Just leaving a THANK YOU VERY MUCH here! I bought my daughter a violin for Christmas and you've certainly saved me a big headache on the big day with the set up. We're rosined up and ready to go! Superstar xxx
Thank you so much! I thought I had to send it back... But now it's fine and I have only to work on my playing 😀 Also appreciate the straight forwardness 👍
i started learning violin in 09/20 and i really like your videos, because you show that you can learn on cheap violin and then upgrade once you are better and plan to stick with it. when i started, most of the videos (minus your) i saw were instructors going on about a student needing to buy an expensive violin just to learn on. i bought a used 3/4 violin because thats what i could afford to learn on and then during xmas, i was able to get a discount on a good student violin. so thank you for showing that you Can start with a cheap violin and then upgrade once your better and want to keep playing.
@@violinlounge that was my thought...buy what you can afford to learn on. better to buy a cheaper instrument to get into it instead of buying nothing and not learning.
I really think that violin is pretty. Because it's all white. There are some violins (also cheap ones) that are white BUT they have a CONTRASTING color tailpiece and pegs. I wonder if you remember where you got that one zlata
OMG i got a violin like in June 2021 and i was not able to play it because of that i took it to my Music teacher but it was no help but your video was very very helpful!!
Hello Zlata! Have you ever addressed this problem in your previous episodes: I'm a relative beginner and my open strings bowing sound is good, full and fine. BUT - once I start "fretting" (pressing on the fingered notes) the sound turns into scratchy noise that is quite unstable - there are glimpses of good sound, then scratches, then it goes away completely, next it catches up, turns into scratches again and so on. Once again - my open strings sound is fine. What I checked: - My fingernails are short - My bow is rosined well - otherwise the open strings would not sound so nice - I try to maintain the same bow speed and pressure as on open strings but I must admit, something may go out of control at this stage
There can be many causes - it can be a focus thing: as you put down fingers, you pay less attention on your bowing and the technique can go out of control. This one is most common under beginners. - check if you're playing in tune: only in tune notes will resonate and have a good sound - if you're a beginner it can be that you're not placing your finger correctly on it's fingertip with some strength, the soft part of your finger can mute the sound - play around with all aspects of tone production: weight, speed and contact point... those are different per note and string
Woow . could you play the same Melodie once with your brown Violine?.to get to hear the difference I would like,to me the white violin sounded quite nice...but That's for sure just because you're so good at it!
Hi! I was wondering whether you used a different rosin for your bow when u were able to play in the video or did you rosin with the one given with the violin? Because I am unable to rosin my bow with the one given with the violin, it give very slight sounds.
Scratch up your rosin a little bit with a nail file or a pin because it's too shiny and it won't come off on your bow hair. It happened to me in the beginning and I didn't find any place at first to tell me the right thing about cheap rosin. I still have cheap rosin and it works great

Thank you sooo Much many violinist was saying that a cheap violin is just crap but this is someone who can make cheap better
Yes, better, but there's still a lot to say about investing in a good instrument that keeps you motivated.

You’re welcome! I’m all about quality material, but in the end we need to work with what we can get and it’s sure better than not starting. 😁

Thank you for your instructions! My brother bought me a violin for my birthday. I just turned 60 and it was a childhood dream to play the violin.
Wonderful!
JUST what I needed! Thank you!! 💗💗💗
Great! Happy playing!

Thanks, unfortunately I can't add any more recordings to this particular video, but you can definitely hear my own violin in other videos.
Thank you
Welcome!
You litterly bought the same violin again
Is it that good
Haha, no, in the few weeks I had this one I recorded a bunch of videos with it :)
@@violinlounge o
Your violin is soo buitiful
Thanks, I assume you mean the brown one ;)
With the 2 fine tuners
And premium boxwood fittings and dadario Kaplan amo strings
@@scharnhorstkaisarbeethoven it’s actually palissander and Evah Pirazzi Gold strings 🤓
@@violinlounge why you Europeans make everything so complicated to pronounceiate
@@scharnhorstkaisarbeethoven 🤣
Thank you.
Welcome!
Do you need to clean off the rosin after playing?
Off the strings yes, off the bow no

I haven't used the rosin that came with the violin at all, because it doesn't work. Get some good rosin!
@@violinlounge Okay, thanks for replying
Tbh I came here because the violin looks pretty, but after watching it I wanted to learning violin now
Yay 👍🏻😁🎻
Thank you
Mrs S@SS
Thanks for watching!
Why mine is not working
The bridge is slipping in my violin after tunning.why is that
Tune in steps and carefully making sure the bridge stays straight and in position.
0:15 seriously? no bridge! 😐
This is how 99% of cheap violins you order online come.
I swear I really love violin I can't afford one
Hope you will some day!
@@violinlounge yeah me too
Hi
🙋🏼♀️
My violin 🎻 doesn't make sound no matter how much I try I think I am going to quit
Have you tried using a different brand of rosin and using more of it?
Scratch up your rosin a little bit with a nail file or a pin because it's too shiny and it won't come off on your bow hair.
It happened to me in the beginning and I didn't find any place at first to tell me the right thing about cheap rosin.
I still have cheap rosin and it works great
I swear I'm poor and I can't afford even a cheap one help me pls if you can!!?
Maybe wait for a giveaway :)
Okay but I really want it and I need it 🥺
