Thank you so so much! That is very kind of you.

You are very lucky/fortunate to have a wonderful family. I'll just bet that the young fella will be a great musician one day with a warm and loving family like he has !! -Mark from Australia.

I own a 1921 model Bunnel. I like it. It’s responsive, bright on the E and A, and bold and mellow on the D and G. The G string sounds as good as any fiddle I’ve ever owned. I use the same shoulder rest, and the combo feels a bit heavy….

[@Corrietheviolinist]

Yeah loved the Bunnel for a student violin! Interesting about the shoulder rest.

[@artoftsai3404]

I love you played different violins and showcasing each violin sounds w/price points. Especially love the sweet sounds of two expensive violins at the end. What are the label name or makers for each expensive violins? My daughter and I are trying to hunt down violins with sweet sounds.

[@Corrietheviolinist]

So amazing! I’m so glad it was helpful! I linked these violins in the description but let me know if you have any questions or anything! (My favorite was the Louis Carpini. It plays incredibly well for a student violin but they’re all quite nice.)

[@pmichael73]

Fun unboxing. It's hard to tell on the video but I think the first violin would sound really good with better strings. It was rather a metalic sound, but for a beginner, you don't want to spend $100 on strings. I just think that violin could sound a lot better. Looks great, too.

[@Corrietheviolinist]

That's a great note. It was a nice violin but agree it needed a little something to make it sound better

[@LonelyGamr]

Love the shirt 👍

[@Corrietheviolinist]

Thanks! 😉

Is it hard to learn the violin? I love music i want to learn a instrument. Mind you now I'm 59 years old I don't know if that's too old to learn now

[@danmyname]

Corrie would probably be the best person to explain this. However, I'll chip in based on my daughter's experience and as a supportive parent. Dedication is #1, which means practice. She wouldn't be where she is if I just leave her to her own devices. I have to be 110% behind her and which means helping her when it comes to learning music for the exams, etc. Age plays a big part, but anyone will tell you that shouldn't stop you no matter how old you are. That said I am music illiterate but there are ways I am able to help my daughter.

[@brianr3049]

@@danmyname ty appreciate the advice my dad use to make music in Nashville mid 70's through the 90's guess that's where my love of music came from I would go to the music studio and just sit there and watch him make music I guess I just want to play an instrument cuz he used to play guitar and drums well I hope she reads my question and reaches out to me I got electric Bass but I haven't picked it up yet it seems like it would be hard I figure maybe a violin would be easier

[@Corrietheviolinist]

Violin is for sure one of the hardest instruments to learn. If you’re ready for that, and ready to give yourself a good 3-5 years to start playing well, then go for it!! Even though it is so difficult, it’s one of the most rewarding and beautiful instruments to play. I have many students even older than you who have successfully learned. But like the other commenter said, it takes sooo much practice and dedication. Electric guitar/bass guitar will be 1000x easier. BUT, if you really want to learn the violin, DO IT!! You’ll love it. Good luck with whatever you decide!

[@valappleby9960]

I have a question, please. How many hairs on a bow can you do without? Several of mine got caught on something and broke, but our store says it takes several weeks to re-hair a bow!! So wondering if there is a minimum amount you need for a good sound?

[@Corrietheviolinist]

Ooo great question! If you’ve just lost a few hairs, you’ll be totally fine! Usually when you’re hitting about 75% of hair it’s time to get a rehair.

[@valappleby9960]

@@Corrietheviolinist thank you sooooo much!!!!! I had no idea. I appreciate your time answering and love you videos and Peter! (My husband is Peter also. :)

[@Corrietheviolinist]

@@valappleby9960 for sure! It’s honestly a great question most people don’t know. Peter is such a good name 😉 ♥️

[@docteurpurpor5250]

You'd be surprised how little hair is needed to make the violin sound. My practice carbon cheapo bow has lost about 2 third of its hair and it still works.... badly though. Sounds shrill and slips easily. As corrie says it's a good practice to get a rehair when a quarter is gone.

[@juliejules7780]

I just buy a new bow when I need a rehair lol

[@loveearth262]

I don't know why I prefer the lowest bunnel model than the middle model Ya I agree the second model little bit nasally. I came here because ray chen ever review cheapest violon from amazon and only bunner that he amaze since have sound like real violin and I imagine maybe the others like toy

[@Corrietheviolinist]

Yes I like the Bunnel model too!

[@ashleypers5805]

What bow would you put with the Louis Carpini G2?

[@ashleypers5805]

That won't totally break the bank ;)

DO YOU THINK THE THIRD VIOLIN IS GOOD FOR A BEGINNER LIKE ME

[@Corrietheviolinist]

Yes! It’s an incredible violin!! I have the link to the exact whole set in the description. (Opt for the carbon fiber bow if you can!)

[@juliejules7780]

Just curious why you're buying another violin. You don't like the one you have?

[@Corrietheviolinist]

Oh I love my violin, but I’ve been searching for an awesome student violin to be able to recommend. So many of them are just terrible to play on! I wanted to be able to recommend one that I actually enjoyed playing on as well.

[@juliejules7780]

@@Corrietheviolinist oh ok. I found a nice one at the pawn shop for $150. I think I got lucky

[@brianarmstrong6215]

Good video. You have a beautiful family. Brick and Mortar stores are disappearing. Because of high taxes, COVID epidemic, and crime. Buying a violin is a good way to get ripped off unless you have some guidance by someone who knows the trade. There is alot of bad products on the market

@@Corrietheviolinist ok then maybe you wanna state it clearly in the description, so that people know they help you when they order through your link. People will be happy to use these links instead of browsing the website through Google. Great little shootout anyways. The Carpini does seem to sound smooth. If it plays well, no doubt it's a winner!

[@Corrietheviolinist]

@@docteurpurpor5250 such great advice. Clearly still learning all this stuff over here haha

[@sman5877]

After watching this video again i think you really need to do it over. it seems pretty rushed and needs captioning of exactly what violin we are seeing. Thank you.

[@Corrietheviolinist]

I totally agree. I’m quite terrible at editing which is why none of my videos have helpful captions or anything. I’m trying to get better! Still new to this.

[@gbake6080]

Wow you’re so gorgeous 😳

[@danmyname]

You're no beginner, I don't know why you're after a student violin or three. Also, I never scratch the rosin. Oh, I think I prefer the 3rd violin. 😄

[@Corrietheviolinist]

I have quite a few beginner students and searching for a good beginner violin to recommend. And found one! Haha

@@brianr3049 yes! For sure one of the hardest instruments to learn! But if you’re wanting to learn, absolutely go for it!! It’s sooo fun once you get the hang of it.

[@warneryan1085]

You play well but none of the violins were properly tuned. Yes its not expected to stay in tune when the strings are new but i mean like right off the bat. The fifths werent lining up

[@Corrietheviolinist]

I knowwww. I filled this very quickly. I had less than 20 minutes to unbox, play, compare etc so didn’t have the time needed to get any of the violins perfectly in tune. But just well enough that I could still play and compare for the video. Thanks for watching though and I’ll make sure they’re more in tune next time. 🙏👌
