Violin

Pernambuco from Brazil, or Tabebuia.

400 meters or 440 yards depending on the venue.

It depends on how many octaves you want. I'm assuming 3. You can go: 2nd finger on G string, 4th finger or open D, 2nd finger on D string, 1st finger on A string, (shift into 3rd position) 1st finger on D, 3rd on F, 2nd finger on Bb on E string, (shift into 6th position) 1st finger on D, 3rd on F, stretch 4th for Bb [You can do it!! :)]. Coming down, 4th on Bb, 3rd on F, 1 on D, then shift back down the same way you came up or simply go straight into 1st position with 4 on Bb. You can also go: 1 on Bb on G string, 3 on D, 1 on F, 1on Bb and follow this pattern going up and down. Ask your violin or music teacher for more help :)

Rosin has been traditionally made of pine pitch although there are other synthetics used now.

Usually, it is the year (Anno #) it was made.

Yes you most likely do...I learned the vibrato around level 2 and the music sounds so much better with it.

That is just another stereotype. Although it is true that there is an abundance of incredible Japanese piano and violin players, and there are many Japanese players and teachers in the music world, there are also many amazing musicians from all other corners of the world. You can't truly judge whether Japanese violin instructors are the best at teaching children how to play the violin, because one Japanese instructor may be better than another one from a different culture, but at the same time there could be someone from somewhere else better than that Japanese instructor. There are good and bad teachers from every culture, so try to pick your teacher by reputation (and price, if that is a priority for you), not by ethnicity.

As old as any object can get! Violins first appeared in the early 1500's, and the earliest surviving examples date from the Elizabethan period. But as to how old they can BECOME, this entirely depends upon how well they are looked after and preserved. There is no reason why the earliest surviving ones should not continue in existence for many centuries more if looked after properly- and that applies to all violins made since then!

Have been searching for this for some time. Then came across this on google / youtube...

The piece in question is apparently called "Cavatina" by Howard Brockway Opus 13

It is currently on youtube.

Violins generally exhibit elastic demand, as they are considered luxury items rather than necessities. Changes in price can significantly affect the quantity demanded; for instance, if prices rise, many consumers may choose to forgo purchasing a violin or opt for a less expensive alternative. However, the demand can be somewhat inelastic for professional musicians who require specific high-quality instruments, as their purchasing decisions are less sensitive to price changes. Overall, the elasticity of demand for violins can vary based on the target market and the type of violin.

The nouns in the sentence "Her violin and easel were missing" are "violin" and "easel." Both are objects that can be seen and identified, making them concrete nouns. The sentence indicates that these items are absent or lost.

The violin originated in 16th-century Italy, evolving from earlier string instruments like the viola da gamba and the fiddle. Its design was refined by craftsmen such as Andrea Amati, who is credited with creating the first modern violin. The instrument's shape, construction techniques, and use of gut strings contributed to its unique sound and expressive capabilities. Over the centuries, the violin continued to be perfected by other notable makers, including Stradivari and Guarneri, leading to its prominent role in orchestras and chamber music today.

The artist you're referring to is Franz Liszt. He was a Hungarian composer and virtuoso pianist who was inspired by the incredible violin performances of Niccolò Paganini. Liszt's innovative techniques and showmanship at the piano helped elevate the instrument's status in the world of classical music. His contributions have made a lasting impact on piano performance and composition.

The value of a 1928 Mendini violin can vary significantly based on its condition, provenance, and any modifications made over the years. Generally, Mendini violins, which are often considered entry-level instruments, may range from a few hundred to a couple of thousand dollars. However, if the specific violin has unique attributes or historical significance, it could fetch a higher price. For an accurate valuation, it’s advisable to consult a professional appraiser or a reputable music store.

There are some complex physics behind string vibrations. Essentially, the looser the string, the less nodes, or points where the sound waves go from crest to trough. This of course affects the frequency, or rate at which the string vibrates. So when the string is tightened, more nodes are created, and the frequency increases, increasing the pitch.

Approximately 100,000 to 150,000 violins are sold annually in the United States. This figure includes sales of both student and professional-grade instruments. The market fluctuates based on factors like demand for music education and trends in orchestral performances. Additionally, online sales and local music shops contribute to these numbers.

To make a recycled violin, you'll need materials such as old wood from furniture or pallets for the body, metal parts from discarded instruments for the strings and fittings, and other reclaimed materials like plastic or cardboard for the bridge and sound post. Additionally, tools like saws, glue, and varnish are essential for assembly and finishing. Creative repurposing of these materials not only reduces waste but also adds unique character to the instrument.

The value of a Merson violin can vary widely based on factors such as its age, condition, and provenance. Generally, Merson violins, crafted by the French luthier Joseph Merson in the early 20th century, can range from a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars. For a precise valuation, it's best to consult an expert appraiser or a reputable violin dealer.

In the song "Thug Le" from the movie "Ladies vs Ricky Bahl," the violin notes primarily follow the melody line, which can be transcribed from the song's vocal parts. While I can't provide the exact notes, the main theme often revolves around a catchy, rhythmic pattern that can be adapted for violin. You might want to look for sheet music or tutorials specific to the piece for precise notation.
