Without you we never would have been able to start. With ALL MY HEART, and great feelings that words cannot explain.....Thank You. Please don't ever stop.

[ahartakpower]

is your string a tight enough?..i meant..mines won't play because the string

[wickedmadness1022]

Thanks!!!!!!!! i started to learn the violin but then i found my violin a few months later so i started to look for lessons on you tube thanks again! : )

[FlyingBugels]

I don't know if you can really help with this, but I can't seem to find a comfortable place for my violin to be.. With the shoulder rest, it seems too high and hurts my jaw bone, and without it, it's kind of low enough, but it hurts my collarbone waaay too much... Any advice?

[Zclipse]

@FlyingBugels Try adjusting the shoulder rest as low as it will go. If that doesn't work, you can try taking the chinrest off (not to be confused with shoulder rest) of your violin and see if that feels better. I played for a while with no chinrest and it was much more comfortable for me. You can also try leaving the chinrest on and take the shoulder rest off. Maybe you would be more comfortable with a sponge or pad under your violin instead of a shoulder rest.

[Zclipse]

Also try different brands of chinrests and shoulder rests. There are lots of options out there and you may just need to experiment until you find which ones work best for you.

[xxmotochick533xx]

What do you recommend for a a inexpensive beginner violin for an adult?

[Zclipse]

@xxmotochick533xx First of all, let me warn you to stay away from the cheap 'new' violins on eBay, or ANY violin under $100 that's new. They are very difficult (if not impossible) to play. Look for a good used violin with a well known brand name such as Scherl & Roth, Knilling, Glaesel, etc. Stay away from cheap chinese violins. You can also get a new violin online from Southwest Strings or Shar. Their cheaper ones are Chinese made, but they are good quality and set up well.

[xxmotochick533xx]

@Zclipse Thank you so much. I cant wait to find one and watch your videos:)



[RESIFan2]

thanks i just got a violin yesterday id saved up for a violin byt couldent afford lessons im only 14 so thanks

[TheComplexTM]

Hi this is my first day playing violin... Ive been searching around everywhere for some help on how to produce any kind of good sound from my stroking. It is very airy and I cant find a solution anywhere. I was wondering if you have any suggestions? Thank you. ---Ive applied some rosin to my bow and my technique seems good.

[Zclipse]

@TheComplexTM Well that's pretty common for your first day playing! Just make sure you use little bow strokes in the middle of the bow, and make sure your bow comes to a complete stop on each stroke. If the sound is airy, than it could be that you are playing too close to the fingerboard, make sure your bow stays right in the middle between the bridge and fingerboard. You also may not be applying enough pressure. Working on the bow stops will help with that. Good luck!

[TheComplexTM]

@Zclipse thank you for the quick response!

[L4sleeko]

Great . . . now I'm hungry!

?;^o

[AngelaCheerOfGaia]

Thank you so much @_@ This is better then paying for lessons! 

[TheInuLogical]
