Afternoon but surely, I come again. I offer on this occasion a cultural breviary to meet our friend the violin. Proceed to review the anatomy from top: the top of the instrument is crowned by the head or scroll (Eng. scroll), which seems a sort of conch. Immediately below it is the box of pegs or peg ( peg box), which are inserted each pins (pegs ), which serve to keep the instrument tuned. In each of these pins are inserted strings sun (lower left pin, with reference to the illustration of the violin that accompanies this text), re (top left), the (upper right) and me (bottom right). It is important that the strings are threaded on the pins so that the voltage is higher as the same turning the pins to the scroll, and turning them loose on button (buttom end ). It is also important not to tighten the strings too because they can rupture and even damage to our dear friend with the lash to give the break. (For those who have not tuned ear that plane we fail to recognize the height of each of the sounds, it is useful to purchase an electronic tuner from any store selling musical instruments. Over time, one is slowly grasping wave.) The part that mediates between the headstock and the body of the violin, called neck (neck ), on which is the pitch ( fingerboard). Let's step back, to greet the nut (nut ) that joins the neck or neck with the headstock.
Each of the strings extending from the pin to the tailpiece or tiracuerdas ( tailpiece), the piece of black wood (ebony) that rises to the right side of the chin support or chin (chin rest ) and which also embed the tuners ( fine tuners), a type of screws used to more precisely adjust the pitch string. The ridge is attached at the bottom of the button, already mentioned, which offers a contrary point of tension to the neck for the string tension.
The bridge ( bridge) is the clear piece of wood whose function is to keep tensions high and the strings for the smooth sound of the instrument. This is a very delicate piece, as it may break up due to the tension of the strings when they come to break and requires a precise position on the instrument. Viewed from the front, a curved higher side than the other. On the instrument, is positioned so that the high side is to the left, more or less the center of the S-shaped holes (these holes are towards its middle a small horizontal needle, which provides the framework for locating the bridge). If you want more information and care to know about tools, I recommend the blog http://zenker-instrumentos.blogspot.com/2007/09/introduccion-la-mayora-de-los.html
The sound produced by vibration of the strings is captured by the instrument thanks to these S-shaped holes, called ears, eses or Fs ( F holes) and funnel sound waves into or soundboard.
This soundboard, which itself would be the body of the violin, the leaf is so suggestively how female. The top, which are the ears, known as table harmonic ( sound board ) and its sides are the ribs steak ( upper bout) and flange ( C bout ). In the soundboard is the mainstay or soul (sound post ).
olvidársenos should not your partner, bow ( bow ), Which begins at the tip ( tip) to the heel ( frog) the entire length of the rod ( stick). Towards the bottom is the twisted ( winding), which rely on the fingers holding it, the ferrule (ferrule ) And the screw ( Adjusting screw), used to adjust the bristles or horsehair ( bow hair). When the instrument is new, is to rub the bristles on resin or pitch ( rosin ) until there is sound. Otherwise, you may think scammers with a violin mute. Sayonara!
