lolz...i would put it more as a cello with the sound of a violin

Er hu is chinese' violin version. It has only two strings, that is D and A which is the 2nd and 3rd string from the violin.

yeah...it seems the chinese orchestra set it in the same place violins are supposed to be in a western orchestra,you like chinese orchestra paramore?

No, I prefer western orchestra. Wider set up.

lolz...i used to discriminate chinese orchestra,but after listening to the the Taipei chinese orchestra,love at first sound

Hi~^^
Im beginner in violin ~

That means your posture is wrong. Relax yourself, your whole self. Do not grip on the violin, do not press the fingerboard hard and make sure your bow control is firm. This require demonstration from your teacher.

Hi, welcome.

Hello ,

I am new here. My daughter 9 years old like to learn cello and she have no any music background before. She is about 4ft 5" , i need some of your expect opinion

1) what cello sizes should i buy for her as start/beginner for her height?
2) where can i get used cello in Malaysia preferable in selangor.

Looking forward to your feedback soon.

Thanks in advance

Bro, you can check out many music schools in yellow pages. They sell cellos for kids too. Cello players are in great demand cos there's too many violinists in malaysia. Look around and see if you dont believe. How many kids you know are learning cello?? HOW MANY ARE LEARNING VIOLIN??

Once your daughter grows up and IF she plays it well, she'll be so in demand..cos really....violinists outnumber Cellists like 10 to 1. Hard to find good cellists. I'm surprised you wanted your daughter to learn cello and not violin. Did someone advise you?

9 years old is considered a bit late to start...but better late than never. WHo knows...if she's very talented, she may catch up quickly. BUt you gotta push her to practise. If you as a father dont do that..dont expect any result. It's common sense.

I can recommend you a good cello teacher too. PM me.

Thanks a lot for your advise.

Actually i am a mother. She at first wanted to learn violin so i show her on You tube the different sound of violin and cello and then later she decided cello. I personally like the sound of cello but i never push or decide for my childrens what to learn but i let them decide instead. So recently she told me she want to learn a music instrument and ask her what she want , she said violin. So I provide her and let her listen a few instrument include yoyoma so she later on decided cello.

I have just enroll her class near my place and subang jaya on violin so now i have to change her to cello. The school do cello as well. i should have find out this forum so i will get some advise before i paid the registration. And still i try to get a used cello first for her to start and when she is serious and play well i would upgrade her instrument. However, need to look after my pocket as well ...

My elder daughter 10 yrs had guitar lesson for beginner but she stop and now she decided to go back again. She said she want drum lesson after her guitar . I have a Pearl drum set at home but kept in store. I learned drum but just few lesson then i stop due to my work and hard to practise at home without sound proof . Neighbour may not like it.

Anyway, thanks very much for your reply. cheers!
