seriously ... i was planning to learn violin.
can anyone please recommend me a good beginner violin brand?
there's too many violins from china. and i don like it.

hey guys any recommendation where to get violin scores?

Yes, too many beginner violins from China but how you know you don't like it?

If you want something good, I can recommend you a shop in Puchong. Only if you are around that area.

Music store? Original scores are definitely better.

owh , i see.
is it the House of Violin?
I was told by chienx. haha

No, definitely not. PM me if you are really interested.

you'll not get anything other than china made, especially under RM1000.

labels are just labels, nowadays even german RM4000 violins are half china made half finish in german (or not even german!).

you know, even branded stuffs are mostly made in china...

okay. i understood more bout it. hahahaha. thanks

In fact...anything under Rm5000 nowadays are China made.

Hello.

I currently feel uncomfortable holding my violin. It's my shoulder rest, it moves around when I'm playing. So can anyone recommend me a good shoulder rest?

Thanks!

FOM shoulder rest, going for RM30~RM40 depends on location. it's the KUN imitation that has been selling for years.

I just bought Eurostring violin from Euro Music. The sound is definitely better than student violin. It was around 1.5k as I cant afford to get better violin. But still i love it. Thanks little ice for recommending the shop

Btw, I`m having difficulties in playing a song, there is this part where i have to play f natural, f sharp, g natural and g sharp (ascending),.all are quavers. The problem is i tend to glide my finger from f natural to f sharp, and g natural to g sharp. I hope i can play well as this is an ensemble. Thanks

talking about D string root position?

it's normal to glide that way, and no problem if you're playing seperate bow. if you need to slur all that, use 2nd position, 1st finger on f natural, 2/F#, 3/G, 4/G#. it's another fingering for chromatic scales other than the easier finger gliding.

hey guys, i plan to take cello as 2nd instrument in uni. I wan to ask, how much usually a normal cello would cost... and how much is the fees for lessons?

Thanks !

A beginner cello will cost from RM1,300 to RM1,700. But if you can afford more than that, it's always better.

I think the fees will be the same with most other instruments.

Can you elaborate on how you think violin is easier than woodwinds and brass? I've been hearing violin is difficult as you have to learn the fingering plus have good hearing(pitch). I am thinking of picking up a second instrument but still undecided between flute, trombone or violin.

i tried flute, saxaphone, trumpet.

compared to those, violin was an instant love. i can play something decent right away, but i can't for winds/brass.

you have to love the instrument, don't let people tell you which is easier or suitable, only you will know which one.

I`m playing separate bow. Cuz i`m worried it will sounds weird. I will glide then. Thank you little ice lolx

"Nothing is easy"
