What is vibrato?

Vibrato will give the sound more warmth and expressiveness, sting players make liberal use of vibrato. The word litteraly means "vibrating" or "quivering" and it implies performinga note with a slight rapid and regular varations of pitch. In string players it is produced by rocking the finger of the left hand which is stopping the string - thus it cannot be applied to a note produced by an open string, nor to very short notes.

What vibrates to produce the sound on a baritone?

When someone wants to perform vibrato, there actually isn't any vibrating going on! (well except for the string, but the string always vibrates when playing the violin) When vibrato is performed correctly, the person actually wiggles his finger which varies the pitch to create a vibrating sound.


How do you learn vibrato easily on the violin?

You should move your wrist back and forth on the finger board as much as possible. You may move your arm and/or your wrist, because there are two types of vibrato: arm vibrato and wrist vibrato. You should test each one to see which one is right for you. I personally think that arm vibrato is easier, and it produces a better vibrato. Also, relax your arm and wrist because if you are gripping the neck of the violin it will make vibrato difficult. A wrist vibrato is the correct way when the arm does not move. To master the real art of vibrato, one must be able to not move the arm but the wrist only to do one unless at high positions.


What happens to the string when the player puts its finger on it?

What is the physics of a harp?

The harp player plucks a string and it vibrates at a certain frequency, depending on the length of the string. The shorter the string, the higher the pitch. The volume can be determined on how hard the string is plucked. The harp is made of wood because wood resonates well. A pedal can be attached in order to make each string higher by shortening it by a certain amount.
