User questions & answers

Question:	Does it come with a shoulder rest

Question:	What's the weight of the violin alone
Answer:	It's easy! Get an amp to headphone jack converter, just plugs into the amp port on the violin and provides headphone ports. You'll also need a muter, it's a big rubber thing that slips over the strings and bridge, that reduces sound allot, but not so much that the headphones wouldn't pick it up. I'll drop some links below:Muter:http://www.amazon.com/Glaesel-Violin-Ultra-Practice-Mute/dp/B0002II6V0/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1430597446&sr=1-1-fkmr0&keywords=glasser+muterAdapter:http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IF0JSVO/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=5CARPKV8BWHG&coliid=I1HLDE6SLLNSYB

About Tuning

• Adjust the pitch of each string using the pegs.
• After tuning is complete, make sure that the tailpiece side of the bridge is still properly aligned. If the bridge is leaning in either direction, slightly loosen the strings and carefully re-align the bridge using both hands.
• When the pegs can not tighten the strings, pitch the place between issue peg and peg box with rosin to increase the friction so that the issue peg can tighten the strings.

1. Loosen the strings slightly

To avoid snapping a string while placing the bridge, loosen the strings slightly. You loosen violin strings by turning the tuning knobs on the end of the violin. Strings should be loose enough that you can easily pull them up and down, allowing them to be lifted up enough to slip bridge under the strings.

2. Positioning the Bridge

The lower side of the bridge is the e-string side, and the taller side of the bridge is the g-string side. Put the bridge in the place of trough-like cuboid, make sure the e-string comes over the e-string side, and the g-string comes over the g-string side.

If you don't know which strings are which, when the violin's head is facing your body, the g-string will be the string farthest to the left. The e-string will be the string farthest to the right.

3. Tighten the strings

Now you can re-tighten your strings to keep the knob in place. Gently turn each knob on the bottom of the violin. It's a good idea to use one hand to hold the bridge in place while tightening the strings, to prevent it from falling over. Tighten the strings until they are secure enough to keep the bridge in place while still having a very slight amount of slack.

Notes to New Players

1. Viola need to be tuned every time before playing. When tuning, push pegs inward so the peg stay in place, sometimes extra force is needed to keep the pegs from slipping.

2. For the first time, bow need to be rosined for 5 minutes (or 30-50 full passes), and after every 4-6 hours practice, rosin need to be reapplied.

3. Loose bow hair each time after playing, and tighten your bow by gently tuning the tension screw.

4. After playing the viola, gently clean it with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth to remove rosin build-up on the strings and any dust, oil or sweat.

5. If you need professional instructions, please feel free to reach out to us, we are always here to help.

User questions & answers

Question:	I know nothing about violins... I am purchasing for my 8 year old daughter, would I go with 1/2 size, or 3/4? Thank you
Answer:	It depends on the persons size. I would take her to a music shop and see what you can learn. If I were to take a guess I would say go with the 3/4, but it really depends on the size of the child. If the 3/4 is too large, it wouldn't be for too long. The scale on the smaller violins is shorter making the reach easier for smaller hands. A music teacher at school would be a good source to settle the matter. This violin is inexpensive so if you get the wrong size it is not a big loss.
Question:	Is it ready to play out of the box, or is some kind of setup required
Answer:	Out of the box, just tune the violin (tuner not included), tighten the bow and rosin it for about 10-15 minutes, and the violin is set.
Question:	Is Style 1 heavier than Style 2 (since one more wing)? Thanks
Answer:	Style 2 is lighter than style 1 because of the missing corner, however, they are not much different in the weight.
Question:	Does it come with strings
Answer:	Yes, as far as I know. Mine did and only took minor tuning.

The outfit features a 1/8 output jack that allows you to connect to most guitar amps or PA systems (1/4 to 1/8 cable included), volume control that allow you to choose the ambience you want, headphone jack for practice and a line-in jack for practice with a background track. This violin package includes a well-padded lightweight hard case, a bow, rosin, bridge, pickup, aux cable, and headphones. Great for Student, Intermediate and Professional Violinist.

How to choose violin sizes

Violins are available in 8 different sizes: 4/4 (also called full size), 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/10, 1/16 and 1/32. Size 4/4 is the biggest and size 1/32 is the smallest. All adults, regardless of their size, use the size 4/4 violin.

To measure what size violin best suits you, you need to know the length between your neck and the middle of your left-hand palm (when your hand is fully extended and raised perpendicular to your body, just like holding a violin). Most of the teachers prefer students to use the length from the neck to the wrist for measurement instead of the neck to mid-palm approach. The violin size determined by the neck/wrist approach would be the size that is more comfortable for students to hold. The violin size determined by the neck/mid-palm approach would be the biggest size students should use. The following table lists the length of each violin size. Find your length using your preferred approach and use that to determine the size of violin to get.

If you have a teacher, you should ask for your teacher's recommendation. If you don't have a teacher, we would recommend using the neck/wrist approach for students not using full size; for students who are deciding whether to used size 3/4 or size 4/4, use the neck/mid-palm approach. This is because it is always better those students feeling comfortable holding and playing the violin. However, while deciding between size 3/4 and size 4/4, if neck/mid-palm approach allows for size 4/4, then buying a size 4/4 is more economical since you don't have to buy another bigger size violin later. This is completely based on economical consideration. You should still decide what best suits your need.

User questions & answers

Question:	Hi my son has a 15'' viola. His viola string set is 139 medium. Does this set work for his viola
Answer:	This 15"-16" in the name is not the length of the strings, it's the length of the viola it's sized for. So, yes, 15" will fit.
Question:	can you plug it into a amp because the images do not show a jack
Answer:	Yes. There are 3 sockets on the back of violin. One is "Line out" (for amp). One is "Mic" and one is "Phones". The Included cord for the amp is a little over 9 feet and is decent quality. There is no static backround noise and my violin comes in clear. *In the stock photo the amp cable is to the right of the headphones.
Question:	How can I plug it to my laptop? There is a chord but it doesn't fit the computer outlet
Answer:	It has a quarter inch plug, look for either an A to D connector, or (more easily a rocksmith cable) a USB interface. Electric instruments are almost all the same you'll never have the same sound as an acoustic. But it will give you a unique and interesting sound. Especially at this price point.
Question:	how quiet is it? I would be practicing during my toddlers nap time and need it to be very very quiet/silent with out an amp or head phones
Answer:	I get about 81 dB playing open strings. It’s not so quiet.
Question:	Does the kit come with strings attached or must you string them yourself
Answer:	The strings come attached. In fact, as soon as my violin came in, I took it to my local music store (who strung my acoustic violin) to have him check it out to see if the violin and strings are of good quality. He thought is was decent quality. I couldn't be happier with it, especially for the price. When you first get it, you will have to re-tune the strings every 10 minutes or so while you are playing, but after about a week of re-tuning (and it does need tuning less frequently with time) you are good to go. It doesn't hold a tune as well as my acoustic...I tune it before I begin playing usually, but it does hold well and the sound is fantastic. You can play it through an amp or into headphones and I think the sound quality is awesome. Hope this helps. :)

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you plug this into a computer to record/mix with software

Question:	Can a left handed player use this violin
Answer:	We set up and test all of our instruments in our shop, so if the YEV violin is ordered through our seller store on Amazon, our luthier will stand up the bridge, shape it as needed, and perform a standard instrument setup (includes testing the electronics) before it ships out.
Question:	What does they warranty cover
Answer:	The YEV104 NT is the 4-string version; the YEV105 NT is the 5-string version (natural).

Answer:	Hi, the Yamaha YEV104 NT at this price does not include a bow or case, but does include the violin, strings, and a structured cardboard box.
Question:	what is the "hook" like thing coming out of the neck of the instrument
Answer:	It depends on the persons size. I would take her to a music shop and see what you can learn. If I were to take a guess I would say go with the 3/4, but it really depends on the size of the child. If the 3/4 is too large, it wouldn't be for too long.

Answer:	Everything that is in the picture comes in the case.
Question:	Is it ready to play out of the box, or is some kind of setup required
Answer:	I got the 4/4 size however my grandaughter has the 7/8 and she is 10. The violins are so close in size its hard to tell the difference however her bow in lenght is shorter.
Question:	Is Style 1 heavier than Style 2 (since one more wing)? Thanks
Answer:	5 -7 yrs about 18"arm span 1/47-9yrs about 20"arm span 1/2
Question:	Does it come with strings
Answer:	The bridge is the difference. A fiddle is a violin with a flatter bridge and a violin with a rounded bridge is played in the classic style and just called violin. Fiddle, as some mentioned is related to folk, country western, zydeco, bluegrass, folksy types of music. This is because the flatter bridge allows one to play chords more easily by making it easier to bow two or more strings at once. Whereas a standard violin with rounded bridge is easier to bow single notes as one would in an orchestral setting.
