String Instruments

For electric guitars, Rickenbacker (originally called Ro-Pat-In Corporation).

The violin I am using now was $2,000 when I bought it five years ago and was bought to get me through high school. The cheapest violin I've ever bought was $100. It was my first violin so its tone was not good and it was very hard to tune. To get a good quality violin, it usually cost $1000-$5000. It just kind of depends on whether you're looking for a violin for a beginner, intermediate, or advanced person.

Because its strings are very long, and (compared to the violin) at a lower tension. Physics says that the shorter a vibrating string, and the tighter it is, the higher the pitch produced. You can try it yourself with a rubber band.

You might be thinking of a Lute, which is sort of the "father" of the guitar.

The clarinet was introduced to the orchestra in the Classical period, popularised by Mozart, who took a strong liking to the new instrument. There were, however, earlier versions (chalumeaux) which were not as popular or loud.

You can't be going for a particular pitch, since that will vary. You must be going for tonic, or fundamental tone.

Hi,

I just got the MV650 mendini violin and am very surprised and impressed. The tone is very nice, the strings play well and setting it up has not been much of an issue at all. My music-teacher friend says I really lucked out with this one, ordering over the Internet. The only real issue is that the case that came with it is not long enough to hold a full-length bow. But I do have another case that will work.

Hope this helps,

False, bow hair is made out of horse hair. Strings are either made out of sheep intestines (NOT 'cat gut'), Metal or synthetic fibres.

In no particular order, the top ten violin concertos are: * Violin Concerto in D Minor- Sibelius * Violin Concerto in D Major- Tchaikovsky * Violin Concerto in E Minor- Mendelssohn * Violin Concerto in D Major- Beethoven * Violin Concerto in A Minor- Glazunov * Violin Concerto in G Minor- Bruch * Violin Concerto in D Major- Brahms * Violin Concerto in G Minor- Prokofiev * Violin Concerto in A Minor- Bach * Violin Concerto in B Minor- Elgar This is definitely an "arguable" top 10 list, but they're all pretty famous concertos. Those are just the ones that came off the top of my head, so I'm sure I missed some other really good ones, but those are the only ones I can think of for now. The list was narrowed down a lot since it was just violin concertos, but these are definitely some of the best. Other notes: * Joshua Bell's CD of the Mendelssohn and the Bruch are fantastic. * Nigel Kennedy's perfomance of the Bach is great. * Schlomo Mintz plays excellent versions of the Mendelssohn and the Sibelius on Youtube. * Jascha Heifetz's CD compiled of the Sibelius, Tchaikovsky and Glazunov is very good. He was a great violinist, but since he played so long ago, the recordings are not always that great.

In the original Banjo-Tooie on Nintendo 64 you must use cheats for example, Game Shark or use Project 64, download the game to the computer and then find the cheat for it. But on the Xbox 360 Arcade version of it, its impossible to get the evil bottles cheat. Hope this helped :)

It's not really handmade by Karl Knilling. Karl Knilling is just a ficticious trade name for German-made violins imported and sold by U.S. BAND & ORCHESTRA SUPPLIES, INC from St. Louis, Missouri. Your model, in good shape and set up with a good bridge and strings, a bow and the hardshell case it probably came in, might fetch about $250 in excellent condition, and about $150 if it shows signs of wear and use. That's not to say they're cheap instruments, but because they're mass-produced student level instruments, they're never going to be worth much. The model you have was probably made in the late 1980s to early 1990s.

The notes on the G-string are, open G, first finger A, second finger B, third C, fourth D or you can choose to play D on the next string as an open note as well. Try thinking of it as an alphabet that stops at G and repeats constantly.

Yes--it originally evolved the rebab, a two-stringed instrument from the Middle East/north Africa. When it came to Europe, it evolved into the rebec, which was similar, and then it became the "lira da braccio," which was played by arm and more of lyre than a violin. In the 1550s, today's violins bean to appear in Italy.

Like other acoustic instruments, the hollow body resonates with the string vibrations and amplifies the sound

Well, no because it'll only end up being a violin... and the only difference between a viola and a violin is it's strings and the size of it for the note pitch....

Well the thing is that for people that aren't commfortable with the violin finger board, they usually have a viola, but there is violin strings. Which means that you are playing the violin all thought the body and shape is the viola. So you can use violin strings on a viola.

This really derends on the era and the occasion: Handels "Music for the royal Fireworks" was preformed in Vaxhall Gardens so a large number of instruments houndreds. However most early Baroque orchestras hav about 12 inst. and a harpsicord or an organ. However in later orchestras we can observe more use of brass (natural trumpets) and woodwind (recorders, and oboes/ shawms) when the orchestras grew the exceeded 20 inst. Hope this helps R.O.D

I have a similar label on my violin except the date reads 1726. These violins were made in Germany quite possibly Mittenwald, in the 1880s. The instrument if fixed properly and in good working condition should sound a lot better than the cheap merchandise that's being made today. You might want to bring it to a professional luthier for evaluation. Here is the link for an auction a few years back for a violin with nearly the same label.

I hope this answers your question. Good luck.

around fourteen years old?

The best age to start a rock band is... whenever you feel your ready! It's always a good age to get into music, especially rock music! It's one of my favorite genres, besides deathcore (a sub-genre of Metal, which in turn is a sub-genre of Rock), and I think you could learn a lot from the experience. Have fun and send me a message when you've thought of a good band name! And if you want i could send you some of the music that my band has made. Good luck!

Words are:

Sweet Heart of Jesus Sweet Heart of Jesus, font of love and mercy Today we come, Thy blessing to implore. Oh touch our hearts, so cold and so ungrateful And make them Lord, Thine own for evermore. Sweet Heart of Jesus we implore, Oh make us love Thee more and more. Sweet Heart of Jesus, make us pure and gentle And teach us how to do Thy blessed will; To follow close the print of Thy dear footsteps And when we fall, Sweet Heart, oh love us still.

Music I can't do as haven't got the facilities here. Ask at local Catholic church & they can probably help

A Sharpie marker probably has no effect on the sound or qualityof a violin if you write on it, but I strongly advise you NOT to use one. If you want to put your name on your violin, use a name sticker, as you can take that off, but you can not remove a Sharpie. Especially if the violin is an old one, refrain from doing anything that will leave a permanent mark or damage to it, it will decrease its value significantly and old violins are getting increasingly rare (obviously because there's only a set number and when they break...). I know my violin is almost a century old and, although not in pristine condition, has been valued at around £500. So look after those vintage violins, people!

It depends on the size, you can get a violin that is small enough for a four-year-old to play, or you can get one large enough for a grown adult. you can also get very small full-size violins or larger small-size violins.

He learnt from his father and his uncles, they also taught him how to play the organ and the harpischord. His father and one of his uncles were famous musicians, his father - Johann Amrosius Bach and one of his uncles - Johann Christoph Bach a famous organist. His brother, also names Johann Christoph Bach, taught him how to play the calvichord when he was about 10 years old.

Violin strings are held on a violin with tuning pegs. The pegs are then turned until the strings reach the correction tension. The correct tension is when the strings are in tune. Adding more tension to a string by turning the pegs will increase the pitch and turning the pegs in the opposite direction will lower the pitch. The strings on a violin are tuned to the notes G D A E from lowest to highest.
