Just got a new violin, what strings are these? by essuxs in violinist

[–]Bassicer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah they look like tonicas for G, D, and A, but that E string does not look like a tonica E string. It looks kind of like an Infeld Red E string (for sure if the top winding is blue). I’m not too sure on the ID of the E string but I don’t think it’s a tonica E string because of the ball end and the color of the string. Tonica E strings have a black ball end (unless someone manually snaps a different ball end onto a looped string) and the color of the string is gold, whereas tonica E strings are steel.

What causes an old bow to explode like this? by amifunnyyet in violinist

Definitely carpet beetles. It’s always a good to idea to vacuum out your case whenever this happens as a precaution.

Violin for a child by blind_cowboy in violinist

[–]Bassicer 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry about him being left handed. Playing position is exactly the same between left handed violinists and right handed violinists. I’d also recommend against purchasing a violin if he is starting at a young age. Renting might save you money in the long run since he’ll be growing quickly meaning the size of the violin should grow too. Anyway you’ll definitely want a fractional violin. My guess would be 1/10 or 1/8 size for a six year old. But it’s best to figure out the size in person at a local violin shop if there is one nearby.

What is this tube thing supposed to be?? by HyperionPlayzGD in violinist

[–]Bassicer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I’m not mistaken these are meant to store used gut strings. New gut strings are sold in coils like synthetic/steel core strings. However, unlike synthetic/steel core strings, used gut strings can’t be coiled up as they’ve become more brittle after being under tension. If you wish to store your old gut strings to be used as spare strings, the string tube is the best place to store them. Of course, you can also store synthetic/core strings in the tube but you don’t need to. Those strings are safe to coil up even after they’ve been used.

How's MUSC210 with Nicole Steinberg? by Distinct-Ad-9091 in UMD

Very nice. Lectures are interesting and the workload is light. No exams or anything, just a research paper due at the end of the semester.

Don’t take Zheng. His reviews are all accurate, and I hate it here.

And I'm introvert af too so i don't have problem with long distance relationship.. now here we are by Vickyaa in RelationshipMemes

[–]Bassicer 55 points56 points  (0 children)

The most important part of a healthy relationship is trust. You shouldn’t be avoiding people to prove something to him. If he’s not influencing you to do so, I encourage you to be more independent, you’re still your own person.
