I know it's nothing to brag about but I have a wolf note on my E on the D string. so since I'm s begginner everytime I play that note I think I've done something wrong but i HAVEN"T! YAY! even my teacher played it and he was like that's a wolf alright... anyway just thought I'd tell everyone. (most musicians hate wolf notes but they just annoy me...sometimes they can sound good....yes I am crazy)

a wolf note occurs especially in the upper registry of the G string, and as far as i've heard, is exclusively cellos only. It is when the sounds comes out rather husky and unclear, and the most commom spots for wolf notes are the 'E' in 4th position on the G string, and the C string itself. You can buy 'anti wolfenators' (i dont know what they're called) that fit on to one string, and helps create a better sound. you can also try playing closer to the bridge. and yes, if you're a beginner, it's nothing to worry about, and on SOME occasions, it fits nicely with whatever style you're playing.
Hope i've helped!

Oh...ok..I've never heard of that before. I'm not a beginner I've playing for almost 5 years now and I have never heard of a wolf note untile now. Thanks for telling me what it is.

About wolf notes occurring only on cellos, I remember having read about violins having them too. it was in a book about building violins, I think.

really? that's interesting, but now that i think about, my school strings teacher did have a bit of a rant about how wolfs are so annoying when playing violin. lol thanks for clearing that up!
