    Your teacher giving you a Pirastro Korfker shoulder rest was a wonderful gift. I have one and I know the true cost as well as appreciating the real value of owning one. I use a Pedi Steelshield carbon fibre case which is really strong & good. Also try William Salchow rosin, I really love it.

    Loved this video! I wish I had more personal items in my case too, but I just can't figure out how to get pictures to stay in place. I actually have a Carmen Bruna viola bag!! I absolutely love it. I'm actually filming a video today about how to protect your instrument in the cold weather and I'm planning on showing it off! It's super protective and really beautiful!

    Melos rosin - low dust, less string noise & hardly need any! I agree about the Evah's. I progressed onto Evah Gold which last a bit better but my most recent set have been Perpetual & have lasted really, really well (nearly 3 years now) & I guarantee you will prefer them to dominants!

    For rosin, you should try Cecilia (Andrea) Sanctus rosin! In combines two parts of rosin and its absolutely amazing. I use it myself too.

    Thx this video was awesome and really helpful! I have a question: I currently use dominant Strings on a french early 19th century violin, would switching to each pirazzi be a Good option?

    • @JuliaJacobsen
      @JuliaJacobsen  3 роки тому

      It really depends on the instrument! I'm currently experimenting with lots of different types, including Dominants and Evah Pirazzis. I think dominants are good for times where you don't have many performances or aren't practicing much. If you practice a lot, Dominants may get dull fast. However, Evahs sometimes don't last very long either. I really enjoy Vision Solos and Vision Solo Titaniums. They last a while, are at a decent price, and work well with my instrument. I encourage you to experiment with several different types because what sounds good on my instrument may not sound good on yours. Good luck and let me know if you have any more questions! :)

    I have a metal practice mute but I recently purchased a rubber covered metal practice mute which mutes much better than a rubber mute and gives you a little bit more real violin sound than a fully metal mute does. I own two bam cases a high-tech slim and one of the original silver oblong high-tech from way back and they've held up great. I recently purchased a Gewa Air Prestige case which has some great features inside but the "leather" on the handle peeled off and if you scuff the case it leaves white patches because the material is paper thin. Not being "judgy" but I hope since the recording of this video you've gotten a new case, that's a beautiful violin and should be protected if you have a donation link let me know. Cases are expensive I'm eyeing another BAM Oblong case myself. I just purchased a violin bag from Laimadesign on Etsy today not cheap but I feel like my violin is worth it. Great video!

      @JuliaJacobsen  3 роки тому +1

      This information is so helpful, thank you! Unfortunately, funds are still low and I cannot get a new case anytime soon. This one is definitely not protective enough for my instrument so I'm trying to be as careful as possible with it. Please do not feel obligated to send any money, but if you would like to my PayPal is @juliajacobsen1

    Bit late but I LOVE Sartory rosin it's in a wooden box. Great mix of dark and light rosin and very low dust. Also totally agree on Evah Pirazzi I have to be the only violinist that hates them they don't last long for such an expensive string. I prefer Larsen Cannone and Virituso last longer Also the D'ADDARIO KAPLAN much brighter than EP.

    • @JuliaJacobsen

      @vanessaebony529 3 роки тому

      @@JuliaJacobsen You're welcome! I love sartory and it works well with many brands of strings and you don't have to use a lot. I've used Andrea viola solo as well but sartory is a lot cheaper. Since you normally use Vision Solo you should try regular Vision and D'Addario Zyex (similar to dominant but more projection) they are a bit cheaper than Dominant but have brightness close to EvahPirazzi. D'Addario Vivo is MUCH HIGHER than Evah Pirazzi and last longer. There's also Warchal. But if you want solo strings I liked D'addario Kaplan Vvio You're in USA right? If you buy from Southwest Strings and Shar music you get points which can be used as money off for stuff. I had so many points I got my CodaBow 1/2 the retail price!

    Take a look at the Musafia Enigma case. Extremely protective. You won't regret it. Try Satory rosin, very smooth and very grippy.
