Hello PV!

Dominant ang ginagamit ko sa aking violin, pero nang nag lesson na ako, at naka scedule na ako mag practice araw araw, kaso naisip ko na sayang lang itong Dom para pagpractisan lamang, so bumili ako ng mumurahing string sa may Salonga[Raon, Quiapo] Alice A703A ung inabot sa akin. well okay 100P lng per set. Yep! pinalitan ko na ng Alice string si Yvette ^^;

Problem ko sa Alice ay mabilis siyang mag screech, lalo na pag mag cross strings at ang sakit sa tenga, pero kung iingatan naman ang bowing maiiwasan iyun, matigas gamitin ito, medyo mahirap pindutin... pero siguro lalambot pagtagal.

So, maliban sa mga binangit ko, napansin ko wala silang halos pinagkaiba sa Doms, ung mga gusto ko na sound na ginagawa ko sa Doms nagagawa ko rin dito sa Alice pero with a lot of care, kundi mag screech ito.
Pero pag gumamit ako ng Alice sa Hofner china, talagang hinde ko matatagalan ang tunog nito, pero ng sinubukan ko ng Doms itong Hofner ang gandang pakinggan? Mukhang may malaking potential ang Doms na hinde ko naririnig pag nakakabit ito kay Yvette? anyway mukhang mag stick muna ako dito sa Alice habang estudyante pa lang ako.

Hinde ko minamaliit ang Dominant, nakaka addict itong gamitin dahil malambot, mataba ung strings at maganda agad ang sound na napoproduce... maliban ung E string nito, nakakapikon!


THE BIG QUESTIONS:

- Pag titingin ka ba ng violin dapat cheap strings ang nakalagay?

- Nakakadaya ba ang mamahiling string sa low grade violin?

- Meron pa bang Paganini Rosin na binibenta? Bumili ako ng Pirastro Eudoxa eh hinde ko magustuhan ang amoy, Nalalapit sa caramel ung amoy ng Paganini parang sarap kagatin hmmmmmm.

Thank you!

@TalBlaiser

Naku complicated topic ang strings !!! ... ahahaha... pwedeng maubos ang isang afternoon sa kwentuhan at comparison lng ng mga different strings available !!!!... ^_^

ang masasabi ko lang there are lots of strings and string brands available out there. These are developed kasi different players look for different sounds.

Perlon is in fashion since its invention to mimic the sweet sound of gut without the tuning instability by cause of weather etc.

Steel is preferred by Irish Fiddle players.. si Make Make at Lowell eto preferred nila.

Naked Gut are still available for Early Music players - Renaissance and Baroque. You can't play the 15 Mystery Sonatas, all in Scordatura, by Biber if you're using synthetics or steel.

Kung sa practice ng etudes for basic practice mas maganda ang Steel na Affordable ... hindi nakakapanghinayang ipang harabas. **Although i would advocate :

1. Synthetic string prices be lowered... para hindi nahihirapan at hindi nafufrustrate ang mga beginner violinist students. Warchal is developing a perlon string for children. Kaso A.) Will it be affordable ??? Baka naman libo libo parin ang price ?!! - Pointless din diba ??
B.) Will it be available here in the Philippines ??? takot mag import ang mga "stores" dito sa pinas... fearing na ikalulugi lng nila to ... they're not brave enough ... hahaha... o_O

Tungkol sa Rosin, Eudoxa was originally designed for Pirastro Eudoxa gut strings... ang habol namen dito yung Less Powdery nature nya... ^_^ ...tsaka manipis ang tunog ng violin ko pag hindi Eudoxa ang nakalagay sa bow ko ... gustu ko pag nakikipahid ako sa kanila dito sa PV ng Eudoxa... nagiging "Full" ang sound ni Sprezzy... <3

Low grade strings can produce this steel sound na nakairitar. Usually I avoid these...pero mahal talaga yung Dominants. One time I tried Prelude Strings from D'Addario. Ok yung sound and very responsive.

Meron akung brand ginagamit Rossini Strings (Made in Canada) and it's not that expensive. 200ph per set. Pero yung sound is very good. One thing is that it's very durable. I have mine in my violin for a year na and still it sounds good. :-)

@ baroqueviolin & kanjiruminamoto: Maraming salamat sa info, buti na lang pala hindi ako kaagad nagbukas ng thread para ibenta itong Eudoxa. Nakakalungkot man sabihin na magpapa alam na ako sa Paganini, bangong bango pa naman ako doon parang sarap kainin ^^; pero kakaiba talaga itong Eudoxa, ung sinasabi ko na screech laki ng nabawas, kaunting practice pa sa bowing at siguro tuluyan ng mawawala :D at mas buhay ang Alice string dito.

He he he mukhang wala pa ako sa level para mapakinabangan ang full potential ng Doms, maliban ung comfortable play nito. practice muna ako sa Alice steel strings. Oo nga pala:

@baroqueviolin ano ung naked gut? As in Gut/bituka lang iyun? walang wounded coil? parang interesado ako, I mean ung tunog kaya nito ay kagaya ng mga tinutugtug nila Handel, bach & Vivaldi? soft & soothing at pang relax & pam patulog? habol ko sa violin ung malalambot ang tunog.


@ jantigercat: Uy! saan mo nakukuha iyang Rossini? gusto ko ring subukan please, meron akong nabili na Rotosound, 280P kaso masyadong magaspang, natatakot ako ilagay kay Yvette baka magasgas nito ung nut. at nakakatusok sa magkabilang dulo, ewan ko kung bakit ganito.

Sino ba ung mga source ninyo? kailangan ko rin magkaroon ng contact sa kanila ^^; Hay marami akong natututunan dito sa forum, nakaka inlove tuloy pumunta dito araw araw :D

@Talras

1.) hindi ikaw ang titingin kung mumurahin na strings ang nakalagay sa violin.. Kung nagtitipid sila, steel ang ilalagay nila.. nasa nagbebenta yan.. you just need to learn the major highlights sa pagpili ng violin..

Kung nanghihinayang ka sa Doms, you can try the low priced SYNTHETIC core string tulad ng binebenta ng Kaibigan ko.. INNIG string.. I can suggest this to you kasi madami na sa PV ang nakasubok nito.. Ask mo yung ibang nakasubok na and they will tell na sulit siya for its price. 400 petot per set.. Kung gusto mo din meron yung Huayin, Red Label etc.. pero nasa 4 digit na yun per set..

2.) Hindi siguro daya ang tawag sa ganun.. More like upgrade yun pag bumili ka ng quality strings. Tapos samahan mo na din ng tamang set up ng bridge at tuning pegs at tamang position ng sound post.. Kaya ng luthier yan... gaganda ang murang violin mo,,

3.) So far wala pa namang local reseller ng Andrea Bang Rosin, puro online palang.. Regarding eudoxa rosin, it seems like hindi mo pa napagdaanan ang mga murang rosin kaya hindi mo pa nadistiguish ang difference nito sa iba.. It is far better than the local brandless rosins.

Regarding the smell, Ganun talaga ang natural na amoy ng main ingredient ng Rosin which is PINE TREE RESIN.. Kung nakaamoy ka na ng sinibak na kahoy ng Pine Tree, pareho sila ng amoy.. So I guess, yung Andrea Bang ang may scent additive..

Para sakin kasi, kinalakhan ko na ang amoy ng pine tree dito sa baguio kaya para sakin mabango ang scent nito.. lalo yung bagong sibak (although bawal na pumutol ngayon)... Was it the Strings or the Violin? 112191

@kanjiruminamoto: Binili ko lang sa local na music store. Lahat ng stocks nila mula Manila. :-) Baka meron kayo dyan.

@TalBlaiser: Medyo magaspang yung Rossini Strings compared sa ibang strings but very durable. One problem is that it takes a long time to "break out"; meaning mag mature yung sound. Nung una, it will sound parang metal..but over time it will mellow down.

Hay, bumili ako ng bagong violin. Dynasty yung brand and I need to break out the sound of it by constant playing.

Ok lang ang Vision. Trusted na ang brand na Thomastik. Similar siya sa Dominants.

Pero wag kang umasa na tatagal ang vision sa violin mo kung hindi ka pa gaanong refined violin player. Mafrufrustrate ka lang. Kasi hindi tatagal ng 6mos ang brilliance ng sound niyan.

Kung gusto mo ng synthetic, try mo yung mga chinese like HUAYIN, OPERA, or other synthetic strings sa Ebay.
