How far should a violins strings be from the fingerboard on average?
Jennrobs
This is entirely up to you. Some players prefer a fast 'action' (the name given to the distance between string and fret), whilst some players feel a bigger distance is better. An average distance would be about 5 millimeters. However you should try both and see what you prefer.

What are some of the techniques for bowing a violin when playing?
The basics for bowing a violin start with keeping the bow straight and halfway between the end of the fingerboard and the bridge. The shoulder should not move at all, and instead bowing should be done with the wrist and the elbow. The amount of pressure placed on the strings should vary based on the type of note being played.
Where do the viola players sit in a seating chart of the traditional symphony orchestra?
It depends on the size of the orchestra. If you have a larger orchestra, there will be more 1st violins. If you have a smaller orchestra, there will be less 1st violins. Also, it depends on how the conductor decides to split the violins. The conductor may try to split the violins evenly or have one section of violins that is bigger than the other section(s) of violins.
Who makes and repairs violins?
Any music store repairs violins. As for making violins, Richmond Virginia has many great stores that make them. Look around in your local directory
What instrument is closets to the conductor in a orchestrate?
The question should be : What instrument is closest to the conductor in an orchestra? I assume the question refers to a symphonic (philharmonic) orchestra. The answer is that two instruments are closer to the conductor: the first violin (principal of the first violins) on the left, and most of the time, the first cello on the right. I say most of the time, because orchestras are usually put in a layout with the first violins on the left and the cellos on the right. However some orchestras use the distribution of first violins on the left and second violins on the right. In this case the closes instruments would be the first violin (1st violins principal) and the principal of the second violins.

How do you fix a violin string if it broke?
It would be best to just buy a new set of strings and put them (all) on. While your at you it would be good to clean the fingerboard and stuff. Lemon or linseed(?) should do the trick for the fingerboard.
What is the double bass bridge height setting for playing slap bass?
For ease in slap bass, you need high action. "Action" in this sense simply means how high your strings are from your fingerboard. Because each bass is hand made and different, each bridge is going to have different measurements of what is "high" action and what is "low" action. Instead of looking at the bridge, look at the octave point on your strings (exact halfway point from nut to bridge). So, what is high action? Assuming your fingerboard isn't horribly warped, you should have at least a half an inch of space between your string and the fingerboard. This gives you enough space for your fingers to curl under the strings in order to pull the string back and snap it against the fingerboard.

How are horses recycled?
Its sad but most horses that are unwanted are killed and turned into glue. Their tail and mane hair are used for strings on violins. Some horses that are family pets, thankfully, usually die of old age. The family, or sometimes the vet, will bury them. Actually, they aren't turned into glue. That is the fatty waste. They are killed for the meat, which is considered a delicacy and is expensive in many counties. Also, the mane and tail hairs are used for the bow, not the strings. The strings are metal or nylon. The bow is used on violins, violas, cellos, and basses. I'm in orchestra, i should know. Horses don't have to be dead to get the hair. The hair will get loose sometimes, just like human hair. It pulls out easily, too.
How do you tune a strings of a violin?
First, find a tuner. The strings (from left to right) are G, D, A, and E. Adjust the pitches by twisting the pegs (at the top, there should be 4 of them, one for each string) or an easier way is by using fine-tuners (little pegs near the middle/ bottom of the violin, there also should be 4, one for each stings) *note: pegs are harder to use but they come with violins, fine-tuners are easier to use, but you might have to buy them, and don't twist your pegs too much or your strings might slip, or break
