Violin
    #19523449 - 02/05/14 12:47 AM (10 years, 27 days ago)

Why do they sound so beautiful and calm? I looked into buying one but apparently a good one costs 1500 to 2k, there are some on ebay for much less than that but like anything you get what pay. Why is that in this case? is it the material of wood used? I want to play one to see what its like.

Heres some tunes i been listening to for a few days now. Enjoy the moments.

Its pretty fun to play.
I ordered one off the web for 45 bucks a couple months back, figured id try n teach myself.
its not too hard once you get used to using the bow(which I use on my guitar as well :laugh: )
Lindsey sterling is awesome violinist

Last song I officially learned years ago. Trying so hard to get back into a decent routine so I can go back to playing... the violin is an instrument beyond words.

Violin is beautiful, but can also be powerful as fuck. Check this out, Violin solo starts at 3:55. Shit gets real intense, Jerry Goodman is a beast.

I'm pretty sure the wood used is nothing too rare, things like spruce (for the top) and maple (for the back etc.) More about the skill required to make them. Bows are made of a pretty rare wood though I believe. Those can also be quite pricy.

My dad is a fiddle player and from what he was saying prices are starting to come down because a lot of good quality instruments are starting to come out of China. There's a lot of shit that comes out of there too obviously. He gets his gear appraised regularly for insurance and that was the explanation he was given for the value of an instrument (a modern German made violin) going down. IIRC the bow he plays with is worth more than the violin.

Violin has been on my list to learn for quite some time. Violin sounds so amazing. It's like one of those old people that are really good at telling stories and you keep asking questions so you can hear more awesome stories.

I giggled.


Mentioned a few posts above here is a pretty cool Violin mash up from Lindsey Sterling, although i seen her play this same song on Conan O Brian it was terrible, she used a carbon fiber Violin perhaps that was why?

This is going to sound beyond hipster but I really liked her before she got super popular. I don't like many of her new things... they just seem to "give me more money"-esque.

Good luck learning how to play a violin, they're very tricky to get used to let alone develop solid skills

Yea man, if you look at his face during parts of the solo, it's like there is so much emotion in what he's playing that it looks like he's giving his violin the death stare. He's just so into what he's doing, and the skill level needs no explanation. :thumbup:

Excellent performances. Playing violin requires loads of practice. So practice and then practice until your fingers bleed.  :crymeariver:
