    The most useful thing in my violin case has to be my clip-on electronic tuner. I don't have expensive tastes, so I recently got me a Glarry violin and I got one that came with an electronic tuner. i stayed away from the ones that came with a pitch pipe instead. Pitch pipes are not as accurate. And I use a micro fiber cloth as well.

    I can confirm your analysis is spot on!! It happened to me when I was co-leading a chamber string concert (student-level). Only the leaders string broke so I gave him my violin to continue playing and literally went backstage to put to a new string on his violin. The truth was that I wasn’t good enough or brave enough to lead after he stopped playing because I couldn’t reach the notes!

The internet has indoctrinated me into expecting the E string break during that particular part…my inner troll was disappointed it didn’t happen, lol. The entire performance was of course, amazing. It’s extra special for us Belgians, because Ray won the Queen Elisabeth Music Competition in 2009, also with Tchaikovsky.

    Basic physics lesson: The tension on a string constant along the whole length of the string (except for the negligible effect of sliding friction). It really isn't true to say that the tension is greatest at the bridge. However, it is definitely most likely to break at the bridge for several reasons. Firstly, it is the node of all vibrations, meaning that every time it vibrates (660 times per second open E to 2640 times two octaves higher) it is the point at which it is held still while the whole string see-saws up and down, so all fatigue effects are concentrated at the bridge. So in addition to being bent sharply at an angle at the bridge, it gets bent and unbent literally several million times per hour that it is being played, all at that point. The nut is the other node of the vibration, but only when playing open notes, which is a small proportion of the time. Also, there there is no big constant bend angle at the nut, so it is unlikely to break at the nut. Abrasion at the bridge, which happens when tuning or stopping the string, is not significant for metal strings.

    Classical violinists are snobs because they insist on loops rather than balls. I’d say that the loops are where the string is going to fail. The wound strings tend to fail slowly. The e string is not liable to break at the bridge point. Usually at the peg wrapping/winding or the loop.

    • @JuliaJacobsen
      @JuliaJacobsen Рік тому

      I think a lot of violinists don't really have a choice when it comes to loop or ball ends because of the tailpiece that comes with their instrument, unless they change it of course. I do agree that the loop end can be a bit concerning because it just looks like it can come off the instrument so easily. And most of my E string breaks have been near the pegs, so that's true that is the likely place.

    Great video Julia! I have one question though, During string breaks, are there ever many injuries caused by the string whipping towards the player's face? I can see an unfortunate violinist who's had a string break get an receives an entire row of stitches to hold her skin back together! Can that or does this ever happen? As an eighth grade teacher I had a student who always wore safety glasses when playing in her strings class! I considered her a smart young lady even if the strings instructor did not! Thank you for this great video! I look forward to view more of your videos! Thanks, Dan S.

    • @JuliaJacobsen
      @JuliaJacobsen Рік тому

      Thank you, Dan! It is uncommon for the string to hit you in the face. Since it most often breaks near the pegs - and the strings naturally coil - the string will usually coil some as it breaks apart away from the instrument. Also, it is a natural instinct for most people to close their eyes or brace for impact as soon as the string breaks, so my eyes are usually shut in the split second it happens.

      I'm so glad to hear that! The fact that soloists like Ray Chen sometimes carry extra E strings in their coat pockets shows that it can happen pretty frequently. Some soloists change their strings as often as every two weeks! So they get used up fast.
