u go to IMH?

i think it also depends on the quality of the strings. I rememmber hearing somewhere, gut (sheeps gut normally) strings tend to be less elastic. Maybe that can be the problem why a little turning changes the pitch a lot. Dunno if it's true or not...

could be the construction of the violin itself. theyre not like guitar tuners which is very easy to tune. cheaper violins will have more problems.

i was referring to the tuning peg turning back after tryin to turn it. it might be loose as its only wood and the string tension can be pulling it back. some violins are very tight its scary to tune them

hi~ i play the violin.....the tradisional wood one..i have a german made in 1995 2nd hand and still with me now.thinking of buying a electronic violin to play in the church..any recommendation?

recommend string.   for newbie, more tahan.

dominant is one of the best brand.....one set of string would cost around rm120-200...but its more long lasting...there are two types..the normal and the soft string...soft string easier to break but more mellow sound...

my german violin i got it at good price..cause one of my teacher student got a new violin and didnt want it anymore..almost 4 years ago i brought it at 2500...which is preety good deal..i wanted an electronic cause church music with the electornic bass guitar and drums and easily drown the violin unless i play trio or duet...

use a microphone (a good condensor mic...i recommend any of the condensor AKGs)  to pick up the sound. And stand far away from the drums and bass. You can also use piezo pick ups. However a mixture of piezo and mic i find is the best. Electronic instruments tend to have a different sound...somehow...

Okay... ellox.
I play the rare one - Cello.

U can buy from EUROSTRING (kl) , most of violin part can found there~.
recommend string (Nylon type)

good string below 50? i don't think you can get a good string below that man...

the cheapest set of strings i bought was made in china and was about RM 25, from bentley.

well what can i say...the tone sucks...

what kind of violin do you guys use?

tuner NUT missing !! *does it came with like this when u buy?

Fingerings

hey,my violin Handmade in German cost RM5500. Is it expensive?? without certificate certify it...Antonio brand..I scare i kena tipu..

if there's no tuner nut means you can't fine tune...would be harder to tune the violin using just the peg

It's expensive. About RM10k above for one at least. Well, I don't have. I just said that I use Zeta to suit my favor.
