Hi everyone I'm kinda new here in this forum, I wanted to learn violin, anyone here could recommend a reputable place for this? I'm from PJ near SS2, and what should I know and do before starting to learn it?

Hi guys, can anyone of you recommend me a shop where i can change my violin strings and bridge and provides violin tuning? I learned violin last time for about 2 years before i stopped to further my studies, and now i wanted to play my violin again and its terribly out of tune, did try tuning it using the online violin tuner but i think i'm suck at it, coz no matter how i tune it, its just doesnt sound right..

Every violin shop does that. Check up the violin shop list on the first post of this thread.

Hi guys. I'd like to take up the electric violin later this year... is it recommended to start with a normal violin first? Any recommendations for shops/classes in KL?

Thanks for the info bro.. got any recommended violin teacher or classes around puchong, thinking of learning back violin...

read through previous page (pg 53)...

added Maestrol:) to the violinist list.welcome to the family

IMO, always start learning with a normal violin as electric violins are made to imitate traditional violins.

Thanks Kimmie.... that's very sweet of you!

Well, I normally use Electric Violin only for gigs and performances with my students.
You can check out some pictures here @ www.kiddyspot.com/thecat

Other than that, use an acoustic violin. It definitely sound more romantic too!

Having a very old instrument does not mean it will sound good. Just as there are good and bad new instruments...same goes for old instruments.

The sound is way above average, though not excellent. The physical appearance is not so good though. I'd wish the thing would smell better.

am I the only violist here? =( sad sad. Anyways, thinking of getting a better viola, any recommendation where to get one? KL-cheras area. =)

There are way too many Violinists in the world. Not enough Violists and Cellists. The most in demand now are Violinists and Cellists in Malaysia. In Malaysia there are so many Violinists....nothing surprising anymore.

Be proud that you play Viola. Just make sure you can read alto clef properly la.hehehe....
