How to Rosin a violin?
First off, you do not rosin a violin. You rosin a bow. How to rosin a bow: 1. Hold end of bow (frog end) in right hand in firm grip. 2. take rosin in left hand and hold one end. do not touch the other end of the rosin with your hand 3. Put the end of the rosin that you are not touching with your left hand and place in contact with horsehair on tip of bow (not frog end) 4. Gently rub rosin on bow, sliding up and down horsehair. Note: Do NOT let hand rub horsehair, just the rosin!!! 5. now you can play the violin with rosin on the bow! Yea!!!!
Is the palatino violin a good quality violin?
Palatino violins are strictly 'entry-level' low cost and suitable for beginner's.
How do you apply violin rosin?
You basically rub the hairs of the bow onto the rosin. But, the rosin has to be scraped to gab onto the bow hairs. But good rosin does no need to be scraped before using. I one bought a violin that came with a free rosin and I rubbed it on for half an hour and nothing went on. I then bought a more expensive piece of rosin and it worked just fine.
Why do you need to add rosin to a violin bow?
You use rosin (resin is what comes out of the tree in it's raw state), on bows (this goes for violin, viola, cello, and bass bows) so that the bow can get a good grip on the strings and make a sound. New bows will need to be rosined a good amount because it hasn't been played yet and rosin hasn't taken a hold on the bow hairs yet. A bow that has been used before and been played for a while doesn't need as much rosin as a new bow because there is already rosin on the bow hairs. If you don't rosin your bow every once in a while, the sound that will be produced will sound wierd.

How much does a Chinese violin cost?
The violin I am using now was $2,000 when I bought it five years ago and was bought to get me through high school. The cheapest violin I've ever bought was $100. It was my first violin so its tone was not good and it was very hard to tune. To get a good quality violin, it usually cost $1000-$5000. It just kind of depends on whether you're looking for a violin for a beginner, intermediate, or advanced person.
How much would maintenance for a violin cost?
There is very little maintenance needed for a violin: IF it is in good condition when you purchase, and IF it is taken care of as to storage and everyday handlling. Strings do not have to be replaced that often if you use high quality. how clumsy are you? i mean i dont remember dropping my violin, i polish it after i use it, expensive (you dont need to but its better) rosin regularly. methylated spirits or something ive heard are good for cleaning if its really dirty but dont use it often. if you leave rosin dust on the strings and body then it can be absorbed and reduce the sound quality. but really it depends on how much youre bothered about your violin. if its cheap, fairly temporary and used for lower grades then does it really matter but if it cost thousands id be very careful! Most strings should be changed once every 6 months depending on how much you play. If you make sure you wipe off excess rosin from strings and body of violin you will not need to polish it/clean it. Also i find tipping a bit of UNCOOKED rice into the f holes then turning them round and tipping them out again gets a lot of the dust out from inside your violin. YOu'd be surprised how much is in there. You can clean your violin as well. To clean the body of the instrument, you can use a soft cloth and a cleaner like pledge. To clean the strings and the fingerboard you can use rubbing alcohol but be very very careful not to get this on the body of your instrument as it can damage it. Q-tips are usually best for this. if you wipe your violin with a soft cloth before you put it away everytime it will help cut down on the build up you experience as well. If you take care of your violin, the cost wouldn't be that much, maybe around $50-$60 for new strings and rosin. If you damage your violin though, it can cost way more. Depending on where the damage is and how extensive it is, the cost to repair it can vary.

What is put on the violin bow to make the bow sticky?
Sticky glue
What you play a violin with?
You play a violin with a bow consisting of a stick with a ribbon of horse hair strung between the tip.First, it is good to have a violin, a bow, rosin, a tuner of some sort, a soft cleaning cloth, and an introductory violin method book such as Suzuki Violin School Volume 1 or Essential Elements for Strings Volume 1. It is also good to have a private teacher to help you learn if you are not involved in a school orchestra (if you are of that age).You need a bow and your fingers
Is the Hohner electric violin a quality instrument?
Yes, unfourtnantly they are out of production. The style was a little different from fender's electric violin's models but it still had the same quality sound for a cheaper price.
Where can you get this 1879 violin appraised by a honest violin appraiser?
Good luck finding an honest appraiser! Violin resellers need their cut so they cannot answer exactly. As a student, I ask my experienced teacher about these things. A good quality violin that old is likely to be worth a lot, so get many quotes to form your opinion.
