ndi po ako makadecide sa pagbili ng violin sa may vmapa, although mura nga po ung violins, parang ndi ko naman po ma-feel dun sa mga nagtitinda na alam nila ung mga tinitinda nilang violins..... i mean, kasi nga puro sila guitar shops..... well, ok naman po sa salonga/jbmusic store, kaso ndi ko pa po afford ung iba dun.....



gusto ko lng po malaman na if ever may nagbebenta ng violin po d2... at least, makakaya na pong bilin, this is just a query lng po...


parang mas may tiwala pa po kasi ako sa second-hand violin na galing sa member po ng pv.... actually i really dont have the confidence po sa pagbili ng brandnew, knowing na wala naman po akong friend na experienced sa violin.....

Hmmmm... mag antay ka lang at baka meron dito mag titinda, pero baka matatagalan ka lang nga.

IMO Magandang itabi mo muna iyang budget mo, at mag save up ka pa, sa presyo na 4k may maganda ka na makukuha na Yita violin sa Ebay... kaso mag save ka rin para sa shipping.

meron ata 2k lang sa raon. check mo dun

@ jollyclay: Hinde niya yata type ung mga 2k na violin sa Raon o Vmapa ^^;

hmmn, kung matiyaga ka naman maghanap sa raon makakahanap ka rin ng maayos dun. Pero if you don't have the time mag-ipon ka na lang muna.

mdami magandang violin sa raon. nahirap nga lang mahanap. naghanap kase ko dati. tsaka dun ako bumili ng violin ng pinsan ko. :)

sa may gilmore po? san kaya banda dun? music store din?

maganda naman ho ung cremona db? parang un po muna ung balak kong bilin.... gusto ko na rin po kasi isauli ung pinahiram saken na violin.......

Clow,

improved na ang entry level na Cremona... i say GO ... ^_^


Handa ka na... magipon ka na for Set Up... ^_^

I usually go to Raon in Quiapo on a regular basis to get strings, sheets, etc. I got my first violin there, but since it was in the 1800 price range, it was SERIOUSLY crappy, pero puwede nang pagtiyagaan kung gusto mo lang may pagpraktisan. I am not really sure about the quality of Cremona violins kasi so far ang nagagamit ko pa lang ay Parrot, Hofner, at Bachendorff.

May street kasi doon na magkakatabi lang ang mga tindahan ng music instruments at sporting goods. Kadalasan nasa 1700 (kung magaling kang makipagtawaran) to 2500 ang range ng violins doon.

Pero gaya nga ng sinabi na ng mga naunang nag-post, kung kaya mong mag-ipon ng hanggang mga 4000, may maganda ka nang instrument na mabibili.

If you would like to go to Raon and take a look around, I'd be happy to escort you =)

Tandaan Nyu Kakalaman ko lang po ito kay Mam Khea Thanks mam!
Kahit Magkamali ka sa pagbili ng Violin or Para sa iyo Crappy ang Violin
kung sa bandang huli ay mapapatugtog mo ito ng Maganda, panu na lang
ang pagtugtog mo sa Isang magandang Klaseng Violin!?
(Louie): Ehdi Charot! Panalo! Bongang bonga! Pak!
ahahah!

Sa Raon maraming Violin I am Lamost Always In there I Visit Whenever I like
During my Shopping for my Arts materials Violins There are Looking Great
But I Also Consider to Test them Before Purchasing one When you felt that that
is the Right Violin lets say He/She is the Chosen one. (May Ganun!?) ahaha(Parang
Harry Potter Lang!)ahaha! Well Kagaya nga nung Pagpili ni Harry ng Wand Niya!? Diba?

Thanks po sa replies... cge po... magpapasama n lng po ako sa friend ko kung panu pumunta dun..... hehe.... since marami naman po sa inyu na nagsusuggest na mas marami ngang stores dun sa raon, i'll go there po..... for a try.... anu-anu po ba ung mga brands ng violin na available dun???

@Clowreed I believe may Cremona din sila sa Quiapo. I have not been asking much sa mga tindahan doon since I acquired my Bachendorff. May Lyric Piano branch din kasi doon, and that is where I bought it. (If you are interested, and street na pupuntahan mo doon ay Platerias. Ito yung street kung saan matatagpuan ang Rhapsody music store (sheet music place na ubod na ng tanda. At yung kinalalagyan ng Lyric Piano ay ang dating puwesto ng Lobregat, which is also a well-known name in music sheets supplies kaso nag-belly up na yata kaya nawala na)

I suggest that you go there with someone who knows his/her way around violins para maka-sigurado ka. For the most part kasi hindi talaga alam ng mga nagtitinda doon ang mga products nila, and I learned that the hard way.

I might be going there sometime this week. I'll check the brands for you. ;)

Tandaan lang, nasa perosnal preferences ang pag kuha ng violin, nararamdaman mo iyun pag nilaro mo na ung violin, kaya wala sa brand iyan, nasa pakiramdam at tenga iyan naka base.

^Fully agree. Sana nga lang nagpapahwak ng instruments nila yung mga tindahan kasi may iba ayaw. Kung pahawakin ka man, wala pa sa tono, so hindi mo rin talaga masusubukan. =/ Iisang shop lang ang pumayag na hawakan ko ang instrument nila at pinag testingan pa ng mute.

suggestion ko go dun sa 1st violin na matipuhan mo usually yun ang best na makukuha mo kung beginner ka palng. gnun pag pili ko sa violin ko eh galing cya sa raon at tuwang tuwa pren ako sa knya hngang ngayun

actually ang pinakanagustuhan ko po is ung Hofner sa Salonga Music Store.... kaso po ang mahal..... ndi ko po talaga afford...... nung pumunta naman po ako sa vmapa, may nagustuhan din po ako, ung Guisseppi ung brand...... well, second choice ko po iyon....... then naghanap po ako sa sulit.com.ph, may nakita akong Mozart na maganda, second-hand, kaso lng kasi mas gusto ko bumili talaga sa store para makapili......


gusto ko kasi talaga ng store maraming mapagpipilian...... sa mga music stores kasi tig-iisang brand lng tapos 2-3 units lng meron sila, maximum of 5 na ata nakita ko......

@clowreed11 Baka tomorrow magpunta ako. Either that or Wednesday. You're bound to hear from me then. =)

dati may hoffner dun sa salonga kung saan ko binili c "lizzy" violin ko baka yun pren yun pero nagus2han ko rin yung hoffner na yun pero mas gus2 ko yun c lizzy. c lizzy pala eh cremona violin ok nmn tunog nya :) hindi nmn cya ngongo yun lng medyo mababa na yung fingerboard xD 2.8k ko ata cya binili or 3.8k di ko na maalala haha xD mag ipon ka nlng mga 5k makakakuha kana ng mgnda nun

May Hofner pa rin sila sa Salonga ng Quiapo hanggang ngayon. Kasi doon ko na encounter yung tig 18 thousand na Hofner. Sale price nila yun kasi 21 thou siya originally. Yun sana ang bibilhin ko, but then I met Anna Maria in another shop =) Five digits din siya pero mas less kaysa doon sa Hofner.

Clow Reed,

I have a Bachendorff that was given to me this Christmas. It is brand new, and unused. I already have a violin, I don't need this second one. Please, if you do not mind...How serious are you with the violin? I do not mind blessing someone else as I have been with this hobby. I can give it to you, since it does not seem right to sell a gift.

On condition, I would like to hear you play first, even the simplest of tunes. We can see from there. Apologies. I would like to simply be assured that I am sharing the blessings deservedly.

^wow hulog ng langit :) ayan CLOW nataasan mo pa violin ko haha

@takahashi-chan: papanu pag beginner as in wala pang knowledge??

@marc398: Sorry. My tagalog, so very not good. What was the question?

takahashi-chan: what if he is only a beginner and doesn't know much about playing the violin?

@Takahashi-chan If I had been propositioned with that when I was still desperate for my own instrument, I will be beside myself in joy. I am seriously stunned.

-looks on intrigued-

^ me too haha xD

Serious po ako matuto, kasi po naging passion ko na talaga ung music, and i really want to continue it through violin..... meron po akong alam na mga pyesa na tugtugin... pero po alam ko marami pang flaws, but i'm still and always in the path of learning things pa rin po since beginner p lng po....


whether I deserve the violin or not po, MARAMING MARAMING SALAMAT pa rin po!!

^Well, if you manage to earn the Bachendorff for yourself, you are the luckiest young fiddler I would know. =)

@crow: translate mo lahat sa english :). di ata cya masyado marunong mag tagalog

I'LL GIVE MY BEST SHOT!!!!!

@crow: basahin mo yung comment nya sa page 2 the last one :)

@marc398: I see. I just need to understand the passion and commitment, is all. Even if essay. Because, music, to me, not about the technical. Its about the emotion. Its about how the music from the person make you feel. Also, best if person is honorable too. With these 3 things, even if beginner, doesn't matter. I will know that the giving will be worth it.

@amrita_sama: When I was young, passion for music was not encouraged. Someone also did for me what I offer to Clow Reed. He saw my passion and commitment, and I make him proud. His kindness more than returned with the music. And I believe, honoring his kindness by doing the same thing for someone else. Maybe it is providence for Clow Reed, the timing. What am I gonna do with 2 violins, I have only 2 hands.

@Clow Reed: What you said, our house help translate. If you can play a piece, even incomplete, is fine. I want to hear your passion and commitment in the music. Beginner or Expert, this will always translate in the music. Deserving the violin is in your hands. It is yours to not have, at this point.

"There is no such thing as coincidence. Only inevitability." With the username you chose, I believe you will understand the source of this, yes?

@takashi-chan I understand your sentiment fully, as I went through it. And like you, I was also gifted with an instrument by someone who saw that the gift will be put to good use. =) It is nice that you're helping someone out on their passion. Cheers!

@clow: ayun nmn pla crow eh go for it xD better thank her :)

@amrita_sama: Hai. Domo. We wait and see now.
@marc398: When he cuts debut CD in future, Clow Reed can thank us all by name in the CD jacket, yes? Or dedicate a performance to us. I joking, but who knows? He could be next Midori from Philippines.

@All: The "house" (flatmates and friends) "helped" (with the translation) is what she meant. (Ayan, nahiya na. Nagtago sa aparador. HaHa!)

@Clow Reed: You are a fortunate fiddler indeed. I hope makuha mo! Best of luck!

@clowreed,
lucky you! Grab the opportunity!

@takahashi-san,
This is a bit of an OT, but I'm curious so I'll ask anyway

There is only one clow reed I know and that is from an anime but I don't remember him saying this quote. Are there any other clow reeds out there? :)

To all: I am spellbound, still, until this moment...

@takahashi-chan: I'm sorry for making you translate all that I've said... :p THANKS... really.... No words I can say... I'm excited and nervous at the same time...

@yuuko-san: I'll give my best po!!! :p thanks!!!

@jollyclay: thanks!!!

@marc398: i'm praying po talaga..... ung clowreed po, yeah, sa anime po galing un, I can't remember when I started using it as a username, pero, tumatak talaga sa utak ko ung name na un.... It really sounds unique for me...

@amrita_sama- *crosses fingers* ^^,
