In the past, the bow was curved, similar to the shape of the erhu bow, but with the development and need of playing techniques, it was not fixed into the modern shape in the 18th century.

The violin has a wide range, with 3 and a half octaves often acting and occasionally exceeding this range, with 4 strings being G, D, A, E, with different timbres.

Because the violin is an instrument played with a bow, it can play a continuous long note, and it is a very expressive singing instrument, which can play a very lyrical, sweet, graceful, and beautiful melody, and can play a passionate, excited tune and lively, cheerful, and powerful **.

Bow holding position: Relax your right hand and hang it down, palm to the left, make a ring with your thumb and middle finger, and hold the bow firmly. The other fingers are naturally bent and relaxed on the bow, and the little fingertip is bent on the bow.

The distance between the index and middle fingers should be wider. Relax your shoulders, hold the bow firmly, and make sure that the tail finger is strong enough to support the entire bow, and when the tail finger rests on the bow, it should be bent.

When playing the violin, the bow is fixed in one position. Split bow: A bow plays a note, and the note should be drawn cleanly and clearly.

The violin is equipped with four strings, and the interval relationship between the strings is a pure fifth, which is notated by a treble clef, and the pitch is fixed: generally speaking, the first string has a clear and clear tone; The timbre of the second string is soft and elegant; The timbre of the third string is song-like and slightly tense; The timbre of the fourth string is deep and broad.

The violin is fixed with a fixed fifth degree. When beginners calibrate, you can use the tuner to calibrate each empty string, after mastering, only align the A string, and then calibrate the A and D strings, and then the A and E strings, and use the double tone to tune, and repeat the proofreading until the four strings are calibrated. When calibrating, if the pins are too tight to be twisted, you can apply a little pencil lead or dry soap; If it's too loose and slippery, apply a little minced rosin or chalk.
