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 player usually holds the instrument under the chin, supported by the left shoulder (but see below for variations of this posture). The strings are sounded either by drawing the bow across them or by plucking them (pizzicato). The left hand regulates the sounding length of the strings by stopping them against the fingerboard with the fingertips, producing different notes ...
