Additional information: This is a violin from the brand SCORE.
Wood cracked in three places. Is it worth trying to save, if it’s even possible?
im a music student whose main instruments the piano and my friend is offering to sell his violin for really cheap ($50). im interested in learning over the summer and wanna hear some youtubers i should watch or other resources to learn basic info and whatever.
suggestions for pieces for beginners would also be appreciated!
I always wanted a reference to another person, Im am average 22 year old that practices 2 times a week and a class.
14 lessons (4, a month) later and I can finally play ode to joy in a decent way.
ode to joy from essential elements book one FYI.
this varies based on how much you put in and your skilset.
Edit: The reason I wanted to compare when i first started out is because I wanted to see if as an adult I would make meaningful progress because many online violinists where demotivating me at the start!
ChatGPT said $120-$150 I have no idea how much it’s worth i looked inside the F and saw no tags only clue is it’s made in Germany I bought it for only $40 on Facebook marketplace😆
What is the proper solution to fixing the position of the fine tuners here? The ball end of the A and D string are sitting directly on the tailpiece making the fine tuners in useable. The fine tuners are staying. Do I file down the tailpiece? If so where? Or choose a different style of fine tuners?
Up til now I have learned all the repertoire in Suzuki books 1-3. However as I approach book 4 I absolutely loathe the Seitz concerto. Stylistically, but also some of the intervals are just extremely off-putting and ugly to me. I can’t imagine listening to it enough to learn it well!
I am looking for an alternative piece that would cover a lot of similar skills. Thanks!
I have a 3/4 violin, and need to get the next size up during the summer. My teachers say that I have reached a level where I need a proper violin, and I'm going to Scotland, Ireland, and London in the summer. In ireland I'm specifically going to Dublin and castle bar, and in scotland I'm going do edenburgh. If anyone has any idea let me know!
I have a full size stentor student I and I'm looking to upgrade, nothing crazy. I was thinking of getting a stentor graduate?? Baring in mind I'm 15 with a budget around a few hundred. The music shops in my area don't sell anything besides Stentor I and II.
Hiya there. I just heard that the wonderful finetuners from Mberg are designed only for ball-end strings, not loop-ones. True?
I have no idea when or where he acquired it. I live in Alberta Canada and so did he.
Hi everyone 26f here,
I’m planning to buy a violin and I’m a complete beginner. I would love some suggestions on:
Which violin would be good for a beginner
Good online classes/courses or teachers for learning violin from home
I’m mainly looking for something beginner-friendly and easy to learn with.
Would really appreciate your recommendations and any tips for someone just starting out. Thanks!
There are some designs on the ribs too but I couldn’t get the photos
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hs6ZwO99b1k I heard from a street performer but wasn't bold enough to video shot so I just recorded the piece with phone in my pocket. I don't know why it sounded like a recording from the 60s but it created some nostalgic vibes I guess.
Does anyone know what this piece is? And how would you rate the skill of the street performer (beginner? intermediate? advanced? professional?) I've seen this performer a couple of times. He didn't seem to do extremely well on faster songs, but the slower ones are pretty good..
Before and after I had it fixed up a little
I was gifted this Violin from a customer of mine for my daughter to grow into, I'll be playing it in the meantime. It was his grandmother's. It's made by Francois Barzoni (not a person) in france and sold in london. I had the violin shop check it out and they said it was a Guarneri style violin where the two diagonal quadrants of the violin are tuned the same and the other two tuned the same with each other but different than the other one in an X pattern (sorry i don't know how to describe this😅) It's been so long since it was played that it still had Gut strings on it that were too far gone to play but still cool. Curious if anyone has any other info or any other thoughts. It plays beautifully and has a very rich sound for its age.
Hi! My mother purchased this for me about 14 years ago to start learning violin. But I never started lol
I’m selling it now but I don’t know how much its worth. I posted it online and a lot of people are interested.
Please let me know the approximate worth or any info, as I don’t know anything about violins or music in general.
Sorry for my lack of knowledge xx
Was sind die Unterschiede zwischen einem privaten Geigenlehrer und Geigenlehrer, der in einer Musikschule eingestellt ist, und auch individuell Unterricht gibt? Wir wohnen in München, vielleicht ist diese Info relevant. Danke für Eure Hinweise, Kommentare.
Every time I attempt to tune the violin the peg just loosens for the E string even when I push it inward it still loosens
My violin strings start sounding screechy when I go in higher positions but the string brand is D'addario Ascente and the brand of the rosin is D'addario Kaplan which is good for me.Since it's a beginner bow, the bow quality is cheap. Is it because of the bow? I already applied rosin many times that's just enough, the lower position sounds good but once I go higher, It sounds terrible and sometimes, it just doesn't grab the strings I think 🥲
