I don't think people realize that Brett and Eddy's violins are probably worth like $10k + maybe even more. Those are old violins and they are professionals. I have looked up Brett's instrument. He plays an old Scrollavetza which goes for between the $20k-$30k range (AT AUCTION = MORE FOR RETAIL). Another thing I want to mention is that Benny's bow also makes a huge difference at that level. It could perhaps be a Pecatte or a Tourte which costs more than Brett's violin alone ( ~$100k respectively)

[@jasonfrost5025]

"Old" doesn't just mean "good." There are new instruments that sound way better than plenty of old ones. Most of the time it's just a placebo effect tricking people into thinking some old piece of crap sounds better.

Last Saturday I attended Benny's concert in Taiwan. We all know that Benny is an incredibly amazing, talented violinist, and his recordings are beautiful for sure, but let me tell you something: they certainly pale in comparison to his live performance. It was the most magical experience. It's been days and I'm still thinking about it. So if you ever get the chance, do go to concerts, immerse yourself in the powerful sound that came straight out of the instruments (btw, if I'm not wrong, Benny's playing on a Strad now). I almost died when Benny (in a shy manner) reminded the audience that there are still a few movements left. (And everybody clearly liked dat ;)) I even heard a girl nearby whispering 'aww he's so cute ;-; ' and I was like I KNOW RIGHT)

Heard a sad story of Guarneri's life. He lived at the same time as Stradivari and struggled competing him. During his life he wasn't highly recognized (mostly because of the fame of Stradivari) and her violins' sound was considered as squeaky an hissing. But the fact is that at these times violin concerts were run in small rooms for small groups of listeners. When music became more popular for the masses and concerts were organized in much bigger audiences it appeared that Guarneri violins sound much better and brighter in those big spaces but the master already passed away by that time. That was the reason why Paganini preferred Guarneri over Stradivari. And that's why, unfortunately, there are only about 30 Guarneri violins left (comparing to 400+ Stradivari's) nowadays.

I think the difference is the time the Brett and Eddie spent playing in a string section, where they played to fit in, rather than to stand out. I notice that all the soloists play with an intensity and aim to stand out. Brett and Eddie play in an ensemble fashion. I can see them breaking that habit, if they think about it. You guys always play with that edge of self-deprecation that the soloists don't . They play with total ego. That's the difference.

What makes Benny an amazing musician is not just his ability to physically play well (even though that's off the charts), he obviously has an amazing ear, and the ability to instantly recognise what can make something sound better, or what kind of instrument would suit what style of playing. Having this ability to make judgement calls on playing, sound, instrument, technique etc puts him in a league of his own. Just wow.

[@TheReal4th]

To be honest I have my doubts. I really don't hear a difference between the violins, even with my really good headphones. A lot of it is probably placebo. There is a test on this. They tested the sounds of different stradivarius violins and the blindfolded listeners couldn't commonly exact on a definitive difference. It's mostly placebo. But if there is a difference, it is miniscule and border-line imperceptible.

[@MrPr1nglz]

@@chickenbob562 That's an interesting take on it and a very good explanation. While I have never touched a violin, I can tell the subtle differences in the pitch. Also, the higher quality a violin is, the smoother the transition between notes seem to be like the difference between hollow and solid wood when you knock on it. That's my observation at least but yes: just like with any skill set, the more practiced you are in it, the easier it is to pick up on the nuances and tell what makes a proper tool for the job at hand.

@@TheReal4th I sing in front of an audience regularly and do music production a bit, that's about all the qualification I have for this. I listened to the differences twice, once with my 2.1 speakers and once with my 7.1 surround headphones and I hear the difference both times.
