dpappas Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 I have been reading old posts about the bridge hill (2-3kHz), and how this is a desirable effect in a violin. Has anyone made recordings (or know where I can find them) of instruments with and without this response? I am just trying to learn more about it and hearing it (even via recording, which is not optimal) would be helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Darnton Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Playing a solo violin piece and messing with the EQ may help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpappas Posted August 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Michael, Thank you. I had read some of your posts on the bridge hill response here on MN, which is what got me thinking about this in the first place. Dimitri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Noon Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 If a violin sounds muffled or muted or "closed", it is likely to have weak response in the "bridge hill". But using an equalizer is the easiest way to hear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpappas Posted August 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Michael and Don, Yes, the EQ trick was perfect to illustrate it, thank you. Now i need to do some recordings of my own instrument and see how it fares in that regard. Dimitri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
