1Preparatory Exercises In Double-stopping.
2Bowing On Two Open Strings.
4Before attempting the study of double-stopping, it is advisable to practise bowing on two open strings. Such preparatory exercise helps the pupil, at the same time, to gradually learn how to tune his instrument. Not only does it require a correct ear to tune a violin well, but it also necessitates much practice.
6The pegs have a tendency either to stick fast, or to slip away quite suddenly. It will therefore be found necessary, first to rub them with soap, then, with chalk; after which, they should be turned back and forth in the peg-holes until they are in good working order.
8In winding the string on the peg, care must be taken that it does not come in contact with the side of the peg-box and thus hinder its action.
10The violin is tuned by sounding the strings with such energy, elasticity and equality of pressure as to obtain their utmost vibration. A violin tuned thus energetically will remain in tune longer than one which has been tuned in a timid manner.
