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.

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.

[@clarkmike0723]

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

[@violinlounge]

The D string is from heavier materials.

[@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 😢

[@AC5SH]

:)

[@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!

[@Thefinalboss766]

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

[@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 😭

[@MILLAENERGY]

This process helps me to put my strings back

[@Rarasunkyulee]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@astromancy2799]

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

[@violinlounge]

Which brand and type of strings do you use?

[@jerryzhang1756]

So helpful tysm

[@candlemanjustdance.3237]

I just broke the first string so thank you

[@violinlounge]

👏

[@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.

[@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?

[@godwingeorge1880]

Why do we mark with pencil?

[@violinlounge]

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

[@OnlyMyisha]

your violin is a masterpiece

Bru this did not help me it made it worse

[@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!

[@electricunicorn6079]

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

[@joseleonido3479]

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

[@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

[@michelle.b9224]

What is the soap name?

[@violinlounge]

Peg soap: bit.ly/2sBuQnc

[@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.

[@TrishaAhirwar-p9w]

It was helpful thank you so much 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@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!!!

[@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.

[@scharnhorstkaisarbeethoven]

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

[@violinlounge]

Why?

[@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

[@oreodog]

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

[@violinlounge]

It's a palisander Gewa tailpiece with integrated finetuners.

[@oreodog]

Awesome, thank you!

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

[@nariztapada699]

well i take them off al at once 5 years ago now what to do

[@violinlounge]

Put them back on and make sure the bridge is straight. Also check if the soundpost is still in it's place before you start of all this. If you're not very experienced, you might want to have a luthier do this.
