This is what I really don't get...then the subject moved to cello...I would think "rolling" be used for slow vibrato and "rocking" as one would prefer to do on guitar, for faster vibrato no? But anyway I am not a cellist and we are talking guitar compensation here. The subject is actually scale temperance, but everyone keeps calling it compensation or 'compensating a tempered scale', which is an oximoron. Since the terms are being used interchangeably and incorrectly why not talk about vibrato? I thought your input on vibrato was the most valuable thing in the entire discussion. I think it is clear that "compensation", as discussed by luthiers and others here, is not for scale temperance but rather, STRING BEND, relative to INTENDED temperance. That being, string bend refers to ONLY SHARPENING of intended pitches...which are tempered "wrong" to begin with, only to be made worse, or obvious, SUPPOSEDLY!... ie compensation is intended to function as a sort of "autotune" filter for the player. Of course, you would be correct to say the new constructed instrument is now "tempered differently"...but the intention is the point. I take back what I said early, having given benefit of doubt to Rui about fretless vibrato, as I had actually SEEN players do what looks like "rolling" as described...a quick look at one of my fav's, yo yo here, it seems he does vibrato by hard "rocking" same as we do on guitar, which I would think is the more "correct" way to do this technique, regardless of thumb/hand postion. http://youtu.be/zNbXuFBjncw
