  • cant she shut the .... up, and play. only play cuz im trying to tune my violin from her and she keeps on talking and not playing.

  • @GreyShinobi Listen to the pitch, not the actually sound the piano makes. When you match pitches, it should sound like only one instrument is playing it and it should sound open.

  • All these idiots slating this woman off, need to realise that she is teaching you HOW TO TUNE the A string of the violin NOT what the pitch of the A string, aka 440Hz sounds like. There is a difference, and trust me, coming from a grade 8 abrsm distinction violinist, what she is teaching here is more useful. P.s buy a tuner.

  • i wish you didnt talk so much and playedthe a string more and longer

  • I think your A is a little flat... no judgment just to me sounds flat. but thank you what you're doing is amazing:)

  • this is a good video. i needed the a string to tune the rest. thanks for posting.

  • This was excellent hopefully I can tune betta in class:) thank you so much!!!!!:D

  • you guys should not condemn someone who is doing a service for free. and no one should make racist remarks or about her looks. if the A is a little out of tune..so be it. u guys know how to tune then tune your own you dont need to follow her. whats the probelm?? i can tune myself but i still watch this video with some respect for her. why? cos she has the guts to do it guys..chill it man!!

  • While listening to this my teeth began to ache, and I wondered why. I discovered that I was biting down. My teeth still hurt.

  • There is nothing wrong with this girl's tutorial. Perhaps if she were white it would make you white listeners a bit more comfortable. Honestly, it would definitely be a grand gesture to keep your unnecessary comments to yourselves and show some respect.

  • thanks all i wanted is the sound of the A string... from their i can do by myself

  • @Eehsz All Im saying is that the video sucks just like every other expert village video and all she does is play the string badly without een demonstrating how to tune it-and shes ugly. but i really wish ppl would stom commenting about this becuz it all started over a year ago and im really starting to get tired of it.
