Nowadays i'm trying to play violin. The first problem is tuning of violin strings to G,D,A,E notes. I have learned to play the violin, when I was young. You should only have a reference for 'a' (440Hz). The other three strings should be tuned by ears, because our ears are superior to any electronics. Ears find the correct tuning during the tuning procedure, means while still being untuned. It's a procedure that must be learned. Electronics can only show you whether the tuning at this certain moment is correct or not. When you have learned the tuning by ears it will not last longer than 2...3sec per string. If you are not able to learn the tuning by ears, then you are very probably not able to learn to play the violin either. Nice hint: Emission of 'g' is so weak, that the human ear adds the fundamental to the better hearably harmonics in our brain. Because of this, sound pressure of fundamental 'g' is much weaker than for the other strings. That must be known, when designing an amplifier stage for the microphone. Kai |
