      Exactly the same thing happened to me as well! I bought the violin, went home, tried to tune it, managed to do so for three of the strings, but broke the A string. I wished i have seen this video before, but I will try to fit the string myself as soon as I buy a replacement one.

      Moonlight Andreas Wow, that's hard. I've heard of breaking the E string, but I understand the G is harder to break because it's thicker. Thankfully I've never broken a string though. Haven't ever changed them, either.

    I got a violin for Christmas and of course I didn't know what I was doing so I started "tuning" it and I pulled back ALL the way to the right and it snapped and hit me in the face and it all just unraveled and fell off. I had it for less than two minutes and I already screwed up. Im so happy I found this video. Thanks a ton.

    Just got my violin today and I managed to break the G string. So I go online and I see that the most difficult one to tune is actually "E" and I'm like : "Dude! You managed to tune the hardest one but you break the thickest one???" Anyway, I knew I could find tips on your channel. Thank you :)

      omg literally same, it kept unraveling and wouldn't tighten, no matter how much I turned the knob and it predictably broke. I tried to restring it and the same thing happened and the spare broke too, apparently you're supposed to coil it tightly on the edge otherwise it'll keep going back

  • @MichaelStephenLordReserei1987

    I'm a guitarist, have been for 15 years, am looking into Violin--it's what I would've liked to take up originally, but it wasn't exactly affordable back then. Although it's quite clear that both instruments are quite different, it's nice to see that there are still some universal constants/rules with regards to such things as changing strings. Removing them all at once can affect the neck and bridge (depending on one or two factors) through tension--it's rare that I do it. I'll be more likely run a cloth underneath the strings (I set my action a little higher than recommended) if I need to do some cleaning. Still, to this day, it makes me extremely anxious when changing them.
    I'm not sure how it is with sets of Violin strings, but for guitarists--it's common to have a spare High E string considering it's the most likely to break, and I've had it break during performances when I maybe got a bit too carried away with bends or vibrato.

    thank you for the tutorial. i play guitar for 10 years almost and started to think about getting a violin. and i did. unfortunately the violin came with very bad strings (in my opinion) but there was a set of new ones. so thanks again for taking away the fear that it might be different from guitar. but it isnt. im a big noob when it comes to violins right now but i hope ill get good soon :)

  • @TheOnlineViolinTutor
    @TheOnlineViolinTutor  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    yes i did. As i wind up the string and get to the point where the string is becoming quite taut, this is when i gently push in to help with the tuning as im tightening it. Alison

  • @TheOnlineViolinTutor
    @TheOnlineViolinTutor  11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    you have to use the pegs if you dont have tuners and you are less likely to break a string with tuners and you can fine tune the strings if its only slightly out

    Me too, after several of the strings broke for the first time! I feel it helps to push the peg in (cause before the peg would untwist again, and if I kept winding it, the string would break)

  • @TheOnlineViolinTutor
    @TheOnlineViolinTutor  11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Well it should be standing upright, but sometimes bridges can be tilted and work perfectly fine and also sometimes, its better to leave well alone than try to re-position it and brake not only the bridge, but the strings as well. You could try o gently lift it back and loosen the strings a little - BUT BE CAREFUL whatever you do. Hope that helps.

    I had a rental violin and afterwards this got stuck in my school for 2 months (could not go to school to get it cauz PF the virus). When I got it back all strings were loose and it was not good. I tightened three of them then the 4th one came out. Out of all the strings, it was the E string. Great. So using this video, I got it in, even though it is not in tune(when I try tuning it it breaks off again). Thanks so much for the help!

    Thank you for a very well done and informative post. I actually have TWO violins; one purchased at a thrift store for £30, and the other plucked from a trash bin. The thrift store violin is a white inexpensive beginner's electric ( Cecilio CVNAE ). It's sound post is in place, but the bridge is off and so are the strings. My bin-baby IS branded Sears, Roebuck & Co from ~1920. Binned? Seems it had been sat upon by a hefty person who liked eating biscuits and tarts; lots of biscuits and tarts. Obviously this later instrument will require a bit more effort,, a fair amount of adhesive and a re-varnishing before it is ready for a restringing :-)

    My G string snapped :P Went ahead and ordered a whole set of D'Addario Preludes even though all I need is the G string. It's good to have extra strings on hand just in case. Now I can't practice until those come in.

    I’ve been wanting a violin for awhile now and I bought one today. I broke the E string while using a dumb tuning app and the tuning thing got really loose and so I tried to turn it really hard and since it was my first time it snapped and I just stared at it for an our. I have no extra strings.

    Thanks, for posting these! That's twice now that they've helped me. I've been a guitarist since 2001 but just started on the violin during the stay at home order. Self taught, I do have a question though. Does removing the fine tuners increase the sound quality of the violin?

    • @TheOnlineViolinTutor
      @TheOnlineViolinTutor  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Probably not. They are generally not on more expensive/antique violins that have been properly set up at the peg box.

    You can use solder iron and solder to a broken string and allow 1.5 cm to overlap each other.

    I broke my violin string even after my mom told me specifically not to use it before my birthday… I was crying so hard so I immediately went to find videos to fix it. I hope one of them work.

  • @TheOnlineViolinTutor

    Did you make sure it was a G string on the packet? Perhaps its not tuned correctly. Does your bow have rosin on? I just cant thing of a reason why a string would make no sound? Is the string tight because if its loose, then no, it wont make a sound.

    Just got my new violin for 6th grade instrumental, broke the d string, panicked that my dad would get fined, then found this video, and it helped.

    8:20 I yanked my E sting like you mentioned and ended up spending £4.50 on a brand new tonica string. Another shop was selling the same string for £8 so look around if you do break yours.
    Thank you for the help Alison.

  • @TheOnlineViolinTutor
    @TheOnlineViolinTutor  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    well it should be if you get the right length string - so a full size string for a full size violin etc.

  • @TheOnlineViolinTutor
    @TheOnlineViolinTutor  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    well, you just tighten the string (carefully) until it hits the note of E. Its whatever tightness it needs to be at for the correct pitch. Does that make sense?
