why would there be? unless it was custom made for someone, its called full size for a reason. i would presume you can have violins made for a specific person, and if that specific person was rather large, it would result in a rather large violin. if not, play double bass. that's pretty big.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A full-size 4/4 violin is about 23 to 23 1/2 " long with a ~14" body. A viola can come in different sizes like a violin and can be 1 to 4" longer than a 4/4 violin. The big difference is that a viola is tuned (most of the time) to C-G-D-A, one-fifth (five half tones) below the violin.

So...... If you have come across something slightly larger than a 4/4 violin, and you were wondering what it was, it is probably a viola.

On the other hand, if your question arises from the hope of obtaining a violin bigger than a full 4/4 violin, you can always fit violin-gauge strings to a small viola and hope that the added string tension from tuning it to the G-D-A-E violin scale does not snap it in half. (P.S. It probably won't.)

It certainly is. They are both in the string family and the cellos,and the basses are too they are all related.

They are certainly not. Violins are from the viola Family, meaning little viola, and the guitar is from the lute family, named after an english medieval expression for women of easy virtue. Just because they have strings it doesn't mean they are from the same family.

if your bow seems too slippery, you probably have no rosin on the string.

the violins height is hard to reconize but soon will be discovered. It is usually 50 inches.

This is just a stupid answer. What first of all is the question asking. Height of the arching top to back-around 60mm's, height of the ribs-about 30mm's. Or did they mean overall length of the violin-not really a used measurement, the length of the instruments body is 14"+-. This all assumes a full size violin, 50" is not even close.

In short, priceless. If this is a genuine Stradivari Violin, it will be worth well over $3,000,000 at auction, according to the research I've done due to having found one of these from my deceased grandparents, who themselves have had it in their family for over 160 years. The first thing you will need to do is to have it appraised and find out if it is indeed genuine.

The problem is that almost all of the 600 or so instuments made by Antonio Stradivari are accounted for. That in combination with the fact that it is perfectly legal for any violinmaker to put a label like the one you mention inside his instruments ,as long as he doesn't try to sell the instrument as the genuine article,make it EXTREMELY unlikely that your violin is anything more than an instrument made "in the style of". That being said ,your viloin could still have substantial value.Many "copies" of Stradivari violins are themselves worth many thousands of dollars .The only way to tell for sure is to have a qualified luthier look at your instrument, again keeping in mind that the likelihood of it being a genuine Stradivari would something in the neighborhood of one in a Trillion.

What's unique about the violin is that its bow is made out of horse hair. They use the horse's tail hair to make the bow. This question is able to be opinionated. Some people might not think it is unique, yet some may think that's the greatest thing they have ever heard!

Flute

Oboe

piano

bell kit

marimba

xylophone

Trombone

and more

Usually oak or cherry wood... Special substances were put on the outside by Antonio Stradivari to preserve it and to improve the sound quality.

The violin gives an appearance of deceptive simplicity to the eye, but is in fact constructed of some 70 parts, which require the skill of a master craftsman to cut and assemble. Acoustically it is one of the most complex of instruments (see §2(ii) below). The body is a hollow box (fig.1) about 35·5 cm long, consisting of an arched top plate ('belly') and arched back plate, joined by sides ('ribs') of slightly varying heights (a typical Stradivari measurement is 2·8 cm at the top end of the instrument and 3·2 cm at the bottom). The edges of the belly and back are not flush with the ribs as is usual in a viol, but project beyond, overhanging the ribs slightly. The belly is made of softwood, generally European spruce, and the back and sides are fashioned of hardwood, usually maple. The neck, pegbox and scroll are also customarily of maple. The fingerboard runs along the neck and extends over the belly towards the bridge; it is now normally made of ebony. It is unfretted, a feature that distinguishes the violins from the viols.

The scroll is on the top near the pegs. it is that thing that curves at the top

The frog on the violin has had many questions on why it was called that. There has also been varied reasons from people. Some reasons found, were either related to figurative meanings and the making of the bow.

The tool used to make the frog of the bow is a vice like tool and is said to be shaped and fashioned after that.

Another theory is that the phrase 'frog' is also found when referring to horses. The bottom of horses' feet are often called frogs or 'frosh' (from where frog is derived), and the frog on the bow is located at the bottom. I.e., frog would mean bottom.

Two other reasons thought about the frog are less word orientated as to names and playing the violin. When one gives too much pressure on the frog while playing the violin, it tends to bounce and give and uneven sound to playing; resembling a frog.

The other would be derived from the man's name who invented the frog on the bow. His name is Helmut Gorf, and his last name, if spelled backwards, spells 'frog'.

Another reason given tends to be that the frog of the bow somewhat resemble the vague profile of a frog. When the bow is held upside down (especially with Viola and Cello bows which tend to have curved backs at the end) the frog piece actually looks something like a tree frog on a branch holding the horse hair in its mouth.

I recently purchased a chin pillow (commonly called a chin chum) for a violin. Problem is I cannot figure out how to attach it to the chin rest. All it is made of is thin foam covered with a felt material in the shape of a large tear drop. At the bottom is an elastic band, which I thought was supposed to some how wrap around the base of the violin. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to stay secure. Anyone know how this thing works?

A person can master his/her violin bow technique by practicing. A person can practice the method of holding the violin bow without physically holding the bow to make sure the fingers are placed correctly; after a person knows how to hold a bow properly, he/she can practice with the bow.

First off, you do not rosin a violin. You rosin a bow. How to rosin a bow: 1. Hold end of bow (frog end) in right hand in firm grip. 2. take rosin in left hand and hold one end. do not touch the other end of the rosin with your hand 3. Put the end of the rosin that you are not touching with your left hand and place in contact with horsehair on tip of bow (not frog end) 4. Gently rub rosin on bow, sliding up and down horsehair. Note: Do NOT let hand rub horsehair, just the rosin!!! 5. now you can play the violin with rosin on the bow! Yea!!!!

You use rosin (resin is what comes out of the tree in it's raw state), on bows (this goes for violin, viola, cello, and bass bows) so that the bow can get a good grip on the strings and make a sound. New bows will need to be rosined a good amount because it hasn't been played yet and rosin hasn't taken a hold on the bow hairs yet. A bow that has been used before and been played for a while doesn't need as much rosin as a new bow because there is already rosin on the bow hairs. If you don't rosin your bow every once in a while, the sound that will be produced will sound wierd.

You basically rub the hairs of the bow onto the rosin. But, the rosin has to be scraped to gab onto the bow hairs. But good rosin does no need to be scraped before using. I one bought a violin that came with a free rosin and I rubbed it on for half an hour and nothing went on. I then bought a more expensive piece of rosin and it worked just fine.

violin, viola, (violin) cello, (double) bass

i can get notes from seraching it in the website

I'm not quite sure if you mean when was the violin made or...um...when was the violin. But anyways, I'm going to answer when was the violin made.

It is probable that the violin (and its other cousins the viola and cello) were created during the mid-16th century in Northern Italy. Perhaps being the maker of the first true violins, Andrea Amati (ca. 1500-1577) was the patriarch of the Cremona school of violin making. Antonio Stradivari (1644-1737) and Bartolomeo Giuseppe Guarneri (1698-1744), brought the violin to its highest level both as a musical instrument and as a work of art.

Guitars are string instruments that can be played using a pick or with the fingers. Another stringed instrument that is played using the fingers is the banjo. Ukeleles are also played in a similar way.

The violin, by all accounts, originates in Northern Italy during the first half of the 16th century. But the "inventor" is unknown and will remain open to discussion. Most scholars credit Andrea Amati of Cremona (c.1511-1577), as the first known violin maker because there exists documentation of two violins he created between 1542 and and 1546. However, these instruments had only three strings, like the rebec. The first four string violin, also by Andrea Amati, was dated 1555. The oldest surviving violin, c.1560, is also by Andrea Amati.

Yes. It can also be played without a bow by plucking or slapping the strings.

There are some songs in which doesn't use a bow at all for a double bass. Other songs, though, will require that the bow be used the entire song. There are songs that encorporate both the bow and 'plucking' the strings. For tuning purposes, a bow is most likely to be used.
