Thank you for sharing so much information. I'm 57 years old and playing the violin has been on my bucket list for a long time. I've taken my first two lessons with my instructor, and I love it. I use your channel as my go to for helpful information to prepare for my lessons. xoxo
My solution to stubborn pegs was to replace all my the pegs on my violins with perfection geared pegs. Geared pegs also allows the removal of all the fine tuners. My solution to extreme weather was to purchase a Mezzo Forte EVO carbon fiber violin.
Love your channel and advice. You are one of the best violin channels out there. Our daughter is considering restarting violin again. I bought her stings and violin years ago based on your video advice. She asks about tuning her violin now so this is something she should watch. I remember her pegs were a little difficult to tune so maybe the soap you mentioned is what we need to do.
I live in an area of the United States that is typically very hot and humid in the summer. Winter weather is unpredictable and can change from one extreme to the other in the same week. The luthier that made my violin suggested going with Wittner geared pegs given the conditions. With the geared pegs, you do not get the peg slippage or stuck pegs as the wood reacts to environmental changes.
I ❤ U...... Knowledge is WEALTH! I am BLESSED to be able to listen about 🎻from YOU, SO GIFTED 🙏. THANK YOU. $5 Sounds so little what YOU OFFER. What YOU give to INSPIRING PEOPLE. Common sense. 💋😘
Good day. I'm going from guitar to violin; would you have any advice? In the sense of habits of a guitarist that might be detrimental to learning violin.
My best advice is; to think of the violin as absolutely nothing like the guitar. There are (in my opinion....having dabbled in the guitar a few years ago for my own education and info) no transferable skills and no similarities. The both have strings and thats where the similarities end.
Assuming you are in the UK, for Grade 8, I would say youll want to be around the £1k mark and upwards. Otherwise, you wont get the tone needed or the violin just wont respond to the nuances you need to accomplish gd8.
Do not give up. The violin IS bloody hard, but at the same time, its VERY rewarding. I wanted to give up multiple times and threw music across the room and all sorts out of frustration, but i kept on with it because.... I now have a skill im VERY proud of and one that only a few percentage of the population actually have. I can tell you that if you give up, you'll regret it - 100% as you'll think back to this comment on my channel in a year's time and think that if only you had carried on... you'd be one year further on...! Don't make that mistake!

Humidity and Temperature changes may contribute to strings going out of tune .

@@TheOnlineViolinTutor Thank you. Does fiddle and violin have an easy conversion? (Hope that makes sense. I'll try to elaborate)
@@TheOnlineViolinTutor i disagree. a guitarist will have fretboard finger dexterity that a non-guitarist wouldnt have
Thank you.
How often do we replace strings?
Really depends i how much you play, but as a beginner say, I would say every 6-9 months roughly.
all my other strings stay in tune, its just E that doesn't
What's the ballpark cost of a violin that would be good enough to use at grade 8 level?
Assuming you are in the UK, for Grade 8, I would say youll want to be around the £1k mark and upwards. Otherwise, you wont get the tone needed or the violin just wont respond to the nuances you need to accomplish gd8.
So...buy a new violin?...im going back to guitar😂
My violin teacher one of his students there violin the pegs were made of plastic
😹
Can you please tell from where you learn violin
Thanks for the help, but how did you know that Bob’s my uncle
Pure guess 😉
@@TheOnlineViolinTutor 😂
I'm gonna give up on learning violin I didn't expect it to be this hard.
