At least with frets, you can hit the right note easily. Violinists really impress me with how they can hit the right note without being too flat or too sharp on a smooth fingerboard

Having this done on a Yamaha YEV-105 by a British luthier soon, crazy to see you do that now! Definitely helps in seeing the process. Filing the frets down should help a lot with shifting and vibrato. Great video, thank you Rob!

Yeah, I wonder how it would sound with a custom made fingerboard with the frets just being raised bits of the ebony.

I use one of the fingerboard stickers with frets that you showed at the beginning of your video on one of my violins. I think it helps with my practice. I’m placing my fingers right on top of the frets rather than just behind them - except for my fourth finger which I will admit tends to get a little bit lazy and starts being placed behind the fret. I’ve been trying to learn Bach’s prelude #1 for cello and the frets on my violin have been very helpful. The frets also help with left hand tension. As I work on something I try to use less left hand pressure and at that point if I can actually feel the frets then I know pressing down too hard. Reducing left hand tension helps with my bow arm.

HAHAHA i see you followed through with your comment on Charles Berthoud's fretless bass video! Bravo

Geared Tuners and Black Diamond N719 Strings would make things sound more interesting.

That was certainly very interesting and gave a fair result, but... The awesome bass guitar player, Leland Sklar, frets his basses with mandolin wire which is thinner than guitar fret wire. I think that might give a result that would be more suitable to the violin and would make vibrato much easier to do as well being less like "speedbumps" on the fingerboard.

Lots of violin manufacturers will fit frets. Especially in the electric violin territory. Most notably Mark Woods Viper, these use much finer forests though.. There are two ways of fretting a violin, like a guitar where your finger goes behind the fret, or barely noticeable frets where they are there primarily so you can sense the position. When playing in a loud band you often can’t fully hear yourself and then your intonation will be way off.

Those are virgin frets, they could do with being filed down to be honest, to get it started for you. A guitar tech might be able to help you a little there. Also, I believe they invented this instrument, it is called a "Mandolin" xDDDD

haha it sounds so much like a mandolin! More of a cross between a violin and a mandolin since I can bow it. Filing down the frets would help them feel more comfortable, for sure.

Looks cool! I am a guitar player I wanted to learn to play violin and I always wondered 2 things. #1. why don't beginner violins just have some low scalloped frets or even inlay fret markers for a visual cue. I just painted frets on with silver model paint. Many instructors even have students tape makers. #2 Why don't violin like instruments have geared tuning pegs? The kids string section of every elementary school is always the most out of tune group, hurts my head.

He did an amazing job & to tell you the truth I didn't think it was going to work but I can admit when I'm wrong also I'm very impressed 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Damn he can open a costume store considering number of costumes he have 😂

I think it turned out great. Yes the notes are different, but it still sounds good if you put meaning into it, like the way you play.

Honestly the fretted violin doesn't have a bad sound, but it would only work in certain genres

Interesting. Not what I was expecting. So awesome

Hey Rob,I'm having a violin tomorrow,What should I learn first?

Thank you for sharing that. I played Viola/Violin when I was young, but I totally forgot how to play, and like many adults, I don't have too much free time to keep studying violin. For sure I'll reach a local violin maker to help me with some project as you did. I just want to play some music at my home, and not be a professional violinist.

honestly i play my viola like a guitar all the time, it’s not too hard once you figure out how to make chords with the strings tuned in fifths rather than major/minor thirds. i feel like it goes out of tune very quickly from all the aggressive plucking/strumming but that’s a sacrifice i’m willing to make.

Hello Shanta, I play my viola like a guitar as well, since I've put frets on them. But I'm wondering, do you bow whole chords as well? I've noticed that when I pluck chords on my fretted viola, it sounds good and in tune but when I bow chords, they don't always sound in tune. Do you have the same experience?

@-shanta-

Жыл бұрын

@@OurMagicalNature one of the exercises I've done quite a bit is one where you bow different chords in quick succession. this helps your fingers to find positions easily and quickly, and develops your bow technique. as my viola doesn't have frets im not really sure what the issue could be on yours other than if your strings are out of tune.

Tbh i think the fretted violin sounded super crisp and would sound amazing with comps that had a lot of short notes

Basically you have there a really cool mandolin! ~JSV

Been there, done that, A few observations. Firstly, if you don't like the shortness of the fingerboard, start off with a viola or a 'cello. Secondly, those glue-on fingerboards that they make for violins have the same problems as the frets that you put on ....they don't stay flat at the edges. Thirdly, mandolin makers have no problems making short, curved fingerboards, so maybe you should have taken your violin to a mandolin builder and asked him to fit a mandolin neck and fingerboard, Fifth, but not last, why not just get yourself a mandolin and play it with a bow? A mandolin is a ready-made fiddle with a bow ! And an archtop guitar is already a 'cello with a fingerboard. (Yes, I know about the viola da gamba....)

This wacky projects seem FUN MORE MORE MORE PLEASE!

In fact, the instruments from the viola da gamba family are fretted (with gut frets) and they exist for 500 years. Frets are not bad for bowed instruments at all. The violin community is just very conservative and continues to spread a lot of stereotypes. For example, they say that vibrato is completely impossible with frets (we can see it is not true), that mechanical tuners are bad, etc.

being fretless has its own advantages too, at least they can have a smooth glissando and dont have to stick to the 12 tone tuning system

Next step - when Davie504 and Two Set Violins makes three BASS Violins to play with you:)

Vibrato on fretted instruments usually is done by moving fingers vertically, not horizontally, as on frettless. Thats why you had some problems with it.

What a craftsman!

I wonder if he could make a violin that is designed like a resonator guitar, like a metal violin body with resonator things, I wonder what it would sound like

What a cool idea Rob. Give that fretted Frankenstein to a decent ukulele or mandolin player and create a video of their experience! It seems sacrilegious to fret a violin, but you might have just hit on the next instrument craze.

Hi, thanks for your video.. Can the violin tuned just like guitar intervals, on fourth? D-G-B-E Or Ukulele with bowed version? G-C-E-A Regardless different tuning and tensions, Is it playable?

@OurMagicalNature

Жыл бұрын

I've tried that and it works. But the strings of a violin are much closer near eachother so it's harder to play certain chords that require 3 fingers next to eachother, like for example an A-major chord. On a guitar you have can place 3 fingers next to eachother on the second fret but on a violin there's not enough room for that which results in certain fingers moving to a slightly lower or higher position resulting in playing a slightly lower or higher note.

I swear to god rob ive been repeating the dog singing with the violin for 20 minutes now.

vibrato on a violin is a totally different motion than on guitar. on a guitar you need to bend the string up and down ACROSS the fingerboard, whereas on a violin you wobble back and forth (ALONG the fingerboard)

That's a surprisingly musical dog

Why not just tie the frets on using nylon strings? That's how they put frets on gitterns and lutes in medieval and renaissance times, except they used gut. Much less fuss than this.

Clue me in. How can one hear the violin with all that loud music "accompanying" it?

Had this for years 😆

I am... unsure if I am the only one hearing this, but the frets kinda sound like... a tiny bit out of tune? Okay that sounds worse than it is, but I mean not like "this is bad" out of tune, but more like how a Piano is kinda spaced in the well tempered thing. It was only 1-2 notes I noticed it at, but that made me wonder... are the frets on a guitar doing the same thing as the keys on a piano? I would guess so but i just never "observed" that as much and given intonation is more "perfect" on a violin it just kinda stood out to me.
