Violin Instruments Use Five-Degree Tuning Method

It is also a common phenomenon that the bow is easy to touch the string in the transport bow.The easy-to-touch string mentioned here mainly refers to production problems, not to the string-touching caused by problems in bow-handling skills.The main reason for the qin itself to touch the strings is that the curvature of the horse is too small, so that the three adjacent strings are: E, A, D; the string pressure points of A, D, and G are almost close to a straight line on the horse.The solution is very simple, just increase the arc of the horse a little bit.Specific practice: Use sandpaper to grind the two ends of the horse (referring to the E string and G string) slightly lower and increase the arc a little bit.But the curvature should not be too large, and it is not good to be too large. Usually, pick up the qin and look at the D string horizontally through the A string, and the A string is not in the middle of the line of sight, and there is a slight gap (about 1 mm). It is best.When playing a midrange chord or double tone, two situations often occur for children: when playing a five-degree double tone in a higher position, or a chord containing a five-degree interval, it is often pronounced imaginary and has a whistle sound.The main reason for this is due to the thin fingers of the child and the long distance between the strings.Therefore, when a child's fingers play a fifth-degree interval, they cannot

really press on the string, but instead press on the fingerboard in the space between the string and the string, resulting in the above phenomenon.② When playing a double tone or chord in a low key position, the fingers sometimes rub against the string or press the string, the result is to replace another whistle or wrong tone with a certain tone in the played double tone or chord.This is due to the small distance between the string and the string, and the thick fingers caused by the phenomenon of rubbing or pressing the string. Sometimes this happens when playing a monophonic tone.If the above two phenomena occur during performance, the distance between the strings must be adjusted at any time according to the actual needs of the child's fingers, otherwise it will not be possible to train. This problem must not be ignored.The adjustment method is very simple, just pull the four strings on the code a little wider to both sides.If the distance between the strings is wide, just put the distance between the four strings closer to each other according to the actual needs of the child's fingers. Set?According to the traditional method of tuning the strings, people are accustomed to first set the violin A string (second string) according to the standard tone A (tuning fork or tuner), and then set the E string (one string), D string (three strings) in pure five degrees, and then set the G string (four strings) in turn. However, the result of this pure five-degree tuning is in contrast to the piano (average law) tuning fork or tuner, except for the A string, the D string is slightly lower, and the G string is lower, but the E string is the opposite, it is higher.This difference is due to the fact that the fifth-degree interval in the law of average is actually slightly smaller than the pure fifth-degree.If you use this difference to train children.It will cause children to form the concept of low D and G tones and higher E tones in their hearing, which will have an adverse impact on the development of children's hearing and cooperation with the piano.Therefore, in order to avoid this, I do not completely adopt the pure five-degree tuning method, but use a compromise method to weigh the two, that is, first use the pure five-degree tuning method to set the string, and then use a tuning fork, tuner or piano proofreading to tune the string until both of them feel more comfortable listening. Practice has confirmed that this method of tuning is better for training children's hearing and pitch.
