i remember watching this video 7 years ago when i bought my first violin. 7 years later and i’m playing in my high school’s consort orchestra as the second violin’s first chair. seeing this now definitely makes me feel a certain way 💕
I had been ROSINING the bow for the last 6 hours or so! Then I saw your video, didn't have a nail filer, took a pair of scissors, roughed up the rosin surface, and in less than 20 seconds, I got all the sounds out of the violin. Now there's the problem of too much rosin cuz it keeps sedimenting on top of the strings and on the violin, but I took care of that! Once again, LOVE YOU ALISON!!
I play the guitar and wanted to learn the violin . When I received my violin I had no clue on setting it up. This video is very informative . Thank you 😀
I got my first violin today. This was a very informative video, especially the part about the rosin. I never knew why the rosin was used before. I can't wait to begin my learning process. Going to try to learn this amazing instrument on my own and with the help of you tube tutorials such as this one.
Now I know why my violin wasn't producing any sound. I've not put the rosins. Infact, I didn't even notice that there was a rosin inside the tiny box.😂😂😂
I just got my violin, first time holding one and actually seeing one in real life. This is going to be a long and adventurous journey and I think you’re gonna be my companion for most of it😅 ❤️
Thank you so much for this lesson Alison. I thought the bridge had broken off when I opened my new violin. Am just starting out and am hoping to make the most of it using your lessons. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience. All the best.
Just unpacked a stentor 2 , 1/4 for my 7 year grand daughter. I am a guitar player and tuning this and setting up was great fun thanks to your video. We will be taking your lessons. Thank you!
Thank you, I don't know what I've been doing without you, Alison! I was playing, than the bridge just flew away, it scared the hell out of me. But thanks to you, I've restored it in 5 minutes, and it even sound better. So thank you once again :)
this video was perfect, not too fast or slow, did everything while watching it without having to pause or go back, and you answered every question i had. extremely helpful. thanks!
Even after 9 years, your violon video is still helpful. I've been wanting to learn to play an instrument like the piano. But I have a thing for violon too. I ended up purchasing an inexpensive black violon on Temu to try out. Watching your review really helped me set up my new violon. Thank you for sharing your educational skills with the TH-cam community. 🤝
Hi Alison Ma'am, thanks for putting up the tutorials. I am absolutely new (have no knowledge on violins and planning to learn and master the skillset). Your videos are what I have been looking for all this time.
Thank you. I just bought a violin. Its on the way and I've watched this video maybe 10 times. I am left handed. But I will be learning how to play the violin the way a right handed person would. If there is something I despise, it is being left handed. Thank you for the video
I always wanted to learn violin as a kid. Decided to pick it up as an adult. Haven't played an instrument in years. Played piano and guitar intermittently growing up, but haven't owned an instrument in awhile. Looking forward to the challenge!
I am so relieved that you didn't appear to show contempt for that mv200...or the brand! My son's instructor told us to stay away from that brand at all costs! So we went with the school's recommended rental company, but I just bought a mv300 for myself, so that I can learn along with him and help encourage him....
Thank you so much for making such a detailed video. I just got a voilin as a beginner i was completely lost as to how to make this instrument work. Thank you so much
I'm watching this video in 2022 yet its significantly helpful. I've just bought my violin and could not get a sound out of it after following all the directions in the book. And you did not go on and on about rosin it was exactly what I missed . My book did specifically say that no rosin means no sound. Thank you!
Must say perfect instructions,i wish all youtubers where correct and to the point like you.i even wondered weather to keep the bow in the plastic bag,you dont need it you say,perfect!thank you.have a merry christmas.
thank you! really, thank you! i started getting that whisper-like sound, and i didn’t know that about the resin! i’m really thankful for that! really! thank you, i love people like you that simply spread knowledge freely, thank you!
I remember watching this video including your other older ones 5 years ago wanting a violin. Now I finally got it, waiting till Christmas day :) Can't wait to play and do better on my violin skills!
Thank you for making these videos. I'm just starting to pick up the violin again and I appreciate these reminders. I'm looking forward to relearning with some more of your videos.
Thank you very much indeed for this series of tutorials. I'm an unsigned musician who has never touched a violin in his entire life, and I play guitar, bass guitar, keyboards, percussion etc. I decided that if I could add a violin to the mix, even if I could only get three notes out of the darned thing, I might at least get some interesting sounds if I use a lot of effects to mask my clumsyness. Unfortunately it soon became apparent that I didn't have a single clue about how to set it up or what to do - so this tutorial is a lifesaver! My cheapo student violin refuses to stay in tune, so I'm going to be paying particular attention to the tuning vidoes.
Thanks God, I found you. I received my violin this afternoon. The bridge was supposed to be installed according to the pictures, it wasn’t 😱. Serious panic on board but now I’m pretty sure I can install it by myself. Thank so much ❣️
I'm soooo thankful for this video!!! I just got my violin today and your video helped me alot to set it up! I'm not in school or anything so I can't wait to practice every single day! ❤
Thank you for your easy and straight explanations. I am totally new to Violin, I just got mine and I went through several videos, yours is the best. And I loved your beautiful blue sky eyes. Love from Saudi Arabia
Just started watching your lessons and there are positive signs of improvement. Have learnt so much in 2 weeks. I have also played Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Please let me know how to improve more. Thanks for your help Mam. Bommy
I can't thank you enough for your video series, and the subscription service I'll be signing up for! My boss surprised me yesterday with a violin, and I cannot wait to start playing
So I started watching your videos and come to find out my hubby did his research and got me this exact same brand violin. So I’m super excited!! Thank you for this video, I was looking to see how to do this and set it up ❤️
I ordered my violin and started to watch your channel, its very informative, today i have got my first vilon, i am so excited, just setting up while watching your video, Accept love from Pakistan, You may not have a single subscriber from Pakistan, so i am the first one, thank you so much Mam
Hi, I played the violin back in 5th grade and loved it! Im now 36 and just bought a violin again. (a cheap one XD) I hope to relearn everything and enjoy playing still. Just wanted to say thanks for the videos.
TY VERY MUCH.. U ARE AWESOME.. I WAS TOTALLY GONNA THROW AWAY MY NEW VIOLIN I BOUGHT THINKINGS IT DIDNT WORK & WAS NOT GOOD.. I FINALLY CAN HEAR IT PLAY NOW.. WOOOHOOOO
Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been trying to figure out why I’m only getting the whispery sound & now I know I haven’t put enough rosin on the bow. Thank you again!
I don't know if you will see that,but I've been watching you scenic i started thinking about the violin,and i finally ordered it thank you for everything.😭
Omg so crazy! I should be getting this EXACT violin in the mail soon, I can't believe I came across this video. This will help me so much, thank you!!!
Thanks a ton for this video. Like you pointed out the bow was not making any noise. And the rosin had to be cleared of the top layer. Etc. Very useful for first timers.
Im having a Violin for my birthday (Which is in august) but im just so excited that i went straight up to watching violin tutorials even though i don't have it yet
Ive played guitar for years but just now bought a violin and saw all these parts and the first thing i thought was "uhh, wtf is this thing? (The bridge)" this video was super helpful. Thanks.
I can' believe it. My problem was that however accurate movements I used, I touched other strings several times with the bow. Now I had to change the bridge and the problem is gone! The previous bridge must have been in a wrong position. Thank you, Alison!
Thank you so much, this video was a god-send, my 8 year old daughter is learning violin at school and got one of her own for Christmas, and I had to fit the bridge, the tuning pegs kept going slack until I figured out that they just push into the wood with no thread, anyway with your help I got there in the end.
Thanks so much for this video, easy to watch and follow. I just got a new violin right like the one in the video and I thought I will never be able to set it up on my own. I can't wait to start learning
Super useful video! I really had no idea I had to rosin a new bow first. I spent like 30 mins applying rosin till I realised I need to press the horsehair harder into the rosin 😂
I cannot even thank you enough for your video here. I was on the verge of crying because I didn't know that I needed to rosin the bow and tried to play it and it didn't make a sound aside from small scratching sounds.
Thankyou very much. Just bought a violin after lots of fight with my parents for me wanting to learn it, their reasoning to stop me from learning it was " I was too untalented" . I will be in your care thanks .
Greetings wonderful teacher! 30+ year guitar player here recently getting started on the violin... I have an inexpensive violin and it looks like the string action seems too high in the nut area, but of course I could be totally wrong... can you provide guidance on nut height evaluation and adjustment? Thank you and have a great day!

I like your little saying in the background, "We don't make mistakes, we make variations" : )
I play the guitar and wanted to learn the violin . When I received my violin I had no clue on setting it up. This video is very informative . Thank you 😀
premmascarenhas Bruh same
Same as well
Same here. But I ended up hating the violin. Is so stupidly delicate and seems like I need toddler fingers.
I've been borrowing my friend's violin to start learning and mine finally came in.
This channel is a blessing.

Yo I put rosin and my violin isnt making sound

I just got my violin, first time holding one and actually seeing one in real life. This is going to be a long and adventurous journey and I think you’re gonna be my companion for most of it😅 ❤️
Out of a dozen or so beginners tutorials, you were the only one who talked about the strings in depth and that is extremely useful. Thanks
Perfect.
Thanks for this.
Almost thought I bought a fake violin.
HA LOL SAME
LMAO
I thought mine was already broken. I feel like such an idiot
Are Mera baj he Nahi Raha kya issue hai pata Nahi koi help kr skta hai kya

John Zarn Same!
fantastic, covers it all in 5min, thank you.
Now to play my $30 violin from ebay :)
$30? Mine was $50.40 from Wish, also a Chiwanese brand of electric.
30 and 50? Mine was 69.99 $70 with the whole pack lol. I think it’s the same as the one she got.
I started with a 35 dollar one. Now I am on a 650 one.
I started with an $100 dollar one and now have an $1000 one
Mines was $350
Just ordered a violin just know I’m gonna be here a lot like ALOT

I see whatcha did there with 1/4 hehe
As a guy I never thought I'd find use for a nail file. Now I know :) thanks lol
You can use the metal piece on the frog to rough up the rosin. Just scratch it into the edge to make it work.
I'm soooo thankful for this video!!! I just got my violin today and your video helped me alot to set it up! I'm not in school or anything so I can't wait to practice every single day! ❤
This was brilliant for me, appreciate you for taking the time to teach! Keep up the good work. Thank you.

Just got a new violin today and it's working perfectly
Thank you for helping newbies. I appreciate it.

I just got my violin today
My belated bday gift
Thanks for this information
I can' believe it. My problem was that however accurate movements I used, I touched other strings several times with the bow. Now I had to change the bridge and the problem is gone! The previous bridge must have been in a wrong position. Thank you, Alison!
Thank you so much I was struggling and you were just a blessing to set it up
Hi Alison, great video and lots of"fine detail" info,which is very important and is #1 learning video how to do full setup!! ty
Thank you so much, this video was a god-send, my 8 year old daughter is learning violin at school and got one of her own for Christmas, and I had to fit the bridge, the tuning pegs kept going slack until I figured out that they just push into the wood with no thread, anyway with your help I got there in the end.
Thanks so much for this video, easy to watch and follow. I just got a new violin right like the one in the video and I thought I will never be able to set it up on my own. I can't wait to start learning
Super useful video! I really had no idea I had to rosin a new bow first. I spent like 30 mins applying rosin till I realised I need to press the horsehair harder into the rosin 😂
I cannot even thank you enough for your video here. I was on the verge of crying because I didn't know that I needed to rosin the bow and tried to play it and it didn't make a sound aside from small scratching sounds.
Thanks so much for providing these videos. Just unboxed my first ever violin! So excited to follow your videos while learning how to play!
Thankyou very much. Just bought a violin after lots of fight with my parents for me wanting to learn it, their reasoning to stop me from learning it was " I was too untalented" . I will be in your care thanks .
I just got a violin. I didin’t know how to use it🥺 But then ur video saved my life💖 Thank you so much
Thank you so much!
This was extremely helpful I honestly can't thank you enough :)

Thank you Alison. This video helps me a lot. I so much want to learn. Your videos are very helpful and so thorough.
Greetings wonderful teacher! 30+ year guitar player here recently getting started on the violin... I have an inexpensive violin and it looks like the string action seems too high in the nut area, but of course I could be totally wrong... can you provide guidance on nut height evaluation and adjustment? Thank you and have a great day!
I'm starting orchestra this year great video!!!
