The strings that come on a cheaper violin like that are going to be awful though. You should probably restring the whole thing. obscured01 03-09-2003, 11:48 AM <font color="DAB9E8">If you do restring the whole violin, I suggest dominant strings... they sound a lot better and are pretty good about not breaking real easily. The first time I broke a string was right after my mom bought me my first violin... and I'd taken it to church to show it off to everyone (I was only 10), so I was playing it (or attempting to play it) and the A string broke. I started crying and couldn't stop - and thought my mom would kill me because I broke the violin... heh. I didn't realize you had to change the strings.</font> crescentfresh 03-09-2003, 12:20 PM Can anyone recommend some good solo pieces? i'm not in an ensemble anymore and I'm really bored lately with playing. twilightfadez 03-09-2003, 12:27 PM speaking of solo pieces..i got this book of violin solos of the beatles <3 bonsor 03-09-2003, 12:40 PM wouldn't a breaking violin sring just whip you across the face? twilightfadez 03-09-2003, 12:41 PM no..not this time..cos i was tunning it not playing it..and it broke on the top, the part that's covered inm thread...it broke right where it winds onto the peg bonsor 03-09-2003, 12:43 PM i've always wanted to play cello jo jo bon obscured01 03-09-2003, 12:46 PM Originally posted by ****** jo jo bon |
