A copy of a 1721 Stradivarius violin is actually not worth very much. On the retail market they can be found for about $175 to $400.

All of the strings are part of the violin family. Basically the double bass, cello, and viola are the violin's relatives. The piano and the harp are also considered string instruments.

There are many different ways to play the flute other that just blowing.

Some examples are:

Flutter tonguing - rolling your tongue while blowing across the embouchure hole.

Pizzicato - clucking your tongue or with your lips across the embouchure hole.

Train whistle - covering the lip plate with your mouth and blowing a strong sharp burst of air.

Tongue rams - covering the lip plate with your mouth and blowing while sharply covering the hole with your tongue.

Singing through the flute - this one is difficult and requires a lot of practice. You sing the pitch while playing the note. This can be difficult as you must keep your embouchure in order to get the sound on the flute. It sounds yuck, because of the two different frequencies (the flute and your voice) but as you get better you can sing a different note to the one you are playing. With practice you will be able to do things such as singing and playing in cannon with yourself.

These are just a small few of some of the weird and wonderful ways a flute can be played. Have fun!

I'm sure violins could end up playing with all sorts of instruments; however, I think the most common ensembles a violin plays in are with the cello, bass, and viola. Quintets with 2 violins, a viola, a cello, and a bass are quite ordinary. Quartets with 2 violins, a viola, and a cello are also widespread. Duets and trios can be found for almost any type of instrumentation if you look in a music store. And if you didn't know, the orchestra is probably the most familiar ensemble in which a violin plays. I hope I answered your question.

i would say they are about $100-150 bucks...they are just cheap copies of the real deal.....but good enough to start with i guess. hope that helps.

In classic violin building, the sides, back and sometimes neck of the violin are always made of maple. The top, and the soundpost under the bridge, are spruce. The fingerboard, tailpiece and tuning pegs are ebony, the linings inside the violin are cedar, and the bridge itself is also maple.

The violin is said to be the most diversely expressive instrument, second only to the human voice.

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.

yes he does and hes a conductor too and composer and his name is spelt rieu not however u spelt it!

There are 13 recognized and famous violin composers. Here is the list in alphabetical order: Johann Sebastian Bach, Baltazar, Bannister, Bela Bartok, Ludwig van Beethoven, Johannes Brahms, George Enescu, Fritz Kreisler, Rodolphe Kreutzer, Felix Mendelssohn, Claudio Monteverdi, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Niccolo Paganini.

You can, but it may not be the most comfortable for you, or it may not fit in a 3/4 case.

== The violin is made up of many parts, we will start from the scroll and end and work down

1. The Scroll - this is the head or the curled part and the top of the instrument 2. The peg box and pegs - this is where the pegs enter the instrument - the pegs are used to tune the strings which are attached to them.

3. The neck -this is normally made from maple

3a. The Fingerboard - this is normally made from Ebony and sits on top of the maple neck. 4. The Back - this is made from either one or two pieces of figured wood, normally maple 5. The Ribs - made from the same wood as the back this curls around the violin and define the depth of the instrument 6. The Belly - Normally made from finely grained spruce 7. The bridge - holds the strings above the fingerboard and belly 8. The F Holes - The F shaped cut outs in the belly 9. The sound post - this is inside the violin and is a small post that connects the back to the belly. Also know as "the soul" of the violin

10. The Tail piece - holds the strings from the chin end of the fiddle

11. The Endpin - the button at the chin end that the tail piece is connected to

12. The chinrest - where the chin sits while playing

13. The purfling - these are the black lines that go around the edges of the

instrument, they are made by inserting strips of wood (ebony/rosewood etc) into gouged out lines.

14. The C Bouts - the curved in parts on the sides of the violin

15. Fine Tuners - normally found on starter instruments, these are used for small tuning adjustments.

A long bow is basically one stick of wood (ash, yew, or witch hazel during the hundred year war).

If you look into it's technical parts and divided it visually without physically taking it apart, then it would consist of a grip, a main piece (called a riser in modern terms), two limbs on either side, and (once ready to use) a string.

Hope that answered your question. Look back into the Hundred Year War for England and see their longbow usage for more information.

The note A-natural sounds different on a tuning fork, a violin, and a flute because of the relative amplitudes of harmonics.

The spelling "violins" is correct for the plural form of violin (a stringed musical instrument played with a bow).

The bridge is the structure that rests on the main body of the instrument and holds the strings up; it is crescent-shaped at the top (traditional fiddlers might make theirs flatter?) and stands on two legs. Playing the bow close to the bridge gets a thinner, scratchier sound (mostly treble, little bass, as it were). The Italian term for this is "sul ponticello". Hope this helps!

Generally, student violins are not bought based upon the brand, but by the maker of the violin. Any violin that one buys that is less than roughly 250 USD is not going to be of very good quality. If you buy a violin online, you might have to get the bridge completely readjusted (just for your information). It would be much better to go to a music store or a violin shop and see if you can get a nice violin for a reasonable price instead of buying a violin online.

in the very late Renaissance. It would have been around the mid 1500's when the violin pattern started to really develop. After that, it became kind of standardized. And it really took off during the Baroque era. The Baroque era started somewhere around 1600. In the very last part of the 1500's, the violin started to emerge. At the time, the instrument most like it was the viol but the violin was still very different. (Currently, the viol is now what one would call the Viola de Gamba.) Instruments in the viol family were more sleek, and plaintive and soft. Then somebody invented an instrument that became more brilliant, with a brighter sound. No one actually knows who invented the first violin, but Andreas Amati is considered by most authorities to be the maker who invented the violin as we know it today. Then, at the beginning of the Baroque era, two things happened: opera and the violin family took off. Through the Baroque era, they become more and more and more popular. This was called the Golden Period for violin making. It was Stradivari's time, and with that, high quality violins were being sold, so composers wrote a lot of music for the violin. Bach, Handel, Corelli, and so many Baroque composers that we don't even know about wrote music for the violin. Most people have never heard of so many composers that have awesome classical music. One of the first great violin makers was Amati. I actually had a teacher who owned an Amati.Well, the actual body shape of the violin is the same. In the Renaissance, there were a few that were shaped minimally different, but basically, it is the same instrument from the Baroque era on. And for instance, most of the Stradivari instruments, the only difference is that most of them had their necks broken off and they put a longer, skinnier neck on, so it was possible to play higher on the soundboard, and to make it easier to shift. As well, they added a chin rest. These two things are really the only differences other than the strings and the bow. The strings and the bow were the only things that changed significantly. The strings eventually went from being gut strings in the Baroque era to having metal windings added around the gut, and that happened. Eventually, the high E string became completely metal. The bow actually changed quite dramatically. Originally, it actually bowed the other way; it was convex as opposed to the current concave bow. By the time you get to Mozart's age, the classical era, and then a new kind of bow came in style, which looks more like a modern bow. Currently, we call it a transitional bow. Right at the very end of the Classical era, and the beginning of the Romantic era, the bow became more modern.
