Choosing the Ideal violin bridges - The Buying Guide
Is a copy of a Stradivarius worth anything?
Anywhere from $50 to $50,000 depending on its maker. The vast majority of violins are copies of some Stradivarius or another; most aren't marked as such. (In fact, I suspect many violin makers don't realize that the shapes they're using were created by careful measurement of a Stradivarius.)
How do I choose a violin bridge?
A good quality bridge should have a longer grain of wood on the front, or the side that faces the fingerboard. On the back, it should have a shorter grain. A trained luthier may be necessary when dealing with violin bridges, as the bridge is a very sensitive part of the violin.
Why is playing violin so tiring?
That's pretty normal. Playing violin uses a bunch of muscles that don't get used as much in ordinary everyday activities, and they get tired.
Is 70 too old to learn violin?
Anyone can learn to play the violin, at any age. Mastering a new skill, regardless of what it is, always involves desire, discipline and determination; and learning violin is no different. Your age does have a factor in how quickly you'll be able to adapt to the instrument.
Does violin bridge affect sound?
Your violin bridge and soundpost are parts that greatly affect the overall violin's sound. They need to be in good shape to get the best sound out of your violin.
Why does a Stradivarius sound so good?
And thanks to the decomposition over time of a wood component called hemicellulose, the Stradivari and Guarneri instruments used in the study had 25 percent less water than modern instruments. "This is fundamentally important because the less moisture, the more brilliant the sound," Nagyvary told The New York Times.
When should I change my violin bridge?
If the bridge is warped then it will need to be replaced. A warped bridge is not only inhibiting the sound of the instrument, but it is also at risk of breaking. If the strings have worn deeply into the crown of the bridge then the. bridge needs to be replaced.
Do violins need f-holes?
The researchers found that a key feature affecting a violin's sound is the shape and length of its “f-holes,” the f-shaped openings through which air escapes: The more elongated these are, the more sound a violin can produce.
Which violin bridge is best?
Listed below are our Top 10 Best Violin Bridges for 2023:
- Aubert VB-7 Select Figured Violin Bridge – 4/4 Size.
- YMC Violin-Bridge-4/4- 2PC Maple Violin Bridges.
- Lsgoodcare 10pcs Full Size 4/4 Violin Maple Bridge Violin Parts.
- Cremona VP-204 4-star Violin Bridge.
- Barcus Berry 1320B Electric Violin Bridge.
Can you play a violin without a bridge?
If your violin doesn't have a bridge, it is just not playable. Don't even try to wind up the strings to tension. The instrument is not designed to hold the tension between the neck and the tailpiece alone.
Why are f-holes shaped like F?
Standardizing on the current f-shape started about the beginning of the eighteenth century when the development of the violin was mostly complete. The f-hole is said to have been created when violin makers carved a section out of the middle of the S-hole to indicate the position of the bridge on the body.
How often should I change my violin bridge?
While there is not much more fun than making a bridge, there's nothing more frustrating than having to replace one. If properly cared for, they can last a lifetime—or several lifetimes, in fact. I see bridges cut 50 years ago at the long-shuttered Wurlitzer, or even older, from the Hill shop.
