The sling is an instrument, and she must sing. The-musician must be able to play his instrument, and his instrument must be tuned to produce a harmonious melody. or else the song is ruined
Actually sounds a little odd at first J but there may be a lot of truth to that. Notes have different times like 2/4, 3/4 and 4/4.
Think of the Greek, Apache and Byzantine as 2/4, The figure-8, Vertical Greek and Two spin side arm as 3/4 and the Balearic style, Helicopter and Underhand as 4/4.
The timing in slinging is really important. Listen to the crack of the sling. A deeper richer note is better than an erratic or soft sound. More energy is being applied.
I would consider a paracord sling or one of NOOC’s asymetrics to be more like flutes or clarinets while the heavy Balearic is more like a bassoon or tuba.
Both have their place in the symphony of slinging, both must be guided by the Maestro and all beautiful in different ways.
I imagine even seating arrangement and the clothes worn by the different muscians could fall into this analogy. As could, in a round about yet deeper way, hair color, culture, political leanings and credit score. All can be related to the sling in their own ways.
This is one of those insights that make me glad you are here. It makes me really think outside the box to give proper answer for the situation.
Thanks man. You do more than you know. Appreciate ya.
