About My Musical Instrument

   I think there isn't anybody who never seen the violin. However, I wanted to introduce you to my eight-year friend.
Violin first made in the early 16th Century in Italy by Andrea Amati. So it's newer than other instruments like piano.
We can examine this picture to learn the structure of violin.
                                                         
     It made by wood. Just "Fine Tuners" may steel but it shouldn't use for better sound. There are four strings that connect to tailpiece and tuning pegs. When we look at the violin, F holes take attention. They are for good acoustic. I think this is the most important characteristic of the family of "Strings".  
    "Bridge" is for sound transmission from strings to body. Bridge's quality is very important for sound quality. Also there is one more thing that provides sound transmission: "Soundpost". It is between the top plate and back plate of violin. That's why you can't see it from the outside. I don't think it is need to explain the chinrest and fingerboard.


Fiddlers use a tool called "Shoulder rest". Required for comfort and playing true.


       Bow doesn't have many different features. The screw where bottom of the bow, helps to change the tension of the hair. Nowadays hairs are making by artificial horse hair. Made of genuine horse hair is very expensive. Also rosin is required for bow to making sound. 
       If you ask about my violin, I don't have any information about its brand or luthier. I just know my violin sounds great ! There are many different violin for every budget. From $60 to $18.000.000...
If you buy a violin, should buy that you love. Brand or price isn't important.

My Favourite Music Band: MODEL

Resim
    You definitely heard one of these band's songs. In them, everyone finds something about their own. I think this entry was too emotional but it must be. They don't have many cheerful songs, just a few.  I love their songs because lyric and melody fully harmonious.     The band was found in 2005 by four people who were university friends. In 2007, it was named MODEL with the addition of vocalist Fatma Turgut. All the songs was composed by Can Temiz who was band's  bassist. In final form, the drummer was Kerem Sedef and the guitarist was Okan Işık.         Th eir music albums are : "Perili Sirk" (2009), "Diğer Masallar" (2011), "Levla'nın Hikayesi" (2013). Although they didn't have a lot of albums, they composed impressive songs and people loved them. Also they played single songs with famous musicians like Emre Aydın, Ozan Doğulu. MODEL's first hit song was "Pembe Mezarlık". We can say that they became ...

The Most Dangerous Musical Instrument | Singing Tesla Coil

Resim
    In my previous blog, I wrote about a fantastic musical instrument. It didn't need touching to play. Here is more fantastic instrument: Singing Tesla Coil (or Zeusaphone). Zeusaphone doesn't need an instrumentalist. But, of course it's need to a programmer and usually work with electrical signals that computer's send. People sometimes play it live.    As you know, tesla coils work with blue spark. This instrument modulates the spark sounds (signals that send from computer or people provide it) and creates interesting sounds. If there are two zeusaphones, it's possible to playing chords like guitar. When it make sounds, it also do light show. I think it's the most impressive side. Although it looks like crazy, may be dangerous to stay around directly where it is working. Because if the spark come to you, you may die. The people who play it live are wearing special outfits.     You will remind when you heard its sound. Let's listen a famous me...
