- When attempting to vibrate for the first time or when relearning vibrato the right way, start on the E string with the 1st or 2nd finger until you feel secure.
- Apply the fingertip to the fingerboard without pressing too hard and keep your finger round and errect. Apply more pressure on the left side of your finger tips.
- Pull back with your hold hand and arm keeping your wrist straight (arm vibrato) so that the finger joints straighten out somewhat.
- Bring your hand and arm back to the original position.
- Do this repetitively until you feel that the motion is becoming natural and pick up the tempo progressively. Try to have a smooth, even, and consistent motion.
- When you have mastered the vibrato on the 1st and 2nd fingers add the 3rd and 4th but don’t switch strings until you feel comfortable with your motion.
- The lower the string the harder it becomes to vibrate because of the angle of your fingers. Keep your arm under the violin and not too much to the left. This will bring your fingers closer to the strings.

For Grandpafiddle – I did notice, quite a while ago. Then they reappeared, didn’t know they were gone again. I think reviews help.Mouse
It was weird. I don’t know why I thought about that, but in the backroom, I got to thinking when I was looking around. Then thought about it some more, and tested it out. Voila!Mouse
Yep. The topic title was the same as the forum room name. You cannot give a new topic title the same name as the forum room. I tried it elsewhere and the same thing happened.Mouse
Oooh. I had an idea as to why GP-Fiddler’s post did not work. I tetsed my theory. If it happens again, I will know why. 😁Mouse
For Grandpafiddle – I had to delete it. There was a symbol beside the bubble that looked like maybe you logged out before it posted all the way, maybe. So, it maybe got caught in lala land. I could be wrong.Grandpafiddle
Hi Mouse. Maybe I did something wrong when I posted it? Maybe you can fix? If not, delete. Not really important. G’paRecent Forum Posts
