  • 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.

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

  • @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

  • 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

  • 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,

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

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

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

  • 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.)
