Violin Answers

I found a cello on eBay with a free violin & after seeing the price I wasn’t too positive about buying it. I know nothing about pricing for these instruments & I wanted to buy them for a while & these would be my first so I wanted to ask some people who were experienced with them.
Here’s the link

Ok, I have been playing violin for..eh.. about 2 1/2 months. I do enjoy it, I am pretty good at it, but then came the viola. I’ve always loved deeper music, lower notes. I saw the viola & thought it would be perfect for me. Is this too hard to try, or should I do it now before I get really good at violin?

I can get it to when I have just put rosin in the bow & am playing the strings open, but not otherwise…
Thanks

It’s my first time & I have no instructions. I’ve tried rosining the heck out of it, loosening & tightening the strings, more or less pressure on the bow. What am I doing wrong?

If possible please make it free & i would especially like it form howl’s moving castle & spirited away. (I know it is not on ichigo’s so please do not give me that answer)

I’m entering this competition in January, & my sound is all wrong. I am playing Bach Concerto in E Major. It’s supposed to sound smooth & wonderful, but when I play it, my sound comes out rough & crooked. When I listen to professional violinists play, such as Joshua Bell or Sarah Chang, their sound comes smoothly. Is it becuase I am pressing too hard, or using not enough bow? I need advise to make my violin sound strong, powerful, & smooth, instead of making in rough, & hard.

f = 1/2L * sq. root ( T / P )
The frequency of vibrations of a violin string is given by the above eq. where L is the length of the string, T is its tension, & P is linear density.
#1. Find rate of change of f with respect to: a) the length (when T & P are constant), b) the tension (when T & P are constant), c) the linear density (when T & P are density)
” Do I take the first three derivatives of f to find these? First deriv being length, second being tension, third being linear density? ”
#2 The pitch of a note (how high or low the note sounds) is determined by the frequency F. Use the signs of the derivatives in #1 to determine what happens to the pitch of a note:
” I don’t understand this at all ”
a) when the effective length of a string is decreased by placing a finger on the string so a shorter portion of the string vibrates
b) when the tension is increased by turning a tuning peg
c) when the linear density is increased by switching to another string

I do pageants & I was trying to incorporate both my singing talents & my violin talents
Thanks!

I have been playing the violin for 6 years now & I want to purchase a new violin. I already have one now but its more of a beginner violin. Although I have only been playing for 6 years I am a really good player. But because I’ve only been playing for 6 years I don’t think I should spend a drastic amount for the violin. So how much should I invest into a new violin?

wel, i’m totally new to both violin & western music
i’m just learning everything
so i found this violin finger board chart & also have a music sheet (of twinkle twinkle little star)
now i have a doubt…
same note could be played in different strings(which gives off completely different tones), & it just seemed wrong to play the way i want
for example i can play ‘B’ in both G & A string which gives off completely different tones
is there a rule as such stating i should be using certain string
i hope the question is clear
i’m sooo confused!!!!
please help
thanks

Hi!
Im a violinist & have been for a good 14 years ( i started when i was 4 ) I have found the best way to do it is to get a piano part, which are relativlely easy to find, & then learn a violin part by ear, adding harmonies just by improvising, it is much easier than spending hours looking through google!
I hope it helps!

I need it for a solo! FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m told that my violin is a Saxon. Is that a particular style, or perhaps the name of the maker? I can find nothing about a maker by that name. The violin is at least seventy years old & possibly much older. The wooden bow bears the inscription “GFS. GESCH. Thanks.

): So I accidentally pushed my friend who stepped on someones violin. Just part of it. I know the person who owns the violin, they’re a couple grades lower than me, but I don’t know them that well.. One of the strings came off & it got a small crack. It’s a really nice violin. I don’t think the sting is a problem it’s the crack..
I’m really worried & am so guilty I feel sick It was so embarrassing too. I haven’t told my parents (they would KILL me). I don’t know what to do… I just got back from school.. please help
I didn’t have time to talk to the boy, because he asked his music teacher if he could borrow a sting & when she said yes, he left.. He obviously was disappointed & all. I think the violin he had was super nice & expensive.
Question now is, what should I do.. ? Any information is helpful.. Thanks!

yeah, it’s pretty advanced. but i think his concerto in F# minor is even harder.
so… this is the “easier” wieniawski.

Is it? the number of strings or not?

It was played by women all dressed in yellow. It had strings, but looked oddly like a mini vacuum cleaner?
