How much for a Stradivarius? At that time the violin was sold at Christie's auction house in New York. This violin prices reaches 2 million U.S. dollars! Or, when administered exchange rate is now about 9.3 billion dollars! In fact according to the latest news of the highest auction price of U.S. $ 3,544,000 on the date of May 16, 2006. Fanstastic prices for a violin. What makes the Stradivarius violin has a very high price? This violin has a distinctive voice that has the beauty and mystery that is unmatched. The beauty of the sound of the violin is still a mystery. Why beauty Stradivarius violin still a mystery? Because many scientists are trying to create a duplicate of the Stradivarius violin by combining various science to make the same violin. But their efforts have not managed to make a violin the same. What affects the sound quality of a Stradivarius violin? Many factors affect the quality of the violin. One of them is the quality of the wood. The wood quality affected by the climate and the weather becomes a tree. The second factor is the age of the wood when it's getting longer while also meeting growing wood density. Violin wood density also affects the sound quality of the violin. Therefore, the second violin was not much more expensive than the price of the first buy. The third factor is designed by the violin maker Antonio Stradivari is the perfect fiddle with the geometry so as to produce a violin that produces crystal clear sound and volume are greatest. The violin has a history that is etched by Antonio Stradivari. Antonio Stradivari was born in 1644 in Cremona. He published a Stradivarius violin in 1698 and 1725. Antonio Stradivari has made more than 1101 instruments such as violin, guitar, viola, and cello. Roughly the last number only about 650 pieces. For violin only 100 pieces that survive today are recorded in the world. However, many counterfeiters Stradivarius to benefit himself. So if we are not careful will not be fooled by the "Stradivarius" is another.

Differences One Piece and Two Piece Violin

At this time I will share information about the violin one of the factors that affect the sound or quality of the violin apart from the type of wood used. One other factor is the way of making the violin. In making the violin there are 2 kinds of ways to make particular by: First, it can use 1 piece of wood (one piece) which directly crushed like the picture below. This violin is made of wood which directly cut 1.

Second, can use 2 pieces of wood are pressed together into one piece. Below is a sample image two piece violin. At the center of the violin can be seen between the 2 wood patch.

In general, he said one piece violin sound better than the two piece. Judging from the price of the violin one piece also generally more expensive than two piece. One piece violin making it harder than violin two piece. But do not rule out the violins sound better than the violin two piece and one piece.

Tips for Playing Violin

Learning the violin is not like learning school subjects in general. Require skills in addition to learning the violin though if the brain is also a muscle, or involve physical labor. Besides, it needs to be a strong willingness to learn the violin because it can not be learned in an instant. It should be at least 2 years for a student to be able to play the violin correctly. Same also like tutoring other instruments such as piano, organ, and so on. Pupils need to take the time to train themselves outside the hours of tutoring To be successful in playing the violin, there are a few things to note: The violin is used must conform to the anatomy of the body so it does not cause fatigue or pain in the limbs. In addition, the use of an appropriate size violin will cause the fingers of the left hand, which plays a role in sound production right, will be able to reach the appropriate places above the fingerboard. It will help in improving the sound generated in the production of violin playing. Avoid violin relatively too large compared to the body, otherwise violin yag too small an effect is not so bad, except if the player feel uncomfortable. Consult the right size with your teacher and ask for the appropriate pick. If you buy a violin from a musical instrument store, do not buy the suggested size shopkeeper. Keep abreast of the specified size of your teacher. The use of shoulder rest should be adapted to the circumstances. Some people who use the shoulder rest feel that the product is, otherwise some people are not comfortable with it. Because it must be determined based on need, not demand the teacher or just follow others. It is recommended to use some sort of thick cloth towel or a thick handkerchief tucked between violin and shoulder. Find a comfortable space and a little furniture and away from other people passing by. This is to provide quiet and comfortable atmosphere. Adjust room lighting so that the subject matter can be seen clearly. Adjust the room temperature from getting too cold or too hot. Avoid practicing outdoors, because the wind will blow training materials, or the sound will cause impaired concentration. Besides practicing in open spaces cause the player can not hear the sound of the violin itself well finger so that the control is not effective. Your success depends on how teachers teach you. Your teacher should be competent and skilled in the subject matter choose which are arranged in a clear systematics. Educational background of a teacher is not related to intelligence teachers in presenting the material. Conversely broad and long experience is the only real clue about the competence of a teacher. If possible, choose a teacher who has been teaching continuously more than 10 years. Consider the following: A violin teacher is a violinist, but not all violinists could be a good violin teacher. Always practice your violin playing at least 1 hour a week outside tutoring. 1 hour enough time to practice. The more, the better and the faster you master the violin. If you've learned about 2 years old, look amateur music group which has vacant positions for violinist and join there. Or if the school / college you are sort of orchestra teenagers, do not hesitate to join. Do not forget to consult with your teacher about the music group suitable for you. By playing with others in a sort of orchestral music group or ensemble, will accelerate the development of your game. But it must be kept in mind, that does not mean you are joining attention to your violin lessons less. Les violin remains as your primary place to develop your game. If you need to ask your teacher pick out the game and play with your duet during tutoring takes place. And most important: You must have a strong motivation to learn the violin. Motivate yourself to learn the violin is considered an investment for the future. Practical skills such as playing the violin is helping us in the future, a time when the knowledge gained in formal education (schools) do not help us much. Besides, would not it be better to have a skill than nothing.

Benefits Learning Violin

Self-taught, <a href="http://mmusic-zone.blogspot.com/search?q=piano" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">piano</a> and <a href="http://mmusic-zone.blogspot.com/search?q=guitar+" target="_blank">guitar </a>can be learned simply by looking at someone else play. But when we are faced with a musical instrument that does not have a grip (such as those limiting the tone on the guitar), the biggest question layman is "how to ring a tune? it no grip? ", is a uniqueness that is actually a challenge. 
 
Through this web blog, I try to share information to friends who want to learn to play the violin but do not have a clue as a guide. What is described here is a way to teach my (development of my teachers), the combined (summed) with a number of methods from a variety of sources. 
 
However, a basic guide to learning to play the violin here is restricted only for teenagers and adults. While children under the age of adolescence, I suggest to have / find a teacher. 
 
You should be able to distinguish high and low tones in the tone trajectories of the most basic is "solmisasi" or "do-re-mi-fa-so-la-si-do", which is referred to as scales. The assumption, my friends I think is already quite understand notation of numbers, and could (not proficient) to hear and rang back with his own voice (singing) how the tone sounds do, re, mi, ... and so on. 
 
Difficulties in playing the violin lies in the coordination of body movements and complicated custody. Great benefits that can be obtained by developing the coordination system, we can develop the parietal lobe motor areas (Brodmann area 4) our right brain. In the brain there are indentations that are signs of increased surface area of the brain called the dentate. The more numerous and complicated gyrus is formed, the growing our brains. 
 
Satisfaction derived from excess shows we will relieve our boredom in studying music instrument. Next, you have to make the target in each exercise, as it will clarify the purpose of your practice.

Bass is also a great instrument that measures the height of more than 6 feet. Because Bass are very high, the bass player had to stand or sit on the bench while playing. 
 
Double bass violin evolved since the 1500s. Many shapes and sizes have been made for ease in playing bass. You can see the bass player behind the cello, the right <a href="http://mmusic-zone.blogspot.com/2012/10/zubin-mehta.html">conductor</a>. 
 
Agency instrument is hollow, so being a resonating box for the sound to match. Four strings (sometimes five on kontrabass) got made of silk, nylon, steel or fiber wrapped palms points below or above, there is no limit of the instrument and connected with another tailpiece. They stretched tightly across a bridge to produce a point tone / pitch assigned to them. 
 
Kontrabass, or bass guitar is the instrument of the lowest and most in stringed instruments. Kontrabass shoulders are rounded instead of square shoulders like other stringed instruments. Because of its size, the player is standing or sitting in a high chair to play .. 
 
As a member of the stringed instrument that has a very low voice, in a simple range or coverage area on the instruments Double Bass tone is the tone of E1 to C. Simply put, the area coverage violin tone can be described as follows.

Cello Instrument History

Cello developed from the bass violin, which at first Jambe de Fer refer to the year 1556, which is actually an instrument with three strings. A composer's first specifies bass violin is in sacrae symphoniae Gabrieli, 1597. Monteverdy later followed in his footsteps by reference to instruments "basso de viola da braccio" in Orfeonya (1607). Although the first bass violin created by Amati in early 1548, inspired by a viol, which was created as a violin solo. Bass violin is usually known as a "violone" or "large viola". Instrument is then played together in an art show in Italy at the beginning of the 15th century. String form of wire found in Bologna about the year 1660 that allows the creation of a better bass sound using strings of animal intestine in the body a short instrument. However, this instrument still has some drawbacks. Weak cello sound is less suited to be played in the stage show as well as in the church and should be coated with the bass or violin. Although <a href="http://mmusic-zone.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-cello.html">the cello</a> has many similarities to the viola da gamba, the cello is actually part of the viola da braccio types, meaning "viol hand" which among others include <a href="http://mmusic-zone.blogspot.com/2012/10/musical-instruments-viola.html">violin and viola</a>. And patterns such as "The Rustic Wedding" and de Fer Bruegel's work in music Epitome shows that the violin can be played in a variety of positions, which are also considered more practical and ergonomic than gamba. Cello in a different era of <a href="http://mmusic-zone.blogspot.com/2012/09/history-of-music.html">Baroque</a><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7654873805382551583"> music</a> with modern instruments in a variety of ways. The neck has a different form and angle. Modern cellos have an endopin on the bottom that allows you to sustain (and a voice through the medium of the floor), while Baroque cellos music era of the calves supported only by the cellist. Modern arc curving into and held in the joints, while the Baroque music era arc curved out and held on the balance point is approached. Modern strings normally have a metal core, although some of them use a synthetic core; stringed Baroque era music using materials from animal gut, with the G and C strings wire-wound using a string. Modern Cello usually has five tuners connecting the strings to the edges, which makes tuning. In general, the modern instrument has high tension strings are better than cello Baroque music era, which makes producing a louder, stronger voice and a more minimal overtones. Before the 18th century no educational work on cello, and when it was there, the artists became inspired to explore the potential of the technique to play them.

Mozart in Sinfonia Concertante for Violin, Viola and Orchestra in Es major, wrote the viola part in D major and requested that the viola strings raised a semi-tone. The goal is to produce a better sound viola so not drowned out by the other instruments in the ensemble. In under certain circumstances, can be tuned to C string tone D. 
 
At the beginning of <a href="http://mmusic-zone.blogspot.com/2012/10/what-is-orchestra.html">the orchestra</a>, the viola is often limited to the harmony game with little melodic material. When used in the melodic viola, often arranged in unisono or octaves, the strings everywhere, except at the Brandenburg Concerto No.. 6 of J.S. Bach, who put two violas in a melodic role. The work is for two violas, one cello, 2 violas de gamba, and continuo. An example of the work before the 20th century featuring solo viola part is Harold in Italy works of Hector Berlioz. The role of viola is also found in several works of the <a href="http://mmusic-zone.blogspot.com/2012/10/structural-form-sonata-allegro.html">Baroque </a>and Classical concerti. 
 
Mozart succeeded in liberating this instrument from its role in the six string quintets of his works which are some of his works. The quintet-quintet use two violas, which frees viola, especially the first one, for solo passages and increases the variety and richness<a href="http://mmusic-zone.blogspot.com/2012/09/music-ensemble.html"> ensemble</a>, viola get a balanced role with the <a href="http://mmusic-zone.blogspot.com/2012/10/history-of-violins.html">violin</a>. 
 
Felix Mendelssohn also wrote a <a href="http://mmusic-zone.blogspot.com/2012/10/history-of-sonata-as-form-of-classical.html">sonata for viola</a> in C minor are very famous (without opus number, in 1824). This work has a beautiful melody among his early works, but it is quite surprising that this work is very rarely played in concert indoors. Sometimes viola has a major role in <a href="http://mmusic-zone.blogspot.com/2012/10/the-types-of-orchestra.html">orchestral music</a>, as contained in the Enigma Variations by Edward Elgar, often called "Ysobel". William Walton, Bohuslav Martinu, and Béla Bartók wrote works for viola concerto, which later became famous. 
 
One of the composers who wrote quite a lot of music for the viola was Paul Hindemith. He is a viola player who often brings his compositions premiere itself. Additionally Ernest Bloch, composer America, born Switzerland is famous for its works inspired by Jewish music. He wrote two famous works for viola ie Hebraique Suite 1919 and Suite for viola solo and orchestra. 
 
Viola is sometimes used in contemporary popular music, the avant-garde stream. <a href="http://mmusic-zone.blogspot.com/2012/09/history-of-jazz-music.html">Jazz music</a> is also interested in cooperation with the violinist, in the early 1900s to a full quartet and soloist, occurred from 1960 to the present. However viola rarely used by most folk musicians around the world. 
 
Depth research on the use of the viola in folk music was made by Dr. Lindsay Aitkenhead. The players in this type of music is Cath James, David Lasserson, Eliza Carthy, Mary Ramsey, Ben Ivitsky, Gina Le Faux, Helen Bell, Jayne Coyle, Jim O'Neill, Jim Wainwright, Lindsay Aitkenhead, Mark Emerson, Miranda Rutter, Nancy Kerr, Pete Cooper and Susan Heeley. Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown was the viola's most prominent exponent of the blues genre.

Musical Instruments Viola

Violin Alto or Viola, has a history similar to the violin. Materially the same viola, with a <a href="http://mmusic-zone.blogspot.com/2012/10/history-of-violins.html">violin</a> but bigger and proportion-proportion is varies. The overall size viola length is between one and four inches longer than the violin, that is 16 inches or 14 cm. Viola small for children, length up to 12 inches or 30 cm the tone is one Kwint point lower than the violin and is usually used as an instrument of harmony, both in the string ensemble and symphony orchestra. Viola gives the impression of bleak and tone in the effect that shows sadness, melancholy song on the character. 
 
Viola held in a way, put the back of the table under the chin, and leaning on his shoulder. Viola is bigger and tuned well tuned one Kwint from one string to string it down. Viola has a warmer tone quality and darker than the violin. Viola is the tone of the coverage area of the tone C (read: small c) to D2 (read: d two). 
 
Various experiments have been done to improve the quality of  viola sound. Among the viola maker is Hermann Rutter's with the "viola alta ', a viola size dummy is 18.9 inches or 48 cm. The instrument was designed for operas of Richard Wagner. Viola Tetis models wider with deeper ribs, designed to achieve a better sound, this is a non-standard size.

Experiments acoustic viola contribute to sound quality approaching cello sound. Viola size larger and heavier than the violin technical consequences are more difficult or challenging. Many violinists who played for several months, an increase technical when back on the violin. The four strings tuned in Kwint viola. Tuning this really is a kwin under violin, and an octave above the cello. Four strings tuned to the note C, an octave below middle C, while the next three lower strings tuned higher to G, D, and A. Third tone than C is also present in the violin. Although there are three tone tuned the same as a violin, but the quality of sound different tones and colors. 
 
Most of the viola as well as other stringed instruments have adjuster or a fine tuner, which is used to ensure tuning. This tool can adjust string tension by turning a small knob on the device located on the fastening end of the other strings at the bottom of the table, on the tail piece. Tuning the adjuster is much easier than with the tuning peg. Although it can be used on all four strings viola, but generally only used to tune the strings A.

The Voice and Violin Register

The best characteristics of the violin is a whizzing sound and can be played quickly, can be played with such good melodies for the lyrics of the song. Try creating a nice effect with the following techniques: <ul>
<li>Using a finger without a stick, by plucking the strings; with repeat the same tone or two-tone with quickly, rub the stick on the strings quickly.</li>
<li>Sul panticello, playing with sticks juxtaposed with his camp to produce a lighter sound, a sound like glass.</li>
<li>Col legno, playing with sticks of wood; harmony, by putting the fingers of the right hand on certain parts of the strings to produce a sound that is light, such as the sound of the flute.</li>
<li>Glissando, regular glide of a finger left hand up and down</li>
<li>Strings to produce the tone up and down.</li>
</ul>
Register violin is the highest among stringed instruments, from the tone G (read: small g) to C3 (read: c three). <a href="http://mmusic-zone.blogspot.com/2012/10/history-of-violins.html">Violin</a> held horizontally, the left rear end of the violin section, between the lower jaw bone. The left arm slightly pressed towards the neck, between the thumb and finger joints are long, so that the body of the violin facing toward the audience. Left hand fingers to press the strings, slightly forward. Speed of the fingers to press and release the string will distinguish the sound alignment (corresponding to vibrational clarity). The movement of the fingers is not only vertically but thoroughly so as to play nice with all the finger or fingers are different, the tone is full or half tones can be generated. To produce a chord, obtained by pressing the two strings together and rubbing. 
 
Fingers of the left hand were the symbol numbers 1 to 4.Nomor. Number one for the index finger, 2 for the middle finger, 3 for the ring finger, and 4 for the little finger. Mastery of technique change position quickly and smooth depends  fingering on the strength of his chin and shoulder, as both independent presses and hand tool can move easily along the neck of the violin.
