Violin Answers

Help! I was cleaning my violin, & i removes the pegs without labeling them…stupid, i know. Now i don’t know which peg goes in which hole. What do I do? Can i just put them back without worrying, or do I need a professional?

I just started playing the violin & I don’t really know what’s what.
So I bought a violin online & the pegs aren’t fully pushed in to the other side, & it slips. Is it supposed to be fully pushed in? And does it slip because it’s not fully in? I get really frustrated when it’s out of tune. If possible, please also add some pictures of how the peg box is supposed to look like.

Just this week I bought a Gliga III violin, I’ve never played violin before & though my experience with a variety of other instruments would have left me with enough intuition to teach myself, turns out i was pretty wrong. I can’t get a single sound out of it.
I have no idea how to set it up – though the bridge is already on, so I don’t need to worry about that atleast – & have a few questions about setting it up
-How taut / tight should the strings be? I will tune them to a piano, I just don’t know how tight I should get them or how tight I can safely get them.
-How do I use the tuning mechanisms on a violin? It has large ivory tuning pegs like a guitar, & smaller ones on the piece below the bridge that I cannot really feel doing anything when I turn them.
-How tight should my bow be?
With those questions aside, if it isn’t one of those factors that is causing me to be unable to get a single sound out of my violin then I would love to know what is.
Many thanks in advance, all help is greatly appreciated.

(heads up, im not a very good player)
I have read advice on how to fix a fallen bridge, & I would rather do this myself rather than have to bring it to someone to get it fixed.
However, the reason it broke was because I tried tightening the pegs because my strings were flat & the pressure made the bridge fall off. I wonder why the strings were so tight & yet still slightly flat?
And at the top where the strings go round the pegs they are not exactly…how do I put this…on each string, when it curls around the peg, each curl isnt next to eachother…the string sometimes curls on top of itself..if you get what im trying to say??? lol
anyway, im useless at violin but i really need to get this fixed before my lesson

I own a 3/4 1969 copy of an Antonio Stradivarius, made by Kiso Suzuki co. It has a wooden finger board & has an olive tone to it, with a fade to a dark wash in the middle. It has heart shaped wooden pegs with little cream nubs at the end.

So I’m trying to build my dream guitar but does this all sound like too much to fit into one guitar (I understand that it would probably be cheaper to eliminate national debt than build this guitar)
Violin Shaped Hollow Body
Violin shaped headstock, with big bass pegs (for better emulation)
Classical sized neck, scalloped frets, (neck completely black)
Not quite sure about pickups yet, will take a lot of time to decide
No pickguard
Wooden block in center (to reduce feedback typically found in semihollows)
12 string
do I dare ask for more?

i have done everything the instructions said with the pegs & the fine tuner but no matter what i do the electronic tuner still says its not right,please help

I have a Ibanez AEL10E Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar & i’m new at playing the guitar i been playing the violin for two yrs so it can help with the guitar i got it 4 x-mas my question is that what strings to i need when they pop or something (how can i tell iwhen i have to changge them)? What are capos are they like mutes ?(what are thye use for & if i use one what would be a good one for it?)and Cleaners & Polish ?And straps & picks? And what are peg winder?

1.) F(t) = t^3 – 9t^2 + 15t + 10
(a.)find the velocity at time t
(b.)the velocity after 3s
(c.)when is the particle at rest?
(d.)when is the particle moving in the positive direction?
(e.)find the total distance traveled during the first 8s.
2.) If a ball is given a push so that it has an initial velocity of 5m/s down a certain inclined plane, then the distance it has rolled after t seconds is s=5t+3t^2. (a.)Find the velocity after 2s. (b.)how long does it take for the velocity to reach 35m/s?
3) A stone is dropped into a lake, creating a circular ripple that travels outward at a speed of 60cm/s. find the rate at which the area within the circle is increasing after 1s, 3s, & 53. what can you conclude?
5.)The frequency of vibrations of a vibrating violin string is given by f = [1/(2L)][(T/d)^1/2], where L is the length, T is its tension, & d is the linear density.
(a) find the rate of change of the frequency with respect to
i. length (when T & d are constant)
ii.tension (when L & d are constant)
iii. linear density(when L & T are constant)
(b)The pitch of a note (how high or low the note sounds) is determined by the frequency f. (the higher the frequency, the higher the pitch).
Use the signs of the derivatives in part (a) to determine what happens to the pitch of a note (i)when the effective length of the string is decreased by placing a finger on the string so a shorter portion of the string vibrates. (ii)when the tension is increased by turning the tuning peg, (iii) when the linear density is increased by switching to another string.
6) the cost function for a certain commodity is
C(x) = 84 + 0.16x – 0.0006x^2 + 0.000003x^3 (a.)find & interpret C’(100), (b.)Compare C’(100) with the cost of producing the 101st item.

As in bow strings violin & viola?
Oh & why?
Please give websites I can use to find answers to these questions.
I really need this.
What items would you use to clean your violin, & how would they be used?
How often should you clean rosin from your instrument? Why?
When should peg paste be used?
When should you use graphite be used & where? What benefit does using graphite have?
When should oil be used & how often?
What is the purpose of using a cleaner or oil? What problems can be created if you use polish or oil too much?
PLEASE. I REALLY NEED THIS.

I have a Franz Werner Virtuoso violin, that I’ve had for about 6 months now. On Thursday, I noticed that the E string peg was slipping a bit, but I tuned it, & it was fine. But, by Friday, it was slipping constantly. It got to the point at which I could tune it, then start the bow at the frog, & by the time it reached the tip, it would be completely out of tune.
I’ve tried peg drops, & they’re not helping much. This has happened before, but the person that usually knows how to deal with it is currently out of town.
Unfortunately, I have rehearsals beginning Monday, that I must be present at, & must play at, otherwise, I’ll be kicked from the show.
Any ideas??

when i twist the pegs, these two strings jus go back…they do not twist, i dont undertsand why & im scared i will snap them if i twist even harder! help me.

ok well…N.Y.S.S.M.A. is coming up (a thing where u play an instrument for a judge & they grade you) & i need to start practicing my violin….BUT the only problem is that i don`t know how to really tune it & that i am afraid that if i twist the peg too much it will snap. wat do i do?

The bridge of my violin keeps pinging off can i stick it to my violin to stop it from doing this. Also how do you stop the pegs from sliding backl around when you are tunning it its making it nearly impossible to play. It is brand new but the shop has closed down now so i cant take it back.
Thankyou

My violin has 4 fine tuners. Its this one exactly.http://www.theyellowtags.com/cecilio-cvn…
I want to know if I can take out 3 fine tuners. My teacher just uses the pegs to tune & lets me use the fine tuners but he taught me to just use the pegs. I don’t want to get another violin.
I was supposed to get a Concert Violin but with money saved I couldn’t & it did seemed hand carved. This is my 3rd violin. I’m an Intermediate violin. I practice everyday for an hour. So should I take out the fine tuners or keep them? If I take them out, is this violin capable of being played still?

This is what it has
Black Hardwood Pegs, chinrest, fingerboard & tailpiece
Comes complete with Wooden Bow, Padded Gig Bag, Rosin, EarPhone, 9V Battery & Amplifier Cable
I plugged it to a good quality amplifier & when I pluck the strings it makes a clear rich sound… when I use the bow.. no sound at all!!
What should I do?

How do I fix it or tighten it? Please don’t tell me I need to go get it repaired! Some brown stuff from like one of the peg thingys under the neckrest came off, but only a little. Do I need to go get it repaired or something? Or can I simpily fix it?
