成年後學習小提琴、中提琴或大提琴是什麼感覺？成人的小提琴學習，某種程度是‘’初學一門陌生的語言‘’以及‘’學習肢體配合‘’之間的交叉。如果你能了解並且接受這兩個條件，那麼你可以走的很遠！但這意味著你必須抵制從一開始就真正開始的尷尬，你需要準備好做比你預期更多的重複性工作。
上一期我們已經提到了關於成人小提琴學習我們容易忽略的要點，本期我們重點說說關於尋找一位合適的小提琴老師以及如何選購樂器
找老師
您可能可以從互聯網上學到很多關於如何拉小提琴的知識，但我建議您找一位老師，以便有人可以親自聽到您的演奏，並根據您的特殊需要幫助調整您的練習程序。 不可避免地，不同的學生在握持樂器等方面會出現不同的問題，而這些問題需要老師進行一些調整。
挑選樂器
重要的是要了解，作為初學者，擁有功能良好、音色優美的樂器對於您的學習至關重要。 一把壞小提琴很像一台壞電腦：它不會做你要求它做的事情。 這將需要一百萬次變通方法，導致你失去時間和注意力，最後你會感到沮喪並想把它扔出窗外。
您很可能需要幫助才能找到適合您的樂器，無論是修理您已經擁有的小提琴、租用還是購買新的。
那麼我們該如何選購一把合適的小提琴呢？
初學者買什麼價位的小提琴合適呢？關於這類問題網上有很多介紹，因為每個人需要的種類不同，所以要根據自己的需要來找到一把適合的小提琴，當然預算是最主要的考慮之一。
首先，先要了解自己的狀況，再來尋找合適自己價位的琴，就像您如果要買車子是一樣的，先要了解自己是要買哪種牌子的車，要什麼顏色的車，要多大的車(幾人座位，或馬力多強)，車內要什麼配備，預算等等。這只是舉例說明。
購買小提琴有很多方面要考慮的，以下是簡單的購買提琴需要了解要注意的問題，這只是大原則，其中的組合就需要消費者自己決定了：
①預算(幾百價位的機械琴，還是上千價位的手工琴)。
②手工琴(舊琴 – 有時通稱古琴、新琴)、機器琴(大量生產，價格會比較便宜許多)、或是二手琴(舊琴，這裡又有區分了：手工琴、機器琴)。
③琴的出產地(世界各國都有，不過現在中國琴最多，價格也不一。還有一些意大陸琴( 就是國內琴貼上意大利標籤然後價格賣的很高的琴)。
④琴的顏色(棕色、紅色、金黃色、仿古等。一次性選好，不然更換顏色需要重新油漆，造價會很高)。
⑤琴的配備(這裡有許多選擇，材料好的通常不便宜；有些有裝飾小珠子或是有雕花的配件在價格上也有所不同。一次性選好，後期更換麻煩些)。
⑥琴弦 – 的種類更是多樣化。這些只是裝配，就像化妝品或手飾品。 (琴弦後期自己可以更換好的琴弦 )
⑦琴盒 – 樣式有很多種選擇。 (琴盒的問題可以忽略，後期自己可以更換)
⑧琴弓 – 這又是另一個需要細講的項目，好的琴弓價格也不輸給好的提琴，不過通常有時候這些是會以一整套買賣的，(需視當時個人的狀況而定，後期自己可以更換)。
如果是初學者，還不太了解自己是否會繼續學琴的道路上，建議您先買便宜一點的琴（建議買一般的價位的手工琴），或許您(或有些人)會認為會破壞耳朵的音感或其分辨音質的好壞，畢竟兩者(金錢與質量)無法考慮時，也只能衡量最符合自己需要的，不是嗎？魚與熊掌不可兼得也！兩樣取其輕重。
或者等到自己覺得琴藝大進，想要更上一層樓時，此時也許可以稍微考慮買好一點的琴。如果覺得以上的考慮是多餘的，那就根據自己喜歡的來挑。也許買一把好的小提琴，會鼓勵自己，讓自己更努力的練琴也不一定哦！
如何還是拿不定主意買什麼價位的小提琴，建議還是買上千元的手工琴(工廠手工琴)比較合適，後期再換好的手工琴也不晚。
不過，提琴的好壞是見仁見智的一件事，也是很主觀的。好琴是可遇不可求，意思是說慢慢找適合您喜歡的琴，價錢也合適。
根據不同的小提琴學習者，小提琴又分為若干尺寸，如下圖所示
小提琴尺寸的選擇，主要是根據身高和臂長來判斷，下面是小提琴尺寸與身高臂長的對照表

What is it like to learn the violin, viola, or cello as an adult? Adult violin learning, to a certain extent, is a cross between ''learning a new language'' and ''learning body coordination. If you can understand and accept these two conditions, then you can go a long way! But that means you have to resist the embarrassment of actually starting from the beginning, and you need to be prepared to do more repetitive work than you expect.
In the last issue, we have mentioned the points that we tend to ignore about adult violin learning. In this issue, we will focus on finding a suitable violin teacher and how to choose an instrument.
Finding a teacher
You can probably learn a lot about how to play the violin from the Internet, But I would recommend finding a teacher so that someone can hear you play in person and help adjust your practice routine according to your particular needs. Inevitably, different students develop different issues with holding the instrument, etc. and those issues require some tweaking from a teacher.
Finding an instrument
It's important to understand that having a well-functioning, good-sounding instrument is essential to your learning, as a beginner. A bad violin is a lot like a bad computer: it will not do what you ask it to do; it will require a million workarounds that cause you to lose time and concentration, and in the end, you'll feel frustrated and want to chuck it out a window.
In all likelihood, you will need help finding an instrument that will serve you, whether it involves fixing up a violin already in your possession, renting, or buying a new one.
So how do we choose a suitable violin?
What price of the violin is suitable for beginners to buy? There are many introductions on this kind of issue on the Internet. Because everyone needs different types, you need to find a suitable violin according to your own needs. Of course, budget is one of the most important considerations.
First of all, you must first understand your own situation, and then find a piano that suits your price. Just like if you want to buy a car, you must first understand which brand of car you want to buy, what color car you want, how big a car ( How many seats, or how much horsepower), what equipment is needed in the car, budget, etc. This is just an example.
There are many aspects to consider when buying a violin. The following are simple issues that need to be understood and paid attention to when buying a violin. This is just a general principle, and the combination of which needs to be determined by consumers:
① Budget (a few hundred mechanical pianos, or thousands of handmade pianos).
②Handmade qin (old qin – sometimes known as guqin, new qin), machine qin (in mass production, the price will be much cheaper), or second-hand qin (old qin, there is a distinction here: handmade qin, machine qin).
③ The origin of the piano (there are all over the world, but now China has the most pianos, and the price is different. There are also some Italian pianos (that is, the domestic pianos are labeled with Italian labels and sold at high prices).
④The color of the piano (brown, red, golden yellow, antique, etc.. Choose it at one time, otherwise the color needs to be repainted, and the cost will be very high).
⑤The equipment of the piano (there are many choices here, and the materials are usually not cheap; some accessories with decorative beads or carvings are also different in price. It is a one-time choice, and it is more troublesome to replace later).
⑥Strings – The types are more diverse. These are just assemblies, like cosmetics or hand accessories. (The strings can be replaced by yourself in the later stage)
⑦Piano Case – There are many choices of styles. (The problem of the piano case can be ignored, and you can replace it later)
⑧Bow – This is another item that needs to be discussed in detail. The price of a good bow is not inferior to that of a good violin, but usually, these are sold as a whole set, (depending on the personal situation at that time), you can replace it later).
If you are a beginner and don't know whether you will continue to learn the piano, it is recommended that you buy a cheaper piano (recommended to buy a handmade piano at a general price), maybe you (or some people) will think that it will damage your ears The sound quality or the quality of the sound quality. After all, when the two (money and quality) cannot be considered, you can only measure the one that best meets your needs, right? You can't have both fish and bear's paw! Take the lighter of the two.
Or when you feel that your piano skills have advanced greatly and you want to take it to the next level, you may be able to consider buying a better piano at this time. If you feel that the above considerations are redundant, then choose according to your favorite. Maybe buying a good violin will encourage you, and it may not be necessary to make yourself work harder!
If you are still undecided on what price to buy, it is recommended to buy a handmade piano (factory handmade piano) that costs thousands of yuan. It is not too late to change the handmade piano later. The mechanical piano is not recommended for beginners.
However, the quality of the violin is a matter of opinion, and it is also very subjective. A good piano is hard to come by, which means that you can slowly find a piano that suits your liking and the price is right.
According to different violin learners, the violin is divided into several sizes, as shown in the figure below
The choice of violin size is mainly based on height and arm length. The following is a comparison table of violin size and height and arm length
