Hello, i'm new to string world. just bought cheap violin (for beginner) last year's November from Amadeus Violin, PJ. my violin brand is China made called Synwyn. then i straightly changed to new string n the brand is Vision (euro string) which recommended by the owner there. i was seldomly practicing since i bought the violin due to busy-ness during college time. now i wnt to start practice back n wanted to chnge new strings since the old strings already torn away. now i wud like to ask ur opinion what brand of string is good?

last time i bought it for RM120...

I see, then the Pirastro Tonica is the next step you would really want to try.

After that, you might want to consider gut strings. The Pirastro Passione, the highest quality strings (well... this is a subjective matter). biggrin.gif

actually, i dnt care any string i use as long as it can match the sound that i used to hear frm my current torn string. one of the string already snapped away then i put back the original string that came along with the violin. but i try to tune (eventhough i dnt know), but still i cant find the tune i want. i tried adjusting the know frm the 'loose' part until the 'max' part. still cannot get the sound. i dnt know y.

I see. Well, you can still hear a difference when you change to a new one because it's new.

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.
*
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.

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.

The piano keyboard layout was created based on the major scale formula:

"TONE, TONE, semitone, TONE, TONE, TONE, semitone"

Anyone here knows where can I find a violin shop that offers installment/loan payment of purchasing a higher range violin model?
