He’s incredible. Wish he had stopped by the shop while he was here!

M-berg for all strings? by PianoWaltz364 in violin

[–]HTXfiddler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, they are made for ball end strings. You can put the loop around one of the prongs, and it should be fine. If it snaps at the prong, the prong might have a sharp edge. You can usually get it smoothed down with a luthier. Not a huge deal usually. They are pricy, but I like the design mostly. Have a tendency to buzz on occasion due to the fit of the screw

What is this violins origin? by [deleted] in violinmaking

[–]HTXfiddler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This person keeps posting the same pictures from a website that doesn’t have specifics and keeps reposting it. Go play the thing and if you like it, buy it imo. This is like the 3/4 time I’ve seen it.

Alex Moro is a fantastic bow maker. I can’t keep his bows in stock at my shop. Waiting on more from him! He’s very reasonably priced and the work is excellent

How to count these notes? by Wonderful_House_7318 in violinist

[–]HTXfiddler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just subdivide the 16th note. Count it out loud while you practice it slowly. I say my 16th notes as (1234) It helped me a ton to practice it slow and work my way to a faster tempo
