String Instruments

The bridge of a violin does the same thing as the bridges of most other stringed instruments, including the piano, guitar, uke, bass, harpsicord, crwd, etc. It raises the strings from the soundboard or resonating chamber, and it also transfers the vibrating energy of the string to the soundboard or resonating chamber. In the case of bowed instruments like the violin, it also places the strings along an arc (the upper edge of the bridge) so that they are not co-planar. If they were co-planar, you could never get the bow to make one string resonate while leaving the others untouched.

Basically any instrument of the string section (e.g. violin, viola, cello)

From what I read about him & the Little House series online, the answer to your question is no. He does not actually ever play the "fiddle" in the show.

On a 4-string bass the one nearet you leg (and the higghest sounding note) is G. The next one up is D, then A and finally E. On a 5 string you also have C, after the E

These violins are well documented Stradivarius replicas. There are several versions, however a German and French version, which were made in the late 1890's - the late 1920's are the most popular. Even though they are replicas, they are still high quality instruments. The price vale on either version depends on the overall condition, and the quality of sound it produces. I have seen near mint condition ones go for $3,500.00, however I have also seen battered ones go for around $100.00. That's a far cry from the last, Strad, that went at auction for almost $16,000,000.00. A real Stradivarius violin would be around 300 years old, however many blind studies have shown no sound difference between authentic Stradivariuses and copies (crazy huh). The maker of your violin is telling you flat out, it's a replica of a particular Stradivarius originally crafted by Antonius Stradivarius in the year 1728.

I would say to find yourself an online appraiser who is willing to appraise it, free of charge, by viewing HD close-up photos. If you take to a dealer just remember, they are in the business of making money, they will try to get it as cheap as they can!

For starters, Joshua Bell is one of the most famous American violinists. Itzhak Perlman is a famous Israeli violinist also. Jascha Heifetz, Fritz Kreisler and Isaac Stern have all died, but they are legends. Pinchas Zukerman is also a famous conductor and violinist. In addition, Hilary Hahn, Schlomo Mintz, Maxim Vengerov, and Gil Shaham are all very well-known violinists. There are many more I can't think of right now, but those are some of the big names in the world of violin playing right now. abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

Snare drum, bass drum, and toms. There can be different variations, like piccolo snare, double bass, and multiple high and low toms.

There is Snare drum, bass drum, high and low toms, floor tom, hi hat (close and openable) ride cymbal and a crash cymbal (Same as the handheld cymbals).

Snare drum, base drum, left tom, right tom, floor drum, crash cymbal, ride cymbal and a hi-hat

ok im a different person upgrading this.....!!!!! there are the hi hat, ride, crash, splash, china, cow bell, double kick pedal and more which ii forgot

Some variations of the names :

Snare drum : Military drum / Side drum / Field drum

Toms : Tom-tom / Mounted tom / Racked Tom / Floor tom

Bass drum : Kick drum / Big drum

Mostly country,but a little bit of jazz. depends

One can agree. Note also the words to Steven Foster's O Susanna. One can agree the banjo, flute, nor triangle perform without a performer.

There's also a banjo with a scoring to George Gershwin's Rhapsody In Blue. One may also question of the bongo can perform whatever without a bongoist.

I have two different teachers saying two different things,

but this is what the better one says:

Bounce the bow on the string, making sure you hit all three notes. Sometimes it's a little difficult to get the bottom note, too, so just work at it a little.

Hope this helps!

In terms of classical instrument The cello was the first string instrument to be made. But the 1st ever invented stringed instrument was a a simple musical bow, then came the Harp then Lyre; 1st stringed instrument to have acoustic properties

Well, if you're playing in an orchestra playing the violin is a really hard thing to do because you have to think of about forty zillion things all at once...e.g. You have to think what note you are playing on what string, which finger you're playing the note with, what 'position' you are in, where your left elbow is in relation to the violin neck, where your finger-tips are on your bow and how much pressure you should be exerting with your right index finger, what dynamic you're playing at, what angle your bow has to be on the string, whether your right thumb is bent or straight, whether you're right little finger is on the bow, whether you're playing an up bow or a down bow and whether you're lifting and what bow speed you're going at. You have to watch the conductor watch the leader, watch your section leader, watch your desk partner, listen to everyone else, make sure you're in tune, what articulation you are doing...the list goes on and on. The violin is all difficult! However it is a very rewarding and beautiful instrument! The hardest thing to do while playing violin is to concentrate on your breathing instead of your music. i.e. try and breathe according to dynamics or phrases and think about it.

String sets themselves cost anywhere between $15 and $100, depending on the quality you want. If you don't know how to put them on yourself, you can usually take them to an instrument shop, and they'll put them on for you. This usually can cost an extra $10-50.

I have a Copy of Antonius Stradivarius made in Czecho Slovakia around 1890ish. I got mine from my dad for my sweet 16. He bought it from a very old gentleman that had inherited it to the best of my knowledge. I have seen some listed on e-bay that look to be in good shape. They just need minor things such as bridge, strings, bow repairs, etc. Nothing you can't do yourself. As for how much they cost, I think my dad payed around 300 bucks 15 yrs ago. Happy Hunting!

I am not sure of the date of my copy I bought at an antique store in the south about 10 years ago, but I paid $100.

Czechoslovakia wasn't formed into a state until 1918. Your violin was made after then. If it says "copy of" it was made after 1957 when it was required to say "copy of" to avoid confusion. There are so many they are practically worthless.

A violin works just like every other string instrument, so this applies to all of them. The bow, which is pulled across the strings, is made most often of horsehair. Because the horse hair is coarse, it catches on the strings. Rosin is used to help it catch, as rosin is sticky. The bow pulls across the string, causing it to vibrate. When you place a finger down, you shorten the string, causing the vibration to get smaller and higher. The strings are stretched across a wooden structure called a bridge. It connects the strings to the body, so the vibrations can be amplified within in. There are also sound posts withing the violin, under the bridge, to help transfer the vibrations to the back of the violin, so the sound coats the entirety of the violin. The sound is then released through the F-holes, and also straight from the string. That is about how a violin works. There is a lot more physics involved, but very complicated.

The strings on the bass violin are tuned in the reverse order of the violin. They are E, A, D, G, with the E and octave below the low E on the guitar. They are tuned in fourths. Otherwise the distance between the notes would be too long to reach. They use the bass cleft but the notes are played an octave lower. Even then ledger lines are required. Sometimes there is a fifth string used on a classical bass violin. It is tuned even lower depending on the music.

no.....it sounds more electric. That's like asking if an electrical guitar sounds like an acoustic.

absolutly not! The regular violin can have more of a mellow, natural sound. With the electric violin you can get more of a modern sound. The electric violin is usually used in fiddle/bluegrass music. The regular violin is used in classical performances and orchestras. I personally do not play a electric violin because they sound so different. But you can get them in different disigns, colors, and sometimes you can change the sounds on them.

Andrea Amati was a stringed instrument maker in the 16th century (1530's). He was an Italian man who had two sons. He is considered by most historians to be the designer of what we call the violin family of instruments. He made a group of instructional for King Charles IX with decorations such as paintings, carvings, and mottoes for the king.

What is the value of kiso suzuki copy of antonius stradivarius no.7

From 1997 to about 2003 they were imported by a firm in Los Angeles and they were pretty good violins. They were hand crafted from mahogany but the violins vary depending on the person that made them. Some are much better then others.

On the bottom end you'll get a student model that is probably worth around $500-$600, which is what they sold for. Some of them were exceptional and worth several hundred more.

I am judging this based on about 1,000 violins that I personally set up and made ready for market. I made a habit of collecting the best of them for myself and reselling them because of all the china violins, they were about the best, low cost violin out there.

If you are buying one today (2012) and can find one from 10 years back or more, you're probably going to get a really great instrument. Be sure that all the joinery is together and that there is no warping. If the instrument as been taken care of, the wood will have dried out nicely by now and the instrument will be worth at least what it was worth new.

The smaller sizes are also very nice instruments compared to most smaller violins. Any small violin will sound more like a box then a violin so don't expect the world. Once you get down to 1/4 or smaller, you're really buying an instrument that is a fingering trainer more then a sound maker. In the case of the small instruments, be sure the action is set correctly and don't spend more then $200 on any instrument. Originally, the Vivaldi 1/4 and 1/8 etc were about $350 new. They were probably worth it but used I would suggest you don't pay more then $150-$200 condition dependent.

The Antonio Vivaldi violins are not the only good violin made in China. The name is not what you are looking for. You're looking for the quality of the wood and how the instrument resinates. Play the thing and if it sounds like a good violin, it probably is. The glue used these days usually holds together forever. The real problem with cheap violins are the bows. Get a quality bow and most violins will sound ok.

That being said, there are a flood of garbage violins on the market that are priced $200 and under at places like musiciansfriend.com and similar. Those should be avoided by all but the families that just can't afford anything else. They make sound but its not a good one. They don't have the action to train fingers and the bows are worthless. For $200, you can't expect much - and you won't get it either.

There are tutorials how to play the violin. You can purchase the cds online and one of the sites offering this is http://play-violin.net. You can play like a master in due time.
