Wow! Amazing! Thank you! Merry Christmas!

I made this leather pouch that slides over the Kréddle chin rest. If you want one, leave a request here. I'll check back as often as I am able. ua-cam.com/users/shortsxCNfmubhIjs?si=rDqNq_7D36nWv-9N

Height... not heighDTH. Why do people add DTH to the word height? Width has the DTH, but HEIGHT doesn't... Now that I had my rant about the English language (sorry!), I just bought a Kréddle for my viola. The centre mount was the only option they had, but both are said to allow the same positioning. My luthier told me that a centre mount reduces the risk of squeezing your instruments' sides because the centre (where the tail-piece button goes in) has a block of hard wood between the ribs, making it very unlikely to cause a bulge on the left side of your violin or viola when tightening your chin rest barrels; and I'm certainly all for protecting my investment from self-induced damage. I'm sure you are too! It's still your choice. With KUN shoulder-rest left as it currently was (pretty tall - I have a fairly long neck), it wasn't very good because it was all simply too thick, forcing my neck to tilt to the right. So I left the Kréddle with its 2nd tallest chin height adapter as it came out of the box. Instead, I screwed the legs deeper into the KUN shoulder rest in order to make it thinner, thus lowering my viola onto my shoulder a lot more. Now I was getting somewhere! It was then only a matter of getting the right tilt, angle, and depth (inward versus outward). I'm still not quite there yet because I did this all while wearing only a T-shirt - that's too thin compared to what I wear during rehearsals, and especially when performing at concerts! In closing, I am feeling very confident that I'll find the optimal adjustment given an hour or so - with playing in between, of course. All in all, this chin rest allows one to minimise the height of their shoulder rest while allowing the chin rest to go up in order to take up the slack. This brings your instrument down onto your shoulder to a much better position for easier bowing and without the tension that a high shoulder rest can cause. This is the 4th chin rest I've purchased and, so far, it surely seems to be the way to go - for me, at least. It's the only chin rest that allows adjustments to every parameter from height to its left-right, its tilt, and to its inward-outward (relative to your neck) positioning. Agreed - it's fairly expensive at $150 Australian, which is currently around $115 US. I wish that I knew about it before spending much more on 3 other high-end chin rests that I'll very likely never use. Live and learn! Good luck, folks, on your endeavour to play beautifully without unnecessary strain. 😊

Hi sharon this is Ava Stetter idk if still remember me , but i was at the San Antonio philharmonic last year i also went to church with u. I also just realized that me and my eldest sister are in the start of the video.

Excellent

I can't believe what and who I am seeing. This is a beautiful video and as always you play the violin so pretty. I am a member of the San Antonio UCG. I remember when you would play special music for us, I always looked forward to hearing from you. Back then i use to wonder if you were in the SA symphony or or some level of musical genre as such. you actually got me interested in listening to more music with the violin carrying the arrangement. I found the music from movie called the secret garden and fell in love with the song "Secret Garden" and Nocturn is also one of my favorites. from that movie. Now i have one of your songs to add to my meditation playlist...cool. It is in my meditation playlist. Whenever it comes up I think of you, and how it would have been so nice to hear you perform it at our church. anyways, tell your dad we miss him very much. I hope he is doing well along with you and the family. I was hoping you had more videos on here to listen to. I see you are kind of all over the place in what you play. God bless.

29:10 Don't be afraid to use all of your bow. Come on! Just play your violin.

22:19 Nadja gets pretty pushy, can be over the top but she gets the point across till it hits. Too bad no demo.

3:00 entrance

Scottish fiddler here. The demonstration tune is a Scottish traditional march with the wonderful name Hey Tuttie Tatie. According to legend, it was played by the army of Robert the Bruce at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, so it's probably very old. It's the tune used by Robert Burns for his famous patriotic song lyric Scots Wha Hae. I presume this is the version from Bruch's Scottish Fantasy?

Dear Dr. SHARON, TRY pops base rosin, it's nice and sticky! Keep it upside down to retain flat surface for bow. Keep it cool, it likes to run. Bye!

DR. IS THERE ANY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN Hair and. Siberia horse Hair? Just wondering, you've been tremendous help, now I understand the friction component of violin playing. My profoundest thanx. Yours very truly, Chris ebbesen, amature struggling violinist.♡♡♡♡

Brilliant, bless you!

absolutely beautiful..

It seems you could feel the pedals and play even better just playing barefoot!!!

🌄🥰☕

Could it be used with just the chin rest base?

I tried the kreddle for my viola but even with the smallest height piece the kreddle is to high for me, so I will aks them to accept the return :o(

This was awesome!! Thank you!!!

Nice video tell me ho to play plz mem

Do hash rosin next!

Wonderful! Bravo 👏

Bravo! Wonderful performance

Thank you for making this!

this is very useful video.thanks a lot

Kreddle website has instructions for changing the chin plate that look a lot easier than your struggle. 😊

i am making my own rosin from scratch and am still figuring out how to keep temp low and cook slow so that the rosin stays light in color and harder. they’re all turning out darker and softer than I want.

21 views, 3 likes and no comments? Shame! Let me change that and say that was a smooth performance. I play around with banjo and guitar tunings, couple of samples on UA-cam. ua-cam.com/video/rbQEav3MRlc/v-deo.html

Good review...I tried one and just returned it.. You could have mentioned that Kreddle has an excellent return policy if for any reason you are not happy with the chin rest. Thank you.

Very simple product made by simple plastic and no easy ideia ... seems to me a product lower level ... $89 on this??? No, no and no ... You need to use a key and 4 different parts to adjust the height ... is not easy adjustable... I didnt like ...

Beautiful piece! Well done! Very uplifting. Thank You Sharon

thank you for your direct unbias comments on kreddle . i ended up buying one

Why change a chinrest? Plenty of people shoot a shotgun with a stock as is comes from the factory. Good shooters know that a stock fitted to them will improve their shooting. It's no different with a violin, another tool that fits into the shoulder and needs to be the right distance from the face. The value is not in the adjustment range, but the expertise of the fitter. Yes, the Kreddle is infinitely adjustable. There just isn't much guidance on how to use it to create a firm, comfortable structure between collarbone and jawbone. Look at the permutations of adjustment: * Choice of chin plate (2) * Choice of post height (4) * Orientation of post (360 degrees) displacing the pad longitudinally and laterally * Angle of plate longitudinally (tipping it toward or away from scroll) * Angle of plate laterally (tipping it right or left) * Rotation of the plate (clockwise or anti-clockwise) Some of the fine adjustments are just what feels good. It would be nice to have a guide to getting into the ballpark first. There are rules of thumb for setting the stirrup leather length on a saddle and the height of a piano bench. For an analog, search "How to fit a gun." It would help most of all if there were similar guidance as to the choice of Kreddle post and how one might set its initial orientation. Otherwise, too much choice is worse than no choice at all.

What was the excerpt you played for the demonstration

The Kreddle definitely makes the violin sound bigger and better. Surprising how a chin rest could affect the overall tone. :)

I love this omg I need this in my life 😂😂😂

I love your video. As a violinist and bow rehairman, violin repairman, I am always fascinated by these little details. I would like to develop a rosin recipe, but there is so little info available to show me the properties of different pine tree varieties. Which is best?. Then there is the ratio of beeswax to add. Another mystery. Can one test commercial rosins to determine a general ratio?

It doesn't seem like there's going to be a part 2. 😀

So, are you still using it? What do you think now?

Very nice!

book Kwee Music quartet for your next event- links are in the description box. Thanks for watching!

sharon is very good!

Thanks for your review of the kreddle! We've elected to save paper and put our instructions online at www.kreddle.com/tips, and we have many videos on our UA-cam channel that might be helpful! A couple thoughts: 1) it's much easier to switch the chin plates when you have a post in the clamp--the post will give you a lot more leverage, and 2) the direction of the ball will depend on the relationship between the player's jaw line and collarbone--some players will find that a chin plate moved closer to their neck will be ideal. Let us know if there is anything we can help clarify!

I’m planning on trying it out soon with the cushion and will try to give a review after some use. I have not used a shoulder rest for roughly 2 years now I have been needing a taller chin rest due to the lack of height for my neck, so I hope this will do the trick.

Seem like a solid product. Just ordered mine with the center mount and cusion

Are you familiar with this? knutsacoustics.com/files/rocaboy-bow-hair.pdf

Such a cool video! I've always wondered whether or not the commonly accepted theory of "teeth" on the hair was accurate or not! Can't wait to explain this to my students.

Cool. Very useful information. In your experience, how often do you need to rehair given how you practice and play, in hours?

In your experience, when you're rosining the bow, should you put pressure on and do small sections (5-10cm) at a time? The other way I've heard is to hold the bow as though you're playing the instrument and 'play' the rosin in full bow strokes. Is there a scientific reason why one is better than the other?
