Pray the family is blessed and thriving!! Long time since I jammed with yall!!!!

About twenty years ago I was sitting in a lecture you gave at the Violin Society of America. You were complaining that no violin makers make five string violins. I am sitting there thinking that I had made a dozen five string violins by that time, many to good, professional folk musicians. Now,here you are reviewing a carbon fiber violin. I’m 77 and still make great acoustic, wooden, traditional violins that sound like violins, and happy I do. Someday contact me for a real violin

Thinking of starting cello, been playing electric bass for years. If I get a carbon cello with whitner pegs I won't have to put up with that luthier BS 😅

It has a good sound but there is a lot of buzz coming from the amp. It seems like the sheilding in the electrics is not very effective. That would definitely put me off.

How much is it.

I've had Knilling and Whitner. The Killing slipped in the middle of a concert. The Whitner are easier and more sensitive to tune. The Whitner don't require pushing in to lock in the tone. I love the mechinal pegs, just won't use the Knilling again.

I'm so nervous to put these on my multi generation fiddles, but I know it will increase their life. Plus I've already broken my heart destroying an E peg.. if my A on my viola goes it will make me cry.

I don't think you need to grasp the pegbox while turning the pegs. It takes a while before the inner part becomes slack (then you just need to push the peg in).

Dude, were you guys totally baked? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Darol, I'm going to make sure mine is unplugged when I play it underwater. Just sayin'! Great video!

"You could paddle your canoe and play it later that night with it" or "play it underwater, take it to Mt Everest". 😂 LOVE IT!! Thanks for the wonderful review and the superb playing.

Fully agree geared pegs are the way to go. Personally I fit them myself, but I don't recommend that unless you know what you are doing.

Nice job and great playing! Now I know what I want for Xmas!

Love it❤

Hi Darol, I literally cannot curve my thumb the right way, I have extremely crazy long spagethetti hands. my thumb feels more flexible bent the opposite way, it locks if I bend it the way other people do. Will I ever be able to be good based on this, I wasn't finding it a problem until I learnt it was 'wrong'.

Have you ever had problems with them opening up?

Scandinavian Fiddles are SO wonderful! And as for Scandinavian Women...

How long do you think the AAA Batteries would last?

One not good thing is the little resonans of harsh, but it sounds reealy good at all

great 1 nice . too bad it dosent have a tunner built in . But I think I will get one

Hello thanks for your videos! I play guitar and have been taking Bryan Sutton’s lessons for a while but would like to take up fiddle as well. If I take your artist works course using a 5 string fiddle instead of a four, would that make things unnecessarily difficult for me?

I always wondered if they change the value of the instrument. According to Darol, unless you have a Strad or other super collectable instrument, probably not. After all I guess, they are meant to be played.

Super cool, and it sounds so nice with those two fiddles…. xx

Thanks Darol. Listening to you , Vasser and Stephane since '76. You are still in the top three haha love you and your blowed up whale and showing regular guys how to have a chin cello..all the best....Chico

Did you end up keeping it or sending it back?

Wow, interesting fiddle, those f-holes, or leaf-holes!

That was great!!!!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!!!

Just got to say it, Daryl is my favorite violinist on the planet.I love seeing you smile and it's obvious that you love what you do when you play. I feel the same way when I hold my charger. Blessings to you both. Enjoyed this.

The Musical Tao of Darol Anger. Always a pleasure!

Even after all these years, watching bow'd instrument players play still seems a bit like magic to me. I have enough trouble with frets.

Can you please elaborate a little bit more about the brand name and a link to where to buy them?

Just came from a pretty fancy gig my daughter was playing in Beverly Hills and at the end of the first set, she came running over to me frantic that her her mechanical E string peg was stripped ! As a cellist, I always used regular pegs on my instruments and for the Gaspari pegs there were screws that you could use a screw driver on to tighten them if need be. But the ones now, have nothing and if they fail, you are out of luck. So, I ran to the car and found a pair of pliers and was able to tune her E string by turning the shaft. I'm waiting to here if she made it thru the gig okay. I told her to just use the fine turner and don't bump it !

NY is New York, Darol. I've loved your playing for a long time. Thanks for the review.

Two of my very favorite players of all time time have at it. Thanks fellas.

I tried out a Glasser, a Realist and a London AES 5 string, and ended up buying the London AES. All three were nice, but the London was superior for me. Of course, it cost significantly more than the Glasser and the Realist but is totally worth it IMO. The acoustic capabilities of the Realist and the London were significantly better than the Glasser, which is part of what sold me on it.

is your fiddle realist pro 5 ?

I just ordered the acoustic version and now I’m wondering can you order the electric Chin rest and bridge separate to upgrade your existing acoustic? just curious

Now we have string winders designed for them, which means you can litterally crank the pegs when restringing the instrument, just like a Guitar. Friction Pegs & Fine tuners are way too outta date nowadays, all Stringed instruments should use just Geared Tuners & also String Winders cause it's way more updated.

This video sold me, just pulled trigger on one just like this one!

Maybe you could get some lessons on how to use a camera so that you can get closeups in focus ! Otherwise nice review

I'm afraid they'll have to phase out all the friction pegs & fine tuners from the Violin/Viola/Cello (and other instruments such as Viola da Gamba, and even so Lute), & just stick to geared tuners cause they turn more smoothly, plus you can use a string winder to speed up the string change.

Gorgeous song - I found this by accident this morning while searching for music on instagram stories and just love this so much I wanted to hear the whole song rather than 15 second sound bites. So glad I've heard it properly, beautiful voice and lovely music xxx
