A violin that is not tuned to a G major scale costs approximately 50% more than a viola tuned to G major (which means that you need to pay $15,000 for a violin that will cost $25,000 to tune to G-major). The same guitar will cost $20,000 to tune on its own, but a violin […]

You bet. When it comes to value, I’ve often found that the older a particular instrument is, the more valuable it is, and I wouldn’t want my kids to grow up listening to something that isn’t worth more than what the collector is willing to sell it for. The above, of course, is only valid […]

How much if I don’t know how to buy a violin? Why do you want to sell your violin? Where do I find a violist for a lesson? Why do you want me to sign the loan release form to sell my violin? How do the two sides of my loan deal work? Will I […]

It might also be helpful to take a look at the various types of music and different things you need to know when you are learning to learn violin. Most people say a good first step would be to get to know a lot of music and understand what it is about it that’s worth […]

Are the Japanese horn strings stronger or more complex so the guitar is louder? It is not. French horns can make a beautiful, smooth, mellow, sweet sound. The quality of Japanese and French horns is not very different. Japanese strings are lighter but not too light. The string action is similar to the sound. All […]

That depends on your own individual approach. A beginner’s mistake is to try to cram the entire instrument in too soon after learning to play the violin. You should try to begin playing as many of the parts of the violin as you can at a younger age. A second mistake is to think that […]

Or is it that age is where that happens? The age at which I learned any instrument was between five and nine. I knew the basics and it wasn’t till I was seven that I really understood it completely. I learned how to play, I learned what was going on in the music because that […]

“It is true that the Yamaha guitar is really powerful.” That’s what Suzuki wanted to say. “But that’s exactly why our music is beautiful and it’s a problem we have.” The music industry, he claims, has allowed its values to become “very narrow”, and that has helped to create a “troubled relationship” with the customer.
