How To Choose A Violin

by Lori Buenavista

The first concern for beginning violin trainees is buying or renting a musical instrument. While it may be luring to just choose the first violin you see, or go with the lowest priced, these are not the top strategies. Read on for some advice on choosing the best violin for your needs.

Size

The first order of business is to select which measurements violin you need. Violins are available in 8 various sizes, from the tiny 1/32 size to a full size 4/4 violin for adults or teens. Ideally, you should have a professional measure to find out which size violin is proper. The most frequent strategy to measure is from the middle of the left palm to the neck.

Quality

The quality of violins varies widely. Quality is the biggest aspect of price. Violins range in price from $250 to over $15,000. You'll find 70 elements in a violin. Quality can very in every part. Fittings, such as chin rest, endpins and tuning pins can be built of ebony, boxwood or even plastic material. Most violins are made from spruce and maple, but the level of quality of that wood is what determines price. The highest quality violins are made of spruce and maple that is over 200 years old, and has been stored at least 20 years. Professional violins are hand-carved. Student violins are machine-manufactured. Skilled violins are hand-varnished, often using a multi-step process. Student violins are spray-varnished. Many specialists play very old violins that were hand-carved from violin masters. Most "Stradivarius" violins were not genuinely made by the Stradivari family. Alternatively, they were made from the pattern and measurements used by the family. There are just around 700 authentic Stradivarius violins in the world, and these are worth large sums of money.

Tone

Every violin is different, no matter whether it was hand-carved or machine-manufactured. Because of the natural variations in wood (even wood that is precisely the same quality), the sound of every violin is quite a bit unique. A violin is definitely personal purchase wherein musicians become connected to their instruments after playing them for a long time, and are intimately familiar with the tone of their own violin. How to tell if your violin has "good tone" if you're a beginning student?

Take a person who plays with you to the music store and have them check out quite a few musical instruments. Many stores will let you take an instrument with you for a 48-hour free trial so that you can have your teacher look at it, play it and make sure that it's a very good fit for you. Avoid the very cheapest violins. These are made with second-rate quality wood, plastic fittings, and the cheapest strings. It's extremely hard to get great tone from a low-cost violin.
