Thanks to all , great lesson ! very informative

That's one beautiful sounding and looking violin! LIke how he has just the e-string peg on mammoth ivory accents, while the rest are ebony accents

[@talesfromthequick]

have heard about Greiner instruments for years. Have heard violins and violas in concert. They are the best, most interesting modern instruments. Easily identifiable for good reasons. It’s not made according to textbook or by imitation, and this seems to be where controversy arises. Oh well

Pricey

[@michaelchoi7849]

@@zec2006 I agree with you, but if they sound as good as old instruments (which is a whole another topic) that cost 300K-10 million dollars, I am sure a lot of violinists will opt for new instruments.

They don’t sound the same as a XVII-XVIII c fine violin, never. They are not the best, they are good violins. Many other makers have the same level, very few over it (but there are some).

3:45 Laurie Niles' question was the difference between playing in a chamber orchestra and a larger one (i guess a symphony orchestra included), but Mr.Tetzlaff didn't answer it, he emphazied he enjoyed both, but they should be different, and we are curious about differences.
