VERY cool!!! :)

[locrianfy]

What piece it's playing at beginning?

[Kth1723]

now a trumpet, exactly, focusing on steel not on responses from the body when playing.

That's not what they are "designed for". People shouldn't forget that it is a modern conversion of a baroque era instrument, with a high action setup and the loudest steel strings you can buy (I see Evah Pirazzis on there). Yes they are fantastic instruments but I'm sure everything possible has been done to convert this into a concert instrument, and it is so far removed from its origins.

Yo no quiero escuchar a la estúpida gente hablando del instrumento yo quiero OIRRRRRR el instrumento!!!

its absolutely beautiful and its tone is amazinq !

@jondoodle564 I think it might have something to do with the purple paint also. It's origins are not known. It is assumed that it was dipped in a factory somewhere, but actually was painstakingly coated with magic purple paint imported from the high mountain top of the himalayas. This is what allows sustain for days and tone that could make pacemaker go off.

@bitcheznhos sure, what ever your want.

@jondoodle564 But this violin in particular happens to be made of similar wood of a stradivarius. I have taken it to 3 separate violin luthiers and they are shocked at the tonal resonance and sustain this First Act violin gives off, with minimal bowing effort. One put it in the 'magical' category, as he did not believe what he heard. I have been offered big money and turn it down each time. This one is a keeper ! !

@jondoodle564 - You don't reckon.

ROFL!
