What is the best kind of violin for experts?

How many violins violas basses and cellos in a professional symphony orchestra?

Depends on which orchestral piece and by which composer we are talking about. The actual number of musicians required for any given piece is usually defined in the score written by the composer. There is no real "standard" cut and dried number that fits to every situation.

In The Red Violin why was the violin red?

because, that was the name of the product. (movie,book,etc) if the main subtitle was "the red violin" the author will base it on that name so the violin has to be red.

The answer to this question will ruin the surprise ending of the movie - which is that the maker of the violin in the movie used his dead wife's blood to varnish the instrument, and in doing so the violin took on her life force.

Which is complete rubbish since dried blood turns dark brown when dried.

What is the difference between a violin and a thorough bass?

They're completely different.

The violin is a melody instrument that often plays a solo part.

The thorough bass is more usually called the "basso continuo," or "continuo" for short. It consists of an instrument, and usually two instruments, that play the bass line and the harmony. The expression is used in baroque music.

The continuo is typically a cello or viola da gamba, which plays the bass line, and a harpsichord, which plays the bass line and harmony. The continuo may also be played on a small organ, theorbo, lute, harp, double bass or violone.

Thus a Handel sonata for violin will be played by a violin on the solo part, with cello and harpsichord as the continuo group.

What are facts about banjo music?

#1:

Banjo music originated on the banks of the Mississippi when young men would play their banjos hoping to lure young maidens across the river to their farms and away from the farms of their fathers. The maidens would often cross in the nude due to how cumbersome their petticoats were.

#2:

A banjo originally had a square body. However, due to the need to play it whilst resting the body on their knee, the musicians began to add on extra "wings" to create a circular shape. Over time, those who manufactured the banjo decided to simply change the overall shape.

#3:

Every year, in some rural areas in the southern US, there is a ceremonial crossing of the river for all young maidens about to be wed, done solely to traditional banjo music to signify the history and tradition of the banjo. (see #1) As tradition dictates, the young maidens are all in the nude and the males are wearing nothing but tattered denim overalls. The maidens go toward whichever young man they feel is playing the most alluring banjo music. Although not required, the young men are encouraged to improvise/play an original song. After the maidens cross the river and choose their lover, they go off into their chosen "wedding bush" by their family "crik" and consummate their love.

How would you make a quiet note on double bass?

  • Less weight on the bow.
  • You can turn the hairs of the bow on their side slightly so not so much hair is touching the strings.
  • Bowing further away from the bridge (or closer to the fingerboard) can help.

The Double Bass is actually one of the quieter members of the string family so it is easier to make quiet notes on the Bass than the Violin for example.

Any 5 musical instruments works with electricity?

The pat answer to this question might be a list of electric guitar, electric bass, keyboard synthesizer, digital drum kit, and a MIDI wind synthesizer controller.

However, most of these instruments are just natural instruments with amplification hung off the side (certainly the amplified bass and guitar!) So, let's fill in some of those spots with two very un-natural, but entirely electrical/electronic approaches to making musical instruments:

Telharmonium: Cahill's Telharmonium was an ingenious arrangement of gears and magnetic pickups: the gears were turned (by some mechanical or electromechanical means0 and the pickups generated pitches as the gear teeth varied the output from the pickups at audio frequencies. This instrument was built into the New York City telephone system, and phone subscribers could sign up for a large-speakered transducer for their homes. For a few hours each evening, a musician would sit at the keyboard and play a concert that was heard around the city. The Telharmonium did not last for long, but may well qualify as the first electric organ. The Hammond organs (specifically the tone-bar slider organs) of later decades work on exactly the same principle! It was built around the turn of the 20th century, but was gone before 1915.

Theremin: Leon Theremin (Lev Terman) was a Russian scientist who was working with remote sensors. He developed a musical instrument which is so uniquely different from anything else that it qualifies as the first electronic instrument. The theremin works by beating two radio-frequency oscillators together. The physics of mixers is such that, when the output of the two oscillators (which are themselves too high in frequency to be heard by the human ear), the result is the sum and difference frequencies of the inputs. If the two oscillators are tuned together, their difference is 0, which is, of course, below human hearing as well. Their sum is always higher than the two oscillators, so we'll neglect that. As the difference between the oscillators differs, the difference frequency rises into and through the range of audibility. The theremin has a pitch antenna, which allows the nearness of a player's hand to change one of the oscillators, and determines the pitch. The other hand is used with another antenna to control volume. This playing paradigm is different from all the natural instruments, which require blowing into a tube or across a hole or bowing a string or striking a surface to produce sound, and which change volume by some variation of those efforts. The most famous player of the Theremin was the Virtuosa, Clara Rockmore. Despite Theremin's and Rockmore's desire that the theremin be treated as a legitimate music instrument, its fame seems to have been largely relegated to horror and sci-fi movie backgrounds. It has recently reappeared in Hollywood, played for the movies "Monster House" and "Alien Tresspass." Theremin brought his instrument and ideas to America first in 1929.

What violin solo pieces did Jascha Heifetz play in the 1939 movie They Shall Have Music?

AnswerJascha Heifetz played Camille Saint-Saens' "Introducionne and Rondo Capricioso", most of the third movement of Mendelssohn's violin concerto, "Estrellita" by Manuel Ponce, "Hora Staccato" by Grigoras Dinicu, part of "Melodie" by Peter Tchaikovsky, and an arrangement of the opening to the well-known "Adante Cantabile", also by Tchaikowsky.

How many strings does a rhythm guitar have?

Definetly NOT cheap strings. Cheap strings sound so bad that they pretty much ruin your night. But, it all depends on the music you play. If you play light music, I would suggest light gauge, for heavy... I would suggest standard .9 .11 and so on or I would suggest heavy gauge strings. I use standard because most songs seem to have that kind. I also have a multi-effect board so I can distort to my pleasing so it really don't matter.
