VIOLIN LOUNGE by Violinist Zlata

Do you desire to play the violin beautifully? To express yourself in music and touch people's hearts?

You're in the right place! Welcome to VIOLIN LOUNGE by Violinist Zlata!

My name is Zlata Brouwer, a performing classical violinist living in Holland.

As a violin teacher I'm specialized in bowing technique and vibrato. Creating a professional sound and playing with confidence and freedom are skills EVERYBODY can learn and I'm looking forward teaching YOU exactly how.

On this channel I publish a new video at least every Wednesday. Most of the times this is a violin lesson, but sometimes it's a performance video of me and my music friends, an interview with an inspiring violinist or a product review.

    I've got a question...From when to when does the violin need to have manteinance? Because for example, my violin hasn't have gotten any maintenance for the last 1 year and a half/2 years, and I'm starting to think that one of the factor that make my sound deteriorate is that..

    Wow! I have been drawn to a viola recently, and I have an idea of what I'll be experiencing. I'll wait until I can get my left trapezius muscle to be more relaxed on the violin until I decide to play with a viola (I am getting much better these days; I need my body to cooperate better 😂😊).

    I wholeheartedly oppose any thumb contact with the frog and find it ironic that some string players just willfully avoid the thumb grip leather. As both luthier and string player myself, I can assure you there is a history and reason for every aspect of the modern bow. If you align your pinky over the eye of the frog, the rest of the hand will fall into a nice organic arrangement on the stick. Bows are the reason I got into luthiery and my goodness they are an unsung engineering marvel.

    It's not a viola bow, but it's an Arcus S violin bow that also has a rounded frog (just smaller than a viola frog, even smaller than a violin frog to make it lighter actually)

    I started my violin journey as an adult beginner exactly 1 year ago. With approx. 1 hour constant daily practice I am playing Handel Bourree and Rieding op35 student concerto ( all 3 mvmt) right now. After a lot of insecurities I really love my instrument and my beginner music by now

    I really hate to have the opposite opinion with most people in the comments, but... Honestly in my ears both sounded very close in terms of sound quality even after the upgrades... I'm not sure if it's the microphone that doesn't pick it up or my untrained non musician ear. In my opinion your video proves quite the opposite. It's the player that makes the instrument sound good... Given that today everything is manufactured with good precision through automated machines it's quite difficult to find an instrument that will be completely unusable... 50 years ago yes probably the expensive ones made a big difference but today I think it's so small that only pros will hear those minute differences in quality... Again maybe if I hear it live it will be different. Volume wise I'm confident since your data showed it which will be very noticeable live. Probably there is a noise gate on the mic so that is why the volume is the same. I bought a 40 euro violin and it really sounds pretty good. And I'm improving with practice on my sound. The tuning for me is very stable. Only the first 2 days it was losing tuning every 5 minutes playing. So yes this was very frustrating but now it's ok. The bridge fits in my case perfectly. I'm really happy with the purchase since otherwise I wouldn't have started the violin... So in my opinion again, for a beginner I believe it's better to buy a meh violin and start putting the hours instead of no violin and never starting it. If you keep playing after 1 or 2 years and you like it then yes buy a good one since you didn't stop the journey. I'm really curious now if it really makes a difference live... I will try to find a good violinist in my area or I will go to a shop and play a good one to see if it's really a difference even if I play bad still. Summarizing if you are a pro then yes don't buy this cheap. If you are broke learning from KZread and not sure if you like it then consider the cheap one given the fact you are good at following instructions from pro KZread violinists on how to set up the bridge correctly. Actually I believe this is the most important to set up the bridge correctly and take your time. I'm telling you from experience. When I bought the cheap one I didn't set it up correct initially. The bridge was ever so slightly tilted. It had a dull sound and didn't match the sound that teachers made in the videos. I watched 3 videos carefully, took my time and followed the pros advice to the letter (Olaf and an Italian guy). Then the sound was exactly right and what it should be. The operator drives a car not the car itself (given we live in the automated factories from china age)

    My favorite hymn❤ I got saved last year and it was the best decision I have ever made. Jesus is coming back someday and it's not too late to accept Him into your life while you still can, in the Bible it says that today is the day of Salvation. It's not in God's will that any of us should perish

    Hi zlata, after a season with an orchestra, I changed my warchal amber strings to tzigane from larsen. They have on my violin a super soft warm mellow sound, better than the warchal ones. Just the E string is bad on my violin I just whistle , just like with the E thomastik orchestra 😳. Awful 🫣, even on my cheap violin i don't make the e string whistel like that. The more I take care of my bowing hand, the more it whistles. Luckily I had some warchal spare E strings, and no more whistle! That is what I can say about the tzigane larsen strings, witch otherwise sound beautiful (and recommended by Muesing)
