yeah...what a pity,he could have easily won over all those over rated luthiers of his time...

kimmie,any recommendations for violin shops at your area?your living in malaysia or singapore now?

np! thx little ice! heard alot bout euro music,really need to check the place out,but to get there is a little irritating,but i've heard that hartamas shops selling it quite expensive than the usual price though,true?
looking for sometin like what kerazul talked about,i find commercialization and malaysian tax killing me often

i usually juz blame it all on commercialization,why...?god why commercialize music...?WHY!?
gettin emo now,but i think i wouldnt mind spending extra on violins,you should see how much i splurge on PC,with the total i could have bought 2 antique violin already

size too...
i have 1 extra violin bow...but its for a small violin

sry guyz,have been sick the whole week,kinda cruel joke on me since im having my holiday this week...
my 1st small violin was from china,second was nameless hahah....no joke man...but my sis love it, my sis now,shes owning a Czech made too...bought by our teacher,dont ask me,dont know where she got it,sounds great,gotta love the czech hahah....but my sis still struggling to master it,i think its because shes not used to the sound yet...

been to eurostrings to check already?

i think its best if you go check at the recomended stores and try them,i havent done any violin shopping lately,so i dont know the basic price for them currently...kerazul seems to be missing lately too,must be the exams

uh?best is you get to the max,thats what i do
but usually if youre looking for full set,1k should be enough...
you want average or student set?

if im not mistaken,most stores accept debit card?that means using your atm card to charge...
average would cost you somewhere near 500++
still think that you should prepare 1k...coz an average set you would be utilizing it for a period of time right?so get a better one...and better ones cost you

if im not mistaken its the hair,it shortens the lifespan i think...but both is true...the bow IS wooden...it tends to bend made by the tension

Lolz! the music god must really love you...but check it properly,see if the sound is effected or not...its normal to feel emo...i remember dropping my handmade classical guitar before...brand new that time,it was kinda like a short stab to your heart

no idea >.< coz im having that prob after not playing for sometime...i guess practicing more and try to improve your bowing skills would do the job,i dont know how to explain the method...i tried catching the right preasure to put on the string and glide properly...or your fingers are shaking when you play?

4 bows??!!
why do you need 4 bows?its your whole collection? so far ive seen cases with two...i havent seen 1 with 4 yet
500 is all you need,get something rectangular to put in more notes,i remember my triangular one...gotta stuff the notes in and the books keep jutting out at the side...

collections eh...
i think the best is you can find someone to customize it...but i dont know who can do it... coz the basic ones they usually sell are the normal ones...

man...gotta salute you paramore,i havent even try to think of going rock on my violin

np,just glad there are more people picking up violins

oh yea...that day i was talking to my friend bout the sound,some dude just came and talk how bad the violin screech was...i was like,dude,do you even play violin? man...

lolz...usually instead of getting a beginners violin like skylark,i would rather keep enough cash to get a handmade higher average violin...but its good to exp lower end violins first so you can differentiate the sounds

get second hand ones are around 2k+...
Velencia eh?havent try it yet...

oh...if you need help on second hand violins i could help you to ask around,back in contact with my previous music teacher already...

man...i hate theory...
