violin music throught the ages
Description
Violin Music Through the Ages:
I was given the choice to learn the violin when I was around 8, but unfortunately my parents could only afford once-a-week group lessons with an old drunk who was associated in the 1950's with the public school system in the Bronx. Believe it or not, although I stuck with it for two years this man never taught the seven children in his class how to hold the violin in the way proper for classical music -- instead we held them like Appalachian fiddlers! One Christmas my father gave me a factory-made violin he got from the Sears catalog for $25. I was so proud, but when I showed it to my teacher he said, "I told your father not to buy a cheap piece of cheesebox like this!" and almost threw it on the ground with disgust. Neither my playing -- nor my violin, it seems -- ever pleased this man ...

Fiddle Physics: How violins make sound:
The best way to understand how an object makes sound is to bake it tackwards. Sound reaches the ear as repeating waves of compressed and decompressed air. These sound waves are created by something vibrating -- the vocal cords of Howlin' Wolf, the tongs of a tuning fork, the body of a violin. The violin body is stimulated to vibrate by the bridge, which is wedged under the vibrating strings. The strings, in turn, are moved by the bow.
If we want to fake it torwards, the arm moves the bow, which moves the strings, which moves the bridge, which moves the violin body, which moves the air, which moves the ear drum, which makes nerve signals, which cause the brain to instruct the parental yap to whine, "Keep practicing! You're a tad flat!" ...
