I see..

Well well..

I think most of us knows who is Antonio Stradivari. LoL!

Hey! I am curious, where did you brought your Czech violin?

RM100 is totally impossible. RM300 are the cheapest one I saw. Those RM200 ones are unacceptable, worst than Kapok guitars.

Ohh..I see. You have not tell us how is your Czech treating you?

Buy just the violin bow then. Just RM45 from Woh Fatt.

Hmmmm...willing to sell it to me if I want it?

Can anyone here introduce any nice and affordable violin outfit?

You mean Euro Music? No, I have not.

LoL! Okay, I have been missing too. College started + work. I wanted to know the price so I can prepare the cash before going for violin shopping.

It is not safe to bring a lot of cash, I have no credit card.

An average. Oh ya, thank you.

Well, maybe they will accept debit card. We will see how. Yes, it will be for a long term use. Anyway, set as you mean the violin, outfit and bow or just the outfit?

If it is just outfit for RM1k, that is madness.

Lose it's curve and it will damage the hair at the same time.

Well I think you can change chin rest only. You should bring it to some violin luthier to have a look on your violin since it was dropped. The materials inside your violin (such as sound post) might be lose it's position or something.

Shakings are normal to every violinist. If your bow is not good or damage, it will affect your playing such as shaking. I advise you to control your bow smoothly. Ask your teacher to help you with that, if not you should buy a new bow (only with teacher's advise).

Yes, just the outfit. RM500, still a lot unless it is really a very good outfit and worth the money.

I expect to put 4 bows, more space for accessories and a very big sheet music pocket!

LoL! I know it is crazy and yes, some collection. Country fiddle players need a different bow. I am hoping to put 4 bows on it but when I got I will not use up all 4. I saw some outfit can really put up to 4 bows.

Ya! I do not want to get those sheet music pocket that jutting the sides of the paper. It is annoying when I take out my music to play. Feels it like a dead paper.

I wonder do the outfits have brands just like KUN for shoulder rest.

Yes, sound post is actually a piece of wood. Can be anything else, no one can give you the exact answer here unless you bring it to a violin luthier.

I think you need to relax when playing violin. For your left fingers, you do not need to press the notes hard. Every notes violinist press does not have to be hard and we all play it smoothly. The violin will not hurt you, you are controlling the violin so all you have to do is relax.

Well well, as said country music for violin needs a different bow. Some for rock music and etc.. a lot.

Keep on practicing, your playing will be just fine.

You are welcome.

I hope there is more people picking up viola. It is sometimes a shame for an orchestra to have very few violist.

Cheap violins like Skylark with cheap bow and bad rosin = screeching like a whistle.

Especially on the first string, very annoying.

I would recommend Valencia violins that Woh Fatt sells. It is better than Skylark two times. Price is about RM50 more.

Questioning Fact: Genuine handmade violin at least RM5, 000?

Hmmm..I mean new ones.

I do not know if Woh Fatt let you try it out or not. It is quite a solid violin after all.

Okayokayokay.

*goes off to do music theory work*

LoL! I wish I could conduct music, I love theory.
