When a maker makes a violin, the scroll is just a block. They make it into a scroll because it looks cool, but others have made king's heads and lion's heads.

How do you tighten a violin sring that bounces back when you try to?

I usually use my sticky paste to make my scroll be stickier and thus not unscroll so easily, but I'm guessing you don't have a violin paste. If you don't own a paste, use your finger to get a little bit of rosin from your bow (don't get it from the middle but instead from the very bottom or very top since oil on your skin is not very good for the bow) and rub it on the parts of the scroll that touches the violin.


I am 5'3 girl and I need to buy a new Violin what size would be good for me?

you find your size by holding the violin (like with the chin + shoulder rest) and reaching as far as possible toward the scroll of it, if the scroll fits at your wrist, it's your size and it doesn't reach your wrist, it's too small, if it reaches passed your wrist, it's too big.
