Sound Sample- Sinding Suite 3rd Mov by Christian Sinding

[MagicalTalesOfWolves]

Oh my God this is beautiful...Amazing violin...

[adasakain]

if i had to describe the instrument but not the sound, i'd say it seems like a clay rendering of a violin made by someone who knows nothing of the craft of the luthier...but then i would have to qualify the sound, as this unskilled person has created a sonor masterpiece...brilliant! and well played i might add...

[eboyinc]

this is a very special violin. the maker was considered a genius in both instrument making and sound, and he was apparently very eccentric...there's a story that he set up a booth and made a violin in an hour at the 1900 worlds fair. he made these exagerated violins for some special reason...not all of his violins were like this...its much prettier in person :D

[adasakain]

perhaps i misworded my opinion, as i find the violin to be beautiful, an almost taoist rendering of a violin. it appears as though it is made from clay, an imitation of a violin, but the sound belies it's face.

i would be quite pleased to see more of this maker's violins, should you care to share his name!

[txmusician13]

strange. i was thinking of getting a custom-made violin that i would've looked exactly like this. i have never seen a violin made almost the exact way i wanted it to be. the modified magini-style holes with the slightly raised edge would've been the finishing touch on my instrument. can i get the maker's name?

thanks!

[eboyinc]

hi, this violin was made somewhere between 1890 and 1900. i'm sure you could find a modern maker to attempt the design :D

[SudlerChair]

That is just fantastic playing. The violin is amazing too!!!

[ArthurTyler]

wow, this thing looks strange, but sounds wonderful!

[eboyinc]

it's more exotic and beautiful to look at it person...all around an amazing instrument :D

[horsewhispers1]

Your video samples have convinved me. (: I'm getting a second violin, one that I can carry around to school and rehearsals, while the one I have right now will be for practicing at home and performances. I've been hunting around for some good American violins. And my friend and I are going violin shopping together soon. Heheh, great stuff!

[eboyinc]

shopping!!!! now you're talking lol :D

[horsewhispers1]

Hahaha, yes! There's a strings shop downtown where I live and the last time I went, I spent over an hour just trying out a bunch of bows that they gave me to choose from. I didn't even end up buying a bow that day, but instead took four different ones home for a trial period. And the time I was picking out a new violin, oh jeez. I think I spent at least two hours trying out the most gorgeous instruments in the cozy little side room them have. Violin shopping is fun. :D

[gvn933]

awesome i love it

[AytidaRed]

cool violin

[AytidaRed]

reminds me of that J Bohmann violin you played

[eboyinc]

its an amazing violin; you have a great eye and a violinist's memory...same maker :D

[AytidaRed]

ohh thanks! :)

[eboyinc]

hi...you're welcome...glad you liked it :D

[Mahlerman12345]

That's a really amazing violin you have there. I've never seen anything like that! Didn't Stradivari carve unusual violins? Is it labeled? I'd like to know more about it. The sound is exquisite.

[eboyinc]

it was made at the end of the 19th century by josef bohamnn...one of three in this collection. they're really extraordinary :D

[ProSkateboarder1]

wow... how old are you (only if you dont mind answering) and how long have you played the violin? btw i give you 5 stars =)

[eboyinc]

i'm 15 and i've been at it since i was 10...started in school. thanks for watching :D

[dpxmidisplaylol]

Sounds so nice, although the violin helps a bit, you produce really beautiful sounds with your playing. Very enjoyable.

5 stars.

[eboyinc]

thanks so much...glad you enjoyed the video. the violins in this collection are wonderful :D

[masael255]

I agree with the previous posters; incredibly clean and powerful sound. A wonderful violin for sure only to suit a wonderful musician. Oh, and welcome back girl eboyinc. :P Those are both of your new names (since I'm half awake), girl and boy eboyinc. XD Oh, I request a fiddle duel between you and your brother. XD

[eboyinc]

hi...thanks so much. a duel hmmmm, do i get to chose an instrument for him or do we have to play on the same violin :D

[masael255]

Two different instruments, you each choose your own "weapon". :P It's like a gladiatorial battle...but with violins. XD

[eboyinc]

i'll start looking for something with really old strings and a warped bridge...for HIM! otherwise he'll kim me :D

[masael255]

Hahaha, wow...vicious! XD I love sibling rivalry...It's like the ultimate clash of super powers! :P You think he'll win though? Hmm...I say we host a Youtube challenge! Both do the same piece on the same violin and see who people vote for! XD *plotting evil things*

[Boondockflyfish]

I don't know if it's the violin, but this is one of the best "sound samples" you've produced, excellent playing, very clean

[eboyinc]

its a beautiful instrument so i have to give it credit...thanks for watching :D

[horsewhispers1]

Wow, this violin is extraordinary. =o

[eboyinc]

i agree completely...its the second one from this maker that i've sampled. it's amazing :D
