This will help prevent rosin build-up on the violin and the strings. Wiping the strings where you place your fingers will also help to prevent the oils in your hands from causing the strings to deteriorate faster. We also have a variety of cleaning products for different purposes. The varnish on orchestral string can be very easily damaged by using the wrong product whereas ebony is much more durable but quite porous. Products that can be used on ebony would damage varnish and products that can be used on varnish would soak into the ebony, so different products are designed for different areas of the instrument, for example polish made specifically for the ebony parts of an instrument. We generally recommend seeking advice for what to use from a professional or leaving big cleaning efforts to a trained luthier to prevent causing further damage to your instrument. Regularly wiping with the cloth will hopefully keep your instrument in a state where you won't need to use the cleaning products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes the shoulder rest need to be sized up to the player?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach shoulder rest product is designed to match a specific size of instrument. This ensures a snug proper fit to prevent the shoulder rest falling off too easily or damaging the ribs of the violin from being too tight. We do not need to match the size of the shoulder rest to the specific player as long as you know the size of the instrument. We do recommend bringing your instrument in with you when buying a shoulder rest as there is a variety of differently shaped shoulder rests that will provide different levels of support and comfort depending on your playing style and your body. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the difference between a practice mute and an orchestral mute\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePractice and orchestral mutes are used for very different purposes. Practice mutes are an accessory usually rubber or metal that fits over the bridge and are solely, as the name suggests, used for practicing in situations where you are not able to play at full volume. There are a variety of different types of practice mutes but all will vastly dampen the sound of your instrument. Orchestral mutes on the other hand are much smaller and will generally clip onto the strings between the bridge and the tailpiece and can then be clipped on and off the bridge very quickly. These mutes will effect the volume of a violin much less and are used during certain orchestral pieces as an effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the best option for marking fingerings on a fingerboard?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere are a lot of different methods used by teachers to mark finger positions on fingerboards.  Most teachers use stickers which is generally fine but can cause some issues after a while. normal stickers are prone to peeling up from the amount of contact when a child is playing, this can cause buzzing and other issues. They also generally leave a large amount of sticky residue on the fingerboard which can be uncomfortable for the player and difficult to remove. We strongly recommend avoiding using things such as whiteout for marking the fingerboard as it is extremely difficult to remove without actually shaving down the fingerboard. There are products such as fingerboard tape and the \"First Fret\/Don't Fret\" stickers that are specifically designed for use on a fingerboard. They will last much longer than any other option, will not peel up as easily and will not leave much sticky residue behind.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy is there a big price difference between different rosins?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGenerally, as you pay more for a rosin, the grain of the powder from the rosin will be much finer. This means that more expensive rosins will be less scratchy and have a smoother sound. Some rosins also have special additives to them that will effect the sound such as the Larica Gold rosin has gold particles in the rosin, while others are designed to work better with certain sets of strings such as Pirastro's line of rosins. One of our most popular professional level rosins, the Leatherwood rosin is a bespoke rosin handmade in Australia. This rosin is specifically designed to work best with Australia's climate and humidity whereas most other rosins were designed with European or American climates in mind. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the difference between the different bow grips?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere are two different kinds of accessories that will go on a bow. There are bow grips such as the Stringvision bow grip which are designed to make holding a bow more comfortable by adding padding in the case of foam bow grips or add more grip in the case of rubber bow grips. The other category is bow hold correctors or learning aides. These products, for example the Bow Hold Buddies, are designed for students and players learning to hold a bow correctly. They are designed with shaping the hand in a particular way or making sure that the pinky finger or thumb are in the correct position. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow do I know which music stand to get?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are a few factors to consider when choosing a music stand; portability, durability, and height. The biggest factor is portability, will this stand be set up in a room at home and not move? or does it need to transported to and from school or gigs? We have a variety of different folding stands by Onstage that come with bags for easy transport. But, this ties in to durability, if the stand is just going to be in one place, we have a variety of stands such as the Manhasset stand which does not fold up but is much sturdier and has a solid back plate. Finally in terms of height, will you be playing standing or sitting? For some people, they will find that when playing while standing that some stands at their maximum height will be still too short for them to see easily without effecting their posture. This can cause neck and shoulder issues over prolonged periods of time. Manhasset stands will extend taller than most other stands and are generally used as the standard stand by most schools and orchestras. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat is a wolf note eliminator?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA wolf note\/tone is caused when the pitch of a note being played is close to the natural resonant frequency of the body of an instrument. This causes a wobbling or beating effect in the note. Wolf notes are usually only noticed in bowed instruments and is frequent problem for mostly cellos. A wolf note is most frequently on or between E and F# for cello or G# for a double bass. A wolf note can never truly be gotten rid of, instead we use what is called a wolf note eliminator. A wolf note eliminator is a metal tube with a mounting screw and an interior rubber sleeve. This fits onto the string between the bridge and the tail piece to weight the string. The eliminator will need to be placed differently on the string depending on what note the wolf note is sounding. This weighting of the string will reduce the effect of the wolf note or influences the placement of the wolf note to be in between two semitones, essentially moving the wolf note in between where a player would play\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is a Rondofile?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRondofile is an Australian company who have created a unique display folder initially designed for music teachers and students. The three tabs on the sides of the pages will securely hold your music while leaving the majority of the paper exposed allowing annotation or correction to be quicker and easier for musicians and instrumentalists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat are the essential accessories needed for playing a string instrument?\n\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost of our instruments are sold as an outfit, which means that included with the instrument is a case and a bow. Also necessary for playing is rosin for all instruments as well as a shoulder rest for violin and viola players, or a rockstop\/slipstop for cello and double bass players. We very strongly recommend a cleaning cloth to clean any rosin off your instrument after playing, and a music stand as you will need somewhere to put your music! We also believe that when buying an instrument, it is in your best interests to have a professional assist with selecting a shoulder rest and chin rest. In our experience, we have found that the basic chin rest and standard shoulder rest combination does not work for very many people. Playing with the wrong chin rest and shoulder rest combination can cause a large amount of discomfort and deter especially children from wanting to practice or continue playing. Over a long period of time, and incorrect set-up can cause irreparable damage to your neck and shoulder with some players even requiring full shoulder reconstructions. As such we are very strong advocates for ensuring everyone has the correct set up for them from the beginning.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"dycem-black-hole-cello-rock-stop","title":"Dycem Black Hole Cello Rock Stop","description":"\u003cp\u003eStop your cello from sliding around!
