A week or two ago I bought a guitar pedal for my electric violin. It was working great until today. Now it's not distorting the sound and the little red "on" light isn't turning on. I've tried four different batteries, but it still won't turn on. Does anyone have any other ideas? The pedal is a Boss MT-2 Metal Zone.

Any suggestions on how to strengthen my pinky finger?  ...It's terribly weak and I don't know of any kind of exercises for it.

Thanks!

Hello violinnovators!

I have a brand-new keyboard amp with chorusing and reverb, and a mostly-brand-new electric violin, and I am trying to figure out just what to do with it all. What kind of bands do you play with? What kind of effects pedals/boxes do you use, and why? Jazz? Rock? Are there any recordings that inspire you?

I don't know what to get. I have been playing the classical violin for 7 years and am 13. I am on book 6 of Suzuki (is that how you spell it?) and my price range is up to about $600... Any suggestions? I'm in a band-ish thing (we have an electric cello) My obsession is music so...
Thanks!

I was struck with an odd thought last night as I was running some errands: What if I were to tune my 5-string violin so that it went A D G B E (the same as the top 5 strings on the guitar)? It was an intriguing idea, with a bunch of pros and cons ( Read more... )

I'm after some advice regarding effects pedals for electric violins... Basically, I'm looking for something pretty basic, little more than an EQ pedal really, but if it did simple effects like reverb and compression that would be a bonus. Are there specific pedals made for violins, or do I need to buy a guitar pedal? And does anybody have any ( Read more... )

Hi people, is there someone here from Toronto? I'm looking for a violin teacher. I've been playing the violin (sporadically) for 3 years - but it's not really a good training (for me - i think). we mostly play at church and it's a free lesson - but i want something that would help me improve my playing and reading the notes, etc ( Read more... )
