What do you do when your 98 Nissan Maxima vibrates and makes weird noises?

My 1996 Nissan Maxima started making weird noises, first it sounded like something was loose. The sounds were coming from the front tire area. I continued to drive the car for while and the noices just got worse. I was driving 50mph and it felt like the tires were going to fall off! I discovered the front L&R Stutts were shot! I had it fixed and now smooth as ever. Not sure if your weird noices are the same as my weird noises.

What approximately would be the value of a 1703 German strativari violin?

Without seeing in in person, the best that can be said is a range from near nothing to $2000 or so. The model is 1703 Stradivari, not made in 1703.

Does a violin have a long wavelength or short wavelenghth?

The frequency range of a violin runs from about 400 Hz - 4,000 Hz. Assuming room temperature and atmospheric pressure, the speed of those sound waves will be 343 m/s. That corresponds to a wavelength range of 343/400 to 343/4,000 = .858 m - .0858 m, or roughly 3 ft. - 3 in. Compared to other musical instruments, that wavelength range is pretty average, albeit skewed slightly towards the shorter wavelength range.

What vibrates when you play the violin?

Does varnish protect the violin?

The varnish is really more superficial; it is simply a shiny coating over the wood of the violin but does not serve as much protection to the instrument itself. Though it may protect the instrument from very light surface scratches and scuffs, it will by no means protect the instrument from more serious damage. Even water can ruin the varnish on the violin--so no, varnish is not very protective.

What is the difference between viola and violin?

It's not just the size (most violas are between 15 and 17 inches long). A viola player is going to read in Alto Clef and a Violinist reads in Treble Clef; viola is also occasionally written in treble clef, in the higher registers (violins never use alto clef). Also a violin and viola have different strings. They both have an A, D, and G string but the viola has a lower C string and the violin has a high E string. The sound of the strings will also sound deeper since the viola is bigger and has a lower register than the violin. The viola bow is slightly shorter and heavier than a full-sized violin bow and a bit sturdier. Playing the instruments is quite different as it takes a good deal more bow pressure and a more dramatic (or aggressive) technique for the viola, in order to get enough sound. Many violists begin as violinists. It is difficult for children to handle a viola and most students cannot manage a full-sized viola until their teen years. And finally, the bigger the viola the more resonance; this is an eternal struggle. How large can the instrument get and still be playable?
