Hi, does anyone know where I can get a carbon fiber bow in Malaysia?
*
Amadeus Violin shop sells Codabows (made in US), price around RM1.5k and up. If you're looking for cheaper ones, go to ebay and look for Yitamusic. They have awesome carbon fiber bows.

Just start my violin class. Seems like I got a great teacher  smile.gif
Anyway, he recommend me to look for new strings. Dominants or Pirastro. I've only looked at MidValley so far, and the price range is around RM260  sad.gif
Can I get a good enough string for less than RM200?
*
Standard prices (more or less):

Thomastik Dominant : RM180
Thomastik Infeld Red : RM240
Pirastro Tonica :RM120
Pirastro Obligato : RM400
Pirastro Evab Pirazzi : RM400
DAddario Helicore : RM170
DAddario Zyex : RM220

look for Euromusic in Jalan Imbi, Amadeus Violin Shop near Jaya supermarket, Bentley music in mutiara damansara.

Nice... you can play the viola. Alto clef, hard? I used the bass and tenor clef frequently... treble sometimes. smile.gif

Hard la at first, but practice makes perfect.

Do you guys know price for cello strings and also the bow?

My cello cracked, can any professional fix the crack? Last time I went to some string shop, they just cover with glue.. But the crack still there.

Hi, I'm looking for pickups mics for violin. Having a performance soon, haven't performed for a while. Anybody here got experience in what mics to buy and where to buy it? Also looking for a wireless transmitter to a pa system. 
Budget <rm1000. I looked back the old threads with icecube's replies, where he mentioned he was using fishman V200 + Pro-EQII and suggested yamaha VNP-1 pickup.

Searched around youtube also saw this suggestion http://myerspickups.com/myerspickups.html.

I'm guessing i should visit euro music and have a look first.

you can check out shadow nanoflex pickups as well. piezo pickup installed underneath the bridge with on board preamp.
