When was violin rosin invented?

More than "invented", violin rosin is an adaptation of natural tree pitch, or hardened sap.

It is believed that the earliest violin rosins were no more than hardened pitch pulled from trees and utilized as is.

That lead to melting the pitch in order to pour it into more convenient shapes, ie cakes.

From there in an effort to create better and more consistent rosin, makers began to experiment with additives. For example, the addition of beeswax was found to create a less brittle rosin.

The added ingredients in different rosins run the full spectrum from gold flakes to meteorite dust and everything in between and exact ingredients are often closely guarded secrets.

In order to produce high volumes of product many modern rosin makers have turned to utilizing a hardened by-product of the paper industry often called Sylvaros rather than fresh tree sap or pitch.

Violin rosin is generally based from pine tree sap/colophony, but some rosins include colophony from other kinds of conifer trees.

How do I sell my violin?

You may have a violin made by a company named "Stradivarius", but it is probably nothing more than an old violin. Bring it to a few different reputable dealers for an appraisal (appraisal only-- don't let anyone tell you "it's not worth much-- leave it with me and I'll sell it on consignment). Maybe some nearby university professors can put you in touch with an appraiser.

What is the classification of a violin?

Second Violins.

(There is a difference between First and Second violins, but they are still violins. First Violins typically take the high notes, and often the melody, while the second violins play the lower registers and echo the first violins. Sometimes Second Violins take the melody.)

Does the strings of a violin vibrate up and down?

When the bow is rubbed against the strings, microscopic hairs on the hair of the bow create immense friction with the string. This causes the string to vibrate rapidly. The vibrating string, in turn, causes the violin to vibrate.

How do you treat wood to be used for a counter-top?

Ahah now this is something I kind of DO ACTUALLY KNOW! My dad did it a few weeks ago because we bought a house with wooden counter tops. They had eventually gone mouldy. My dad sanded them down and bought some waz, and just put the waz on a cloh and rubbed it on the counter tops. It stank for a while but it DID WORK!! Clever, eh. But seriously, the other side was so bad it was beyond repair, so if you are having them near a tap just don't bother. Seriously. Change it to granite. By the way, don't I have good knowledge (i'm only 13!) But don't make that a reason to not trust me, y'know! Sorry, I just wrote, on the previous one, waz. I meant wax. Should have checked my work really!

What does an original stradivarius violin label look like?

Antonio Stradivari's working life lasted about 75 years. During this time he created many instruments. Each was an original unto itself, whether made as part of a set, by direct commission, or during the daily work routine. These include violins, violas, violoncellos, pochettes, and even guitars. No instrument is exactly like another in every detail of craftsmanship but all bear the marked impress of a skilled, consistent, craftsman who worked on a specific design: the templates of which were fully drawn out on paper before the instrument was made, unless a decision was made to make more than one from a certain pattern which came before. Out of the original number of 410 wooden forms that were once inventoried as part of the tools and materials left in Stradivari's shop (after it closed), fewer than 20 remain and are now housed at the museum in Cremona. Because of this, and many other circumstances, only those who choose to undertake the detailed, painstaking, study of Stradivari's instruments (and not necessarily the so called professional experts) are able to readily identify the work of this master, and/or his sons, or others who may have received instruction from Stradivari. Every production bears the salient and characteristic style of his work, they are all quite beautiful (even if not so well preserved). And, the luminescent tints, hues and colors of the top varnish and surface preparation will stop the knowledgeable connoissuer dead in his tracks. The varnish is the first and last thing we see! And, there is nothing else like it under the sun, excepting the work of Stradivari's contermporary of the same period, Joseph Antonio Guarneri del Gesu.

How much does a Chinese violin cost?

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.

How much would maintenance for a violin cost?

There is very little maintenance needed for a violin: IF it is in good condition when you purchase, and IF it is taken care of as to storage and everyday handlling. Strings do not have to be replaced that often if you use high quality.

how clumsy are you? i mean i dont remember dropping my violin, i polish it after i use it, expensive (you dont need to but its better) rosin regularly. methylated spirits or something ive heard are good for cleaning if its really dirty but dont use it often. if you leave rosin dust on the strings and body then it can be absorbed and reduce the sound quality. but really it depends on how much youre bothered about your violin. if its cheap, fairly temporary and used for lower grades then does it really matter but if it cost thousands id be very careful!

Most strings should be changed once every 6 months depending on how much you play. If you make sure you wipe off excess rosin from strings and body of violin you will not need to polish it/clean it. Also i find tipping a bit of UNCOOKED rice into the f holes then turning them round and tipping them out again gets a lot of the dust out from inside your violin. YOu'd be surprised how much is in there.

You can clean your violin as well.

To clean the body of the instrument, you can use a soft cloth and a cleaner like pledge.

To clean the strings and the fingerboard you can use rubbing alcohol but be very very careful not to get this on the body of your instrument as it can damage it. Q-tips are usually best for this.

if you wipe your violin with a soft cloth before you put it away everytime it will help cut down on the build up you experience as well.

If you take care of your violin, the cost wouldn't be that much, maybe around $50-$60 for new strings and rosin. If you damage your violin though, it can cost way more. Depending on where the damage is and how extensive it is, the cost to repair it can vary.
