How do you apply rosin to a violin bow?
Asked by Wiki User
Community Answer 1
If you have not used the rosin on your bow before, take a nail file and file the top of the rosin down so that it looks a bit scratchy. Then run the scratchy side of the rosin up and down the horsehair of the bow in long even strokes. You know you have enough rosin on your bow when you draw the bow across the string and it leaves a white rosin trace. Remember to wipe off your strings with a towel when you're done playing to keep the rosin from building up. When applying rosin to the string do not touch the horsehair with your hand because the oils from your hand will ruin the horsehair if you touch it too much.

Only poor quality or old rosin needs to be scratched before use. I would recommend that having a clear tone tells you when you have enough rosin, if you go as far as leaving rosin dust on the string, you definitely have enough.

Why does middle c on a piano sound different from the same note on a violin?
Asked by Wiki User
They should both be playing the same pitch, if that is a problem then they are "out of tune." Each different instrument makes a different sound because the strings vibrate differently creating different harmonics. Also, the piano string is struck by a hammer and the violin string is played by drawing a bow across it, causing it to vibrate.
Why are smaller dams better than bigger dams?
Asked by Wiki User
The answer there is more pressure on smaller dams which creates MORE electricity.
+++
Sorry but that makes no sense. The electricity generated depends on rate of flow and head available, not on dam size. In fact the higher the dam the greater the head (depth hence water-pressure at the turbine), though this can be increased still further by piping the water to a power-station situated further down the valley instead of at the dam foot.
A more useful advantage of a smaller dam is its smaller environmental effect.
What is the value of a playing condition violin made by Grand Gerard 1800?
Asked by Wiki User
On auction violins of Jean Baptist Grand Gerard are doing badly. They sell in the range of $300 to $800.
In fact the value should be $3,000 to $5,000 depends on the condition and the sonority of the violin.
The violins of Grand Gerard are of inferior quality and workmanship, but keep in mind are about 200 years old, made by hand, and the tone is quite good.
