See YouTube “thepianoinstructor” her name is Alison Sparrow, she has
several video clips including tuning. She fabulous and you’ll just love her
as all her students do.
when i started to play the violin i played on cheap rented ones but my
teacher asked me how much was this? i answered 20$ per month(4 months) and
her jaw popped. later i got a 4/4 violin 2000$ from my teachers ex-student
for free. it sounded terrible. But the last violin i bought (i raised the
money my self) was 800$ and that sounded better than my teachers 10000$
violin.
Your best bet is to find a music shop that rents well known brands…like
Yamaha, Suzuki, Sherl & Roth etc. Assuming you are a full grown adult, 14
years old or older, you will want a “full size” violin, bow and case. Ask
them if they have any used instruments (previous rental violins) for sale.
If you want the lowest price tell them you don’t care if it’s scratched up
and used looking as long as it plays well. You may pay a little more at a
store but it’s worth it.
A violin is one of the most complex to make well. IMO ‘handmade’ in a
factory setting is misleading. Handmade should mean each component
critically selected and fashioned together by ONE, master craftsman and the
application of details and varnish by that same maker. Otherwise it is not
a truly crafted instrument. Buy the most instrument you can afford, not the
least. The better you get, a lesser quality instrument doesn’t increase in
value and also inhibits growth of good technique. Cheers.
i have an entry level violin and it sound good for me. in my video that i
played wieniavski romance im using that entry level. a karl hofner…
someday i wish to have their master violin if the entry level is that good
the master is 100 times better i think..
ten dollars was a hell of a lot of money 50 years ago. You could buy 100
bottles of coke for ten bucks in 1962. With “new” instruments price
definately has a bearing on quality
Great information. At last, someone who understands the importance of
correct setting-up, and the potential of ‘cheap’ violins, which is every
bit as good as those costing a lot more, and I do mean A LOT!
This guy is great! Basically you can buy a cheap violin, “entry level”, for
under $230 bucks and then turn around and have a Luthier fix the key
components and make it sound better. I certainly applaud his information,
but custom work by a luthier is expensive and I would be better off buying
a $500 violin and asking one to set it up for $50 bucks. (Not using custom
tooling, just string and bridge adjustments.) Very informative though and
not being sarcastic.

You (the speaker here) seem to play the f# (on the e string first position)
a wee bit sharp, according to my ear.

specify.

So how do we find this seller of yours, please? I want to try to start
playing one. I like the celtic/county idea best. Any good leads?! Thanks!
June 4th, 2014 at 5:45 pm
Hehe. Right you are. Especially if you fiddle with it a couple hours a day
June 4th, 2014 at 6:08 pm

June 4th, 2014 at 6:41 pm
Checkout ‘The Old Violin House’ for the mother load of cheap but excellent
quality violins….and…..wait for it…..made in China.
June 4th, 2014 at 6:46 pm
Hehe yeah you’re right. That might also help!

Hmmm dunno.. It’s like when I started guitar I didn’t start from tuning it.
I didn’t know what tuning was. xD I just learned a few chords, meh…
