Violin

tactic

Here are the frequency, in Hertz, of the violin's four strings in order from lowest to highest:

G: 196 Hz

D: 293.66 Hz

A: 440 Hz

E: 659.25 Hz

The G at 196 Hz is the lowest pitch on the violin (though a very rare and unconventional technique call subharmonics allows for a player to go below that). On each string the violin can theoretically attain as high a pitch as the violinist desires, but in practical terms, a pitch two octaves and a fifth above the fundamental (the open string with no fingers laid down). It is possible to go higher on the string, but it is very rarely, if ever, used, and it is extremely difficult to produce good tone at such extremes.

Suspect this was invented by Jo Nesbo in Phantom

violin rosin can go bad if there is hot weather or there is a sudden change of heat,so keep your violin cool or just get a new rosin which can cost $2.00. just don't put a lot on your strings or it will become black. so keep your rosin safe in your violin case. :)

In Europe, the violin can be traced back to the 9th century, with its origin possibly in Asia. The violin emerged in its definitive form between 1520 and 1550 in northern Italy. It symbolizes harmony and stability in life, music, contentment and joy. Believed by some to be one of the most perfect instruments ever invented and hence a symbol of perfection.

The violin is a part of the violin family (a group of instruments). The viola, the cello, and the double bass are also a part of this group. Other instruments that the violin is related to are string instruments such as the guitar, the ukulele, the harp, and the banjo.

I can't find where it says she can or can not play but my guess is no. Sara Gilbert's fingers are off in comparison to the music and Johnny Galecki (Leonard) can play the cello in real life. His fingers ARE in tune with the music. In fact, I believe he is playing in the scene.

The term violinist applies to either men or women who play the violin.

A person who works on both clocks and watches or watches alone (for some reason) is called a Horologist. But I have been told by a French man who has four generations of watch/clockmakers in his family that a clockmaker that only works on clocks is called a Pendulier (can't find the correct spelling)

They are called mutes

When you see someone refer to a "violin outfit," it means they are talking about both the violin and the bow. This sometimes includes the case as well. When purchasing a violin online, you want to make sure you're buying a violin outfit with a case, and not just a violin by itself.

Yes you can. Essentially the only difference between a fiddle and a violin is that the fiddle has a slightly flatter bridge for the heightened ability to hit multiple strings at once.

Rosin is basically tree sap. It is fine for you to digest as this is natural. The only thing that I may add is that if you are allergic to rosin (like me), you may want to throw the food out. It will save you the trouble of allergies.

It means whoever wrote that didn't know what they are talking about. You can have a 13" viola but violins are refered to in fractions and 1/3 size violin is not made.

Depends if it is a negative or positive offset.

Rear spacing (or backspacing) is the distance between the wheel's inboard edge and its mounting pad. It can be measured by using a ruler and a straightedge set across the backside rim of the wheel.

If you have a "positive" offset, the mounting pad is in front (or outboard) of the rim centerline. This situation most commonly occurs on front-wheel-drive applications. To picture this more accurately, think of the convex design of many wheels found on front-drivers; the center of the wheel sticks out further than the edges of the wheel. If there's a "negative" offset, the mounting pad is behind (or inboard of) the rim centerline. This is typical for most standard rear-wheel-drive vehicles and "reversed" rims. Sometimes, this style is referred to as a "deep-dish" wheel.

For example, an 8-inch wide, 3-inch-rear spacing wheel would have a 1-inch negative offset. Conversely, if the same 8-inch wheel had a 5-inch rear spacing, it would then have a 1-inch positive offset. Finally, if the same wheel had a 4-inch rear spacing (which is exactly half its width) then the wheel would have what's known as a "zero offset."

In wheel-measurement designations, the diameter is listed first, followed by the width. A 16x7-inch wheel has a diameter of 16 inches and a width of 7 inches. Diameter is measured where the tire rests, not from lip to lip.

I think that the violin are used in so many cultures because a lot of people used to play the violin. Also a long time ago they used to make the violin out of wood and used in orchestras and choirs.

I just priced one here in MOntreal at around $500

Research has shown that, in general, the best players make the best teachers. Many of the best players will be found in professional orchestras, conservatories, and universities. There are fine players who have made a specialty of teaching. It really helps to know the training of the teacher. In the USA, the vast majority of professional musicians and teachers come from a "baker's dozen" of conservatories and schools of music.

There is another element. The teacher has to have given thought to a systematic pedagogy. Usually one has to study it. Most people have heard of the Suzuki method, it is only as good as the teacher teaching it. There is a certification process. My opinion is that it is a good pedagogy, but that it was developed 50 years ago and we have increased our knowledge considerably since then. I believe the pedagogy taught at the Indiana University (Bloomington) String Academy combines the best elements of the last two centuries of violin pedagogy in a beautifully efficient way that helps the student reach their potential in the shortest amount of time (depending on the work they put into it, of course). It's possible to attend their Summer Retreat for Professional Violinists and Violists, or to study it if you are a student at IU (one of the "baker's dozen"). If you're looking for a teacher, then look for a fine professional player who has studied a pedagogy that works, and see if s/he connects with you or your child. If you want to teach, get the finest training you can get. Try and get experience performing and teaching while you still have a mentor teacher.

Good luck!

I hope that answer's your question. I'm developing a website that I hope helps answer questions too: www.CynthiasViolinStudio.com

If a violin string is tightened, the volume does not change, the note does. If you tighten a string, it gets higher, and if you loosen it, it gets lower.
