I was clearly in a rush for this video; I apologize! I was quite literally getting ready to fly with my instrument, and at the last minute decided to quickly film this video. Please let me know what travel tips you all have, and I hope you enjoyed the video :)!

Loosening strings like this actually messes up the sound post and can make it fall... checked with my luthier and he agrees... somehow it became a word of mouth and many folks started doing it. but I'd rather have a string break and carry extras than being unable to fix a sound post

@SophieCViolin Год назад

Thank you for letting me know! Will keep that in mind for the future. Pinning this so everyone can consider this!

awesome video! really good timing because im flying with my violin rlly soon. how do you take the humidifier out of the f hole?

@SophieCViolin 2 года назад

thank you so much!! the Dampit does not fully go inside the F hole, so you can just take it back out by pulling on the little end that sticks out :) not sure if that made sense but you'll see if you get one!

Great video! Thanks for the information. I am flying from Minnesota to Chicago in November with my violin for the first time and have some questions: Do all airlines accept violins as a carry-on? Have you encountered a problem with going through security with your violin? Also, have you encountered an airplane that the violin didn't fit in the overhead bin? Finally, have you been on an airplane that had all of the over head bins full and were forced to check your violin? Thank you so much!!

@SophieCViolin 11 месяцев назад

Hi! In my experience, they have usually accepted violins as carry-on. I have never been given trouble for it domestically at least. Security is usually okay, only one strange time did they question my rosin haha (I think because it is flammable?). No, I have never encountered a plane that the violin didn't fit in the overhead bin. Sometimes they might even fit it in their personal closet space if the overhead space runs out, and the staff is nice. No, I have never been on a plane that forced me to check my violin. I've been pressured to do so several times, but I held my ground as this is something non-negotiable. Violins are extremely fragile, and I insist that it can not be checked in. They will usually figure something out. I hope this helps! Let me know if I can help in any other way.

Loved the video! General question: How much do you practice a day at school and is it true that students at conservatories/music schools know fellow musicians from other music schools? For example, i'm attending Thornton this fall and was wondering if you knew anyone from there purely from just connections or networks. Thank you

@SophieCViolin 2 года назад

thank you!! I usually practice around 3 hours a day with school, but I think it varies from 2-6. And yes, the music community is very small so I'd say it's pretty true that many people know fellow musicians from other music schools haha. I personally don't know anyone at Thornton, but congratulations!! very excited for you! :)

@user-rh3fi3sg4s Год назад

I learned something. Thank you for sharing. I was just wondering in the last part @7:27, when you said something like "we don't have to buy separate ticket." Do you put it in check in baggage or as a handcarry item?

@SophieCViolin Год назад

I’m glad you found this video helpful! I take the violin as a hand carry item. It’s pretty fragile and I wouldn’t feel very assured giving it to someone else, let alone thrown with other luggages!

@antoinehernandez2816 5 месяцев назад

Hey ! Super video ! I'm beginning with violin today and I'm asking myself : is there any situation in which you need to quit the bridge off the violin in the life of the violin or do you just let it there while traveling or washing or anything else ? Thank you !!

@SophieCViolin 5 месяцев назад

Hi! I believe you keep the bridge on at all times. I've never messed with my bridge haha.. I only let luthiers and professionals do that. I hope this helps! :)

@Lunar_Vibes 2 года назад

Are you allowed to take the violin with you in the cabin?

@SophieCViolin 2 года назад

yes, definitely! would NOT recommend checking it in as luggage at all. you don't know how your instrument would be treated and it's very fragile, so best to have it with you at all times!

@brennanvaldovinos3124 2 года назад

Did you get a new violin?

@SophieCViolin 2 года назад

hello! omg you noticed hahaha. this is actually an older violin of mine-- didn't feel comfortable taking my usual one through so much traveling since I wouldn't be staying in one place!

@thatonespaniard6509 Год назад

Hello, What's the name of that violin case??? so that others can buy it. Also Can you take it on the plane as a hand luggage? Thank you Have a nice day!

@SophieCViolin Год назад

The violin case name is Tonareli! and yes, you can take the violin on the plane as a hand luggage :)

WILL DO!!

@violinladderman3673 Год назад

What do you think about hiking in high elevation like 10 000 and above with a violin backpack same principles apply or? and would do you think it's ok to play at that elevation and higher or just a completely stupid idea and my strings would break and so on and so on. The highest elevation i played at was around 6000 ft so far no issues.

@SophieCViolin Год назад

Oh man, I apologize for I have no idea! I’ve never thought about that, though I think it would be really cool. My best suggestion for that would be to have a cheaper violin to play just in case, if you’re worried about it breaking or something like that. You’ll have to let me know if you figure that out!

@violinladderman3673 Год назад

@@SophieCViolin Thanks for reply maybe i will just go up elevation little by little and see how it does. I know humidity has to be i think 40 to 60 and higher elevation you go the lower humidity i think that's right.
