10 year old YT video. Was able to tune my kid's violin. It's astoundingly more nuanced than a guitar.

how do you take care of a 100+ year old violin?

Bow bugs; I thought that was going to be something annoying when playing with worn out hair. Sadly, much worse! Thanks for the video, it seems I'm well overdue a rehair.

This narrator's 'Vocal Fry' is so fluckin awful that I am having difficulty understanding what he is saying at times (and I am a native English speaker).

They look good. Wish I had some of the good stuff.

Thanks for sharing. Greatings fr Belgium ❤❤❤

Great Christmas music for busking with friends 😃

Thank you, finally a real beginners video.👍

Great video! As an intermediate player I bought a Chinese violin for $600 some years ago, a similar violin made in Europe could cost me $3000 that time! Very happy with the instrument so far!

You you tune that 7/8 size violin from E A D G to Bb F C G? Right?

I’m a students and my parents require me to practice. Without this video, I would have been DOOMD. Thank u SOOO much!

Hi. I have a 1928 A.E. Smith that requires a little restoration. Can you recommend someone? I am in Brisbane. Thankyou

I like the Stauffer model better, it sings better.

Thank you so much! I am a beginner and I am 5’2” tall or 158 cm. I was deciding and I almost went for a 3/4 size but I feel certain now it would have been too big, esp as I suffer from neck problems! Thanks ❤

A lovely rendition of the piece! I know of (and have played) a couple of J.B. Vuillaumes, and they have a little bit of a weird quality about them..... almost like you need a special key to "unlock their sound" and also playability. 7:02 to 7:08 sounded like a bit of a struggle, but with passing time and the right bow would "solve" how to get the best sound out of the instrument WITH ease. I thought it was a Sartory before seeing the first part of the video. I thought perhaps Sartory or Hill. I didn't think of Bazin bows, because they adapt well almost instantly (in my opinion).

How to tell the difference between saxony and bohemian Violine 😊?

I repair small electronic devices and use rosin for/when soldering. Is it the same? Or is violin-rosin a specialty product, made specifically for violins? Because if it’s the same thing, the rosin we use in electronic repairs, isn’t as expensive? Please clarify. Thank you kindly

An excellent presentation. Thank you.

Oh, dear. Something isn't right.

Sounds so rich!

I didn't know that Schroeder violins were made in China.... because of the German name. It makes sense now, because I inspected a high quality 'Schroed' for about 20 - 30 minutes. The workmanship is top-notch but there was something suspicious about how it was crafted. I thought maybe it was made in a modern German factory with many workers... but it felt mass-produced.... something I expected from a Chinese workshop. Thanks for clarifying.

The opening excerpt is something that I knew would happen - "speeding through" a passage from something like "Jupiter" . It's quite hard to sustain a nice melody on a Schroeder unless the setup is JUST right. When I say: "just right" I mean: hundreds of dollars spent on the sound-post and possibly a new bass-bar; cut and fitted. Then the other aspects such as the very important strings which suit the particular violin .... and the lesser parts such as tailpiece and chin-rest etc. Boxwood is VERY different to ebony.... You might buy such a violin - Schroeder 50J for about $600 but then need to add $300+ worth of "tuning up [like a car]" on top. It IS actually worth it though - you can turn a $600 Schroeder violin into a $1000+ violin with the right set-up. Even getting a 7mm sound-post rather than a standard 6mm sound-post can make all the difference. Always ask experts what violin you're actually getting. Don't just "trust" music stores who just want to make money from a "beginner". Nice video.

1:03 - your intonation is great, but the technique you use... WHO taught you that? At 1:23 I'm particularly concerned as someone who's been a professional teacher for about 10 years now... but don't worry, since things seem to settle down around 1:29, just a few seconds after my initial concern. You can "under-play" or you can "over-play". I saw both in this video and *sincerely* hope that you're not doing your body any damage. It was a great demonstration of this violin though!

There was some mistakes. But its a beautiful work even like that. Thank you for show us you talent.

I have owned Eastman guitars, a mandolin, and a violin. All instruments performed very well. I am currently evaluating Eastmans for a new violin. This videa was exceptionally objective and informative.

Lovely

He talking crap every knows everything made in China is bad and cheap and shops like this are putting huge profit margins on cheap Chinese instruments

Thank you, I was not sure of the key. Being a guitar player I tune to G but it did not seem right for the violin. You cleared this up for me.

I have a 19th Century Italin Violin and Flute. My mom gave me tbe flute and I inherited my Stradivari from my Great Aunt who was a professional Orchestra Member. Violin is one of my all time favorite instruments so I absolutely love it and care for it as a Violin should be cared for. . .especially an old one. 😊

The Chinese have a tradition of making something as cheaply as they can get away with it. They are experts at making junk look good on the outside. I would buy from a trusted Luther... not Chinese.

Brushing my teeth while watching this video, I realized my Sonicare toothbrush vibrates right about a C. Also, that 3rd one sounds really good to this beginner. I wish I lived nearby.

greetings. \please specify the set of strings, you have on this instrument.

#20_Satie_Cello_😇🇺🇸

nice. but all those violins for what

Hello, is that the sva 800?

Bravo

Thank you!!

Is this the same brand as Bam?

Love the pic with the cello.

Thank you. Wood quality is important as well as the shape, sound post is very important. What I want to use on my violin are the silver winded strings as silver tends to produce sounds clearer while gold is more richer.

How much is it?

Exceedingly useful! Visual demonstrations, measurements of the models used. I could hardly ask for more, Thank you!

Beautiful 🥰

I have never played a violin before.I cannot afford a violin in the thousands of dollars.I am only 69 years old but I would eventually like to buy a good quality violin I know that sounds strange.Would you be able to give some advice please.

You can get violins made in europe? I hate it that violins are made in china.

A beautiful Guarneri (Cannone)

The title says Giovanni, the description say it is the brother of Andrea . Nonetheless, they produce beautiful sound, i bought one.

Are Cremona’s still made in Italy? I read are were made in China.

Thanks for the great video. For info: it’s pronounced “Geeva”
