String Instruments

-Grunty Industries- When you get to mumbo's, use a grenade to bust down the vent. It should lead to the entrance of electromag chamber. If you haven't opened the chamber door, you can see the battery from the tower with the green gloop on the ground just outside the door. On the 2nd floor, there is a flight pad button placed obviously on a low platform. Use it to fly to outside and in one of the doors on the side there should be a metal square with bolts. Drill peck all 4 bolts to make the mumbo pad fall. Go back to mumbo and use the vent to go to the magnet chamber. Use his magic on the pad then run back to banjo and switch. Use the warp pad to get to humba. The glowbo is behind the pipe. Change into the washer and get to the electromag room and push the big red button. Change back into banjo. Go to the first floor and find the door that says "Air con plant." go down the ladder and turn right. Use the wire as a climbing ledge and get to the door that says "repair depot." Go down the ladder and get ready for an easy fight.

Bluegrass band instrumentation varies depending on who is available and what they want to do for each song. However, some instruments are associated with Traditional bluegrass.

1) The Banjo is a mainstay of bluegrass music, so much so that the sound of one being played with frailing or rolling technique makes anything sound bluegrass (even when it isn't intended to!) The bluegrass banjo of choice is a five-string model with metal rim, snare-drum head and tensioners and the fifth string shorter than the others (so that most of the time it is un-fingered and played as a drone.) The banjo can provide a fundamental arpeggiated harmony or play solos, and the different ways it can be tuned may allow whole runs to be played without moving the left-hand fingers a lot!

2) The guitar is as necessary to bluegrass as anything else, the most common type being the flat-top acoustic played with a flat pick, either in 'rhythm guitar' chords or fingerpicking style (the most common being "Travis picking", where the thumb alternates between bass and tenor notes and the other fingers contribute chordal notes in between). The guitar can also take solos, using the flat pick in alternate directions to sound each successive note. Some other varieties of guitar (almost always 'flat-top' acoustic sorts) have become embedded in Bluegrass music, most notably the Dobro and the National guitar. The Dobro is basically an acoustic guitar played with a slide, but with the strings lifted and held 'flat' to make it easier to do slide work on. Some Dobro players are quite good at mixing the slide with fingered notes. The National guitar features a metal top with a cone-shaped addition behind openings in the top. Although most call this an amplifier, it is actually an impedance-matcher, coupling the sound more strongly to the air. Both Dobro and National Guitar can be played with slides and lifted strings or like a normal acoustic.

3) The Fiddle is also a characteristically bluegrass instrument, although technically there need be no difference between a 'fiddle' and a violin other than, as the saying goes, attitude! Bluegrass fiddle styles vary and can sound anywhere between Irish fiddle, classical violin, Cajun romp, or any other variety, as the player feels will fit in well with the music. Slides and chords, train-whistle sounds, whatever carries the emotion of the song usually falls on the fiddle because the other instruments are plucked.

4) The mandolin (tuned like the fiddle, but with doubled strings, frets, and played with a flat pick) is used for solo work, often in sixths or thirds with the fiddle, or in playing punctuating off-beat chords.

5) Finally, of the 'big five', would have to be the string bass. Like the fiddle, there need be no difference between an orchestral bass and one used in bluegrass, other than how it is played (and even then, any orchestral techniques are fair game for bluegrass!)

Out side of these instruments, some bluegrass bands add a drum set (often called 'trap'), keyboard, or other instruments (even pedal steel guitar, although that tends to move the band out of the pure 'bluegrass' category!) And, of course, the most important instrument in a bluegrass band is the voice, because without, you'd lose all the songs.

Maybe...Firstly, stradiuarius is a spelling mistake (just like in my violin). Does it say copy of first? If it does, well its not a real strad obviously. During the 19th century many of the copies were mass produced in Germany, Japan and even places such as America, but it was only in 1954, that America requested that copy must be added if it was a copy. Chances are, yours is a copy, made before 1954. It may be machine mass produced or more or less likely hand made. I would recommend that you get it valued if you can't tell yourself if its a good or bad violin. Some are shabby, but some are worth alot. My violin is exactly the same thing inside but I think its pretty good. In 1914 the Federal Government required all imports to be marked "made in" and the country of origin. So this piece was clearly made after 1914 and thus could not be a real one. (Absence of this mark does not mean an item is older than 1914 since it may have been on the box or a paper label on the item that is now missing.)

A string cross is also known as an eye of God. You need two sticks to make the cross, and a lot of colored string. You can use yarn also.

Make a loose knot with one end of a string to tie the two sticks together in the shape of a cross. Now take the string and weave it around the sticks, starting at the place where they join. Pull the string over one stick, under the next, over the stick, and under the next. Keep the string pushed up close to the previous row, unless you choose to make a very lacy, open design. Keep weaving the string over and under until the design looks the way you want it to. Most string crosses have between one and three inches of stick left.

If your string isn't long enough, tie it off at one of the cross arms, and tie the next one on. Some people tie the two strings together, but I wouldn't suggest that, because the knot shows when you are finished.

In my experience, rosin (for any instrument) has a shorter life than the manufacturers claim, because, long before the rosin goes bad, it gets dropped.

Most of the rest of what is said about rosin is unsupportable. Since rosin makers rarely reveal all the additives and the purity of the colophon (the resin that is extracted from sap, which gives rosin its characteristic stickiness), it is a shot in the dark to make comparisons. In fact, for the manufactures of the high-volume lines, there isn't even a lot of guarantee that the rosin of this month is the same as next month's batch.

Some manufacturers advertise that their rosin is made only of purified colophon, and some of it might just be. Others advertise additives which are supposed to make the rosin cause a "smoother sound", whatever that might mean. Some of these component are surprising, others are downright startling: Beeswax, for instance, melts at temperatures which are compatible with rosin-melting temperatures, and might just form a uniform admixture which is preserved through pouring, cooling, shipping, sitting on shelves, being rubbed on bow hairs, and then on strings. Others, like gold, silver and ground meteor bits (which are never qualified, let alone quantified) are supposed to have nearly magical effects on sound.

It is said that La Scala's pit orchestra used the same block of rosin for decades, and that it only required a single stroke of a bow before a performance for the most perfect sound of Violin through string bass. The recipe for that rosin is, of course, lost to history.

If you are finding that the effect of your rosin is changing within short periods (one or two months), it is a good idea to look to the amount of rosin you apply to your bow, how (or if) you clean your strings between sessions, and whether you are inadvertently contaminating the strings with oils from the skin of your fingers or other body-oils. Only after ensuring that you aren't causing the problem, should you worry about the rosin: are you using too much? Too little? Does your rosin produce a great deal of dust? Maybe one of the "professional" grades which are touted to produce little or no dust would work better for you. (These are sometimes sold as "non-allergenic", because some people become allergic to rosin dust and need a rosin which doesn't produce dust.)

If you loosen your bow and run a _very_ clean comb which has not been used on human or animal hair through the hairs, you can see if you are using too much rosin or too soft rosin for your environment fairly easily: the hairs will not separate easily. If the comb becomes covered with rosin dust, you should be cutting back on application of rosin. If the hairs appear more yellowed in the area near where you hold your bow, you may be oiling them with finger oils.

A stradivarius instrument is an instrument made by Stradivarius, a string instrument maker who lived hundreds of years ago, therefore they are not made today.

well, some would call it rosin, but you rub it on your bow so it has a better sound...and actually makes sound

Also, it helps the bow get a better grip on the strings.

THIS NOT FOR THE VIOLIN, IT FOR THE TRUMPET, I don't know the whole part, but I'm pretty sure that from 2:01 until 2:14, it is a G, A, F#, E, and then repeat it. It is the same every time, except on the last time playing it, the last note is and E flat, not E natural. I hope this helps some.

yes

Drums, trumpet, violin, and many more, make loud sounds.

You may have more luck finding original compositions for Violin, Viola and piano trio, but I'm sure there are a number of pieces written for two violins with piano accompaniment. Look for Violin duets at your local music store or music library.
