If there are any violinists here... I play several other instruments and am asking for a violin for Christmas. I have picked out the Giardinelli Silver Creek Model 4 violin, and the description says that it comes with a Brazilwood half-lined bow stick. I have looked everywhere, and I can't figure out if that means that it comes with the horse hair, or if it's just the actual bow and I need to take it somewhere to have the horse hair put in. Here is a link to the website: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Help please? And if you have any other violin suggestions, please tell me :)
i personally on the whole situation though would wait to buy the bow until after i purchase the violin. with the violin, i would take it around and try different kinds of bows. the tone of the violin might be altered due to the kind of bow. you need to just experiment with many- visit a violin shoppe or something until you find the right fit.
its like wand shopping in harry potter i guess. [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
perfectallycutec answered Monday December 3 2007, 2:35 pm: in every violin i have ever bought, the horse hair has always come already strung on. if this isn't true for this one, though, you can get it strung at any violin or music specialty store and get it done inexpensively.
