[2023] 4 Most Popular PLAYTECH Violin Recommendations

The violin is probably one of the instruments that you would like to try but are not able to afford. For those of you who are not sure what to prepare or whether you can do it on your own, Sound House's original brand of violin, Playtech, is here to help you!

■ Violins are available in different sizes!

Choose the right size violin depending on your age and build. Adults use a 4/4 (full size) violin.

■ Acoustic or Electric

Acoustic is an ordinary so-called violin.

ENA / ENA No.20 Violin

Electric has a pickup and produces sound through earphones or an amplifier. The live sound is less loud than a normal instrument and is about the volume of a muffled mute.

Yamaha / SV250

■ Famous Violin Pieces

Here are some famous violin pieces that everyone has heard at least once.
Let's start with the classics.

Mendelssohn Concerto for Violin and String Orchestra in D minor

A classic among classical music. It is sometimes called “Menkon” for short in Japanese.

Then, this indispensable song.

Taro Hakase “JOUNETSU - TAIRIKU”

In addition to the arco technique (played with a bow), the violin is also played with a pizzicato technique, in which the strings are plucked. A famous example of the pizzicato technique is this.

Johann and Joseph Strauss ”Pizzicato-Polka”

It's a long jump in time, but it's cool too!

King Gnu “Prayer X”

The strings at the beginning are too cool. Genius.
