What is the song playing at 1:44?

[BertieW0oster]

@orochimarui2

The song playing at 1:44 is Antonio Vivaldi's Winter, approximately 3min and 30 sec into the song.

Which violin making school is more respected? Violin Making School of America, Chicago School of Violin Making, or the violin making program from the Jacobs School of Music?

That's Nigel Kennedy's playing, I could totally tell. LOL, his harsh playing

[Qwonks]

wow O_O . thats really great. i do play the violin and i think it would be cool if im playing an instrument i made with my own hands, so i would really like to try to make a violin by myself O_O

[ElOctavoArcangel]

@Qwonks I made by my self my guitar. It's so beautiful playng something that you did!

[CSimeviolin]

I play the violin and might start making violins its pretty difficult though -.- I really want to make it into a violin making school =) but anyways i love this video because it informs you about many things

[ryuichirapha]

I love going to Peter Prier's. I get all my supplies there, such as mutes, strings, rosin, etc. They are really nice and helpful, especially if you need any touch ups or repairs.

I was a violin maker for ten years. It's a rough way to make a living. During my training, our instructor would tell us every day that is wasn't too late to quit and do something else. We all thought he was joking, but he was serious. I even went to the school in this documentary. No regrets, but now I am going to medical school. Art doesn't pay. Many violin makers have wives that pay the bills for them for years and years. Oh, and musicians are crazy, good luck dealing with them.

your so right!

[StephaneGrappelli]

wow amazing

[jenhorne]

@ 2:26 did that guy just eat a wood chip or was it just my imagination? lol

[poman265]

lol

[lankmank]

looks like he wet his fingers with his tongue

[Qwonks]

well i think he just licked his fingers to make them wet ^^

[Bobman4671]

@jenhorne Hell If I was making an instrument, I'd like to taste my work too.

What a nice commentary. It so very well captures the solitude and craftsmanship --- the art --- of violinmaking. You can tell everyone who appears in the video has found their calling.
