Winchester made a total of 720,609 rifles & carbines between 1873 and 1923. The best source of a breakdown of rifles and carbines would be the Buffalo Bill Winchester Museum in Cody, Wyoming, which houses the Winchester factory collection of firearms and the historical records of Winchester Repeating Arms Co. TexasCharley Winchester '73s were manufactured for 50 years, from 1873 until 1923. A total of 720,609 rifles and carbines were manufactured. The 32" barrel is the rifle barrel. The best source of a breakdown of rifles vs carbines would be the Buffalo Bill Winchester museum in Cody, Wyoming, which houses the complete Winchester factory collection and Winchester's historical records. TexasCharley -- VERY RARE -- Actually, the standard rifle barrel was 24" long. Muskets were 30" long. A 32" barrel would have been a special order, and barrels that long are exceptionally rare. The gun should also have other special order features, sights almost certainly. One one of every 600 rifles produced had a barrel longer than standard, and 26" or 28" was by far the most popular special order length. I would bet no more than a couple hundred on the outside were ever produced with a 32" barrel. That said, any such speciment encountered MUST be checked for authenticity. A factory letter is a MUST, if the information is available. Also, a hands-on evaluation by someone very familiar with that model (knowing how far apart the magazine bracket dovetails should be) is another must. If you have such a rifle, in any kind of decent condition, I would insure for $5000 minimum. sales@countrygunsmith.net

:) The first violin was played by a man name reyno dankwa and he was 14 years old and he made the violin aswell out of wood and string :)

It would have been around 1585 when the violin pattern started to really develop. After that, it became kind of standardized. And it really took off during the Baroque era. The Baroque era started somewhere around 1600. In the very last part of the 1500's, the violin started to emerge. At the time, the instrument most like it was the viol but the violin was still very different. (Currently, the viol is now what one would call the Viola de Gamba.) Instruments in the viol family were more sleek, and plaintive and soft. Then somebody invented an instrument that became more brilliant, with a brighter sound. No one actually knows who invented the first violin, but there were a few people experimenting with patterns to make it. Then, at the beginning of the Baroque era, two things happened: opera and the violin family took off. Through the Baroque era, they become more and more and more popular. This was called the Golden Period for violin making. It was Stradivari's time, and with that, high quality violins were being sold, so composers wrote a lot of music for the violin. Bach, Handel, Corelli, and so many Baroque composers that we don't even know about wrote music for the violin. Most people have never heard of so many composers that have awesome classical music. One of the first great violin makers was Amati. I actually had a teacher who owned an Amati.

Part can cost differently based on the quality, and what type of part. As a musician, I say if you need to find that out, or buy something, you should visit a music store and view the variety of parts :)

Thomas Jefferson played the violin rather well and likely played the 'cello as well.

Hmm, I don't understand how this is a mental health related issue.

Someone who plays a string instrument.

The rebab (the origin of the violin) was invented most likely in what used to be Persia, but it was and is sometimes used in India.

The Nippon violins made before 1921 by the Suzuki Company tend to have a bright, clear, focused tone with not a lot of "bottom". They are factory violins but were made in different grades, so I suppose some of the higher grades would have a more complex sound.

The role of a violin in a string quartet is the mostly the leader/harmony of the group.

If you're talking about vibrato....you have to relax your grip a lot on the neck of the violin and rely on your chin to hold the instrument up. When your grip is loosened, just move your hand back and forth, away from and towards your face. It will sound like the pitch of the note is constantly going sharp and flat. This makes longer notes have more style and sound better withing a piece or even a scale.

Depends on the song. The violin can create moods like Passion, Heartache, Happiness, Excitement, amongst others.

It doesn't have to be out of tune if that's what you mean! But, maybe you should just check the tuning before you start practicing. The strings don't usually go out of tune that quickly unless they are new but if you have a tuning device, the letter names of the notes should be (from lowest to highest): G, D, A and E. If you don't know how to tune a violin maybe ask someone who does know, maybe a violin teacher, to do it for you just in case one of the strings snaps while tuning.

If you are talking about a damp-it, just take the damp-it and submerse it in a cup of water for about 5 minutes. Then take the damp-it out, dry it off lightly with a towel, and put the damp-it in the bottom circular part of the f-hole. Just make sure to wet your humidifier often.

YEW BOWS COST ABOUT 300 RMB. == ==

the word violin came from the word vitula, meaning stringed instrument

The cello sounds similar to the other members of the violin family: that is, the violin, viola, and double bass. It has a lower tone than the violin and viola and a higher tone than the double bass, but still sounds similar. It is especially similar to the double bass because they are both bass instruments.

It is in the Strings family.

Grade 4

Yes there is. It is mostly piano music, and violin part is only in small part of the actual song. But it is quit clear, once you know, where it begins and ends (:
