G String - Guarneri E String - Strad

[@ChrisEbbrsen]

Thank you Mr. Russ! Open C bouts and Guinea pig f holes and imprecise purffling! Right! Got it excellant! Those are the hallmarks of Guarnieri violin. I agree I cannot judge by one instrument, still am fastenated! Mr. Russ! , could you do a show of how to inlay a piece of ivory into tailpiece slot? Very currious to try this on my student violin. I would hope that this would add incisiveness to the tone but could be wrong. Your thoughts welcomed on this subject. Sincerely chris in usa.april 30, 2024. THANKS!😅😅

[@richardwebb2348]

A 'copy' of the shape of the body only. The sound of the instruments would be unrecognizable to Guarneri - his instruments have all been 'modernised': longer neck at increased angle, larger bass bar, metal strings, modern bridge, and played with a modern Tourte bow - the sound therefore is completely different compared to the original set-up, lower pitch, and gut strings etc.

[@jackwilloughby239]

Maybe you could explore the differences between their respective violas? Paganini had a Guarneri violin, but preferred the Stradivari viola if my memory serves me correctly.

[@Justutube190]

My passion is for what sounds bring emotions. Thank you for some help with perfection.

[@ronaldmartin2065]

I couldn't watch the video in its' entirity due to the echo in the room you made the video in! Cary bad audio!! You might try tis in a very small room with carpet and lo0ts of furniture. This will not produce any echo!

[@Justutube190]

How far must we go for the truth? Are we mirrorly lost in looms? Or is sound to lead us blind? What is or what was?

[@terryvaughn3179]

I like Guarneri mostly the nice G string boldness but i have an early 20th century Stradivari copy....it's ok but still working on its lack of presence....some Strads have a great G stringe also..thanks for the comparison videos...i learn so much from you!

[@EdgarRuss]

Thanks Terry!

[@joahimsolamenah5745]

Strad have a brillant sound , guarneri very deep sound

[@Patry12311]

Sería muy bueno que lo subtitulada en español latino

[@EdgarRuss]

Dear Patricia, I have no idea how I can get this done. I am better in violinmaking. I will inform myself regarding this matter. Promise! ER

[@laurencelebeustclair6844]

how many Amati violins do you ever get asked to make

[@RAFITAESTRADITA]

They F holes of that Guarnery!!

[@tpistor]

Nice video, but ... Why wouldn't you show them side by side?!!!!

[@EdgarRuss]

That's something I wanted to publish later on when we hear them one next to another. 😉 ER

[@russcorbett3923]

Great video , as Always !! But ,,, what about Amati ?? Wasn't he before the others and helped to shape the violin ?? I might be wrong though ,,,, if I am , I apologise and thank you for All that you do to inform , teach and inspire us !!

[@EdgarRuss]

You are right Russ, but Guarneri and Stradivari are the most famous ones. Also sound wise they are even nowadays up to date. But I will sign me on my list AMATI. Good or good? All the best and thanks for your support always welcome and appreciated ER

[@sandyblond20]

Very fun video and the information being quite understanding and ability comprehend that Guarneri del Gesu when you actually measure his instruments in the mm way there exists really great accuracy, but you have business to conduct. Great camera work for this video@!!!

[@EdgarRuss]

Thank you very much! all the best ER

[@ario7965]

Hi Edgar, what makes today's master violin makers copy Guarneri, Stradivari, and Montagnana? I mean, how come after so many years, still we haven't found any other design that may sound more desirable than those old designs?

[@EdgarRuss]

Hello, thanks for your question. It could be a great topic for a new video! Stay tuned!

[@hasanmohammad3589]

Thank you for such an informative video. What About the difference in other measurements? Also what about the sound?

[@EdgarRuss]

a Sound comparison video between Guarneri and Stradivari will be made soon and by next year (in already less than 2 months) it will be online. Thanks for your interest ER

[@beesneeder3334]

Always great informative videos! Thanks!

[@EdgarRuss]

Thank you so much! all the best ER

[@leovillarreal6276]

I wanna replace my violins ebony fitting with bogaroandclemente pernambuco fitting. I would like to know your thoughts

[@EdgarRuss]

Dear Leonel, Sounds interesting but very likely the difference will not be as dramatic as if you would switch to a boxwood fitting since it is much lighter. But who knows you love the pernambuco. Let me/us know ER

[@leovillarreal6276]

Thank you !

[@TheHappynot]

A guinea pig ahaha. I can not Un see that now. His later models from 1744/45 are pretty odd looking.

[@JacquesLuu]

wow beautiful instrument, how much does it cost ?

[@EdgarRuss]

Dear Jacques Luu, send me an eMail and I will forward you my latest pricelist. or 🛒 Visit my ONLINE SHOP: @t all the best ER

[@joshuam2154]

Thanks for the knowledgeable contrast. Cant wait to see you here in Cali @ NAMM 2020!

[@arwo1143]

Guarneri wasn’t old..... He died at 46 Stradivari was over 90

[@edwardgeorge2245]

Sorry Mr. Russ Love your educational videos but the echo hurts my ears

[@tommierichardson9070]

Love your vids, so informative

[@EdgarRuss]

Hi Tommie, thanks for the comment, I appreciate it 😉

[@joahimsolamenah5745]

Guarneri Sainton model

[@EdgarRuss]

👌🏼

[@bluehoo0]

Thank you for the information. Does the variation in body length effect the sound?

[@EdgarRuss]

Yes I think so! I would rather make it shorter than longer in order to get a better sound. Same is valid for cello. ER

[@carpetbrown1115]

@@EdgarRuss is that why I find quite a few guaneri copies with lengths like 352mm? While smaller violins tend to have a powerful sound, is it the case that larger instruments have more overtones and more sweetness, especially to E string? It seems like luthiers nowadays want the violin to sound loud and not really focusing on the sweetness of sound?

[@МартинТиракян-ь9д]

Copy of Guarnerius

[@EdgarRuss]

Correct!

[@andyrenshaw9148]

Thank you so much - that answers a lot of questions that always eluded me :) and thank you to your daughter for the suggestion - smart girl :)

[@gabriel1chan]

The sound of the Guarneri?

[@EdgarRuss]

As soon I have a good musician here who is willing to be online here on my channel. Would actually be great to listen to the violin as well, you are right. Sorry I am only a maker and not a musician. ER

[@carmelohugopedace4299]

En Argentina hay un tango que dice " mirando con la ñata (nariz) contra el vidrio" Así miramos sus productos desde mi país. Es que sus precios en Euros es solo para una clase adinerada. No he visto tampoco planes de pago. Igualmente. Gracias.

[@EdgarRuss]

Dear Camelo, I would love to know that everyone in the world could afford to own at least one of my instruments. I am very sorry, but I am born here in Europe and here working and paying bills and taxes to run a shop as honest as possible makes things so expensive. Anyhow all the best to all of my friends in Argentina. Grazie ER

[@mecanictransmision]

Vivis en un pais q todo es gratis incluso para extranjeros, entonces todo es malo feo y CARO. O sea comprate un violincito chino y empeza a votar a los q no son ladrones. Osea jodete y deja de llorisquear como si fueras victima, es tu culpa

[@carmelohugopedace4299]

Parece mentira que sin motivos me respondas con tanta grosería y mala intención, No quiero faltarte el respeto, porque me pondría a tu altura. Te diré que tengo 75 años de edad, soy médico jubilado en actividad, y a pesar que nací en la década del primer peronismo, jamás gasté un voto en ellos. He votado a Macri para ver el cambio y sin embargo también se ha equivocado. Soy de una generación muy golpeada entre militares corruptos y peronistas ladrones- Pero sabes qué??? yo y muchos más no tenemos la culpa de ello, y tampoco reniego de mi país. Tampoco lloriqueo, simplemente si Edgar tuviera planes de pago en cuotas, seguramente podría comprarlo. Tampoco dije que sus productoa sean malos o feos, simplemente que no puedo pagarlo al contado. MT: Te compadezco por tu soberbia e ignorancia. La grandeza de Argentina al tener educación y salud gratuita para todos en sus hospitales y unversidades, no condice con el desagradecimiento de los que usufructúan esos derechos y sin embargo no lo agradecen. . Pero eso no es culpa del que da con el corazón sino del que recibe con vileza y desagradecimiento.

[@mecanictransmision]

@@carmelohugopedace4299 ...perdon Carmelo. Veo q fui agresivo y resentido en la redacción. Tengo 52 y estoy viendo como irme del país. Sin esperanzas, yo si lloriqueo. Saludos y disculpas.

[@EdgarRuss]

I am running here a Free channel to teach to all of you. What is your problem? I believe I cannot solve that for you. all the best ER

[@Samlaren]

That del Gesu is gorgeus! How many violins have you made in your life to become sthis skilled?

[@EdgarRuss]

Dear Sam, Its already for a while that I didn't count anymore. Maybe 400 instruments; maybe even more. In the past 10 years I slowed down and I focus more on certain details while the first 25 years of my making I speeded up. Booth ways are necessary to have a certain ability. all the best ER

[@Samlaren]

Amazing! It really shows!
