How to Replace your Violin Strings

[@violinlounge]

Here are the strings that I personally use and recommend: Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Gold violin strings: bit.ly/2EccbVG Pirastro No 1 E string for violin (soft): amzn.to/2GvqW69

[@ethodda]

I have always used them! They are really neat.

[@BESTUPPERMOON]

this is so helpful- i just got a violin for Christmas and i already broke the g string so this is so helpful-

[@elijahj.w]

My E string just broke because it went flat in the cold. When I tried to tune it, it snapped. This helped me replace my E string. Thank you!

[@Kashmir_0]

Thank you so much my g string broke and I'm gonna get in so much in trouble by my violin teacher it's the weekend so I will buy another one

[@violinlounge]

Good luck!

[@Kashmir_0]

@@violinlounge update I bought the string and she understands lol thanks for the luck

[@11th_Endor]

Nice pfp

[@c4rdb04rd_b0x]

Violin teachers never get mad for a broken string! They should understand that sometimes a string gets loose or snaps when it gets old.

[@abbyniloingsigh7188]

Why would you get in trouble? Strings break for no reason all the time.

[@OnlyMyisha]

your violin is a masterpiece

[@Rarasunkyulee]

Thank yoou so much!!!, this is so helpful!, the E string broke but this is so helpful to replace it

[@MILLAENERGY]

This process helps me to put my strings back

[@candlemanjustdance.3237]

I just broke the first string so thank you

[@violinlounge]

[@ashleym1849]

One string broke should I replace all strings or just the broken one ?

[@yomamma7660]

Omggg 😭😭😭😭😭 thank you so much I want litterly crying because I'm a student and I was scared if my teacher would shout at me.. Bit after 20 minutes I did it!!! Thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@yomamma7660]

Bye the way I was adjusting my strings since if sounded weird and then it came loose...

[@Jade-g6k]

Your teachers would never yell

[@Jade-g6k]

Strings break cause they are old or they break cause you tightened to muxh

[@Jade-g6k]

Which is totally fine if they snap cause its part of learning how to tune and to get used to the turning of the pegs

[@youdontknowwhoiamnow]

@@Jade-g6ksome ppl just have really strict tutors, like my tutor is chill but my mother finna yell at me 😭

Thank you so much!!!

[@violinlounge]

You’re so welcome ☺️

[@clarkmike0723]

Why do D string and A string seem to be the same size?

[@violinlounge]

The D string is from heavier materials.

[@mjviolinista2]

Your violin is so pretty! Who's the maker and what year is your violin?

[@violinlounge]

The maker is unknown and the year is estimated around 1840.

[@arlandrodenhauser3464]

Hey! Whenever i try tuning one string, the other string seems to get lower or looser. You know any fix for this?

[@violinlounge]

Try to bring some tension on all strings before you fine tune, otherwise one string will pull the bridge too much. More tips at www.violinlounge.com/tuner

[@arlandrodenhauser3464]

@@violinlounge thanks for the fast reply!

[@joseleonido3479]

Fun fact: The Pirastro Tonica A-String has the option to turn into a loop end like the E-String.

[@AndresRodriguez-wc1zn]

Thank you Zlata. How come we don’t take them off all at once? What happens when we do that?

[@violinlounge]

You'll have the bridge in your hands and because of the release of tension your soundpost can collapse.

[@AndresRodriguez-wc1zn]

VIOLIN LOUNGE by Violinist Zlata thank you so much. I really appreciate the feedback.

[@Havefaith..]

Can u tell me what glue u use on the peg

[@violinlounge]

I don't use glue, but chalk. Peg soap is also an option.

[@maxraabe5745]

​@@violinloungewhere can i buy chulk or peg soap? Can not fix my e- string 😢

[@oreodog]

Where did you get your tailpiece, it’s beautiful :)

[@violinlounge]

It's a palisander Gewa tailpiece with integrated finetuners.

[@oreodog]

Awesome, thank you!

[@laughingsheep4714]

I just broke my g string and under the fine tuners the like g string lid broke what do I do? Not to e whole thing just that one piece

[@violinlounge]

Even if the string is just broken on one spot, it needs to be replaced.

[@ezotic1093]

Yes but if you push the peg into the pegbox wouldnt it expand the peg’s hole, making it not fit after a while?

[@violinlounge]

That's what happens anyway and after a long while of playing and tuning the wholes need to be made smaller again by a luthier.

[@Muginami01]

May I ask what does the pencil on the bridge do? I have never heard of this… does it have to be a certain pencil?

[@violinlounge]

It leaves a bit on the bridge and makes sure that the strings can slide over the bridge while tuning.

[@Muginami01]

@@violinlounge great thank you so very much!!!

[@electricunicorn6079]

Also, the sound post if it's on its position

[@illitero]

I'm so sorry if having your accent pointed out makes you uncomfortable, however I can't help but latch onto how you said "loosen the peg" because of how subtle your accent colors the words. Not at all meaning to make fun, I'm just a very casual linguistics nerd and find fascination in how one language's rules reveal themselves when speaking a secondary language _when the mouths that speak it are functionally identical regardless of native language._ Regardless, I'm happy to have found this video because little things like this are always good to know in life. I've barely touched these instruments _because_ of how little I know about them. They seem like one of those things you get a lot out of from knowing more about it as a beginner than other instruments where knowing more isn't quite necessary for simply being able to play it, haha

[@CharleeDix-ec3vd]

Thank you I just got one it broke by the black string but I still don’t understand😅

[@godwingeorge1880]

Why do we mark with pencil?

[@violinlounge]

@@godwingeorge1880 it’s not to mark, but to make the strings move smoothly over that spot

[@KrishnaLaxmicook424]

My E string is twisted is it a problem?

[@KrishnaLaxmicook424]

Currently there is no problem but it is twisted at the upper part just above the winding. After it gets in tension the string becomes straight but if I loose the twist is visible.

[@violinlounge]

Is there a way for you to untwist it?

[@KrishnaLaxmicook424]

You know, my e string got twisted and I am using it almost for almost a year without any problem....😅😊also thank you for your support

[@astromancy2799]

my e string keeps on snapping 😢 i cant even tune in at e5

[@violinlounge]

Which brand and type of strings do you use?

[@Rarelaser]

When I was replacing E it snapped when I was tuning it so 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

[@simonsayys7346]

So uh what do you do if you already took all the strings off

[@violinlounge]

Put them back on, check if the soundpost is still in it’s place and make sure the bridge is placed correctly

[@michelle.b9224]

What is the soap name?

[@violinlounge]

Peg soap: bit.ly/2sBuQnc

[@Edwardruffy0304]

I just noticed that the new violin (not the old one ) has no chinresr

[@Edwardruffy0304]

And also what was the eraser like glue that you put at the peg?

[@Painterreaderworker]

...I feel really freaking dumb and embarrassed. I accidentally knocked down my guitar which landed on my violin and broke all the strings except the G😭 I promise I am a experienced violinist and usually careful with my instruments but today was rough

[@violinlounge]

Nooo, accidents happen to everyone. Hopefully it's 'just' the strings that are damaged.

[@scharnhorstkaisarbeethoven]

Aren't you scared to do this to your baby violin

Why?
