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.
The Violin store I bought my violin was at Viseltear Violins and my violin lated for 3 years. Hope this helped.
vanessa Mae started violin in the age of 5, she maxed her violin and has created her first album in the age of 16. she is now 30 years old (2008). her violin is the guadagnini, an Italian violin maker, one of the best string makers. her vilin was bought in the auction by her parents for $150,000 in American dollar. her electric jazz violin is branded Zeta, in the colour of white.
The first violin made was by Andrea Amati in 1555. There are a few violins of his from that year that would be the actual first violin. A search of "violin Amati 1555" would give you pictures of these instruments.Interestingly, the first instrument in the violin family was not the violin. It was the viola!
The oldest surviving violin was built in 1564 by Andrea Amati, in Cremona.
I'm not positive but I think gypsy's were the first to play violin.
from how i feel and what i know Andrea amati was the first to invent the violin..!
We bought one new for about $100
The first violin and second violin are the same instruments. In an ensemble (orchestra, symphony, ect.) the first violin plays the higher part and the melody, while the second violin plays the lower part or the harmony. There is sometimes also a third violin, which plays the lower part along with the second violin, and this can go on and on. (4th, 5th, 6th) One common misconception is that the first violin plays the harder part, but this is not always true. The violins playing the harmony might have a harder time supporting the first violins.
Probably the first violin section or the first violin in an ensemble. Different pieces of music require different numbers of violin parts, all playing different notes.
1st violin, 2nd violin, and 3rd violin are all the same instruments, but different parts in a song.
iraq made the first violin in the world.
