Скачать или смотреть How to sew elastics into your finger cymbals for maximum success!

If you're anything like me, the less-than-thrilling task of sewing elastics into your finger cymbals can sometimes sit on your "to do" list for quite some time, leaving you with awkward safety pins getting in your way or (even worse) no zills to play come practice time.

I've been sewing my zill elastics the same way for nearly twenty years. The method worked pretty well in just about all my finger cymbals... until it didn't. I've found with a few sets that no matter how short I cut the tail of the elastic after I sew them on the underside of the bell, they still get in the way of some sounds, leaving me with not-so-marvelous muffled messes.

So with a bit of tinkering and a few great suggestions from other finger cymbal aficionados I've come up with a new and improved way to sew elastics into finger cymbals, and this method is making all my sets sound cleaner and more precise.

Today I'd love to share with you how to do it, so you can set yourself up for ultimate success with your finger cymbals too! (And I hear some of you saying "But I don't sew!" If you can thread a needle you can do this. I promise you!)

If after this tutorial you're still not getting around to the elastic sewing task, I'd love to make one more recommendation to you! I've started keeping zills that need new elastics near the TV in my living room along with my sewing kit, so on an evening that I sit down to watch a movie, I can get those babies all sewn up and ready to go while I relax.

Try it for yourself!

Happy zilling!
