Horse hair is used to make violin bows.
Every violin maker mkes their violins differently. Depending on the type of wood, the action on the strings, the shape of the body, the placement of the f holes, etc, the sound will be different. Stradivarious violins are really well made, and have perfected the style over the years to make perfect violins.
Its a luthier. they make and repair violins.
Stradivarius. He is the most famous violin maker of all times. you can buy one of his violins for a few million dollars. He uses some kind of famous method to make them. Barely any of his violins still exist. Now, for a few thousand dollars, people make models of his violins using his method. Still, the original copies are a lot more paresis.
Violins range alot in price based on who made the violin in which country at what time. Some violins are worth close to nothing and others can sell for a few million dollars at auction. Many concert artists make a habit of passing down their fine violins to their star pupils to ensure that the violin doesn't end up collecting dust in a museum.
Both violins are good, but it depends on what you like more. Acoustic violins are good if... *you want to play classical music *you don't want to worry with the technical things *you want to just have a common, old fashioned violin Electric violins are good if... *you want to make your own kind of rock/modern genre of music *you are willing to get the deal with the technical things (and buy them) *you want to have a modern, unique violin There are pros and cons with both, but if you want to be simple, get the acoustic. If you want to be futuristic, get the electric. You may even get both! (if you have the money ;) )
Manufactured in the Friedrich August Glass workshop (Germany), these violins are most likely a 19th century copy of the Stradivari violin. Although it is of decent quality, its value is not going to make you a rich person by any means if you sold it.
You carve a piece of wood in the right shape, and do something from there. Ask an expert, and just look at a violin. If you know the parts of the violin, it shouldn't be to hard to figure out how they make one.
This really depends on what level of violin playing you're currently at. Fohnwind makes quality beginner violins, but other brands make better advanced violins. Their Fohnwind Model 12 is their beginner violin that many students use to learn to play at the very beginner. After the student plays for two years, the student may want to upgrade to a violin with a deeper tonality or try out an entirely new instrument. I'd recommend you to hear the Fohnwind violins being played on MozartViolins.com
In the violin family it is in the middle of the range. Not quite as low as the bass and not as high as the violins.
