One of the channels I really dig, and I don't have a Violin yet! So much useful information to get musicians excited :)
Funny, but my ears always hear you say at first - "Welcome back, I'm Alison and I'm a Piano and Violin Cheater..."
You make it looks so easy and fun - thank you for all the hard work and good luck with your music and life!
Hi Alison, Lloyd here (complete beginner guy) Thank You so much for your recent tutorials & in particular this tutorial on how to change the Violin strings. This tutorial has been a great help to me! Thank You once again Alison 😊😊😊
Thank you... I am mainly a woodwind player. But I also play some guitar and now practicing the violin more confidently with your videos! :) I had asked in previous years, if it was possible for the strings to go dead on the guitar, and I was told no. But you have made it perfectly clear, that they can! I think it was probably because the person I was asking, didn't want to have to buy new strings, instead of just saying, yes. But we'll wait to get new strings.
Thanks Allison! Can you do more of these? :)
Thank You so much for this , and all of your videos . I can't express just how much you've helped me and a lot of other people , thanks :)
nice nail polish. I am going to try those Oliv strings.
You should, it's one of my favorite string. For me it's the best even compare with Obligato or Evah P
This is so intimidating XD idk why
People who have lack of trust are easily intimidated by issues like this. Other people don't feel that drama so much. You have to know that you have to learn to trust a little more to make life easier. Most kids get that with mother's milk so to speak. But you have a pro as tutor here, who is providing you with all necessary information. And if you do as she said your violin will be okay. You can trust that.
....no I just don't want to mess up my violin... I don't trust myself not her -_-
Mugiwara Her message is, "Don't take off all the strings at once." If you follow that and change them one by one, nothing's gonna get messed up. That easy and nothing scary. ;)
Galante Welt You made me feel much better, and I'm not even going to change my strings! Although I should someday :P
This video saved me! I just broke a string couple of hours ago
Thank you so much. I was planning to change my strings and this is very helpful
Hi! I love your videos, they've been so helpful, and I've been teaching myself violin through them and your books. :-)
I was just wondering, my friend's birthday is coming up, and me and my friends were wanting to play 'Count on Me' by Bruno Mars for her (my other friend, who is doing this with me is a singer), and I was wondering if you could do a video with some backing chords of some kind for the song?
Thanks again for your channel, it's so amazing! :-)
I like flat coke better than fizzy coke tho...
wtf dude
Please, able the options in your videos to put on the subs in Spanish, there are a lot of people that will can understand your videos 😊
I think I have to pay for this service. i can put them on, but they translate terribly to the point where it is total nonsense. Sorry.
Can you please do a piano tutorial on splash free ?
can u plzz do a video on beats , how to take the perfect beat.. i've been trying to take the beat using my legs but its jst not working out
Hello Alison. Can you tell me a little about whether to use synthetic or steel strings. Do Synthetic strings lose tune over time and need to be replaced unlike steel strings? Thanks in advance.
Fantastic video
What strings should I put on my violin.It has a big,and robust sound, somewhat deep.
Im possible for me to say as I cant hear your violin. You best bet is to read up on strings and see what sound they are supposed to produce and choose from there. Its all a game of trial and error as ultimately it depends on your violin and the way you play.
Also if you have a cheap student violin, expensive Pirastro strings are going to be a waste of time and money as you wont get the most out of them.
I have a video on strings already on my channel: czcams.com/video/9FoecIDrNV0/video.html
What about wrapping the strings on the peg before poking into the role? I ask this because this is what a lot of guitar player do when chaging the strings. On the first time that I changed I did just like in your video but it took me like a hour, the peg always came loose and I broke one string.
Not something I would do.
Possible to maybe do a jazz or church organ tutorial? Or to just play songs on the instrument.
thankyou for this, very fascinating. when did they start putting the tubing on the strings? i remember my mothers violin and the strings did not have the tubes.
I have been playing for over 30 years and always had tubing. Cheap strings dont always have them.
If you like Olive, you should try Thomastik Special E the Gold one. It makes me dump my Kaplan
I have and I find them too tinny. My violin is a very old antique with a very soft and delicate sound, so i have to be careful what I use. I find the best strings are gut, but....those are a bloody nightmare to tune, even though they sound beautiful on my violin.
Yes that's the gut always makes trouble, but Olive is the best gut I've ever tried although it is bloody expensive and very hard to tune. It still fit on my Maggini Copy. But still I can't forget my first love "Dominant" so I use it with Special E gold to my other old violin with a little bit soundpost adjustment then it perfectly match me. Seems that Evah Gold or Obligato is a big sound.
Hi Alison, I just started learning the violin for months now and the pegs on my violin (especially the G & D strings) are loose. And the fine tuners i have are the small ones and is very hard to use (i got a normal one on the e string).
Ma'am plzz suggest.....I'm a beginner....should I go for STENTOR 1500 4/4 or CVN 300????? .....plzzz reply
Either or. Doesnt matter.
Okay...Thank you soo much for replying😊
Thanks for the vid!
Yes, I didn't even take off my strings while unvarnishing my violin. The sound post is just clamped in between top and bottom--too dangerous.
I'm using Obligato and will put on Obligato again soon. You praised them a lot which was reason enough and now I really like it. Interestingly fiddlerman.com changed from Obligato to Vision, so they're obviously good too. But I'm not in the mood for more experiments--not before my first concert in December.
When I tried to change the string it was fine at first, I got the string in the holes and everything. When I tried to tune it, however, the string would reach a certain tension where either the peg would slip or the string would pop out of the hole and loosen, therefore I had to start over. What do I do to prevent this?
Pull a little more through the peg. I find Daddario string slip like this all the time as well as others. Pull enough so you have a good 1cm or 1.5cm through the little hole, but not too much that its really sticking out the peg box.
Ok thank you! I've broken a couple of E strings already, worst part is that particular violin wasn't mine... 😅 I will try once more, wish me luck XD
Yaaaasss I did it!!!! The string was replaced and tuned in just ten minutes, I didn't even break a sweat lol. What would we do without you haha :)
Heres a little something for you you:
1. Viello
2. Celloin
3. Viello/Celloin
How often do you change strings on your violin? I use a very similar combo on mine, Passione G, Dominants on D, A and Oliv E. Thank you.
Every 6 months or so. Depending on how much I use my violin. To be honest, I change them when I can hear they are dead/flat and im having to work really hard to get a good sound. I dont change for the sake of it of after 3 months etc because thats a waste of money and if I have not played my violin for 3 months, then they wont be dead.
I just bought a violin at £100 I'm a cello player for about a year now am a grade 3 player, I always liked the violin so I said can I get one so I have one will it be easy for me to pick it up?. My cello teacher is a professional violin player so she will help me. But do you think could pick it up easily?.
It should be a bit easier as you can already play an instrument, but until you try you wont know.
I have a question it might be a dumb one but I thought I'd ask anyway. I want to learn the violin I still haven't got one yet but I am left handed and was wondering if the structure of a left handed violin is different from a right handed violin. I thought maybe I should just try to get used to using a right handed violin but I don't know yet.
Personally, I would play with the violin in the left and bow in the right. BOTH hands play an equal role, so it really doesnt matter which.
The Online Piano and Violin Tutor thanks for the advice it helped because I wasn't sure what to do your videos also help a lot I like to watch
I agree with her. Unless for some reason it is causing you serious problems and you feel it's going to make a difference in your playing.
What violin would you suggest me to get? I have never gotten a violin but I am very interested. I do not want to get a very expensive violin but I want to get a decent one that I can really play with if I get better. I was looking at the MV500 but then saw that you put it as a starter violin. Would you suggest a CVN like the 400? Thanks
If you want a violin that you wont need to upgrade for a good while, then get the CVN500 and put Dominant strings on it.
The Online Piano and Violin Tutor Ok thanks. I am not good at making decision so I guess that settles it
One more question. Why do you put the CVN's in a higher category then some of the MV's even if the price of the mendini is higher?
I heard the passione g had some problems with the g and the winding in the peg box extending to the nut. Also, the Oliv a I've heard bad things about. How are your experiences?
Right now I use G and D oliv stiff, Eudoxa a, and goldbrokat e. How do you think that set is balance wise?
I have no idea as that combo will be totally different on my violin and it will on yours. Its about knowing your violin, the strings and what you want to suppress or bring out of the violin.
Have you had problems with the winding of your Passione strings in the pegbox? It looks as if the winding extends to the nut which probably wouldn't result in a good tone. What's your stance on this?
Some people have no problems with the Oliv A, some can tolerate it, and some just use a different A. Some people say it unwinds easily, others say it's fine, but the main problem is as it adjusts to your finger temperature and room temperature, it will go out of tune often. You have to let it warm to your hand and stuff.
The Passione, I think mainly the G, has a winding that extends over the nut so that as the string settles, it will go back to a normal spot not over the nut, for extra tuning stability. It should be fine after it breaks in.
The Oliv Stiff D is really high tension. The lightest gauge stiff is higher than the regular Oliv D, which even its lightest gauge is about the same as Evah Pirazzi, which is pretty high. The stiff Oliv G is low tension, even in its highest gauge, and so is the Eudoxa A. That might cause a tension inbalance. The Goldbrokat E is a nice string, it should be okay.
You can use the Pirastro website to find the tensions, and a few Pirastro strings have the tension in lbs on violinstringreview.com too.
Keep in mind that since Passione is a hybrid string, it will sound like one - somewhere between gut and synthetic. It's the most stable gut regarding tuning, though. Oliv D silver and G stiff should be pretty stable once broken in.
A few alternatives for the Oliv A are Passione/Passione Solo, Obligato, Larsen Original/Tzigane, Pirastro Synoxa/Tonica, Gold Label (tuning?) Kaplan Amo, and more. Try to find a rich string to match the lower gut, or use a steel A like famous soloists from before synthetic strings, such as Warchal Russian Style A, Warchal Avantgarde, Pirastro Eudoxa-Chromcor, Thomastik Spirocore, D'addario Helicore, or pretty much any steel A.
The bottom half of my bow doesn't make a sound but the top half does; is this normal or do I need to clean my bow?
Perhaps you dont have enough rosin on it?
could u make a Tutorial for The Tom and jerry songs
I live overseas and only come back home every 3-4 months, do you think its harmful to leave my violin unplayed for that long because the strings get lose very badly the last time i checked it .
No, so long as you dont leave it in poor conditions like cold and wet or hot and humid etc.
thanks :)
I want to buy Pirastro Oliv strings, and apparently there's a choice between ball end or loop end for the E-string. Does anyone know what type of end the other Pirastro Oliv strings (G, D and A) have? Do they have ball or loop ends?
The E string depends on what fine tuner you use. If it's a Hill style so that it's the same length as the other strings, then it's probably a loop. If it's a regular ball end Wittner that protrudes out closer to the bridge, then it's probably ball end. You can look up images.
To answer your other question, the Oliv A is ball, and D & G is tie knot, kind of like ball.
Does it matter how they are wound around the pegs? I heard somewhere that you should never cross the string over itself when winding, but that's REALLY hard. I couldn't get it, so mine cross.
Speaking of strings, do you think the Fiddlerman strings are good as Dominants as he claims? they were way better than the ones that came on my $150 Cecilio electric, but I didn't know if it would be worth getting the Dominants next time.
Late, but the Fiddlerman strings are pretty good. I'm pretty sure they're lower tension than Dominants. I don't remember much, but they're pretty similar. Every violin is different, and they respond differently to different strings and tensions, so I can't say one is objectively better, but you can go with the classic Dominant with Gold Label E on Ebay for under $40, or a similar but maybe a tiny bit brighter Pirastro Tonica for about $25 on Ebay, which is cheaper than the Fiddlerman set ($30)
Whats the violin used?
Its an antique violin circa 1850
oh... i had problems with the sound post before... maybe it was because i use to change the 4 strings at the same time...
Yes, that is an issue - its why i do it one at time.
This might be a bit old but can you do a tutorial or cover of a tender feeling from SAO
That's hllo nail polish!
I need czardas
Lovely nails :)
Thanks :)
"por una cabeza" tutorial?!
my string didn't have any plastic on it
Depends on the string - cheaper ones dont have them.
