Orchestra Tape

a question for string instrument players... out of curiosity?
im a beginer violist and ive been listening to a lot od classical music and watching a lot of tapes of orchestra concerts. ( im hoping to improve my tone and style by doing so). ive noticed that when they (the mucisian) rubs? the string in a certain way it creates a sort of echoey sound. i was just wondering how they do that, because ive had no sucess in trying to do so myself... im sure im doing it wrong though. an answer would be greatly appreciated. thanks a lot
I'm not a violinist, I'm actually a classical pianist, but I'm almost certain what you're speaking about is Vibrato. I know (my girlfriend plays Viola) That You really have to be relaxed when using this technique, there's multiple ways of going about it too.
This may not be the best video, but it is Ben Chan giving a tutorial on all of the different steps toward creating Vibrato. It is not an easy technique and I wouldn't worry about it too much if you're a beginner. You should speak to your (or a) teacher about the technique too and always be practicing it, but never stress over not being able to do it because from what I've heard it really takes time to get right. (I've also added a few other links to different videos here. They may all be helpful in their own ways.

Good luck,

POST EDIT:
Oops...I thought you said violinist. I misread. Anyway, for Viola the technique should be exactly the same as far as I'm aware.
