Hi Sue, yes, that jaw plate is smaller than the average chin rest, for sure!

Aww, that is absolutely the kindest and most genuine comment someone could write. 🙏 😊 Thank you SO much! 🥰 🎻

Glad you enjoyed it! 🎻

Oh, right to left? Now that does sound confusing! 😅 Thanks for watching!

Continued from user do, all this to say my student violin has a wooden chin rest but now seems too high and like a Boulder in my neck. It's very uncomfortable. I may hack it down with a small plane or use a Drexel tool to re cup the rest. I have stuck felt disks along the edge and covered with ace bandage type of athletic elastic but I got tired of that and felt that there was no freedom of my head to move. Like I was locked in. I didn't like that feeling. So I removed both violins chin rests and played bare back for a while. But then I decide I want the support to do vibrato and hold instrument with my chin, so now I back to using chim rest. I like the idea of using your cradel chinrest but feel it is too high.. I think I will plane off some material from my wooden chin rest on my student instrument. I have an everest shoulder rest with I've stuck o balled up sock at one end; seems pretty good. The shoulder rest I want is the Libero, but it comes in three heights and I'm not sure which height to order! Pluss it's too expensive if I can't find correct height. Did you know Dr. Kwou! That you can stick felt disks around edge and wrap your chin rest with athletic bandage to achieve a pretty comfortable chin rest at a fraction the cost of a custom chinrest? I used this method for a short couple of weeks and I could hold my instrument with my head and no left hand. I may go back to this myself. In all honesty I feel that the cradle too high and put me way over the finger board almost like Indian fiddler. I like fingerboard to be at eye level so I can watch my fingers. I'm glad for you you seem to have pretty good fit for your particular anatomy. All my needs are to get my chin off the top plate, hold the instrument so I don't use lft thumb and at least have some movement to look around without feeling locked in. I know that's a tall order but that's what I need. Youve been very helpful Dr.Kwo thank you! Most greatful! C.e.on west coast usa.😅

@@user-do5hd7zb4xBest of luck, Chris! It sounds like you have considerable experience going through a lot of gear!

Thanks for watching!

I’m so glad, Erynn! Thanks for letting me know which exercise you found the most helpful! Happy Long Weekend! 🎆

Thanks, John! My audio engineer had to do a lot of work on the recording due to the wind. He literally had to use “anti-wind” filter or something like that and explained that that’s what you’re hearing in terms of the weird noises you hear. 🙂

Thanks for watching my video! Hmm, what is Tonic? A metronome app? I use Tunable as well and in this app, I’m using Tonal Energy.

@@violynnkuo actually just downloaded Tonal energy. Maybe they should sponsor you ;) Tonic is a training motivator, but also has a live studio feature. I just lost my streak, as I've been traveling, but up until June 12th I had a 70 day streak, with a daily average of 45 minutes of practice per day. It's been helpful to me for building & maintaining momentum. As a teacher, you could join your student's studios; they can be private studios, from which the student can invite a teacher or peer to just hangout, or provide feedback. They can also be public, which is a fun way for people to meet musicians all over the world

@@Ogg13tube That sounds very motivating! For my VIP Students, I actually host weekly practice sessions (which I call Lynnja Sessions) and I guide them through a focussing/breathing/visualization exercise at the beginning and we work on our own repertoire while I run a practice timer. It's a great way to level up and have accountability with like-minded violinists around the world!

You're very welcome, Kerry! Yes, technology moves so fast, it's hard to keep up!

Thanks for watching and for your comment!

@@violynnkuo Thanks for your own attentiveness. I enjoy the viols, as an outsider to them (it was always something else for me to pursue)- but the fact that the violin can stretch its voice beyond what we hear a la Quattro Stagioni's flurries or soli above an orchestra was a pet target of mine after mixing some for a Mr. Maksin's cello. I liken to the chalumeau of the clarinet, or the lower stops of harpsichord with leather, not plastic, plectra. There's a richness to be had from it. Usually, for me, the violins are up there with the other voices in chamber, but rarely, they have taken on their own pedestal. I asked Ahram Kim what strings she used, I knew not Super Sensitives- but she didn't say. I was too preoccupied during Ertan's appearance. They both get that mystic sound of breath. Think a tiny cello. That wide envelope. I used to think it stopped at the viola, but they got it. If anyone can appreciate that facet, you can. (And, monetized or not, the fact of your sharing your dedication with the World is remarkable. It is a gift to music in itself.)

I'm so glad you find it helpful, Lisa! Good luck and be careful not to strain the fourth finger (like I did!)

You are so welcome, Jean!

I’ll glad you found it helpful, Jean!

Thank you for watching! Did you mean the music played in the introduction? That was from Saint-Saëns Introduction and Rondo-Capriccioso. 🙂

@@violynnkuo yes thank you:)

I apologize I guess I missed when you said paganini caprice 24 almost at the end. You sound really great 5:48 that passage resembles like a double stop kinda scale

@@TnSn5 Ah yes, that’s right! One of the Paganini Caprice 24 variations. 👍🙂

Hi Wade, I’m happy you found it helpful!

You’re very welcome, Emmet!

Glad you agree, Frederic! Thanks so much for sharing that link!

@@violynnkuo I would also add that I have never met an instrumentalist (certainly not pianists) who was aware of how solid the Abs [ rectus abdominis muscles ] must be to support the upper body. We all neglect to strengthen those muscles. [ rectus abdominis - slung between the ribs and the pubic bone at the front of the pelvis. When contracting, this muscle has the characteristic bumps or bulges that are commonly called 'the six pack'. The main function of the rectus abdominis is to move the body between the ribcage and the pelvis.]. I guess I must now go to exercise :) (By the way, if we misspell 'pianist' to 'painist', there is the word 'pain' that appears !)

@@fredericlinden I would say that more important than the rectus abdominus are the deeper core muscles that are used to support posture and stability. These muscles are targeted in Pilates training, for example, and can help alleviate the more surface muscles from doing the job of BOTH supporting the body/posture AND trying to execute playing movements.

@@violynnkuo Well said !

@@fredericlinden Thank you, Frederic! Cheers!

You're very welcome, Connie! I’m so glad you found it clear and helpful!

Hey Noa, keep at it. I’m sure you’ll improve! 😊

Thanks so much, Fred!

Ha, thanks Bess!! <3

Hey Daniel, equipment does help! Good luck! 🎻

I saw Cirque du Soleil‘s latest show “Echo”… now THAT was pushing the envelope!! 🤩 🤩 🎪

​@@violynnkuo Alpine ski racers train on balance boards to help agility and balance also! This has to be good for your knee rehab and generally being all around awesome!👌

@@Soundgear4 Yes, a friend left the balance board behind and used it to train balance for skating as well as rehab her injured knee!

Thanks so much for watching!

Many thanks! Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦!

This one is Tonal Energy App, primarily a tuner app but also has a powerful metronome app, which can also randomly silence beats, record audio clips, and give you visual feedback and graphs on your intonation accuracy (based on whatever tuning system you’d like to tune to.)

Thank you, thank you 🙏! 🎻 ❤ Have a great weekend, Elliot!
