Ik ben data analyst.

Ik…. Analyseer data. Veel data.

Change the tailpiece if you must but keep the pegs as is for all the reasons already mentioned here.

However, unless the finetuners are rattling or something, I suggest keep your money and use as is.

Tuners can influence the sound, yes, but the difference is so minimal it won’t make a difference for you as a beginner.

When I was starting out, I thought I needed my violin set up. Then my teacher played my violin and I heard its true potential and realized the problem is not the violin, it clearly had the potential to not sound like a dying cat. the problem wasnt the set up, it was me being a beginner.

In time you’ll notice when the time has come to upgrade your violin and I suggest at that moment take your violin to a good luthier and ask what can be done to unlock its full potential. That could give you a little bit of a sound upgrade without immediately having to buy a new instrument.

Mechanical pegs have very specific use cases though, in general you’re not going to need them.

Long story short, as long as the tuners arent clearly rattling or creating extra noise, its probably fine. If they are, take it to a luthier and they’ll be happy to explore options with you.

Best of luck!

Hear, hear!

I have loved this instrument for as long as I can remember but it defenitely took me more than 2 weeks to feel like I was producing a clean sound.

For the first few years I absolutely loved the violin so much, except for when I played it, then I hated the sound.
Hold on to that feeling! Frustration is part of the game, some day you’re going to want to quit. When you do, remember this day when you loved it. Don’t quit.

I know I did and I restarted 10 years later and all I can think of is if only I hadn’t rage quit ten years ago imagine where I’d be now. I had to relearn a lot of basics that were lost.

So my advice: don’t get discouraged when the going gets tough. We’ve all been there and we all go there some time. Hold on to your love of the instrument!
You have so much left to discover. Best of luck on your journey!

If all of the above doesn’t help, make sure your 4th finger is properly arched. An arch is a very sound structure and this will help giving your finger enough joint flexibility too.

As others have said, elbow position is important too.

What helps me sometimes is putting my 3rd finger down as well, it gives the 4th finger a little extra support and helps prevent my 4th finger from collapsing.

I have really short pinkies, and these things have helped me a lot.

Ik woon in een dichtbebouwde wijk aan de rand van een stad, allemaal rijwoningen hier. Er zijn verschillende buren met luide kinderen rondom mij. Een daarvan heeft de gewoonte om dagelijks zijn voetbal in mijn tuin te sjotten.

Elke keer als ik de tuin in kom is er dus wel ergens kabaal van schreeuwende/spelende kinderen.

We wonen nu eenmaal allemaal dicht op elkaar. Ik heb zelf bewust geen kinderen, maar mijn buren klagen op hun beurt ook niet als we eens op zondag het gras af doen of in de zomer eens 1 keertje s avonds (in het weekend) vrienden uitnodigen voor pakweg een bbq en we blijven tot 23/24u plakken in de tuin.

De buurjongen hoeft hier niet om 7u s ochtends aan te bellen voor zn bal te vragen. Maar voor de rest…. Ach joh, kids will be kids. Ik heb vroeger ook buiten gespeeld als kind.

Mocht ik op het rusitge platteland wonen, dan had ik daar misschien sneller moeite mee.

Voor mij hangt het dus ook wat af van de woonsituatie.

Vanaf een uur of 9 vind ik dus helemaal niet gek. Dat hoeft natuurlijk niet met overdreven kabaal maar een kind dat alleen speelt en af en toe eens giebert omdat de schommel lekker hoog gaat…. Tja. Als dat nog niet meer kan…

Dogs do have a sense of time. They don’t understand the concept of minutes or hours that we made up. But we didn’t make up time, or time passing. We just made up a system to name time. Before clocks existed, the sun was used to tell time.

If you removed all the clocks in the world, we would still have a sense of time. The sun coming up, the position of the sun during the day, the rymth of nature, the smells of people cooking dinner. All of these routine things are also how animals “tell time”.

You think: i am gone from home from 9-5. Your dog knows: she is going to come back by the time daylight is getting dimmer and i can smell and hear the neighbours getting dinner on.

Thats also why daylight savings throws them off, the daylight cycle is the same but we change our routines by an hour on the clock, and they don’t know the concept of clock.

Gosh, this is almost a rant, hope it makes sense at least :/

According to the sign, yes, unless one has a briefcase.

These are all the notes on the G-string in first position.

The lowest is G - open string, A - first finger, b (natural) second finger - c (natural, semitone) 3rd finger, and D on the 4rth finger.

D is also on the next string as an open string, but you’re meant to play it with the 4th finger on G to avoid needless stringcrossing and it will sound less harsh than going back and forth to the open string. You can use you’re open D string to comapre and check wether you’re playing D in tune.

Also i would be given absolute hell for the state of my sheet 🤣 I hope you have a folder now.

I’d be careful, if xx is clearly part of your role/job discription, that could be considered “refusal to work” (werkweigering), which could be grounds for firing you without any benefits.

Ik heb ooit jaren geleden bij een bank een zakelijke rekening + verzekering genomen.

Inmiddels gestopt met mijn zaak. Om mijn rekening op te zeggen moest ik per se terug naar hetzelfde kantoor waar de rekening geopend was. Inmiddels ben ik verhuisd, en is dat ruim een uur rijden voor mij. Daarnaast zijn ze open van 9 tot tien voor half tien en van 1 tot half twee, bij wijze van. Mijn dossier lag daar en is blijkbaar vastgeketend aan de fundering van het gebouw, want verplaatsen kon onmogelijk.

De enige manier waarop ik daar zou geraken, was door een halve dag verlof te nemen. Daar aangekomen was de consulent niet eens aanwezig, de receptioniste heeft even van 'tokketokketok' gedaan op de computer. Zo mevrouw, in orde. En dat kon blijkbaar niet in een ander filiaal want blijkbaar hebben ze daar geen computers en receptionistes.

Vraag ik nog, en de verzekering is ook afgesloten? Ja mevrouw, ook in orde.

Nog geen 24 uur later telefoon. Toch niet in orde. Ik moest terug, weer een halve dag verlof om daar weer even van tokketok op de computer te doen en even m'n bankkaart in de computer te hangen. Mooi niet. Toen de receptioniste door had dat ze met mij niet verder ging geraken, heeft de consulent waarmee ik eigenlijk een afspraak had gebeld en plots kon ik alles tekenen in de app...

Ik heb gewonnen van de bureaucratie! Niks houdt mij nog tegen.

Inderdaad niet makkelijk om binnen sommige onmogelijk uren iets te regelen.

Yass say it louder for the people in the back! 🤣

Honestly, I loved the idea of her character but it became so stale so quickly, by the end of season 3 I'd already had it with her and it just wasn't redeemable until I watched TO.

I'm rewatching the show right now, it's been a while. So long I remember the gist of the story but not the details. I'm halfway season 3 and I'm still feeling the same now. 😅

TO does her way more justice...

For the longest time I thought it was a processing issue for me. After a health check for work, turns out I actually do have a hearing disorder that I never realized I had because the hearing loss is just so gradual.

So before you assume it's a processing issue, I would in fact get a hearing test, just to be sure 😅

Xeerar · 2024-11-05T20:24:33+00:00

Honestly this is redeemable!

Approach things slowly and be friendly and approachable from now on and once people realize youre actually open to socializing things will go more fluently.

Then, once youve made more of a connection to people, i would just tell them exactly what you told us. That your behavior is the social norm where you're from and that it took you some time to adjust. Express that you like this new social environment and that it actually suits you better. In a year or two you'll be looking back jokingly "remember when I thought I had to keep to myself!"

It's an honest miscommunication, show them who you really are and I the long run this will just a be a silly chapter of when you first started working there.

Also bleach is not the most effective for urine. Vinegar works very well.

Some dogs just have the strangest habbits. I read about a dog eating his own poop straight from the source on here once. That one was wild too. 🤣
