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?

oh really? then i got someone hav the same violin brand here.

but mine is the cheapest one. RM3++ i think. i just learned frm the book which i bought the same time i bought the violin. cant afford to hire a tutor though. n i kept referring to youtube video for smthing that i dnt understand in the book. the tutor in the youtube is ProfessorV.

haha...since mine is the cheapest one. 4/4 size

n it's written there Anno: 2008 Aug (manufacture i think).

model SV441005,

string: Thomastik Infeld, Vision. VI100 Medium synthetic core. (not the original string came out with the Synwin. replaced during the time bought)

last time i bought it for RM120...

dnt scold me... how wud i know. i'm an ultra beginner. wanna start violin at the age of 21 now 22. love violin since i was 13 but i came frm a standard fmly so i dnt hav money to buy during that time.

so in my college's life, i collect money n my budget was RM500. since i especially reserved the money just to buy violin then i settled all the money

for violin, chin rest, new strings n a book+cd to learn by myself. the instructor recommended me a new string then i just agreed since still got money.

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.

how long hav u been playing violin?

i c... i bought this violin but seldom playing it due to a lot of assignments n problems during college life so dnt hav time to even look at my violin. so now i'm super free. so how u learn to play? got instructor?

how much u pay per month? n what's ur fvrt piece?

yeah that's y cant wait to chnge string but dunno when. but when i hear Stradivari violin, y the sound totally different? the sound that i called 'genius'.

thnx for the link. now i knw it smthing special but new era had came with smthng similar... with greatness of today's engineering.
