Violin Answers

I am looking at something between $100 & (at the absolute most) $300. I have been looking at perhaps getting an electric violin, because I am currently in an apartment & it would be handy to be able to practice without having to worry about disturbing my neighbours. Again, any suggestions? Anything would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

We’re getting married on 9/9/06 in a small chapel. We are expecting 80 guests. We are Christian. We are not having any soloists sing. We have access to an acoustic guitar player & a piano player & possibly a violin player for our wedding music. What is a good song that would relate to a wedding celebration or asking God to bless the union or something like that that the congregation could sing together?
We don’t mind printing the words out for the guests, but the tune should be easy enough that anyone could sing along & not feel tension to hit very high or very low notes.
Any suggestions?

i have to write in the alto cleff & i have no experience in the alto cleff. & where are the notes on the piano. or guitar.

I’m like gonna take private lessons again so I kinda wanna be ready & I want to kind a lot of songs written by Various Artist, so if you know any, can you tell me a website where you can print out music sheets for free?! Thank you..

Do you know where I could get free Beatles sheet music for the violin on the Internet?

Probably because it doesn’t have any rosin on the bow. Brand new bows have to have a LOT of rosin before they’ll “catch” the strings & produce a sound.

i started violin lessons a few months ago, & we just learnt to put our 1st finger down. she gave my group a two tunes & half a tune to practice, i have learnt them all off by heart & played the half one, its easy. i taught myself the rest of the tunes in the 2nd finger bit that she didn’t teach to us, so now i am reallllyy ahead of my group, & have nothing new to practice over christmas. i think i should teach myself second finger, theres no point in playing the same tunes over & over, becuase i know them all!

My dad recently bought the Perfect Push Up handles & I was wondering how little joint strain they cause. I stopped working out about a year ago after my violin teacher told me how destructive it was to relaxed playing & vibrato. I am perfectly happy not working out & maintaining peak performance on my violin, but I wouldn’t mind picking it up again if it had no affect on my playing. Basically, my question is “how hard are the Perfect Pushups on your wrists?” & “Does it affect vibrato etc.?”

I was wondering if anyone had 1st violin Cannon Rock sheet music

So I put the rosin on the hair of my bow before I play the violin. Well, now my violin has tons of white rosin stuck to it’s strings & body, how do I get it off, & how do I prevent it from happening?

you know what i mean, you play violin but it takes more to be recognized as a violinist.
to take pride of playing the violin & all.

How do I know if this violin is a replica or the real deal? The previous owner purchased it in th 1920’s & it was used before then. The Label on the inside of the violin reads “Nicolaus Amatus fecit in Cremona 1654 made in Czechoslovakia” This violin is in mint condition & it has the bow & case with it.I was wondering how much a replica & the real 1654 violin would be worth.

I was learning the guitar today, i’m not pro or anything, but i’m getting there.I had this violin in my closet for like 3-4 years. My cousin’s uncle had tuned it.

I play violin with Zyex strings & I enjoy the powerful tone that I get out of them. I was wondering for next time whether to get heavier or lighter strings. I don’t necessarily want a recommendation, but I would like to know what the result in sound & playability is between the different gauges.
