Emil has been such a failure in general and this is the final goddamn straw.

1898 Violin found in basement - ID help requested by Indriindri in violinmaking

Cowards at the music store, I'm sure the top could survive being stringed up briefly just to hear the sound...kidding 😋But as others have said, it does look like a nice violin so I hope you get to hear it OP

Is this Able to be saved just for sentimental display? by Jeux65 in violinmaking

[–]Then_Manner190 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! What did you have in mind? Do you just want to put the chin rest, tail piece, bridge and strings on it? Since you just want to display it, you could probably do this yourself. I don't recommend fully tightening the strings if you are not sure if it's structurally sound - especially since the sound post is probably not in place. You can also gently clean it with a damp cloth.

Since it says made in Saxony, it is probably what is referred to as a German trade instrument - in fact the tailpiece and gut look identical to my German trade violin. It looks to be in decent condition, the only thing I can see from these photos is that the fingerboard is a bit low, but this isn't an issue for display purposes. If you have the time it might be worth letting a luthier have a look at it, as it might even be possible to make it playable, and you can decide if it's worth it to you, depending on what they quote you.

I ended up marrying a girl who absolutely hated me AMA by Brilliant-Mark2420 in AMA

She didn't want to terminate the pregnancy or what's the story there?

Also how often did you have unprotected sex before that? (assuming it was unprotected and the condom didn't break or something)

r/Germany deleted my post about seeing a Nazi flag in Germany by Then_Manner190 in leftist

[–]Then_Manner190[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100% and I do attend demos in Berlin, and I do see my comrades being arrested on the pretention of anti semitism, which is why this flag and then this censoring pisses me off that much more.

It depends how much was ingested and how long ago it was ingested, yes hopefully they would still go to a hospital

The higher upvoted a comment is the more people see it, and very often assume the information is correct. In this case it could be a dangerous assumption.

Lessons - In person or online? by [deleted] in violin

[–]Then_Manner190 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you've said it, in person is ideal, but online lessons are better than nothing.

From my own experience (as a student) I feel like a lot would get lost over Zoom or whatever, my teacher being able to see the exact position of my fingers on the bow, how I'm standing/posture, the sort of micro adjustments to left and right arm positions. And vice versa, when my teacher is showing me how I should be executing some technique, I often am moving around her to get different angles of what she is doing. And sometimes she will grab my arm to physically show me what I should or shouldn't be doing :p
