1. Hold violin firmly under chin using the rest provided.

2. Place fingers of left hand on strings.

3. Grasp bow securely with right hand.

4. Play Bruch's Violin Concerto No.1 in G minor.

There may be some intermediate steps too, but I'm sure you'll have them figured out by tomorrow. :wink:

Looks like a wonderful addition to your range of instruments and gadgets. Almost looks like it needs a Cobra in basket for playing snake charmer music...

About 35 years ago when I was involved more in the rock scene we were friendly with the members of a band in Melbourne who had a female member called Claes Pearce who played electrified violin, so I guess the idea has been around for quite a while. It wasn't as neat looking as that though. :D Have fun. 8)

We need one of those smilies for hiding behind a brick wall.


Meantime I'll just duck. :V :quack quack:


(I'm sure there are position dots on the side of the neck.

The finishing isn't done well and I had to relocate the bridge Looks very cool and snakelike (a green one might be interesting), but it doesn't seem like there's much room to reposition the bridge. Was intonation off? maybe this was subtle humor, but without frets, intonation isn't much of an issue]]> Guitar Players Discussion gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/new-four-stringed-beast/#post-256356 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/new-four-stringed-beast/#post-256344 Wed, 25 Jul 2007 20:43:58 +0000

Apart from the humorous snippet above it might take a bit. I'll first learn to play some scales and then I'll compose a simple piano & violin duet or something. Might take a few days so don't hold your breath. Right now I've got the G, D, A, B, C# and E notes covered. :D]]> Guitar Players Discussion Ignar Hillström https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/new-four-stringed-beast/#post-256323 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/new-four-stringed-beast/#post-256321 Wed, 25 Jul 2007 17:06:56 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion slejhamer https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/new-four-stringed-beast/#post-256321
