What is the violin tail?
The violin tail is a structure that serves as an anchor mechanism for the end of violin chains that are not associated with tuning pins. The tail sits at the bottom of the front of the violin under the bridge and is attached to the endblock or the bottom of the violin by a cord known as Tailgut. Violin players pay close attention to the tail of their violin because they affect not only the aesthetics of the tool, but also the overall sound and sensitivity.
violin creators construct violin tails from different types of wood. Ebony, Rosewood or Boxwood use the most used types of wooden violin manufacturers. Traditionally, the tail is made of the same wood as from a fingerboard and pins. This helps the violin to look balanced and has a certain impact on the physical balance of the tool because of the fact that each type of wood has a specific density. Typical wooden tail weighs about 0.5 ounces (15 grams), altohough synthetic tails can weigh less than half than this amount.
In one of the three main styles, a violin may appear. The first is the type of English orHills that has a shape similar to a roof. The second is a Frenchman who is rounded. The style of tulips is more like a wine glass.
If desired, the violin creator can add decorating to the violin tail. For example, it can add complex, carved details to the wood in the tail. These are purely adding the beauty of the tool. Decorative should never disturb the overall structural integrity or tail function, nor should they drastically affect the overall weight or balance of the structure.
The playable violin is the tension between the violin and the tuning pins. A well -designed violin tail must withstand this tension, regardless of whether the tail is. That is why manufacturers use harder, denser forests such as ebony for this part of the violin.
Due to the differences in the wood used and fine modifications in the design, each violin has its own characteristic weight and tone color. IdeallyIdeally, the violin to be compared with the characteristics of the violin to which they join. If the violin manufacturer does it correctly, the violin will have more warmth and sensitivity. Also, there should be little if any, Wolf Notes that are made, when the playing note corresponds to the resonating frequency of the tool.
When the manufacturer creates Tailflean, they pay attention to the length of the rear part, the position of the string and the holes for the Tailgut and how the arches of the tail. All these factors, such as the density of wood on the tail, affect how the end end works and how the violin sounds and reacts. A good tail should roughly match the curve of the bridge and the strings should not narrow in. Violins, which have a shorter distance between the bridge and the end of the violin, need a smaller end piece, while on the contrary applies to the violin that have a long distance between the bridge and the end of the violin.
Theoretically, there is an ideal distance for afterlenk, the amount of chain between the ending and the bridge. This is 1/6 of the chain playing length. OnTuning along the length should be two octaves and fifth above the open note of the playing length. For example, it should be afterliengh of string G D.
Some creators of the violin include fine violin tuners. Fine tuners are usually placed only on string E for the added matter they have. These fine tuners allow players to make a string spacing that would be difficult to achieve through a larger tuning pin.
