<div>Hello! <br/> <br/>I was wondering if anyone knows where to download free and/or purchase sheet music for gypsy-style violin solos... such as Romanian or other Eastern European gypsy music. Does sheet music even exist for that kind of music? I have been having trouble finding some--if people could suggest violinists or composers that would be great. <br/> <br/>Thanks! <br/> <br/>-Laura </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://violinfiddle.tribe.net">Violin</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>This is a weird one. My violin teacher tells me that, <br/>of all her adult students, we're ALL Election Judges. <br/> <br/>When an election happens, most of us miss our <br/>lesson due to schedule-conflicts. <br/> <br/>During the election yesterday, I spoke with one of <br/>the other judges who USED TO play violin. <br/> <br/>What is going on? ;-)</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://violinfiddle.tribe.net">Violin</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Hey guys. I am a beginning amature violinist and am looking around for some people to play with. I had the oppertunity to play with a few people and it really fueled my drive to continue fiddling around. <br/> <br/>I live in Long Beach, Ca. Anyone interested, or have any advice on finding groups? <br/> <br/>While I have mostly been playing Irish type music, any style interests me. <br/> <br/>Eric <br/>posted by: </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://violinfiddle.tribe.net">Violin</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>An infrequent and enthusiasticly dorky contact dancer at best, I Iean more toward other expressions - <br/>music for example.. <br/>I've been working as a solo musician with two Contact Improv dancers (who've danced together a lot), <br/>our aim being to possibly gel some sort of structure, or dance piece form, to improvise off of. <br/>Maybe a performance eventually, <br/>maybe just for the joy in it. <br/>We've done a few sessions using electric guitar, ambient moody sounds and such - went good. <br/>This afternoon I switched to electric violin, run thru a sort of wah tubular fx filter (with some subtle reverb). <br/>Very fine results! <br/>All the airy, textured sounds of a fiddle (bowed or plucked) worked splendidly with Kyla and Quint's dancing <br/>and we all got lost in the shifting interplay of sound and bodies. <br/>The violin played the dancers and the dancers played violin, don't'cha know. <br/>Also I'd asked about hands.. using hands in dance, like those lovely asian traditions of stylized gestures.. <br/>so the dancers at times emphasized this aspect, and I used their hands as a focus to build musical moods from.. <br/>We worked just one hour without stopping - but it felt sublime. <br/>Wanted to share this.. </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://violinfiddle.tribe.net">Violin</a> - 3 replies </div>

<div>Hi, i was just wondering how come awesome violinist like Vanessa Mae and others that I watched over youtube, they dont seem to have the same problem that I have with my left hand pressing the strings, I mean I grew some callous already by practicing everyday for almost nearly 2 months on my own. No teacher yet but I do have plan to have private lessons this July. <br/> <br/>Any suggestions? BY the way, we dont have any lutheir here or violin craftsman. this is going to end up like a DIY (Do it yourself thing) <br/> <br/>THanks</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://violinfiddle.tribe.net">Violin</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>My brother has two sons, the elder plays the piano rather enthusiastically. The younger, a first grader, is now interested in music, but rather wants to play the drums. My brother wants him to play the violin, because he thinks it will ultimately be more satisfying.

<div>I have been a classical violin and a fiddle player since I was eight years old and this summer I ran into a most regrettable problem. The violin I have loved, and have played for over ten years, a family heirloom, was stolen out of the back of my car on the 4th of July. A good friend was kind enough to purchase me a replacement, an electric violin, but I am afraid it is just not the same. <br/> <br/>Does anybody have any advice for where I could get a good violin for relatively cheap?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://violinfiddle.tribe.net">Violin</a> - 0 replies </div>

Many of you may have bands that you play in or know of a person or group that has a web page we can go to and listen to the wide range of violin players that are out there. I am working on my own and will be posting it when finished. I have friends that are very good and would love for you to hear them play. This is a great way to get your music out to the masses. I will be looking forward to listening to what you have included in all of your posts. <br/> <br/>Go here for a great electric violin jam. http://www.madfiddler.co.uk/audio/madfiddler_rock_improv_01.mp3 <br/> <br/>Neal</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://violinfiddle.tribe.net">Violin</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>We are a couple of violin makers who seem to be stuck with one of our instruments, a beatiful hand-crafted viola. It was built on spec, and most of the shops here in Seattle aren't interested in "yet another viola", so maybe someone here will have interest or know someone who might. <br/>This instrument was finished in 2001, though it has gone through quite a process to become what it is now. Since we have few instruments around to do varnish experiments on, this one has been re-finished at least three times (all times by the original maker) before now, each time gaining more and more character. Now it has a warm and charming antiqued finish on it, and we're leaving it as it is. As we've truly "antiqued" it, there are "repairs" that we have done to give it a more authentic look. Peg holes have been bushed, the top has been pulled of and reglued, and one rib has been split and "repaired" (I'm using quotes because we did all the "damage" intentionaly, in reality, these "repairs" are quite common on older violins and don't affect the sound or play). <br/>This is a highly playable instrument, and we'd love to see it get into the hands of a player! All interested parties should contact us by private message for photographs and pricing and shipping info, and for answers to any questions you may have.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://violinfiddle.tribe.net">Violin</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>I posted this message originally on Fiddlin' Fools. <br/> <br/>(And no kidding!) <br/> <br/>If you've checked out the fiddling forum site and looked up strings, you might have read that Pirastro has been giving away a free set. So on 3/17 I emailed Pirastro and asked if the promotion was still ongoing, could I please receive a set? In yesterday's mail a new set of Evah Pirazzi strings arrived. <br/> <br/>Wow! Am I jazzed! These strings go for 50 bucks at Ifshins. <br/> <br/>Haven't put them on yet. Probably will before I head out to tonight's jam session. <br/> <br/>If any y'all want some new and free strings, the place to send away to is: info@pirastro.com. <br/> <br/>(For some reason I thought Pirastro was an Italian string maker. So I wrote Ciao! and Grazie! in my message. But the packaging and letter accompanying the strings were from Offenbach am Main, Germany.

<div>Hello... <br/> <br/>I played the violin for about 9 years, but put it down about six years ago...I've recently decided that I'd like to start playing again...only I will need to find an instrument first!

<div>I actually make these things. Got a question? Need an ID on something. I went to the North Bennet St School for Violinmaking and have worked in the field for 15 years(www.canadianviolins.com). <br/>Currently listening to Juan Reynoso, a Mexican Fiddler. Amazing stuff. I am also looking for a fiddle player for my band, The Jake Walk. We play Jugband classics, blues from the 20's and 30's and write alot of original stuff.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://violinfiddle.tribe.net">Violin</a> - 3 replies </div>

<div>Recently I had an opportunity to see the band DeVotchka play a Cabaret show in San Francisco at a club called Bimbo's. The cabaret show was dissapointing but the band made the whole thing worth while. DeVotchka stole the show and I am now a huge fan. <br/> <br/>If you get a chance to see them in your home town, check them out, they are exceptional. <br/> <br/>Has anyone else seen these guys? Do you have any feelings or comments?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://violinfiddle.tribe.net">Violin</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>Hey All, New to the tribe. . .sort of, as actually I know most of you from other tribes and 'friendships'. <br/> <br/>Got quite a giggle out of the spat between Kam, Black, Ralph and Pablo in February. <br/> <br/>My response to 'new player': there is no way to get around the value of having a private teacher--it's equal to having a Guru and priceless if you're really interested in doing the WORK. So Kam, don't even ask me a question unless you practice a minimum of 4 hours per day. You're out of tune because you have no listening skills or discipline to repeat that section endlessly until perfect! Yes, I'm a violin teacher. Yes, I live with my Guru. Yes, I've played professionally for 17 years and have been playing for 25, NO ONE gets around the basic fact of paying the discipline dues! If you've been 'tinkering' for 3 years--then cut the crap and put some real effort into it. I teach 3-6 grade in school and have private students that range in age from 5-75, and even my 5 year old can play 4th finger on E with perfect intonation and he's been playing for only 1 year. All of my students can play 4th finger. . . so stop milking and start eating solids--do your work, dude! <br/> <br/>Secondly, I both agree and disagree with Black about the quality and cost of violin thing. A true master can bring the beauty of music out on any piece of rotten or even synthetic wood--quality does not make quality in terms of talent; however, I will agree that it sure feels better and one can simply go farther on a quality piece of wood. . .kind of like cheap wine and aged wine, really. So, Black crack a bottle of nicely aged vino and love your quality piece of wood, but don't get too worked up about novices they come to us for answers:) <br/>xoxoxo <br/>B</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://violinfiddle.tribe.net">Violin</a> - 0 replies </div>
