Where do I find the best electric violin for my performances?

I have heard nice things about the 'fender fv-1' electric violin. nicely priced and good sounding. or for more money the Yamaha EV series are also good instruments. But whatever you do! DO NOT BUY the cheap ones offred on ebay. I was going to buy an electric violin for the fun of it. and a friend of mine that plays professionally gave me that advice. The cheap ones do not hold there tune very long. where the Fender and the Yamaha brands do!

Is the tuning the same on a violin as a mandolin?

Yes. The strings on a Violin are tuned thus: G-D-A-E, exactly the same pitch as on a Mandolin except the Mandolin has 8 Strings(2 strings each of the same pitch) instead of 4 as the Violin has.

I'm looking for ideas on a violin solo this year?

i'm an advanced player and i can do pretty much all positions/bowing styles. i want a piece that's really pretty and has some really fast parts. it doesnt necessarily have to be a fast piece, but i want one that has a couple of really fast parts.

also, i don't want a piece that just has one rhythm over and over again, or a piece that's like an etude.

any suggestions would be appreciated.

thanks!

If I answered "ZZZZZZZZZZZ" would you report me? But this one isn't so common. Try one of the simpler Paganini pieces. ;)
You need to obtain a graded list of violin solos. I bet that ASTA (American String Teachers Association) among others, has one. This will help you find where you ARE, and then comparable pieces in terms of difficulty. I am a flute teacher, and have several different lists of flute literature -and then, I databased them ALL, and cross-referenced them - ther is always ONE list that has a piece graded in the *wrong* level - what were they thinking?

Your best resources is your teacher. Beyond that, check professional resources. And on Yahoo Groups, there is a wonderful flutenet list - betcha there is a good violin list for you to join, too. Go for the one with the most members and most traffic.

In the orchestra there are 16 more violin players than cello players the total number is 66 how mani

ok, here's how you solve it

x = number of cello players

y = number of violin players = x+16 (16 more violin players than cello players.

x + y = total number of players so

x + y = 66

since y = x + 16 then

x + x + 16 = 66

now you add the x's and the integers

2x = 66-16

2x = 50

x = 50/2 = 25

y = 25+16 = 41

there are 25 cello players and 41 violin players.

hope it helps.

In the orchestra there are 16 more violin players than cello players the total number is 66 how maniplayviolintheater seating

In the orchestra there are 16 more violin players than cello players the total number is 66 how maniplayviolinlyric opera opera theater

v = c + 16

v + c = 66

Substituting with v:

???v + c = 66

???( c + 16 ) + c = 66

Simple addition:

???2c + 16 = 66

Subtracting 16:

???2c + 16 - 16 = 66 - 16

???2c = 50

Solving for c:

???2c 梅 2 = 50 梅 2

???c = 25

Substituting with c:

???v = c + 16

???v = ( 25 ) + 16

Adding and solving for v:

???v = 41

There are 25 cello players.

There are 41 violin players.
Let C = the amount of cello players.

How many violin players are there based on C ?

C + ____________ = 66

Use algebra to find c.

Then find the number of violin players.

Please try to finish this on your own before looking at others.

The answer is: 41 But make sure you understand why

My dad wants to buy a good violin (3/4) . Any retailers or online recommendations?

Try ebay. I bought on for my son through a whole saler on ebay.and it was pretty good quality and priced really well.

Don`t get it from eBay. When i was looking on eBay the man i was thinking about buying from had the same picture which he said was a different violin but had the same scratch marks on it. If you have a music store by you that would be best. Like Karnes but do nto do it online who knows what you will end up with.

What is the difference between a viola, violin and a fiddle?

What is the difference between a viola, violin and a fiddle?opera mobile opera theaterno, a violin is smaller than a viola common mistake though=] Report It


there is a difference..a violin is smaller and has a higher range than the viola ..they are all in the string family but the viola uses the alto clef while the violin uses treble since its higher..fiddle is a technigue used on the violin Report It


The spellings of each.

v-i-o-l-a

v-i-o-l-i-n

and f-i-d-d-l-e

See? They're all different.
Violins and voilas are definitely different instruments (at the risk of insulting violists everywhere, a viola is a "large" violin).

Not sure about "fiddle" though. But always remember that violins is not the answer!
The sizes... Its just like a chelo looks like a violin, but you wouldn't call it that.

What 60's band first used a violin bow by their guitarist?

What was the band called...the album it is off..the name of the song..and the name of the guitarist?

What 60's band first used a violin bow by their guitarist?phantom of the opera

From what I seem to recall, and I am very old, the first person to bow a guitar in rock was Eddie Phillips of the UK mod/psych band the 'Creation'.

The name of the song(s) were 'Painter Man' and 'Making Time', from the album titled 'We Are Paintermen'.

Jimmy Page was a session man before the Yardbirds, and employed by famed producer Shel Talmy. One of Shels bands at the time were the Creation. Jimmy Page was influenced by Eddie Phillips technique.

Led Zeppelin: innovators or plagiarists? Jimmy Page: genius or charlatan? You decide!

Here's the video of Painterman:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8GiS2-6a...

The Creation:

http://www.ready-steady-go.org.uk/creati...

FYI, the first person credited to to using a bowed electric bass was Louis Cennamo who played with many great bands in the 60's and 70's including; 'Steamhammer', 'Renaissance', 'Colosseum', and and the mid 70's heavy rock group led by ex Yardbird frontman Keith Relf called 'Armageddon'.

was and pretty much down to the very session

For the life of me I can't pinpoint it nor remember

the source.

2nd EDIT...Thank you, CR. Thus, I "bow" out.

Where can i order cheap but nice violin pick-ups???

I searched ebay for "violin pick-up" and I saw some for pretty cheap. Maybe try there.

What is does it mean when a violin bow is half lined?

Interesting question I happened upon. I will assume you know the different parts of a bow for my answer.

The lining on the bow is the metal on the frog. Half lined bows have only the contact surface with the stick lined with metal.

Full lined bows have metal from the slide around the back of the frog.

I hope that makes sense.

I tried to find some pictures on line that would show the difference. This is best I could find, I think it shows the full lined bow well(you can see the metal, probably silver, comming around to meet the ivory). I couldn't seem to find any to show half lined but I think it will give you the idea.

How many strings are there on a violin?

Four

How many strings are there on a violin?extension

There are 4 strings on the violin

the lowest is - G

next is -D

next is A- 440-

highest is E

If you want to compare other string instruments:

The viola has 4 also;

Also, cat gut connects the tailpiece to the end button. That is definitely not a string that you play.

The bow that you use does not have strings , it is hair, either of horsetail or synthetic.

It's lowest isC

next is--------G same as violin's lowest string

next is--------D same as violin

next is -------A same as

cello- has same strings as viola- but lower.

Double Bass has same strings as violin, but backwards and much lower. ist lowest is E , then A, then D, then G

Violin , viola, and cello are tuned by perfect fifths.

The Double Bass is tuned by fourths.

How many strings are there on a violin?movie theater opera theater

Belive it or not..there are five,the 4 you draw the bow across and cord then there is ONE that attacts the tail to the body,its not metal its cat gut or leather .. check it out..you said strings...
Four but I have seen some that have five. I guess it is like putting five strings on an electric bass.
Four. Left to right - G, D, A and E!
4 and i play the violin
four
four string
4 - from lowest to highest - G, D, A, E.
Well, I guess you're gonna hear somewhat of the same answer, but let me go a little further.

The four strings everyone has mentioned are E, A, D, and G. That much we all agree on. A 5-string violin also has the next fifth down, so the lowest string would be a C. There are electric violins that actually have 6 strings. The lowest string on these would be an F. And (are you ready for this) Mark Wood, of Wood Violins, has invented a 7-string violin which he calls the Viper. B-Flat for the low string on this baby!

Check out the sound of these instruments at http://woodviolins.com/html/viper.html

And when it comes to tuning, don't forget that alternative tunings are also possible. Just like with a guitar, many folk fiddlers use non-traditional tunings. And you'll often find fiddlers who have two instruments on stage with them during performances because they are tuned to different notes.

Hope that helps.

Know any classical piece for bassoon and violin?

you could try using a violin cello duet for a substitute ... also try finding oboe bassoon duets and there are beethoven duets that are published that are labeled as flute/violin/oboe and cello/bassoon duets and those would work

How do you get vibrato on the violin in one week?

Vibrato usually takes a bit to get down. If you want to start to improve your technique, first try doing long glisandos up and down the string. As you get more comfortable, speed up the glisando and your bow speed. It won't sound pretty at first, but it will improve over time. Start with your middle finger- it's the easiest to begin with.

Oh, and make sure you have your wrist in the proper position when holding the neck of the violin. A collapsed wrist makes it difficult to get the technique down. Also, don't grip the neck with your thumb- just let it pivot on the edge.
