[@jamesa375]

you have good technical expertise but i m sorry to say the sound is horrible.I dont know maybe you need a different instrument.

[@richardamoroso_violin]

Thank you your comment. This is not my instrument. This is a violin from the Gatchell collection that I was using. I’m sorry that you find this violin to be lacking a good sound.

[@nickyork8901]

I thought the sound was very good - the violin is particularly clear, with a slight edginess to the tone, some people don't like that but I do, and it suits this excerpt. What instrument is it, by the way?

[@richardamoroso_violin]

@@nickyork8901 I agree Nicky! This violin was made by Pedrazzini. It's one of two Pedrazzinis from the Gatchell Collection. This violin is super clear and crazy fast/responsive! That's why I used it for this excerpt. Thanks for your comment! - Richard 🎻
