How to Play the Violin
From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection:
This is a list of tips on how to play the violin.
When holding the neck of your violin, ensure your wrist is curved and your posture is perfect in order to create a rich tone.
Make sure your left wrist does not "collapse". You should support your violin with your neck and shoulder. Your left hand must be free to move, though you can bring your thumb underneath a bit to slightly counterbalance your fingers.
Keep your fingernails trimmed short. This is important for a clear sound. You should depress the strings with the tips of your fingers on your left hand and you won't do that well with long fingernails. Also, a good vibrato will not be achieved with long fingernails ...

Connexions: Francesco Geminiani: the art of playing the violin:
Three primary 18th century violin treatises (Geminiani, Leopold Mozart and L'Abbé Fils - the Italian, the German and the French) were all created within the space of the decade 1751-1761 and summarize the traditions they represent. A paradox exists, however, in that both too few and too many details of violin playing are known. Certain questions cannot be answered with assurance; the bewildering array of answers within the boundaries of accepted practice leads to the conclusion that there is not one but a variety of 18th century styles ...

Ask the Experts: the art of violin: Q and A:
1. I am an adult who plays for pleasure with a goal of being accepted into one of the Boston area's better amateur orchestras. I am in the market for a new violin. I have been to a number of fine string instrument shops in Boston and other cities and have found that few people are able to articulate clear standards for judging an instrument. I understand that it is subjective, but I am wondering what I should look for in an instrument in terms of tone. There must be some objective guidelines that can help me in selecting an instrument.
Answer: When evaluating the tone of an instrument, I find it most helpful to differentiate between matters of fact and matters of opinion.
Matters of fact include whether the instrument is balanced dynamically (Is each string as loud as the next?) and whether the instrument is balanced tonally (Does each string have the same tone color or timbre as the next, or does the tone color from the lowest to the highest string change in a smooth transition?). Dynamic imbalances can often be addressed with a soundpost adjustment. Tone color imbalances can often be addressed either with a soundpost adjustment or by changing some or all of the strings. Remember that the tone of strings that have stretched out and lost their resiliency will suffer both in volume and in tone color ...

The Violin, introduction: Mastering the violin is a complex job that requires years of intensive training. The violinist must be able to transmit his feelings to the listener while feeling perfectly at ease with the instrument, be it in the accuracy of each note as in the use of the numerous sound capacities of the violin!
There are two main parts to the technique of violin playing: the left hand and the right hand (bow technique). The latter serves exclusively for producing sounds, while the former can influence not only the height of the different notes, but also the quality of their sound ...
