      KissTheViolin bananas have melatonin so it helps make you calmer. Melatonin is also a chemical your brain produces before sleep so people will also tell you to eat a banana before bed (I haven't tried). Eating a banana before performances does seem to help though, at least for me.

    Regarding the second tip for unwrinkling clothes: save water by using an open electric tea kettle. I've gotten as much steam as a 10 minute hot shower with one cup of water.
    Might be using the rosin on the peg tip. Thanks!

    I have the same shoulder rest as you. I struggled 4 years with it slipping off!! Found a solution in replacing the “feet” with some from a kuhn shoulder rest. The new ones are a lot longer/ wider (?) then the old ones so they have more rubber that can stick to the violin

    This video probably should've been titled "Life hacks for String Players," because a majority of this stuff doesn't apply to other classical musicians, you know: the trumpets, trombones, tubas, horns, flutes, clarinets, oboes, percussionists, and plethora of others.

    Careful with the rosin trick. Rosin is abrasive and will damage the wood in your pegbox over time. This trick is good for an emergency repair but in the long run you need to have a luthier fit the pegs properly so that they function as intended.

  • @DrQuizzler
    @DrQuizzler 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'd like to time-travel back to when I performed a lot, and try that eating a banana trick for nerves. I can see telling my younger self "Here, try THIS for your stage fright," and having him give me that LOOK I normally get from other people. :)

    • @estiehwang
      @estiehwang  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey! Buying a violin can be a very personal thing since everyone has different tastes on what sounds they like as well as how much they are willing to spend. My violin is a modern violin made in the states, and I like it because it has a bright and clear sound. But if you like a darker warmer tone, an older violin might be the way to go! Hope that helps :)

    • @rowanmiller6035
      @rowanmiller6035 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Probably to maintain a certain temperature inside your case. I had an incident recently where I was practicing in a cold room and it was really humid outside. The fire alarm went off and I packed up quickly to leave the building, and that sudden change in temperature caused the water in the air inside my case to condense on my violin and my bow. It was fine but I learned an important lesson that day.
