What is the best kind of violin for experts?
The one that allows them to play the best. There is no best "kind" or brand although most professional violinists would give a leg for a Stradivari.
In The Red Violin why was the violin red?
because, that was the name of the product. (movie,book,etc) if the main subtitle was "the red violin" the author will base it on that name so the violin has to be red.
The answer to this question will ruin the surprise ending of the movie - which is that the maker of the violin in the movie used his dead wife's blood to varnish the instrument, and in doing so the violin took on her life force.
Which is complete rubbish since dried blood turns dark brown when dried.
What kind of powder is used on the violin bow to make it stick?
It's called rosin. Rosin is a resin from trees and, when it's rubbed on the hair of the bow of a stringed instrument, it helps the hair grip the strings better to produce a strong sound. We should not touch the bow's hairs because the grease on our fingers will stick to the rosin. The grease then spoils the bow's hairs from gripping the strings properly - making the bow tend to slip over the strings - which makes the bow much harder to use to play its instrument.
What is the meaning of the Idiom 'have no words'?
When you say something like "I have no words to express what I feel for you," what you are saying is that it is hard to say what you are thinking and feeling. Maybe the emotion is partly one thing and partly another, or the emotion seems bigger than the simple words used to convey it... the words aren't getting across what you really mean. That's usually what people mean when they use that phrase.
I put Windex on my violin to clean it and it looks on the neck there was a bit of color disorientation worked though.

What is a violin solo that will get you first chair in orchestra?
Although the piece you choose and your playing level may get you a good seat, it does not necessarily mean you will be first chair. Being first chair means you have to have good leadership qualities and good responsibility, apart from knowing the music inside out and your playing ability. There is no "sure" violin piece that will guarantee you 1st chair in an orchestra, as there are many factors to determine whether or not you can be first chair, and its more about the player him/herself rather than the piece. If the player is good, it will show regardless of the piece. Furthermore, it also depends on what orchestra you are auditioning into. In an elite-orchestra, even players in the back of the second violin section can play the hardest solo pieces. In a casual community orchestra, you may very well comfortably be first chair.
Nonetheless, here some violin solos/established benchmark pieces that are difficult and will impress the judges if you execute it well(again, playing these certainly doesn't guarantee you first chair):
Anything by Paganini
Ysaye Sonatas
Big 3 Concertos: Tchaikovsky, Brahms, Sibelius
Flashy Concertos: Wieniawski 1, Vieuxtemps 4/5, Paganini 1-3
Sarasate Gypsy pieces: Zigeunerweisen, Carmen Fantasy (Alternate: Waxman Carmen Fantasy)
Saint Saens trio: Havanaise, Concerto no. 3, Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso
Bach Chaconne
Wieniawski trio: Polonaise in D, Polonaise in A, Variations on an Original Theme
Ravel: Tzigane

Where can you find information about an Amadeus violin group?
Amadeus Grace and talent, wild and soft. AMADEUS is a phenomenal ride around the world! In 1999 Amadeus' history begins. In Bucharest, Romania, they were gathered by the well-known Romanian composer Adrian Ordean. Inspired by Bond, he wanted to create a Romanian group to satisfy the need of good, elaborate but commercial music. So, Amadeus, four phenomenally gifted and highly classically trained musicians, became one of the most popular Romanian groups. One of the group's aims is to help demolish some of the stringent barriers between musical styles and, with their virtuoso playing, great looks they became fast regular fixtures on the Romanian Television and radio charts. Although they seem like Bond, Amadeus is very different. Their music (composed of course by Adrian Ordean) is exotic. The elegance from the classic sounds and the Oriental rhythms give to Amadeus' music a very particular grace. The first album - "Continental" (2001) - is a very beautiful journey around the world. But, their new album - "Meridian" (2003) is spectacular, marvelous, it's a trip through fire and ice. Standard classical procedures go out of the window as the four brilliant performers enhance the compositions using both well-honed technical skills and innate flair. Their arrangements are laced with tinges of everything from pop-dance to oriental beats, from the Chinese fragrance to the Arabian 1001 nights, from traditional East European folk songs to the Irish passion - the result is dramatic, compelling, sexy and sparklingly original. Unconstrained by convention, appreciation of their music is ageless, requiring no prior knowledge of classical composers, no dress code and no Prom-style snobbery. And as naturally talented and expertly-trained performers, Amadeus refine their onstage act behind closed doors, secretly becoming a breathtakingly charismatic live unit. Finally ready to reveal themselves to the world, Amadeus just released their first single on the second album, "King of the Fairies" - a fairytale where the four girls are shining.
