ToneRite ToneRite A key to great tone is constantly playing in your instrument. The Tonerite is the worlds most advanced and premier play-in device, significantly accelerating the play-in process and providing increased tone, playability and balance. The secret behind the Tonerite is its ability to continually produce and efficiently transfer vibrational energy into the instrument whist its not being played. The Tonerite makes all this possible in a nearly silent, high quality and portable manor. The Tonerite is available for all bowed string instruments and is now in 220V so no longer needs a power converter. Bow and bowing accessories

It’s important that your music is held securely and won’t move around during use. You’ll need a stand that doesn’t wobble around and can support whatever you’re reading from, be it single sheets, heavy fake books or even an iPad, without sagging or toppling under the weight. There are standalone shelves, like this Manhasset second shelf, and trays you can buy and clip on but its basically guesswork if you want it to match the width of your stand (and they’re plastic, but inexpensive enough that you won’t care if it breaks eventually). Top Nuts and Saddles Top Nuts and Saddles Violin, viola, cello and Bass Top nuts and saddles. Available in ebony or best ebony recommended for repairers and makers.Ensemble Sheet Music What is listed here is obviously a very small selection of the string ensemble music that is available.

Shoulder rests Violin and Viola Shoulder rests are very personal and what suits one player may not suit another. Many young students start off with the Huber pad or Jegro shoulder pad before moving on to a shoulder rest. Most teachers would then have a preferred option – Kun and Wolf are the long standing favourites but there are now many very good and comfortable alternatives. If you’re undecided and in the area you’re most welcome to spend some time in the shop trying them to find one that suits you.

As you read through this then you know what I think is good and bad about music stands. There’s not been a lot of changes to the market over time because a handful of companies have done it right.That means two things: it’s made of metal (you can use magnets to hold your sheets down) and it has enough weight in the base to have a low center of gravity. Piano stools Piano stools Piano stools which are adjustable allowing pianists of all ages to sit comfortably. Choose the finish you require and then a fabric to match.

Make sure that the stand you’re looking at is extendable enough height-wise to cover what you want to use it for. A short stand might be fine for a cellist, for example, but not so good if you’re a tall violin virtuoso who likes to perform while standing!

Synthetic, or often referred to as Carbon fibre Viola bows (although not all are carbon fibre), are consistent and often comparable to much more expensive wooden Viola bows. It is therefore possible to produce a very reliable, balanced and consistent Viola at a very reasonable price.

It also means they are highly resistant to warping due to tension or humidity.

Electric Instrument strings These strings are constructed in such a way that they are more suitable to electric instruments than normal orchestral strings would be.
