Violin Tuning : Violin Tuning: E String

[Mahomie4Life4Ever]

3 years ago, the first day i got my violin and brought it home, i stupidly tried to tune it and popped off the G string. Now i play double bass.

[DarkNightmaress]

God damn I haven't played my violin in awhile and my E string peg is stuck and wont go any higher T.T the E is so low it's killing me, too low for the fine tuners

[rasykchupo]

Please help me, I buy a violin and I want to learn how I play it, in reality I teach myself, And It's going good, but how if I could have the same sound of Violins 1 et 2 of an orchestra (Symphony) How Can I get this sound please, help me,

[TheDardanius]

@rasykchupo the violins 1 and 2 exist of a group of violins, which sounds fuller than only one violin. So...

[slatture]

Read complete instructions for tuning your violin using harmonics on my YouTube page.

[truthwillbetoldjig]

fuck my string is so tight as i'm getting to the E

[DancerCDS9011]

If you are afraid to break the string, just use the fine tuners unless it's way out of tune. Like really bad. (PS It is in tune.)

[jordanrobbo989]

sorry but this is total crap

you are just playing you e string and its not in tune i dont know wether its your audio or what but thats not in tune and those are not tuning exercises BECUASE YOU ARE NOT TUNNING YOUR VIOLIN YOUR JUST PLAYING IT

[unfoldingart]

Maybe it's the quality of the recording, but her E is incredibly off. If you really want to learn how to tune, buy a tuner and tune the A string to your correct pitch. Then play a double stop with open A and E and tune accordingly.

[unfoldingart]

@unfoldingart Eventually your ear will learn what an A should sound like. And then tuning from there is fairly easy. Double stop A+E, A+D, D+G. It takes a while for your ear to adjust, though.

50,000 people just tuned to a really flat E :(

[Xsilord]

I tuned my strings to this lady, since I lost my tuner (haven't even picked up my violin for almost 2 years). When I did this string, the wooden thing that the strings rest on just before the part where the fine tuners are, well, it literally flew off my violin with a huge clap noise... And now I don't want to tune it to hers cause it creaks and sounds like the string will snap whenever I get close to her tuning. Can anyone tell me if anything's wrong with my violin? It wasn't cheap either...

[Sabeen1987]

@Xsilord thats wooden thing is called the bridge sweetheart

[ungusfungus]

@Xsilord What I'd do, is get a pitch pipe and tune it with that. You can search a video where they tune E with a pitch pipe, that way you hear the correct tone and you go for it. Now, the bridge is that wood thing you said. You have to be sure it is placed correctly and that its not bent sideways, it has to be straight. That's pretty much the best I can do for you, hope you get it right.

[124picklegiggles]

Forget about the "nice ringing sound" for a second. People, people! Listen! Don't go to youtube to tune you instrument, buy a tuner! They can range from $5 to $100! You can go to a music store to get one or look on ebay etc. It would be even better to get a REAL teacher, this lady is not effective so find something better!!!

[Kaydr3n]

Tuning is easy guys just turn it they're not gonna pop off just dont hit the pegs (: i just tuned mine (:

[lovelovemeee]

i still cant get the nice... eeeeeeeeee sound to it mines more like muuurrrrr :/

[124picklegiggles]

@lovelovemeee you might want to change your strings every 3-6 months or all of your strings are out of tune sooo get a tuner.

[Ju1ceem4n]

so its E A D G?

[MsSunlight99]

thanks but it dont show me how to do it

[adingoatemygirl]

nice harmonic ringing sound was about the max info for tuning the rest were tips. nice but i still haven't tuned my E STRING BABES!!

[tabeakoch]

me too :D

[GlaciatedHeart]

Omg i have never been so scared in my life.

I was shaking and wincing while tuning my violin strings

i was scared it was going to pop in my face so i held it away from me with my eyes closed

ahaha

but i finally got it yay

now for my violin to rest for a couple days and get used to the pressure.

:D

[somysunny]

Haha!! That's what happened to my teacher. She was tuning her violin, but she wasnt that experienced yet, and so the sting popped off and cut her eye. Ouch!!

[LEEISHWANA]

i need help tuning my e string on my violin it is slightly flat. should I move the fine tuners to left or right. i have know clue. help!

[Gilliebeany]

turn it, play it. If it gets flatter you went the wrong way. If it gets sharper, you went the right way. Or buy a tuner, if you are tone deaf.

[EnvyPerse]

normally, to tighten it you turn it clockwise. to loosen it, you turn it counterclockwise...

[heygirl1211]

The important thing is the sound of the notes... tuning isn't rocket science. If you don't know how to change the sound by twisting the tuners... get lessons! seriously!

[delappen]

why she talks to muc hbeginners just need the tune

[FallenSkorm]

What the fuck thats a girl ?

[SMart7751]

Grow up

[VRJaguarandi]

U Are Gay

[FallenSkorm]

Nah

[ismaelcasillasagosto]

please show another way to tune

rather than by ear..for instance with

some other method..too much

talking in this video and yoiu have not say ANYTHING

[Gilliebeany]

You know, if you can't tune by ear, then there's these things called tuners. You don't need a video to go out and buy one. If you cannot tune by ear, that's your other option. Learn to tune by ear though, and life will be easier on you.

[jacahoodies]

Ive tighten the black thing but it loosens up.. what the heck does that mean?? T^T

[alecadvent]

push it into the hole while tightening it.

[Gilliebeany]

the weather can affect your instrument, as it is made out of wood. Just like anything else, the hot and cold and the humidity will swell or shrink the wood minute amounts, and sometimes pegs come loose, or get way way too tight. I happen to have had them be too tight, but sometimes that's a good thing as it nearly never goes out of tune However, pushing it in while turning is one way, or go to a store where they sell violins or offer lessons, they will probs tune for free

[ROFLLMFAOLOLLMAO]

that's why I strongly DISLIKE expertvillage they are all words and no show and they get horrible people

[tacostastesbad]

the string rings whether it is in tune or not. o_o

and your E seems a but out of tune anyways...

[ilovemyviolin16]

[CharleeManigat]

[Mymadness88]

i'm afraid to break the strings =(

[RandomGurgitate]

@Mymadness88

My E string just broke now.. Sniff sniff :'(

[StradAmatiViolin]

@Mymadness88 LMFAO! xD I used to be REALLY afraid to break the strings while tuning now it doesn't bother me. :D

[HumbaoLove]

@Mymadness88 it hurts i got wacked in the face by one

[adrianisthemaster]

@HumbaoLove i got hit in the face by the e string right now lol

[HumbaoLove]

@HumbaoLove haha everyone seems to get wacked by the E string lol

[Crazydog7410]

@Mymadness88 use the fine tuners on the bottom of your violin. they won't break then

[Karl88ful]

@Mymadness88 dont. In some songs you play so hard they might break anyway. You can play had as you possibly can and they shouldnt break for a long time

[Ensw52]

Thank you for your tuning videos! They helped tremendously.

[Piome]
