I have a developed a wolf in my violin. It's at B (A1) and it's gotten really loud and screechy. I originally thought it was me, but it's not. Something is howling in the dark and blinking its green eyes at me from the shadows.

Currently, the violin has Tomastik dominants on it based on the string wrapping colors (perfect match on the chart). Would changing the A string to something else help tame the wolf without resorting to a "wolf tamer" behind the bridge? If so, what?

@RDP -

Sorry, I didn't hear a wolf tone in your video, because I saw you bowed that note very differently than your other notes (not smoothly) and you did show bouncing.

Thomastik is suggesting to use a higher tension string, in place of the wolf tone string.

difficult if not impossible to tame. They call it a wolf for a reason, but there are variations of wolf tones that are tame and light that can be hard to put a finger on. Most of us know why an instrument has as wolf tone but not how to solve it.<br /> We've received expensive instruments with major wolf tones present and we try everything to tame them. Sometimes we can change the sound post or bridge to a thicker one and that could solve the problem. Sometimes it doesn't help much and we look at options like adding weight in different areas of the instrument. We've gone as far as changing the bass bar in an instrument that had a short hump on the bass bar to solve the issue.<br /> In any case, sometimes it's best to accept that you have a wolf and learn to tame it when you play. We sell wolf tone eliminators for all instruments but they will usually not eliminate the wolf completely. Changing strings can work, but it's rare.</p> </div></div><div style='clear: both;height:1px'></div><div class='spPluginSection spCenter' style='width: auto;min-height: auto'><div id='ShareThisTopicIndex121581' class='ShareThisTopicIndex spLeft'><span class='st_facebook_large' st_url='https%3A%2F%2Ffiddlerman.com%2Fforum%2Fthe-violin%2Ftaming-of-the-wolf-instead-of-shrew%2F%23p121581' st_title='Taming of the ... wolf (instead of shrew)' st_summary='Wolfes can be EXTREMELY difficult if not impossible to tame.

They call it a wolf for a reason, but there are variations of wolf tones that are tame and light that can be hard to put a finger on. Most of us know why an instrument has as wolf tone but not how to solve it.We've received expensive instruments with major wolf tones present and we try everything to tame them. Sometimes we can change the sound post or bridge to a thicker one and that could solve the problem. Sometimes it doesn't help much and we look at options like adding weight in different areas of the instrument. We've gone as far as changing the bass bar in an instrument that had a short hump on the bass bar to solve the issue.In any case, sometimes it's best to accept that you have a wolf and learn to tame it when you play. We sell wolf tone eliminators for all instruments but they will usually not eliminate the wolf completely. Changing strings can work, but it's rare.rn rn</p></blockquote> <p> </p> <p>Thank you for the information.rn rnI've got a new set of Larsen strings coming. Hopefully they'll help me ward off the worst effects. Beyond that I'll probably have to learn to live with it and figure out how to play around it.

good instruments can have foibles. Nicola Benedetti's Strad has two wolf tones: she just has to play around them.</p> <p>Yesterday I discovered the opposite of a foible - I found for the first time that F# on my D string now has a nice internal resonance that I never noticed before. Unusual because it can't be the sympathetic resonance of another string. But I'd better experiment, as, if it's a cavity resonance, it might not be in tune, and exploiting it might lead me into bad habits.</p> <p>Where are those ".rn rn"s coming from?</p> <p> </p></blockquote> <p>I had a friend who has a degree in music listen while I played because I thought it was me at first and I was hoping for tips on how to not do that because it's exactly like fingernails on a chalkboard to my ears. He's a guitar guy and doesn't play the violin but he's still very knowledgeable about stringed instruments.</p> <p>What we discovered was that if I hold A1(B) and bow, sometimes the intonation would fade out and disappear and what sounds like a feedback loop on an amplifier would come out of the violin. Not all the time, just sometimes. When it did happen, I could, without moving my finger on A1, stop the bow, leaving it on the strings, then start bowing again and the feedback would be gone. It wouldn't stay gone, but it would disappear for a bit then come back.</p> <p>My friend got to the point he could create the feedback squeal (what I called a howl originally) almost at will. Strangely enough, the tuner we were using would indicate a true note on the screen prior to the intonation disappearing and the feedback squeal appearing. Once the squeal started, the tuner couldn't find a note in whatever sound was being produced because whatever the sound is, it's not a "note." Which also means that while I'm a n00b, it's not "me" that's causing it.</p> <p>This isn't to say that I'm perfect in my playing because I'm not. I am sometimes off key and I have the usual scratches, squeaks, and squawks of a beginner. However, when someone else can create the exact same loss of intonation accompanied by the resulting sound of a feedback squeal almost whenever he wants, and that it shows up even if the tuner is displaying a true note being played right before it shows up, I'd tend to think it's the instrument, not the player.</p> <p>In the end I could be wrong, because I'm a n00b, but that's the way I feel about it. In any event, I do understand that I'll never get rid of it and that I'll have to learn to play around it. Which in itself is fine but I'm still going to change strings to see if I can minimize it as much as possible.</p> <p> </p> <p>I think the "rn rn's" are "hard returns" that the software somehow didn't catch as code and is displaying it as text. But, I could be wrong in that too.</p> </div></div><div style='clear: both;height:1px'></div><div class='spPluginSection spCenter' style='width: auto;min-height: auto'><div id='ShareThisTopicIndex121645' class='ShareThisTopicIndex spLeft'><span class='st_facebook_large' st_url='https%3A%2F%2Ffiddlerman.com%2Fforum%2Fthe-violin%2Ftaming-of-the-wolf-instead-of-shrew%2F%23p121645' st_title='Taming of the ... wolf (instead of shrew)' st_summary='Gordon Shumway said Learning to play around any instrument's foibles is a part of learning to play.
