My reason for wanting a fretted violin is that I play bluegrass mandolin well, tuned like a violin, and frets cuts the learning curve FOR ME a lot.

Totally legit. And don't let anybody tell you any different.

Frets facilitate playing in tune, & for beginners they'll motivate them.

These help w/ adding precision to the finger placement & they help us overcome the audio situation by allowing us to see where the notes are.

Oh, for anyone who wants to play without frets as an end goal, horrible idea to start on this instrument. Intonation work starts from day 1 and lasts a lifetime. The classic tape is the way to go for people who are would like to play classical music.

@@fink7968 I play about 5 or 6 instruments already, don't have the time for a lifetime of practice and won't play classical. I imagine most people might not have the first part, but most people are the same as me in wanting to play casually or just good enough to compose music, so..... Yeah, maybe shush instead of shutting people down? It's okay to voice a worry, but you've come out guns blazing for something that isn't even useful.

If you can't hear your instrument, I've found if you put your jaw bone on the body to make bone resonance for your inner ear this helps.. or if you have inner ear in, you can hear what you're playing on stage. If you have ear protectors in (which you really should if you're stood on a live set with a lot of ampage!) Then maybe yes, this would be helpful... but you'd also have to make sure you could see the fret board on stage. Some productions and lighting can be pretty shit. But after 15 years of playing, you really should know where to place your fingers! 😅 I hear what you're saying, it's a safety net and I think Good for beginners but the art of the instrument is to be able to play it through understanding it intrinsically and having the instrument as an extension of you. If you watch a lot of violinists, they aren't playing with their eyes open, they're feeling the music... plus you play better because you're limiting a sensory which helps with your playing ability (also why if you listen to soloists in classical movements they hold their breath too! As this actually helps you play better... look it up! ) Just my opinion but if it encourages ppl to commit to practice, then draw them on with a sharpee! 😆😁

The frets allow you to play more lightly w/ less pressure.

Hi! Matt, your other vids about fretted violins, you said NS design frets were meant to be pressed next to the fret like a guitar, and that Mark Wood fretted violins played on top of the fret, so which video is right?!
@RockStarOscarStern634

I believe he actually forgot that because NS design files the frets like on a Guitar or Mandolin

Assuming you've got a light touch on your left hand, yes. Depending on the instrument (how high the frets are), some can be easier than others.
