I wish you never stopped producing content. You make me feel like family.

speaking of circus clowns…🤡 There are many good violin teachers on KZbin this guy is not one of them. Don’t waste your time with this clown unless you are looking for a little comedic relief.

Muy bien explicado a con un tono de vos muy agradable tranquilo y entendible que a parte de tocar el violín aprenderé con facilidad el ingles

Would beeswax work as a lubricant for the screw? Thanks for the videos.

It's actually a great video showcasing in my opinion the most important advice you'll ever receive playing a bowed instrument - bow control and technique cannot be stressed enough, it's solely responsible for bringing out the voice of the instrument. He brought up some great tips that are taught more commonly nowadays to aspiring professionals that have been passed down through generations. I've played for 23 years and I had a mentor that studied with Ivan Galamian who had me show up to a lesson with just a pencil (couldn't help but chuckle when he opened the box in the video) and had to bow with the pencil and sing the theme out loud to the first movement of the Mozart Violin Concerto No. 5 for her. I can't tell you how many times she told me to freeze and look at the pencil and how it wasn't straight, or how my shoulder was raised, etc. She told me to not touch my violin that week and just said to keep practicing with the pencil. I showed up to the next lesson with my violin and the moment I started playing my mouth dropped to the floor, she stopped me and said, "You finally have a sound!"

thank you a lot it was amazing

I think this whole fascination and obscene value of the older violins is a big crock of crap. I’ve seen quite a bit of information indicating that many modern well made violins sound as good or even better than these old relics. To each his own I guess. I don’t buy it.

This guy is a conman. IMHO.

This was an act of creating beauty. Just wonderful to watch. You truly are gifted in this craft. Well done!

This guy is hilarious. He is a perfect representation of the violin racket.

Excellent video. Actually, just excellent channel overall.

Stradivari only blackend the chamfers of the scroll not the edges of the ribs or button. Guarneri is the one that blackened all of the said surfaces

I am an autodidact fiddle player ( autodidactic for numerous reasons) who has been struggling to play the instrument fo 40 years. Oh how I wish that Kevin's videos had been available when I started. I consider him to be THE BEST violin teacher on the internet - there is no-one who comes anywhere near him in understanding the psychology of adult learning!

The other problem with leaving it out in the sun is that if you have a carbon fiber case like a BAM, the case can warp permanently in the heat. Ask me how I know :(

Loved the video. Also, if you ever want a side job, you’re an absolute voice-ringer for our prime minister!

How can I get in touch with you? I have something you may be interested in.

Yelow Reed Golden resinate color how made

Hi can you explain mee how made zinc rosinate ground color

I don't know how many people know this, but there is at least 1, and possibly 2-3 Strad guitars in existence. I'm sure there must be a few other instruments out there

I'm itching to find out more about the violin process but I was confused by the composition and use ( What the differences are so I dont mix them up ) of french polish, varnish, varnish cleaner, and plain old denatured alcohol. Your video was really informative though and I'm a big fan!

41:15 you never use any kind of wax?

What software was used to see the sound waves?

This fascination with the intricacies of violin making reminds me of wine tasting. Mostly a big pile of pompous BS.

Kevin, your explanation of the varying thickness makes sense. They tapped the wood, listened and carved. They eyeballed what they thought was correct. The genius was in the sensitive ears and eyes of these luthiers. They must have learned it from masters who preceded them.

Looks like you went from a plated fusion to interbody spacers.. i have a 3 level with the same. Im 2mo post op! How you doing? Please give an update

😊😊😊

Just so you know, you are reattaching a piece. or like you say Repocketing, so it is not really a broken neck. That will be something I love to see how u do it

Very good information.

Magnetographs of Stradivari top and back plates (Geoffrey Loen, 2002) show that his top plates were graduated to select for the ring mode. The back plates were graduated to select for mode 6. Violin makers refer to it as mode tuning. Both plates are worked down to 2mm (or less) at their outer perimeters to improve transient response. Sophisticated makers are well aware of these techniques.

That comment, at 1:40, says it all-- the object is not to carve them all the same; on the same thickness, the same arch, but to listen to, and feel the wood and carve each one as to the way "it'" needs to be carved. That really helps me. I don't need to be exact. I need to be absorbing, awake, and attentive to the intracacies of each board that I use. Parameters, yes. Absolute boundaries, no.

the violin is like a carpentry craft, but the sound of the viola is weak, there is no shine of power and the bass is harsh.Everything will work out for you .A master is not born , a master has been nurturing his sound for years .This viola has a weak sound comparable to factory ones.

Hey Kevin, I just wanted to express how much I appreciate your teachings and the passion you bring to music! Your insights have truly enhanced my understanding. I’m curious about the 'romantic school of music' you often mention. It seems like a unique concept that you’ve developed, but I couldn't find much historical record about its origins in 1715. The Romantic period of music started around 1830, furthermore the school seems to be largely based around Paganini and his teachings yet he wasn't born until 1782. Could you share more about that? Thanks for all you do! I do enjoy your teachings and find them helpful but you speak with authority on the historical matters and I am having a hard time understanding where this is coming from. thanks!

Enthralling video. Thank you.

Is that a German violin?

Stradivari, not Stradivarius. The man's name was stradivari. The other guy is Guarneri.

Lots of marketing here

Excellent video-- this was very helpful. Thank you!

Muito obrigado pelo vídeo, esse é um conteúdo difícil de se encontrar. Comprei meu primeiro modelo hill, e já perdi a corda lá (A), que na verdade não seria para estar esse tipo de afinador . Posso usar as esferas direto neste afinador??

Metronome mastery developes the maximum amount of time in between each note, allowing a player to relax to the fullest before the next note, slow and perfect metronome practice is the art of masters, before they move forward with complete confidence and speed in the work.

Thanks for an extremely interesting video! Inspecting a magnificent-sounding Brothers Amati cello up close the first time I encountered a Cremonese instrument as a kid, I was struck by the width of the grain on its table-about 3/8” between its rings-and realized that whatever a master maker’s decisions in order to make any sort of wood function brilliantly is a major part of the luthier’s art.

When all the rib and lining parts are bent 'just right' they just sit there. Wouldn't this aspect benefit from a little intentional 'tension' by under/over bending some of the parts, with hopes of affecting the sound quality?

maybe i misunderstood, but you cant play each scale starting with the same finger. my brain hurts..

i went on your website but cant find where to buy these flashcards

how interesting. i always knew to start with a metronome playing a passage, and gradually speeding it up, but this stick method boggles my mind . how did they make metronomes back then?

Talk about a violin French exorcism 😮😂😂😂❤

Oh the vanity!! Hilarious and tragic at the same time.
