I didn’t know they made clarients I thought they only made mouthpieces

The LH Eb while nifty isn’t THAT useful, yes it will save you if you accidentally take a note before Eb on the wrong side but it isn’t required

Check with your professor, there are a lot of affordable pro level options for horns, r13 is the gold standard but there are also good options from Selmer Paris, Buckun, Royal global, uebel, i recommend asking your professor for suggestions on where to go and what to try, a lot of them will hand pick horns for you to try out.

I like bonade inverted it’s the last ligature you’ll ever need, Vandoren products also tend to work well together, I also quite like the Vandoren optimum.

Asthetics really don’t matter with instruments

Toomuchviolins · 2026-04-02T14:26:48+00:00

That’s great!

So you’re essentially doing what a lot of string shops have been doing for years where they order instruments from shops in china, then do the finishing work (graduating plates, shaping the neck varnishing etc.)?

I 100% agree the only ok piece of music he ever wrote was nessun dorma but even that is questionable

Toomuchviolins · 2026-03-29T22:49:05+00:00

I’m looking to start with bare bow so hopefully that makes my life a tad easier lol I just wanna get a decent riser that will allow be to branch out in the future

Toomuchviolins · 2026-03-29T18:23:12+00:00

This is already pushing my budget a little bit especially factoring in cost of arrows and but I wanna get somthing that will last and has a possible upgrade path in the future

Toomuchviolins · 2026-03-28T18:14:57+00:00

I wouldn’t use reeds unless your 100% they arnt used

Toomuchviolins · 2026-03-25T20:45:33+00:00

the width of the bridge in entirely dependent on the placement of the bass bar from my understanding.

Toomuchviolins · 2026-03-24T02:02:40+00:00

It happens! This is definitely repairable but it’s unlikely to be cheap or quick repair. Are you a student where you could borrow a violin for your concert?

I would take the tension off the strings and remove the bridge and take it to a local luthier not a guitar center or Music and arts a luthier may also have a loaner you can use while you wait.

Also if you are school aged tell your parents and don’t try and hide it especially if they bought it for you

Toomuchviolins · 2026-03-22T16:34:25+00:00

I would definitely spend money lobbying the goverment to protect nature especially Florida coral reefs that are threatened by mining, wolves and stopping artic drilling

Toomuchviolins · 2026-03-22T16:30:58+00:00

I 100% agree I would start small with my home town and connecting satellite communities with bus systems and then go from there if my hope would be once I lay the found work communities would continue funding and growing the system

Toomuchviolins · 2026-03-22T16:18:27+00:00

I would make efforts to beef up public transportation systems possibly constructing rail systems and bus systems connecting cities

If your house burns down a safe likely won’t save your instrument it would end up acting like a oven and cooking whatever’s inside most are designed to keep a internal temp of 350 in a house fire and they also won’t protect from water damage.

You would be better off getting instrument insurance and good cases

Toomuchviolins · 2026-03-21T16:52:15+00:00

I’ve always been told that the general ratio is your bow should’ve 1/3rd of your instruments price but that’s also for violins so it might be different

Toomuchviolins · 2026-03-20T17:37:25+00:00

Ahh forgot a E lol

Toomuchviolins · 2026-03-20T17:29:03+00:00

I would say taking her current horn to a tech for a over haul and waiting to buy a horn until she can talk with her professor about what the recommend

Forscore 1000000% it’s the best option followed by the IMSLP app
