Do You Need To Warm Up?

[Ed DeGenaro]

I pretty spend enough time with hands on strings that I don’t warm up.
Non teaching days 8-12 hours of practicing and recording.

Teaching days approx. 4-5 hours of that and 4 hours of practice.

So about 60+ hours a week with hands on strings

I'll wring my hands a bit to stretch out the tendons and muscles and then wash em good under hot water stretching some more.
That's pretty much it. Really don't need to do any warm up on the instrument.
