Violin

Basically any instrument of the string section (e.g. violin, viola, cello)

go to flutesongs.com and look up "cancan" it should be able to work however it doesnt work on some computers.

The first modern violin was crafted in Europe in the 16th century, and improved upon during the 18th and 19th centuries.

The neck, in the case of the saxophone, is the starting point of the amplifiation of its sound. All necks on saxes are designed to play at their C sharp pitch (so that a C sharp will be played when no keys are held down, or in its C sharp alternate state where the first keys are not held down), being a concert B on Tenor and other B flat saxophones, and a concert E on the alto and other E flat saxophones. The individual key on the neck (it's sometimes located below the detachable neck on the bari) is a mechanism to bring notes A and higher up an octave, whereas a side key brings up notes D through G. The make of the neck can determine the clarity of the sound in some cases (a finer neck definitely makes for better sound execution than a poor quality neck!) as it is the primary amplifier of all sound on the instrument.

So, basically, in terms easier for the typical person to understand - it shapes and amplifies the sound.

| To make higher pitched sounds you place your fingers further away from the scroll, which is also nearer to your chin. These are usually the fingers of the left hand.,, Tom play lower pitched notes you place your finger tips onto the string nearer to the scroll. The scroll is that "curly" end of the violin close to the pegs which can be turned tighter or looser to "tune" the strings to their correct pitch.

First of all Baroque music has completely different instruments, the baroque orchestra was tiny it consisted of a harpsichord, a viola, a violin and a violin cello. If you listen to the hallelujah chorus from handels messiah you can hear the terraced dynamics which were used in that era. If you then listen to a song by Jay z it is pretty easy to tell the difference

No, I'm sorry, I searched the web for ages but I could only find amps for Electric Violins......... Maxydog, Samster, Hampster!

On the G, you put your second finger down and right next to it you put your third finger(ring finger). That is a low C. On the A string, you put your first finger down in it's normal position and then place your second finger right next to it. On the E string, you go up to third position and put your second finger down in it's spot as a B and put your third finger right next to it. Voila!

Someone who plays the violin is called a violinist.

For starters, Joshua Bell is one of the most famous American violinists. Itzhak Perlman is a famous Israeli violinist also. Jascha Heifetz, Fritz Kreisler and Isaac Stern have all died, but they are legends. Pinchas Zukerman is also a famous conductor and violinist. In addition, Hilary Hahn, Schlomo Mintz, Maxim Vengerov, and Gil Shaham are all very well-known violinists. There are many more I can't think of right now, but those are some of the big names in the world of violin playing right now. abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

A stringed instrument creates notes (sounds at certain frequencies) because the string vibrate at a particular frequency. The frequency at which the string vibrates depends on several factors: the mass of the string material; the tension of the string, and the length of the string. The following result in lower frequencies: more mass (the lower strings are thicker and therefore have more mass), less tension (the lower strings are tightened up a little less than the higher strings), and more string length.

The violinist adjusts the tension of each string when tuning the instrument. To play different notes, there are 4 strings (lowest is G, then D, A and highest is E). So by pressing his fingers on the string to shorten the length, a higher frequency note is produced. When the violinist gets to half the distance of the original length, the frequency is doubled, and the note is one octave above the natural string note. At this point, the note letter is the same as the original note, one octave below.

I have two different teachers saying two different things,

but this is what the better one says:

Bounce the bow on the string, making sure you hit all three notes. Sometimes it's a little difficult to get the bottom note, too, so just work at it a little.

Hope this helps!

Violin strings are made of a variety of materials. Originally, strings were made of real animal tendons called gut strings. These are very affected by humidity and lose their tune very easily, but these produce the dark, rich sound that many people desire. These are very difficult to play and are also expensive to the point that only professionals even attempt to use them. Student strings are typically made of a single strand of steel or a few strands of steel wound together. Although to a professional ear the sound is bright and harsh, these strings tend to last forever. Today, many strings are made of synthetic materials such as perlon or nylon. These strings provide the rich tone and also the durability and stability. These strings, although they cost a little more than steel strings are very worth the money for the sound.

Music is a form of art. There is no set time limit for any kind of music; rather, it is for the composer to decide how long a piece of music will be. For some pieces of music, a long duration can leave a person yawning, therefore a shorter duration may be necessary. It all depends on what the composer has in mind, and what the piece of music is trying to "say."

Of course, this is in terms of the 21st century. Centuries ago, the time limit was a bit more strict and precise for most composers, depending on who you were performing for. Generally, it would be rash to compose large pieces for the court, because they often grew tiresome and restless of large, gargantuan pieces.

So, all in all, it all depends on the composer, the audience, and the song. And yet, despite this, music has no boundaries.

The violin is a non-transposing instrument, which means when asked to play, for example, a "C", the violin plays its "C" and the pitch is the same as a "C" on the piano. Other non-transposing instruments include the cello, double bass, piccolo, flute, oboe, bassoon, trombone, tuba, vibraphone, and marimba.

Well, if you're playing in an orchestra playing the violin is a really hard thing to do because you have to think of about forty zillion things all at once...e.g. You have to think what note you are playing on what string, which finger you're playing the note with, what 'position' you are in, where your left elbow is in relation to the violin neck, where your finger-tips are on your bow and how much pressure you should be exerting with your right index finger, what dynamic you're playing at, what angle your bow has to be on the string, whether your right thumb is bent or straight, whether you're right little finger is on the bow, whether you're playing an up bow or a down bow and whether you're lifting and what bow speed you're going at. You have to watch the conductor watch the leader, watch your section leader, watch your desk partner, listen to everyone else, make sure you're in tune, what articulation you are doing...the list goes on and on. The violin is all difficult! However it is a very rewarding and beautiful instrument! The hardest thing to do while playing violin is to concentrate on your breathing instead of your music. i.e. try and breathe according to dynamics or phrases and think about it.

Well I think the strings are as you cannot play the violin without the strings. from the belt man. Also the sound post in the violin is a major player in the sound making process

String sets themselves cost anywhere between $15 and $100, depending on the quality you want. If you don't know how to put them on yourself, you can usually take them to an instrument shop, and they'll put them on for you. This usually can cost an extra $10-50.

I have a Copy of Antonius Stradivarius made in Czecho Slovakia around 1890ish. I got mine from my dad for my sweet 16. He bought it from a very old gentleman that had inherited it to the best of my knowledge. I have seen some listed on e-bay that look to be in good shape. They just need minor things such as bridge, strings, bow repairs, etc. Nothing you can't do yourself. As for how much they cost, I think my dad payed around 300 bucks 15 yrs ago. Happy Hunting!

I am not sure of the date of my copy I bought at an antique store in the south about 10 years ago, but I paid $100.

Czechoslovakia wasn't formed into a state until 1918. Your violin was made after then. If it says "copy of" it was made after 1957 when it was required to say "copy of" to avoid confusion. There are so many they are practically worthless.

A violin works just like every other string instrument, so this applies to all of them. The bow, which is pulled across the strings, is made most often of horsehair. Because the horse hair is coarse, it catches on the strings. Rosin is used to help it catch, as rosin is sticky. The bow pulls across the string, causing it to vibrate. When you place a finger down, you shorten the string, causing the vibration to get smaller and higher. The strings are stretched across a wooden structure called a bridge. It connects the strings to the body, so the vibrations can be amplified within in. There are also sound posts withing the violin, under the bridge, to help transfer the vibrations to the back of the violin, so the sound coats the entirety of the violin. The sound is then released through the F-holes, and also straight from the string. That is about how a violin works. There is a lot more physics involved, but very complicated.

For the tuning pegs in the scroll, you can try pushing them in hard while tuning. If that doesn't work - and you are sure that the hole has not become too large or the peg too small for it - then you'll have to find a way to help make it grip its hole better i.e. to increase the friction of the peg in the hole.

A good way is to pull the peg out and rub the bow's rosin block all around the stem of the peg to leave a coating of rosin dust on the surface where peg's stem fits into its hole. Some people recommend using pencil graphite but, as that is more of a lubricant than rosin dust, I have have never found that it works as well as some rosin.

It's a matter of opinion. They aren't really that different, and how they sound depend entirely on how well they were built and the proficiency of the player. There are way more good violist players though, because for most orchestral pieces, there are two violin sections, so there need to be twice as many violins.

Though most violists get a college degree more commonly than a violin would and differentiating on the proficiency on the player a violinists are usually payed more because violas are more rarely found than a violist.

when was the electric violin invented? who invented the electric violin?

This depends entirely on the maker, size, and rank of the violin. A good violin for an intermediate player, made my Cao, for example, would be around $700. Some smaller and violins for less advanced players might be around $300. A full sized Cao for an advanced player might be anywhere from $1700-3000.
