hey guys today I'm gonna be telling you about my favorite instrument and it's my instrument of choice you know the fiddle the kid the four string symbol of an orchestra the violin this is the history and origin of the violin you can play something slowly you can play it quickly the violin is believed to have been dragged from instruments such as severely a three to five string leaf shaped wooden box similar to the shape of the ball and however not including as deep of a waist there was also the rebec which has a narrower body
in the shape of a raindrop and the Byzantine lere lera why there are these forms of the violin came from 16th century Italy our earliest records of Allah has come from the paintings of downton Enzo Ferrari a renaissance period Italian painter and sculptor this design differed slightly from the form of åland we know today which wouldn't be so until the 17th century by the ahmadi families design before the Baroque period which was the Renaissance period violinists were generally playing in what was called a consular or an English instrumental ensemble however entering into the Baroque period
the composer giovanni paolo Aseema wrote the first violin sonatas beginning the trend of using the violin as a solo instrument balance and this time could be described as having a shallower body angle in shorter necks the buzzards also did been differently and shorter than modern those going into the classical and romantic periods violins began to be made with longer finger boards allowing for higher notes to be played the angle of the fingerboard was also adjusted for higher volumes and larger orchestras also a fun fact is the chin rest and shoulder rest weren't invented until the
early 19th century maybe that's why there's so many sad and emotional growth in classical songs what a great day today I think I haven't got a pin my ball in the wait there's nothing to support my shoulder at all oh my god that's so much I think I gotta write a song about this [Music] hi my name is Wesley and every day thousands of elementary school kids blow about their days playing the violin without a shoulder rest secure a loved one knows a child who is just starting to play the violin please let them know
immediately that it is a lot less painful to play for the rest thank you since the Classical period most of the bottom design has remained very consistent even up until today most of the differences are found in materials used for example higher quality wood for the violin and bow and different materials for the strings one unique form of the violin is the electric violin this was invented in the 1930s and is used mainly to amplify the sound of the violin for different genres of music such as jazz or metal [Music] man is like creating violin
ASMR many electric violin performers have custom-made designs which can be seen as sacrilegious tangos against the entire design principles of regular wooden violins possibly leading to new types of instruments altogether in the future so what does the future of violin design look like well looks like the general design of the violin is going to maintain fairly the same classical look as it has over the years this is mainly due to the fact that it's been perfected over the course of hundreds of years most differences are going to be in materials used and possibly other kinds
of auxiliary tools for the instrument itself some musical artists may continue to have their own unique designs for of their own however the majority of violins will always maintain the classical looking function that we have all grown so attuned to alright guys that's it for this video if you would like to see more educational videos on other topics please let me know in the comments below and I realized that only about 11% of my viewers are subscribed so alright see you guys next time [Music]
