Is this how you "vibrato" on open strings? For example, the beginning of Bruch concerto #1 in g minor. I remember being taught to "vibrato" the open G string by vibrato-ing the higher G on the D string. It was a cool effect, but I just took it for granted. Didn't bother figuring out why that worked.

professor V, I'm currenly learning violin by myself as I can't find any teacher. I've been watching your videos everyday, and basically practice violin with your methods everyday. I think it helps, but the problem is that i Don't know whether I play it correctly or not. there's no one to guide me.

I'm a violist and have been playing for quite a few years (12 years now) and am in a college orchestra, but even some of your technical videos have helped me refine some of my methods even on the viola, especially this one. Thank you

[professorV]

Thanks for that, nburkemdx. Best Regards to you.

Hi profV, we're fans from Holland, appreciating your lessons on video very much, it helps a lot.... I didnot know that there were words to put on the phenomenon I use instintively.

Thanks also for the tricks for improving speed- the lesson on Wohlfahrt's etude 25- it works fine.

[professorV]

Thanks for writing those comments and you are welcome.

Very nice... I've noticed this phenomenon before. Thanks for clarifying this. Thanks for posting these vids... I still can't thank you enough for the vibrato videos... I've managed to learn it in a couple of days! Cheers~!

[professorV]

Hey, you are welcome, and thanks for the nice words!

What a curious lesson, I didn't know nothing about Sympathetic Vibrations.

Thanks professorV! :)

[professorV]

Give it a try, see what you think!

I notice my teacher told me about my violin and my bridge, I made that bridge, and he noticed its kinda low, he told me that the sound is dead. It doesnt have a ringing sound, is that the same ringing you are discussing? very nice input Mr Todd. Now i know that it is bec, of the synpathetic vibrations that causes additional loudness to the violin. very cleaver idea

[professorV]

Well... a violin that is out of adjustment could ring much less than one set up correctly. When you bow a string and then lift the bow, there should be some ringing of the instrument, assuming you didn't stop the vibrating string.

When I say "adjustment", I mean the set-up of the bridge and soundpost. That adjustment really needs to be done by a qualified violin shop.

The sympthathetic vibrations are in addition to the normal ring of the violin string. Make sense?

[pikachoi2007]

Cool. I guess I made a good adjustment with my recent bridge, and by monday, my teacher wont notice that LOL. just kidding
