Although people are not built in the same way good posture is very important. The most dynamic phase of how to hold a violin is having a well-built body. First one should look for a chin and a shoulder pad that is good for their posture. Properly place the kit on the shoulder avoiding firm hold by balancing it well.

Wrong method of holding the apparatus can cause tension and it is not easy to change even after long term practice. Support the kit with the shoulder and left arm while resting it on the collarbone. A violin is stabilized by mild weight from the head. The chin length of a player adjusts according to their length.

Between its rear and shoulder of a player there is a space where a pad is fixed. It protects the violin from sliding by providing friction. While a collarbone is intermittent, support moves from jaw left shoulder and hand.

If held correctly and chin rest, shoulder rest and pad fitted with caution, the equipment can be held easily and comfortable. The chins purpose is protecting and providing a comfortable place for the jaw and to adjust length between jaw and collarbone. A non slippery cloth maybe used to cover collarbone. Two stable points are established when it rests lightly on the collar bone and jaw.

Left hand offers support to the. The left hand first finger has an outcrop thus the neck of the violin rests there. After the main finger, the thumb ought to contact it. It is prevented from sliding by the thumb as the main finger offers support for the neck. The set establishes four links with the collarbone jaw thumb and index finger.

Spending some quality time holding it is very important. It is advisable while moving around to be attentive to posture and balance. To reduce tension weight of the head should be applied momentarily. Gravity force pulls it down but is opposed by the finger and collarbone assisted by the thumb.

With calm shoulders and rear muscles, help sustain the extended left arm with a stable body. The equipment is not supposed to be held with a firm grip. After good exercise shifting the violin becomes very simple. It should rest on the collar-bone at an angle. The thickness of the instrument is less than the length between the collarbones to the jaw caused by slight tilt found in it.

For thinner shoulders use a thicker pad for comfort. When shifting locations free left hand certain duties. Ensure always that the violin rests on the collar bone with varying degree of support from the shoulder pad and the left hand. While the collar bone remains constant and how stable it should be is determined by three points during active shift. The function of various parts varies greatly when playing . When held with comfort it can be played for a longer period and with much ease. It can be held easily if the chin rest and shoulder rest are fitted correctly.
