Thanks for all your wonderful work. Im 70 & have been playing 4 years. I teach myself and have gone through & completed books 1-3. Boring ??? Never ! I LOVE Bk 3. Id love you as my teacher !! 🎻👋🙏

Thank you! Im comming off of a bareback kick with my two violins. I still have.my everest plastic shoulder rest; all i do is ball up a sock and tape it to one end. It works for me. Then i stick felt disks to my chin rest at the edge and cover with ace type bandage. Its cheep, effective and grips my chin well. The only thing i dont like is that it locks up my whole head and i feel like i have a cast on. But it is necessasary in order to have a graceful vibrato. Ive seen Ostrach play his violin almost completly on edge and would assume this is so he doesnt blind the fellow to his left. Thankyou for an amazing vidio. I will consider the Bonmusica if other methods fail. My dream shoulder rest is the Libero but its so expensive and i dont know what height to order. And theres the fact that no one in my area sells them so i can try one out for fit finsh and comfort! Its like having a beartrap around your neck! Thanks for showing the Bon Musica shoulder rest. I will be open minded about it and may consider it as time goes on. First I will try a chamois over the chin rest that may give the grip I need without a huge outlay. Bless you i wish i was near arizona so i could drop in and talk with you. Many thanks!😅

Really great vudeo

What materials are the three wave chinrests made of? boxwood？epony？

Thank you Lora for the opportunity to speak with you about these powerful women in Uganda. Their potential is so inspiring and it is Her Mighty Hands’ great pleasure to help them realize that potential by granting them access to education through smartphones with extension videos uploaded on them.

Wow! What a great cause. I was in Uganda briefly around 1999, I think, and it was a very, very difficult place for women and for people generally back then and I'm sure it still is. Thanks for bringing this effective way to help to my attention 😊👍

I play with A. Markov Resonant shoulder rests for violin and viola. They are great for freedom of movement, the sound, and you customize the height.

I didn't like the sound of the violin itself. She doesn't sound professional.

3:57 Wait, Is that from Twilight Zone, The Movie? The big scary gremlin's music when he would show up to scare John Lithgow???

4 and 5 did seem to lift the life of the notes as trial continued. Also they sat down on the draw less abrasives I thought. I do not play violin .I play guitar however not as a melody player. I enjoy chords to support the vocal. Ae. Good listening experience.

Yea..ha ha funny moment.😊

Am adult beginner when I start to play violin mt body aching all over especially my left hand neck and shoulder also my right hand thumb. After 1.5 years playing I can use vibrato at the first time I try it every day find the problem and solution for 1 month very exhausted, stress full and almost give up. Right now I come back to fundamental left hand build by finger lifting excercise and realize how stif my sweet and how weak my pink finger😂. I can control my pinky finger but for my sweet I almost die😂. Maybe because am 30's.I wanna give up actually its realy need much double effort when are adult beginner

Super review! I have a TM60 but I haven’t bothered to go through the manual. But your review provides an excellent reason why I need to take advantage of its features.

Why not just get a smaller violin ? A 7/8 violin? The left hand finger reach is also a real issue to work around.

Thank you for all your videos. You have been an immense help to me. God bless you and continued success.

I just upgraded my violin and the chin rest was flat. I took the rest that is just like this off my old student violin. I love how it makes it easier to keep my violin in place and comfortable

After a lifetime of watching and listening to many talented players (I grew up in Union Grove ,N.C. (where one of the original and oldest fiddlers conventions was held yearly for over 100 years) I decided to teach myself to play violin (it will always be a "fiddle" to me lol). I could tune up and play by ear along to several CD's immediately, easily using the bow and getting absolutely smooth pleasant in key single-string sounds. It all came so easily (I didn't realize how rare that ability was until talking to some music teachers) HOWEVER double stops stalled my efforts. What throws me off is when playing the E &G strings is how can they be played without contacting the D & A strings... since the fret board is "rounded" with those 2 center strings higher than the G & E.I live in an area where any teacher is going to be too far away for personal instruction to be possible. this issue caused me to "give up" several years ago but I am going to try again to figure it out.

Thanks, I was about to buy it, I'll buy the Boss Dr.Beat instead of this metronome.

thank you thank you thank you im a beginner violinist and i have three months before i go to high school to improve and learn better im scared i am taking classes this summer every friday and trying to practice

What orchestra are you in

Thanks for the in-depth review! It looks like the chin rest extends over the edge of the violin more than usual. Do you think it would still fit in contoured violin cases?

Is that the Mach one hook or regular Mach one? Is there a reason you use that one over the other version?

Good to know, Laura. I have wondered about the extent of Colee. At least I wasn't an offender, however I might have been, had I played in an orchestra. Being in my 80's, I don't expect to ever play in an orchestra (darn). I appreciate the fact that you were moved to give me this info. Sorry for the frustration, but it served a purpose.

That is the first viorant that I have ever had the privilege to witness! 🤣😂 The emotion was real! BRAVA!!

Thank you !! I completely agree, and I find it annoying as he##. It is unnecessary to look like a flying octopus. A proper bow arm does not require Colle'. Colle' is at this point has become an obnoxious affectation. I even think it's pompous..

sooo fast 😊

Very well explained. Great video !!

Thank you I just took everything off my violin to clean it and put I back on and there was an echo that cleaned it uo

you landed that shift at 2:51 so well. I ca not do that I keep on doing a c sharp

Thank you so much for posting this ! After watching part 1 & 2 of your videos on this, I ordered one online and I'm thrilled with how it especially solves slippage. The shoulder hook feature of the rest is great for me, personally.

I don't care what you deserve a raise just for this video. THANK YOU!!!

Nice tutorial. Well done. You teach in a very effective way

So beautiful

Wonderful.

Wow! That's a whole other world from the silly Irish tunes I'm doing. I know you're doing it at this slowish speed for purposes of instruction, but for the full effect, I set the playback to 1.75 speed 😳☺️ Fabulous!

FYI you could set the videos as private, which means only people with the link can have access. You can then share the link with the intended audiance. If they share the link with other people they would have access too.

Thank you

Amazing class! Thank you!! 🤩

Thank you so much for that helpful information. Chuck

Awesome! I’ve literally just unboxed mine, looked at the instructions and thought “there must be a video”! I’d never have considered the variations and pitfalls you’ve outlined here. It looks like I have some work to do today. Thank you so much 🙏

Can u teach me

Thank you so much for making this video!

Very useful video, thank you. I'm having hard time playing without shoulder rest (it's definitely possible though) and I feel like without it I just don't progress as quickly as I could because my shoulder and neck are getting tired very quickly. Found KUN classic in my local store, will give it a go :)

I think I may have found it. Is the title "The Masters of the Violin"? Why is hardly anything known about Crickboom? It appears that very few use his method. My daughter is studying the violin and her professor uses it (he studied in Germany under a famous Russian violinist.

I went to the IMSLP website and searched under Mathieu Crickboom. I did find Books 1 through 4 but nothing under Volume 10 of his etudes. Can you provide further guidance on how to find them? Thank you!

Great

thanks a lot for your video, gives a big understanding on how thiese chest rests work.

Amazing review, thanks so much! 😊
