@MrWiniford -- i was very lucky to have had a chance to play two real strads--i did a bach sonata on one and the bruch violin concerto on another. both were amazing instruments. i don't know what they're actually worth, but they're definately the most expensive vioins i've ever played. even though it was just for a few minutes on each, they were definately very cool minutes :)
@medicello9 -- my brother and i just do the sound samples that you see here on youtube. some of the violins we've played in these videos are loaned to local music conservatories, so are in the hands of professional violinists for use in recording and performing, some have been sold. But we just help catalog them by playing them for a minute or two.
@JeremyImp -- hey thanks for your question...the violins that my brother and i are using in these video sound samples are part of the collection of a professional violinist who passed away a few years ago. their estate asked us to help catalog the collection by recording short sound samples of each instrument. you can see my brother and i using our own violins on our personal youtube channel --

@boomer4666 -- i do too. at first, when we started doing these sound samples, we were faced with hundreds of old, dusty black violin cases. we had no idea what we'd find inside. but as we got going, it was like a treausre hunt. each case revealed a fantastic instrument with its own personality. its been an amazing project. and best of all, there are tons more.
@eboyinc thats sound so friggin epic o_o something out of a movie. who owns all these? your friend or did u just find a abandon mansion and went explorin
@boomer4666 -- thanks...these violins were collected over a lifetime by a professional orchestra violinist and violin teacher who spent a lifetime collecting them.
@v3zah -- wow, i'm just a violin student...i really couldn't tell you what the average violin costs. i think it depends on what level violin you need.
@redee14 --hi, these violins are part of the estate of a professional violinist who passed away a few years ago. some are on loan to professional violinists, some are currently being used by conservatory students, some are on loan to universities and museums/collections of antique instruments, some have been and will be sold, and some will stay with the collection in the hands of the estate.
@lolturtle13 -- you should try your local violin shops, violin schools...some cities/towns have lending programs. some violin teachers lend violins too.
hi, these violins are part of a large collection that belonged to a professional violinist who collected them throughout their lifetime. Most of these instruments haven't been out of their cases in 20 years. The strings are old. We only get about 5 minutes to spend with each instrument, so we don't spend too much time with the strings other than to tune the violin up.
truly amazing...wow...ur posts are just so awesome--
i like your watching your other channel --
musicasa2ndlanguage -- its nice to be able to see all of you both playing and performing. truly amazing...wow...ur posts are just so awesome...keep posting and playing!!...=)
hi...thanks for your comment...we use a very inexpensive $79 casio digital camera to shoot the video clips...you're totally right about the audio...this camera has the world's smallest mic :D
thanks...glad to have you subscribing. this is a beautiful old german violin which has a really nice, dark patina. probably about 100-120 years old :D
hi, the top is made of a fine grain spruce. the dark shading is often the result of decades of old pine rosin that collected on the violin that was shed from the bow. the rosin would actually invade the varnish and darken :D
yeas i play and i can do some vibrado but you are very talented at it I might send you a vid of me playing just not yet lol I am getting a better vilion soon mines is not expert :/
we'd like to see your video when you're ready. we were apprehensive when we started doing the videos here on youtube, but people are very supportive and its good for musicians and people who love music to stick together :D
that sounds nice. Right now I'm am working on a peice and i don't know exectaly how long it will take, but i'm looking forward to send a video, and seeing all of your videos as well!
hi, thanks for your comment...this violin is part of the collection of a lifelong orchestra violinist. its definately a professional level instrument. i was in 7th grade when i did this video. do you play?
superb! it will ask for currencies in my country to acquire one, thank you very much by the information, God to you continues always blessing, we are in contact
hahahaha exact! oh oh a question: what is the sale price of a violin 4/4 back in the United States, but the economic one? I want to have one his sound is pleasant and very beauty of structure :-D
violins here vary so much in price depending on quality, age, origin, maker and of course, sound...i think with some searching, you can find a good violin with a good sound at all price levels :D
hi...the simple answer is yes, absolutely. however, "good" is relative to the player and situation. what is good to a student violinist like myself is probably nowhere near good to someone like perlman or joshua bell. but for your average player, you can get a nice violin for less than $1000 :D
this violin was originally all dark colored which was very much in vogue apparently in the 1880-1920 period. the areas at the shoulders are lighter because of wear from playing over the years. this effect is often copied in an attempt to provide an "antiqued" look. also, on older violins, you may see darkening due to rosin buildup...usually in the area between the end of the sound board and the top of the taipiece (around the bridge) :D
most of the music i play on these sound samples is part of the estate collection...there are boxes and boxes of old sheet music there. i use it and back it goes...if i come across it, i'll try and post it :D
good job! beautifull violin I want to have a violin but cheap that exists she does not matter that she sounds ugly but I want one hahahahahah Amazing, five stars
Where do you get all these? i wish i had an endless supply of violins squirrled away, i have two, a crappy student violin and a $1200 Strad copy. your soo lucky.
well, they're all part of a collection. they asked my brother and i to do sound samples, but we don't own the violins...we're like you, we have a school violin and a basic old strad copy for recitals :D
I love the colours of the body of this violin, so aflame, so passionate... I wish I had a lovely, glossy, dark violin hehe. Still, I'm lucky to play the one I do, one of my teacher's ones, the one she did her diplomas on... it's an excellent instrument. It may not look like the most amazing one, but it sounds great, and that's what matters!
It's the Chaconne in G minor by Vitali, though now believed to be by the Romantic virtuoso violinist Ferdinand David due to its modulations, technical difficulty and just the general character of the music! In fact I had it in iTunes under Vitali for a while but in the end changed it to David - it's clearly a Romantic work!
i don't know much about violins, i'm still a "noob" at it, but i enjoy playing :)
i LOVED to try my friend's violins when i was in an orchestra over 2 years ago. it's so much fun, every instrument has it's own "voice".. oh man, You must have a Blast playing all of these! :D haha funny i feel excited about you guys xD i have to admit i'm a bit jealous
Ah, Vitali. Nice exerpt. I like the violin. I personally own a nearly 300 year old Baroque violin. It's not from one of the great masters, but it's fantastic. It's been passed down through my family from generations. I'm one of the few to actually play it.
wow, 300 years old! i'd love to hear it. you should play something and post it. let me know if you do. thanks for listening to the vitali (it's hard for me to believe i recorded this over a year ago). :D
I have a violin that was handed down to me from my grandmother and its extroadenary sounding. I am no where near as good as you are but i will probably make a vid sometime soon with it
i new to violin, but from all the violin you've shown here.... this one is the best... it has a very deep high pitch,... great sound,,,, by the way what is the name of that violin.. i hope i can have something like that...
Every violin is beautiful, but I think this one is the best. I really care about violins...I saw someone who smashed his violin because he didn't like it ( It can be a Stradivarius) and I started to cry....it's
oooooh...there are people all over the world who would have loved to have had that violin (the one that you saw smashed)...what a shame...i share you're pain!
You are right. That violin was old and precious. That... idiot who smashed it says that is a Stradivarius ( and he's right, they did researches ) and now he wants to sell it and get the money! If I would have that violin....I would consider it my best friend!
Hi,I've watched a bunch of your videos and I was just wondering how long you've played violin and if you have any future goals towards becoming a musician
Hi eboyinc, thnx for your extensive reply! Being able to play at so many instruments is
much of a privilege because you know what it takes and what's possible in violin playing in the end. I have 4 violins at home and love playing all of them and they taught me a lot about the boundaries and new directions to discover. Indeed brands don't matter! Keep up the good work and enjoy!
P.S.: in mentioning shrill instruments I was replying to zwazy19, but the reply didn't get forwarded to him/her:)
Probably it ís a German violin. They tend to be not so well in projecting their sound. All violins sound great in a bathroom and it's hard to get a representational sound recording. But anyway, are those violins to be sold?
i've played so many german violins that have a booming sound...dark and velvety on the bass side, singing--almost operatic on the treble strings...but, of course, they're are always different levels of every kind of violin.....(see next reply, I've run out of words)...........................
....(reply continued)..I've heard terrible Italian violins and fantastic czech instruments...i've heard new American violins that are smokin' and older French violins that sound like a saxophone...and everything in between. I don't generalizing about violins anymore...it doesn't works, does it? Pro violinists know that more the maker and not the country that makes a violin worthwhile....(continued in next reply box.........
lol-i never thought of recording in a bathroom...it would be echoey...i shoot in a corner of our family room...out of the way, carpet on the floor to dampen the sound ....(continued in next reply box.........
.....nothing special in the way of acoustic properties...just couches and chairs and tv...and sometimes, me in the corner trying my best to produce a quick sound sample of this collection of fantastic violins. Yes, they'll ultimately be sold...we get offers almost every week on these violins. Many from well known, professional violinists and professional violin dealers.
Very good you play very well.

modern violin-makers miss some key technics, or all they need is TIME?
seems to be the the best in your collection, it has great depth and dazzling high pitch! fit for concerts.

Every violin is beautiful, but I think this one is the best. I really care about violins...I saw someone who smashed his violin because he didn't like it ( It can be a Stradivarius) and I started to cry....it's
painful to see a smashed violin.

oooooh...there are people all over the world who would have loved to have had that violin (the one that you saw smashed)...what a shame...i share you're pain!

You are right. That violin was old and precious. That... idiot who smashed it says that is a Stradivarius ( and he's right, they did researches ) and now he wants to sell it and get the money! If I would have that violin....I would consider it my best friend!

Hi,I've watched a bunch of your videos and I was just wondering how long you've played violin and if you have any future goals towards becoming a musician

awesome
although i'm just a begginer I would like to play professionally as well
thanks for replying and good luck,you play all my favorite songs!

Hi eboyinc, thnx for your extensive reply! Being able to play at so many instruments is
much of a privilege because you know what it takes and what's possible in violin playing in the end. I have 4 violins at home and love playing all of them and they taught me a lot about the boundaries and new directions to discover. Indeed brands don't matter! Keep up the good work and enjoy!
P.S.: in mentioning shrill instruments I was replying to zwazy19, but the reply didn't get forwarded to him/her:)

hi...thanks so much...oh yeah, i notice that every so often the replies don't match up...wierd :D

Probably it ís a German violin. They tend to be not so well in projecting their sound. All violins sound great in a bathroom and it's hard to get a representational sound recording. But anyway, are those violins to be sold?
amehoelahoep 3 years ago
i've played so many german violins that have a booming sound...dark and velvety on the bass side, singing--almost operatic on the treble strings...but, of course, they're are always different levels of every kind of violin.....(see next reply, I've run out of words)...........................

....(reply continued)..I've heard terrible Italian violins and fantastic czech instruments...i've heard new American violins that are smokin' and older French violins that sound like a saxophone...and everything in between. I don't generalizing about violins anymore...it doesn't works, does it? Pro violinists know that more the maker and not the country that makes a violin worthwhile....(continued in next reply box.........

lol-i never thought of recording in a bathroom...it would be echoey...i shoot in a corner of our family room...out of the way, carpet on the floor to dampen the sound ....(continued in next reply box.........

.....nothing special in the way of acoustic properties...just couches and chairs and tv...and sometimes, me in the corner trying my best to produce a quick sound sample of this collection of fantastic violins. Yes, they'll ultimately be sold...we get offers almost every week on these violins. Many from well known, professional violinists and professional violin dealers.
