Why do strings matter?

April 6, 2013 at 5:07 PM

Lots of string players forget about the importance of... the strings!

Strings are important for:

• the color of the sound of your violin (it can seem like you have a different instrument with different strings)


• your intonation (strings can 'waddle', so you can't play in tune)


• the feeling you have with the instrument (don't cut yourself with thin or damaged strings!)

In this video I demonstrate the difference between good strings and bad strings.

I hope this video is useful to you!
