Benning Violins: Finding Bespoke "The Violinmaker" - A film by Michael Bernard

[@patriciajrs46]

Bespoke means custom made. Thank you. This video seems to pull out all the tones of these instruments. Good.

We live in Long Beach, Ca and always enjoy visiting Benning violin shop in Los Angeles. I got my personal violin set up a by Benning a few months ago . The violin went from "Fine" to "a Fine Gem" in about one week. Thank You to Mr. Benning for sharing such kindness and craftsmanship.

Amazing history. Incredible. Congratulations.

Orange Blossom Special. That's funny. What you said about making and maybe not playing, is an inspiration to me. Thanks you folkd.

[@qutubhashmi1656]

What an inspiration. I just loved to watch this video. What an amazing violin making family. It has been my dream to make a real violin since my childhood. I started learning violin when I was in high school and own a cremona violin. I don't only love its sound but I am in love with the shape and carving of violin. That is why I started making miniature violin. I love 🎻 🎻 🎻 🎻 🎻 🎻 🎻 🎶 🎶 🎶

1:20 if that's true, I'm very proud of her - all the way here from Australia :) I've seen and heard your copies.... they are *just* as good as the originals! Particularly the Da Saló viola belonging to a great orchestra! I remember seeing a photo of Zubin Mehta holding both!

[@fnersch3367]

Wonderful video. Wish it was an hour long doc. Very interesting.

[@prodiver7]

Marvellous! Inspirational!

[@amberpagan1756]

Making a violin the old way is nice but the finishing should be finish the new way of today’s new finishing i can finish a violin to sound like 300 years old today. You guys are amazing.

GENIAL, aún hoy muy Inspirador por sus dos partes, una por el contenido de la historia y forma fílmica de contarla porque además aunque no seas un experto en el tema musico te sumerge y vives su historia de lutier. Y como segundo te concentra tanto lo uno que te Lleva a buscar lo segundo (Sin pensar en el comercial o que viste un comercial...), te Lleva a buscar el trabajo del lutier en esta área del Instrumento poco trabajada "el violin". Gracias. Aún ahora sigue dejando huella este trabajo, valió la pena esta magnífica realización. Saludos desde La Mitad del Mundo.

[@branflakes2600]

What was the introduction piece? The piece at the beginning of this video?

[@branflakes2600]

I know it's Paganini.

[@hiddeb8798]

It's "Nel cor più non mi sento" by Paganini

[@branflakes2600]

+hidde bekkers thank you!!!! I've been wondering years before!

[@rockhard2654]

isnt that the guy who took care of Heifetzs violins?

[@kostasmponis1042]

Yeap!

[@ThePradeepA]

What is the price of this violin

[@luke46219]

The ones that have actual prices listed on their site are 15,000 to 20,000 USD. Others say "available upon request", so would expect those to have a list price much higher.

[@vionobleDE]

7:25 or I will kill them :) you made my day.

[@morte3252]

You should really check out the Chinese violins around $800, they are quite competitive.

[@nicolehenzler]

You are trining to steal my dad name

[@mohann2007]

(5:31: oopsy...)

[@imateapot51]

If anyone else stinks at violin and thinks they have no musical talent, take up piano.

"He's a fenomenal violinist"; next frame shows him playing some neckbeard shit. Video closed
