    Regarding the Simandl Positions in the comparative study – they’re the same as violin and cello positions, aren’t they?

    Based on the minor scale of the string’s open pitch.
    e.g.
    G = open string
    A = 1st pos.
    Bb= 2nd pos.
    C = 3rd pos. etc, etc.

    That’s right–it is the same, isn’t it? Good to hear from you, Karl! Hope you’re doing well.
