Sound sample of an absolutely amazing American Guarnerius violin made in Chicago by one of America's most interesting violinmakers. The carving is incredible on this violin and the sound is mellow and beautiful. The sound sample is an excerpt of the Vocalise by Rachmaninoff and is being sightread by a 16 year old student.

  • This may be my favorite of the violins so far. So clear and pure tone.

  • @BioLuminescentOne -- its a really amazing instrument...very unusual...glad you checked out the vid :)

  • Have you ever heard of a Pinney Violin? I just started playing the violin and I've been told that many years ago we had a good American Violin maker in the family by the name of Harold Pinney. It sparked my interest in trying to find out more about him and his violins.

  • @KevinSkene -- i've seen references to harold pinney but i've never seen one of his violins. there's probably information out there on him...good luck with the search...and your playing :)

  • You are a very accurate violinist. (:

  • @est101010 -- thanks :)

  • @eboyinc I was just wondering this very thing. What a gift if must have been for you to go through this amazing collection of fine instruments. Listening to you play makes me want to learn so badly. They sure did find great people to bring out the sounds of these instruments. Just incredible. I will check out your own youtube channel. My favorite sound samples are from the Viola instruments. :) Thank you for uploading these videos.

  • @TammyThuyTran -- the violins we play here on eboyinc belonged to a professional violinist who passed away a few years ago. their family asked me & my brother to help them catalog the collection by playing a short sound sample of each instrument. that was 3 years ago & we're still working on the collection. they don't belong to us--we only get about 5 minutes with each instrument. you can hear & see us playing our own violins/violas on our personal youtube channel ~~
