Violin

You can, but it may not be the most comfortable for you, or it may not fit in a 3/4 case.

== The violin is made up of many parts, we will start from the scroll and end and work down

1. The Scroll - this is the head or the curled part and the top of the instrument 2. The peg box and pegs - this is where the pegs enter the instrument - the pegs are used to tune the strings which are attached to them.

3. The neck -this is normally made from maple

3a. The Fingerboard - this is normally made from Ebony and sits on top of the maple neck. 4. The Back - this is made from either one or two pieces of figured wood, normally maple 5. The Ribs - made from the same wood as the back this curls around the violin and define the depth of the instrument 6. The Belly - Normally made from finely grained spruce 7. The bridge - holds the strings above the fingerboard and belly 8. The F Holes - The F shaped cut outs in the belly 9. The sound post - this is inside the violin and is a small post that connects the back to the belly. Also know as "the soul" of the violin

10. The Tail piece - holds the strings from the chin end of the fiddle

11. The Endpin - the button at the chin end that the tail piece is connected to

12. The chinrest - where the chin sits while playing

13. The purfling - these are the black lines that go around the edges of the

instrument, they are made by inserting strips of wood (ebony/rosewood etc) into gouged out lines.

14. The C Bouts - the curved in parts on the sides of the violin

15. Fine Tuners - normally found on starter instruments, these are used for small tuning adjustments.

A long bow is basically one stick of wood (ash, yew, or witch hazel during the hundred year war).

If you look into it's technical parts and divided it visually without physically taking it apart, then it would consist of a grip, a main piece (called a riser in modern terms), two limbs on either side, and (once ready to use) a string.

Hope that answered your question. Look back into the Hundred Year War for England and see their longbow usage for more information.

The note A-natural sounds different on a tuning fork, a violin, and a flute because of the relative amplitudes of harmonics.

The spelling "violins" is correct for the plural form of violin (a stringed musical instrument played with a bow).

The bridge is the structure that rests on the main body of the instrument and holds the strings up; it is crescent-shaped at the top (traditional fiddlers might make theirs flatter?) and stands on two legs. Playing the bow close to the bridge gets a thinner, scratchier sound (mostly treble, little bass, as it were). The Italian term for this is "sul ponticello". Hope this helps!

Generally, student violins are not bought based upon the brand, but by the maker of the violin. Any violin that one buys that is less than roughly 250 USD is not going to be of very good quality. If you buy a violin online, you might have to get the bridge completely readjusted (just for your information). It would be much better to go to a music store or a violin shop and see if you can get a nice violin for a reasonable price instead of buying a violin online.

in the very late Renaissance. It would have been around the mid 1500's when the violin pattern started to really develop. After that, it became kind of standardized. And it really took off during the Baroque era. The Baroque era started somewhere around 1600. In the very last part of the 1500's, the violin started to emerge. At the time, the instrument most like it was the viol but the violin was still very different. (Currently, the viol is now what one would call the Viola de Gamba.) Instruments in the viol family were more sleek, and plaintive and soft. Then somebody invented an instrument that became more brilliant, with a brighter sound. No one actually knows who invented the first violin, but Andreas Amati is considered by most authorities to be the maker who invented the violin as we know it today. Then, at the beginning of the Baroque era, two things happened: opera and the violin family took off. Through the Baroque era, they become more and more and more popular. This was called the Golden Period for violin making. It was Stradivari's time, and with that, high quality violins were being sold, so composers wrote a lot of music for the violin. Bach, Handel, Corelli, and so many Baroque composers that we don't even know about wrote music for the violin. Most people have never heard of so many composers that have awesome classical music. One of the first great violin makers was Amati. I actually had a teacher who owned an Amati.Well, the actual body shape of the violin is the same. In the Renaissance, there were a few that were shaped minimally different, but basically, it is the same instrument from the Baroque era on. And for instance, most of the Stradivari instruments, the only difference is that most of them had their necks broken off and they put a longer, skinnier neck on, so it was possible to play higher on the soundboard, and to make it easier to shift. As well, they added a chin rest. These two things are really the only differences other than the strings and the bow. The strings and the bow were the only things that changed significantly. The strings eventually went from being gut strings in the Baroque era to having metal windings added around the gut, and that happened. Eventually, the high E string became completely metal. The bow actually changed quite dramatically. Originally, it actually bowed the other way; it was convex as opposed to the current concave bow. By the time you get to Mozart's age, the classical era, and then a new kind of bow came in style, which looks more like a modern bow. Currently, we call it a transitional bow. Right at the very end of the Classical era, and the beginning of the Romantic era, the bow became more modern.

The violin mute has been in existence almost as long as the Violin itself has been. The earliest recorded use of the mute in a composition is in Lully's Armide, which is dated at 1686. The mute did not gain widespread use until the late classical and early Romantic period, roughly 1800.

The violin was made between the years 1875-1899.

I wish I knew, but I don't. No offense to anybody that thinks so.

These were produced in the early 1900's. They were sold door to door and it was a combination of something that could be plucked like an ukulele, or bowed like a violin. It was set up with a number system that made it easy to play.

Value is minimal, you can purchase them on eBay for anywhere from $20 to $100 depending on condition.

One way is arco meaning to play with the hair of the bow, another way is double stopping meaning playing two strings at once making a combination of a unique sound.

Paganini never made violins or bows, his name was just used to market cheap commercial products.

My grandfather Samuel Irwin Russell in 1912, for the patients who had to sleep outdoors for tuberculosis.. later he started Northern Electric Company in Chicago, george crowley worked for Northern and helped take the blanket to where it is today automatic modernize it

There no collecters, there are owners. one should be so lucky as to own just one. Read the history of Stradivarius and you will understand. It's not as simple as stated above! Antonio Stradivari's instruments became famous during his lifetime, as have many other "modern" violins have become famous in their maker's lifetime. Because of this, Stradivari's instruments were coveted by many people, especially professional violinists and the wealthy who appreciated them. Some of the wealthiest collectors even owned several fine examples by the same maker at the same time. It is important to know that not all of the old master's instruments have been 'accounted for'. Some were destroyed through various accidents, wars, or some other calamity. Some have even been stolen and never seen since: but a few have been recovered in a short time and even fewer - after several decades of invisibility. Also, if you ever hear someone say they have a Stradivarius, it's probably a less than equal copy that says "copy of Stradivarius" inside the body.

Harwood violins are known in a small group of professionals and luthiers for their nice tone. I am myself an expert on these instruments and I own one myself in my shop. These instruments were made in Germany around the turn of the century in a smaller workshop that is pretty well unknown. During this time, Germany was known for extremely cheap, factory-made violins that are worth very close to nothing. This also goes into effect as Ernst Heinrich Roth violins are some of the best violins for performing purposes, but cannot get more than 5000-6000 dollars on the market. I would value my Harwood violin, which was constructed in 1905 and in like new condition, for no more than 1000 dollars on the market. Hope this helps.

Dont know if this helps.. but I got one that written 105 on the right bottom in 1984/85

Student violins made in Germany from the 1950's thru the 1980's.

The use of a violin is to make music out of it for because it is a instrument and therefore it's more of a hobby than an everyday task. It's main purpose, like other instruments is entertain the listeners who hear it's beautiful voice, but of course a violin is no good if it doesn't have a being to play it.

I have a piena student model made in Czechoslovakia. I had it set up etc about 10 years ago and was told it was a very nice violin and probably worthnabout £800 to £1000 so probably a bit more than that now..

Fiddle.
