  • Incredible fiddle. Will a commercial fiddle hold its value against a handmade single maker fiddle? For this price I challenage that. Is it a good investment?

  • With this fiddle, the person who purchased it had tried many handmade single maker fiddles, but chose this violin on it's sound...

    The sound would be a factor in it's resale as well... Also, I think the fact that the violin has a retail price on our market helps it's resale value.

    These days you will see Roth violins and Colin Mezin violins (from workshops) sell for more than many hand made violins from their era. You're right though.. in this price range, you expect handmade perfection :)

  • @rbodinnar What's that demo song ? Oh yeah...you have a very nice smile:) And from the way you talk I can feel your passion for violins. Id definetely buy from you if I was in the US.

  • Thanx.

    The demo song is just a little twiddle that I made up to demo the violins.

    We're actually in Australia, so being in the US wouldn't help :)

    Thanx for the comment

  • From what I hear on your videos of Gill violins, I've never heard such a wonderfully sorrowful low end. Would that have anything to do with how you have the sound post set up?

  • Good question.... Soundpost setup can have a huge bearing on the depth of the bottom end. On good violins, I can usually highlight the bottom end with soundpost adjustment without sacrificing the top end. On some 'lesser' violins, if I highlight the bottom end, the top end becomes thin and peircing.

  • @rbodinnar Really:) Well what happened to the aussi accent then:? Its hardly noticeable Haha. Well cheers and wish you good luck in your business.

  • By the way.. What is your feelings on repaired top plate cracks and sound? Note; the cracks I'm talking about are stable and well repaired.

  • It's great to see someone like you promoting Chinese violin's! I own two of them and they are very fine indeed. I guess many people don't know that the Chinese were making fine furniture while the Europeans were still stacking rocks. Thanks for your posts!

  • Thanks much.
