  • Prusaprinters
    The JAx Violin (Dragon) 3D MODEL ONLY J JAx VIEW IN BROWSER updated 17. 1. 2021 | published 17. 1. 2021 Summary Updated and enhanced in every way. Smoother edges and sleeker lines than my previous violins, but everything is still backwards compatible. I think you're going to love every angle of this one. As always, the shape follows the traditional Stradivarius shape, so if you want to use traditional chin rests or shoulder rests you can. UPDATE: Added 2 Fingerboard version for larger bed printers that avoids a seam in the fingerboard. “Full” which fits PRUSA and LONG which is the original length but needs an even bigger bed than a PRUSA. This is not a critical option in the end; but a number of people have requested the option so I've been trying to get it designed and tested. I like the result. Thank you to Autotilt for the inspiration. Now Available completely assembled on Etsy as well, due to popular demand: https://www.etsy.com/listing/687390452/the-jax-dragon-violin Tip your designers, tip your waiters, but hug your mom and dad. Since I was designing another one of these violins, I figured I'd try to make it as light as possible. Figured the optional 3D printed screw on chin rest and pivoting shoulder rest would allow the Lower Bout to not need as much heft. Plus less things to buy. After assembling it, I'm happy to report that it is definitely possible to get it close to as light as a traditional acoustic or a well manufactured electric violin.

Any ensemble can be prepared to execute accurate notes and rhythms, produce quality tone and pitch, demonstrate phrasing and dynamics, and ultimately deliver a polished performance with appropriate style and interpretation with only six or seven minutes of preparation. by Teresa Maclin Improving Intonation with Tambura Drones: 26 Hearing While Playing A crucial yet elusive aspect of playing a string instrument is the ability to play in tune. Music students possess a deep-seated recognition of the correct pitches of the notes of major and minor scales, a sensitivity gained by being surrounded with western tonal music from birth. It is an interesting phenomenon that many music students can easily recognize when others play out of tune, yet have difficulty recognizing their own inaccuracies. by Paul Erhard Exploring Pre-Bowing Exercises: The Search for a 34 Definition and its Application One of the most challenging aspects of teaching beginner-level strings is determining how to introduce students to the bow.

  • Violin, I the Instrument, Its Technique and Its Repertory in Oxford Music Online
    14.3.2011 Violin, §I: The instrument, its techniq… Oxford Music Online Grove Music Online Violin, §I: The instrument, its technique and its repertory article url: http://www.oxfordmusiconline.com:80/subscriber/article/grove/music/41161pg1 Violin, §I: The instrument, its technique and its repertory I. The instrument, its technique and its repertory 1. Introduction. The violin is one of the most perfect instruments acoustically and has extraordinary musical versatility. In beauty and emotional appeal its tone rivals that of its model, the human voice, but at the same time the violin is capable of particular agility and brilliant figuration, making possible in one instrument the expression of moods and effects that may range, depending on the will and skill of the player, from the lyric and tender to the brilliant and dramatic. Its capacity for sustained tone is remarkable, and scarcely another instrument can produce so many nuances of expression and intensity. The violin can play all the chromatic semitones or even microtones over a four-octave range, and, to a limited extent, the playing of chords is within its powers. In short, the violin represents one of the greatest triumphs of instrument making. From its earliest development in Italy the violin was adopted in all kinds of music and by all strata of society, and has since been disseminated to many cultures across the globe (see §II below). Composers, inspired by its potential, have written extensively for it as a solo instrument, accompanied and unaccompanied, and also in connection with the genres of orchestral and chamber music. Possibly no other instrument can boast a larger and musically more distinguished repertory, if one takes into account all forms of solo and ensemble music in which the violin has been assigned a part.

  • The Infinite Virtual Violin
    1 Chapter Three THE INFINITE VIRTUAL VIOLIN The Deconstructed Violin Reconstructed She was quiet awhile and then said, Many a night when I was little, alone in that cabin, I wished I could take that fiddle of his up to the jump-off and pitch it and let the wind fly it away. In my mind I'd just watch it go till it was just a speck , and then I'd think about the sweet sound it would make breaking to pieces on the river rocks way down below. from Cold Mountain, by Charles Frazier.1 from Reinventing the Violin by Daniel Trueman ©Daniel Trueman 1999 All Rights Reserved 1Frazier, 423. 2 The grit of rosined horse-hair forcing a string to oscillate is one of the most treasured features of all the violins discussed so far. Schubert's subtle articulations and weighty quadruple stops, Corelli's cantabile lines and string crossings, Mark Wood's heavy-metal distortion, and my own "e-fiddle" tunes are all ultimately dependent on this frictional relationship. What would it mean to play the violin without this dependence? What would it mean to draw the bow across the string and hear sounds that are not acoustically motivated by the induced oscillations? What kind of music would we make with such a violin and what aesthetic tendencies would this violin have? What possible forms could this violin assume? The number of questions I could pose in this vein is seemingly infinite. Pondering any one of them ultimately leaves me feeling overwhelmed by the possibilities and the lack of precedents.

  • History of the Violin
    History of the Violin Batchelder violin (USA) The earliest stringed instruments were mostly plucked (the Greek lyre). Bowed instruments may have originated in the equestrian cultures of Central Asia, an example being the Kobyz (Kazakh: қобыз) or kyl-kobyz is an ancient Turkic, Kazakh string instrument or Mongolian instrument Morin huur: Turkic and Mongolian horsemen from Inner Asia were probably the world’s earliest fiddlers. Their two-stringed upright fiddles were strung with horsehair strings, played with horsehair bows, and often feature a carved horse’s head at the end of the neck. The violins, violas, and cellos we play today, and whose bows are still strung with horsehair, are a legacy of the nomads. It is believed that these instruments eventually spread to China, India, the Byzantine Empire and the Middle East, where they developed into instruments such as the erhu in China, the rebab in the Middle East, the lyra in the Byzantine Empire and the esraj in India. The violin in its present form emerged in early 16th-Century Northern Italy, where the port towns of Venice and Genoa maintained extensive ties to central Asia through the trade routes of the silk road. The modern European violin evolved from various bowed stringed instruments from the Middle East and the Byzantine Empire. It is most likely that the first makers of violins borrowed from three types of current instruments: the rebec, in use since the 10th century (itself derived from the Byzantine lyra and the Arabic rebab), the Renaissance fiddle, and the lira da braccio (derived from the Byzantine lira).
