The violin is a stringed-bowed instrument, the highest in sounding among its family. The ancestors of the violin were European fidels, oriental zithers and hand violas. For a long time, the latter were considered instruments of the high society and were opposed to the plebeian violin, but over time, "folk" instruments, simpler in form and louder in sound, ousted their modal predecessors from the concert stage.
Instructions
Step 1
Choosing a violin is a crucial stage in preparation for playing music. It is better to go to an instrument store not alone, but with an experienced performer from among your acquaintances. If you don't have such a friend, invite the teacher by paying him a certain amount by agreement. Choosing a violin yourself, you may not attach importance to defects that affect the sound and life of the instrument.
Step 2
Pay attention to all parts of the violin: the pegs must be screwed in straight, the neck and stand must be straight. Do not forget about the evenness of the bow: look at it from the side of the screw, passing the cane to a point far in front of you.
Step 3
The shape of the violin should correspond to the structure of the hands: the size of the hands, the length from the shoulder to the fingertips, and other characteristics. You are also unlikely to be able to choose an instrument by weight and size on your own, and during the performance your posture will be deformed.
