What it is

A magazine article on Carnatic violin technique: players sit cross-legged with the scroll against the ankle, which frees the left wrist for gamakas, and the best accompanists show a flexible style when following vocalists.

Why it is useful here

Independent support for the seated posture and the accompanying role.
