thats my weakness is putting in my new strings

[tmerlin31845]

I thought Laurel and Hardy was only in black and white.

Just jkg, you can do something a zillion times but the moment a camera is pointing at you...............

[ThePipercole]

if 1 string breakes does it mattter if you change it with a different brand of string than the brand of string that is already on the violin and how do you get a snaped peg out of the hole at the top also do you need a certain cind of string for a electric violin

[00Mj000]

how much string shall i insert into the peg before i screw it in?

[mattshane]

@PunkyAlias Okay, yeah he can play the violin better than I can. That does not mean what I said is not true.

I did it by myself, just checking another violin,is not rocket science.... but still quite informative

Use one of your l.e.d. bulbs to light this video. I tried three of them and didn't learn a thing. Possibly relating to not being able to see what you are doing. I agree panning away constantly, at key moments, would be my reaction also to that shirt.

[PunkyAlias]

wow mattshane - I dare say he would be a little more a professional violinist than you..

[mattshane]

wow this guy sounds like an lsd head case, he repeats himself
