OMG! how do you know about bond's acoustics? please provide more info :) oh...and does anybody know wat the fing used in Duel is? The shaky, shivery thing near the end thats sounds a tremolo?

I've read that Haylie has an authentic Guaneri from somewhere. She's mentioned that her violin cost more than her house so it's quite likely...

.
Guaneri, eh? Must be a really good brand. i checked it up online. its actually GUARNERI. they look pretty cool. it was a family run business. i would love one of them!

instruments....
i'd love that instrument!!! but i'd be so scared to play it in case i broke it!!! mine's sumwhere between 100-200 yrs old i think!

Bahh! i want a old instrument! -_- I guess I'll have to wait until I graduate -_-

My instrument is from 2001. :G

old
my instrument wasnt labelled - so the guy i got it from had some sort of an estimate

.
soph you lucky beast. give me ur address so i can steal ur violin. jking :P i would LUV an old violin.

hehe
well it HAS kinda decreased in value - before i had it, it was sum1 from the WA Sy,phony Orchestra's 'out-door' violin!!! so it was probably played in the rain!!! its had a lot of patch-ups too!

oh dear! that is not good for the instrument. But now it is in your loving hands. :D

yes it is... its my baby i hardly let it out of my sight!!! when i went to rotto i left it at home and really started to miss it!

Your lucky Soph I dont even own my cello yet... Oh yeh and my favourite part in Korobushka is the slow duet of the violins that starts off with an up bow.

I don't own my cello either! We should start a club!

violin
In the beginning of Korobushka they use Sautille bowing which is a fast spicatto done with just the wrist-no arm movement. By the way...my violin is an Italian violin that's about 110+ years old. I just got it not long ago from a very especial friend. I love my violin!

kool yeah i love my violin, its prob not the best and ill need another one at about uni level but shes beautiful for now
