Tone preference What sort of a sound do you like to get out of your violin?
I like a dark, full sound in the lower part of my range a nice clear sound in the middle part, and I like the upper part of my range to be brilliant without being shrill or harsh.
Re: Tone preference I like a mellow, resonant warm tone. Except that's not possible on the E string (not for me anyway) which is why I adopted viola

Re: Tone preference Yeah, I have problems with my E-string sounding too bright or too harsh. I suppose those are the pitfalls of having a steel string, though. It would be cool to have a balance between strength and warmth/richness, though.
--- Breathing is important! If you don't breathe, your sound will deteriorate, your phrasing will suffer, and you will die.
Re: Tone preference Mm, not sure what my E string is. I'll see if I can find out when I've caught up with the posts
