His STRADIVARIUS was once 3 different fiddles! Alexi Kenney explains...

[@vendelius]

Bravo!

[@schatzdaniel]

He would sound great on a carton box fiddle and dental floss strings

Fritz Kreisler started on a cigar box strung with shoestrings.

@@robotnik77 I’m reading your comment, while my son is practicing Kreisler in the next room.

You can only do dendro on the spruce top; but - you can match the curl of the maple back to related instruments. This instrument sounds too subdued for the concert hall, unless it can be adjusted, but I don't think there would be much improvement. I just heard (on YT) a copy of the King Joseph that sounds amazing. I wish I were in the market for a fiddle, because it would be that one. There was also a mass market violin that a young man played on YT that had as much voice and sound quality as any great violin I've ever heard. I wish I could find that vid again.

[@masumirostad]

Interesting point. Yes, the dendrochronology is…complicated!

[@SteveAbrahall]

Whats the name of the work Alex plays at the end? (It sounds amazing BTW!)

[@jonhh6918]

Largo movement from the Bach’s Sonatas and Partitas

[@rodrigomoraes2305]

A guarneri scroll + strad top and botton? Oh my... What's the name of it?

[@vincentiusnugator8842]

Had either of you read Frankenstein-which, clearly, you have not-you would have known that Frankenstein is not the monster but the maker; or in your analogies: not the violin but Mr. Reuning. (Musicians and literature... Oye.)

[@masumirostad]

🤣

[@TuanHoang-hb2id]

I always love the sound of his German violin , so I doubt about this instrument would be a wise choice 😮😅, best luck to him

[@robotnik77]

Yeah, we all know that. 🙂

[@talesfromthequick]

This one gets good publicity, but I think the Greiner sounds better, at least from the times I’ve heard him

[@thummumcrysanth]

Fiddles? Bad title.

[@michaelavillarreal]

The title is obviously in jest. You must be fun at parties
