actually the oboe is quite simple to play...i guess that was due to continuous of 1 hour daily practice my band teacher have asked me to do (which was like 20 yrs ago ) the fingering on the oboe is quite similar on the clarinet...only that it has 2 octave key....if im not sure lah i guess i really have to rediscover that passion i once had for the oboe...

hello people..
im a beginner in violin..
i broke my bow yesterday..hahhaa
can anyone tell me how much does it cost and
where can i look for it in kuching?hehe

TQ guys!

how much your bow cost? where's the broken part?

if yours is under RM100, better get a new one. even if you have money to repair the bow, it's not worth it.

i can say it is broken at the tip...
no way it can be repaired..haha

ow how much a new bow cost?

because last time i bought mine
including the violin..2nd hand...
around rm200

the eagerness to play
made me bought them..haha

hmm it's better to buy a new one, i've had a bow broken at the tip there. even if you glue it on, it'll still come off sooner or later. if it's not a bow that cost a few thousands or even few hundreds, then get a new one. cheapest bow can go below rm100, but since you're into a new one, better get something in the rm200 range.

cant agree more with little ice:) if u r getting serious with ur violin invest in a good bow!

thanks guys...

Hey, since we're all string lovers here, just wondering if you guys have heard of Vitamin String Quartet.

They are a band who plays a diverse range of instruments but focuses mainly on strings such as viola and violins.

They play songs from other artists such as goo goo dolls, nickleback, yellowcard even paramore and my chemical romance.

Check them out on youtube and see what you think My current favourite is Hoobastank - The Reason

vitamin string quartet...insteresting.

sounds good to me, but in a too "serious" way for my taste, namely too classical in the playings.

i enjoy more of "vanilla mood", not exactly string quartet (1 violin 1 flute 1 cello 1 keyboard, sometime flute replaced with 2nd violin), and over-commercial for my taste. but their arrangements and playings are lovely.

Does anyone here have full Minuet 3 - JS bach music sheet for violin?

consider buying a hard copy (book)? head to music store and ask for the suzuki violin book volume 1, revised edition for international distribution. there's minuet 1~3, with CD included. not cheap, quoted RM42.90 at chamber music @ sungei wang.

or...just search around. this song is too famous, can be found easily i'm supposed.

guys can any of u recommend me....a violin for my lil sis -8 yrs old....shes kinda small-???....

im not supposed to post in here???
