Who created the violin?

William Bartuff The earliest known four string violin was created by Andrea Amati in 1555. Although there were violin like instruments before this, it was the Amati violin that we would recognize as a 'violin' today. The Amati family would go on to produce famous violins until the mid 18th century, with the family eventually being eclipsed by Stradivari, who's instruments are considered to be among the greatest made.

What is the value of a Antonius Stradiuarius cremonsis faciebat anno 1721 AS?

It is impossible for even a luthier to value a violin based on a label because many of the cheapest violins tend to paste a Stradivarius or Guarnerius label in their violins in an attempt to increase the value. However, this violin is most likely not a true Stradivarius made by Antonius Stradivarius himself. In fact, you have a better chance of getting struck by lightning than finding a real Stradivarius.

How long does violin rosin last?

In my experience, rosin (for any instrument) has a shorter life than the manufacturers claim, because, long before the rosin goes bad, it gets dropped.

Most of the rest of what is said about rosin is unsupportable. Since rosin makers rarely reveal all the additives and the purity of the colophon (the resin that is extracted from sap, which gives rosin its characteristic stickiness), it is a shot in the dark to make comparisons. In fact, for the manufactures of the high-volume lines, there isn't even a lot of guarantee that the rosin of this month is the same as next month's batch.

Some manufacturers advertise that their rosin is made only of purified colophon, and some of it might just be. Others advertise additives which are supposed to make the rosin cause a "smoother sound", whatever that might mean. Some of these component are surprising, others are downright startling: Beeswax, for instance, melts at temperatures which are compatible with rosin-melting temperatures, and might just form a uniform admixture which is preserved through pouring, cooling, shipping, sitting on shelves, being rubbed on bow hairs, and then on strings. Others, like gold, silver and ground meteor bits (which are never qualified, let alone quantified) are supposed to have nearly magical effects on sound.

It is said that La Scala's pit orchestra used the same block of rosin for decades, and that it only required a single stroke of a bow before a performance for the most perfect sound of Violin through string bass. The recipe for that rosin is, of course, lost to history.

If you are finding that the effect of your rosin is changing within short periods (one or two months), it is a good idea to look to the amount of rosin you apply to your bow, how (or if) you clean your strings between sessions, and whether you are inadvertently contaminating the strings with oils from the skin of your fingers or other body-oils. Only after ensuring that you aren't causing the problem, should you worry about the rosin: are you using too much? Too little? Does your rosin produce a great deal of dust? Maybe one of the "professional" grades which are touted to produce little or no dust would work better for you. (These are sometimes sold as "non-allergenic", because some people become allergic to rosin dust and need a rosin which doesn't produce dust.)

If you loosen your bow and run a _very_ clean comb which has not been used on human or animal hair through the hairs, you can see if you are using too much rosin or too soft rosin for your environment fairly easily: the hairs will not separate easily. If the comb becomes covered with rosin dust, you should be cutting back on application of rosin. If the hairs appear more yellowed in the area near where you hold your bow, you may be oiling them with finger oils.

How do you use the resime for violin?

well, some would call it rosin, but you rub it on your bow so it has a better sound...and actually makes sound

Why does kn sound like n?

Today, the k is silent. We don't say kuh-nock or kuh-nee, but we used to. See below.

Answer

Actually, this is due to historical change. English is a Germanic language, and the word knight is an old Germanic word (not borrowed from German). In the Old English, just like in German, the consonant k was pronounced together with the n. The sound disappeared from pronunciation only during 17th and 18th centuries, but as the spelling had already been set, the old pronunciation remained in the written form.

This is the case with all words beginning with "kn-" in English. Knee, knot, knight, knob etc. all were just few hundreds years ago pronounced with [kn] sound. This pronunciation still prevails in some forms of Scots.

So, indeed, when Shakespeare wrote "knight", he pronounced it more or less like [knIiht] (k-ne-ee-ht).
