ViolinSmart Full Size 4/4 Violin

ViolinSmart Full Size 4/4 Violin Review



ViolinSmart Full Size 4/4 Violin Feature

  • New Violin 4/4 Full Size Natural Color
  • Maple sides and back
  • Spruce top, ebony colored pegs
This Mighty Instrument violin is ideal for the beginning musician. It features maple wood back and sides, pear wood fingerboard and four fine tuners. It also includes a genuine horse hair wood bow, rosin and a featherweight carrying case with strap and carrying handle. Accessory colors/style may vary. Here are some hints to help keep your violin in tune: 1. Although the violins come with a bridge, it is not installed. Installing a bridge should is not difficult, but if you have a problem, please email us. The bridge has to be installed for the violin to play correctly. 2. Strings do tend to slip and lose their tune on a new violin because they need to stretch. If this happens, just give it time. The strings just need time to settle in. 3. If the violin pegs keep slipping, try to push the peg in while turning it. If they still dont stay in, peg drops are available at most music stores. They are relatively inexpensive and should help the pegs stay in. 4. If a strand of hair breaks on the bow, take a pair of nail clippers and cut it from the frog (bottom of the bow) or the top of the bow. A few hairs are bound to fall out with play. Remember to rub a little rosin (included) on the bow before playing. This is a great violin to get started with. And at this price it is an unbeatable value.

Thomastik Dominant 3/4 Size Violin Strings, 3/4 D String

Thomastik Dominant 3/4 Size Violin Strings, 3/4 D String Review



Thomastik Dominant 3/4 Size Violin Strings, 3/4 D String Feature

  • Durable and economical
  • High quality, low price
  • Be prepared with an extra set
  • Made by Dominant
  • From instruments to accessories Shar has it all
Comparable in sound to gut, without gut's disadvantage. These strings have a highly flexible, multi-strand nylon core and cater to artists who feel uncomfortable with steel strings. The resounding success of the Dominant string owes a lot to its similarity in tone and response to gut strings, without gut's inherent drawbacks.The sound of the Dominant string is full and mellow, yet rich in overtones. Its radiance, its ability to project sound without being metallic, comes to the fore both in arco and pizzicato. Other advantages are Dominant's effortless response to intricate fingering and its tuning stability even under extreme atmospheric conditions. But Dominant's beauty of tone is not as long-lasting as that of a steel string, a price the discerning musician will be prepared to pay for this quality of sound. Dominant strings should be changed at appropriate intervals to ensure continuity of tone color
