Even though it's just a youtube video; I FEEL his love for violins. Bravo; the world needs more people like this.

[@AzuliManni]

That did not feel nine minutes long. Such passion, that is true inspiration.

[@fredlifsitz7411]

Beautiful instruments and they sound gorgeous! Modern day Strads are the way to go!

[@rosssoutherland8118]

I wonder if there’s anyone (on his scale) that uses old tools & techniques? (No electric Ban Saw) Not to take away from this guy because I applaud 👏🏻him greatly! 🙏🏻❤️

[@patriciajrs46]

Congratulations to him on winning in Cremona. Truly an accomplishment. They are very pretty and sound quite nice.

[@hollyrichiemusic]

If I could only ever have one of the violins he crafted.... What a dream

[@stephanebelizaire3627]

BRAVO !

[@elnetini]

Yeah, excellent vid. Thanks for sharing.

[@emmastyles5666]

this is the first time i have ever been truly mesmerized, this is true beauty

[@Coolcat607]

love it. this was wonderful to watch

[@twoblink]

Ester Samuels My violin teacher actually went to live in Italy for 2 years to learn how to make violins. There were things he showed me, like a few particular angles that you just can't do with a machine; that can only be done with a hand. My first violin was a Suzuki machine made; and it was HEAVY. I would say the wood was probably 2 ~ 3 times thicker than a hand made one. Machines can't make the wood that thin.

[@patriciajrs46]

You are right. Human touch. Human and the wood, a bond is formed. A machine can't do that.

[@roccatp]

fantastic violinist !!!

[@momoblue09]

it's really beautiful ...

[@MrFamiliarochalp]

Collin Whitlock, that piece at 1:45 is bach violin sonata 1 in g minor.

[@wishfull9036]

David Burgess also won the Cremona competition and later served as a judge.

[@Chethejet1]

I wish that the dear cello was as loved as the violin.

[@acolytes777]

+Peter Kim I love all three instruments.... The viola and the cello express as much emotion as the violin. The double bass.... not so much

[@Angel-xf2lc]

+acolytes777 yea

[@TRISCORE]

your not alone

[@littlekiwi9724]

acolytes777 - I think you need to look up Bozo Paradzik on KZbin: double bass is no longer the ugly sister musically.

[@chriss1152]

very good job he is doing

[@DyLimbo]

This so oddly satisfying to watch.

[@fireviper7]

@daniel0731ex its the August Rush Rapsody

[@stradplayer614]

Great!

Música clássica amo ouvindo Brasil fevereiro 2021

[@siklopz]

not only that, but the age of the wood and some even believe the act of playing an instrument changes the quality of the sound. that's why so many great players want vintage instruments. new luthiers can't compete with 400 year seasoned and played-in wood.

[@VeePull]

Respect to Gusset!

[@TTopRecords]

Amazing

[@coni.fiddler]

Muchas Gracias! ;)

[@dimast007]

@Davinp123 'Tuba Mirum' from the Requiem of Verdi

[@popitoto]

The violin played at 2.20 min it was just new..?It's a little bit nasal if i may say...

[@adaleona2319]

popi toto I know this is old...but...this may be due to the fact they muffled the sound for camera purposes. I don't know, but that doesn't sound like a normal violin to me. It sounds like the sound was dampened somehow.

[@petarradivojevic7567]

What is piece on start of the video?

[@firefox8192]

[@codyhang9645]

2009 dang

[@Edward8855]

All this talk about violin makers and the wood used are over dramatization and sales talk to beef up the price of old violins. Not one of them talks about the strings. Cheap violins can sound very good with good expensive strings fitted to them and any Stradivarius will sound shit with bad or cheap strings fitted to them. I play violin and has found out from experience that the sound has more to do with strings than with the violin. When you get a violin, it is an art to fit it out with the right strings. Sometimes each string might be from a different brand of strings to get the sound you want. I saw a video of a guy who made a violin from wood that he took off a pallet and it sounds better than most violins I heard. So, all this violin talk is romantic and all that but just talk. I am a mechanical engineer and toolmaker and can assure you that any violin made by CNC machines are better made and more accurately made according to specifications than any handmade violin. Violin making was for hundreds of years a racket that ripped off the public to pay big money for just ordinary violins. The same in art. How can one painting that the artist could not sell in his lifetime because it was so bad, be so good a piece of art today that it sells for 40 or 50 million dollars? We are being played.

[@retaz4188]

2:14 sibelius yeah !

[@peterCheater]

@daniel0731ex exactly where i heard it from too XD

[@shaggybeast3912]

I rent my violin from him

[@Miragemp5]

[@HIMADESU223]

bach partita no 3 in e major

[@eutytoalba]

"He's the only American to win" ......out of how many Americans who've entered??

[@Brembelia]

It's not that we don't want these, we just can't afford them. Who wouldn't want one of his violins? But what are the chances when we are just scraping by ourselves. Too bad he didn't have a lay-away or installment plan.

[@Mortison77577]

Why can't they make great ones by machine?

[@Mortison77577]

I bet they could make violins as good as these on machines if they knew what they were doing.

[@Daftbananana]

well, maybe once they've been hanging up there for 300 years maybe they'll be wanted XD Its like the life of an artist. They barely make enough money while they're alive and then their work sells for millions once they are gone ;S

[@PaperGrape]

'little more than a carefully crafted wooden box...' siiiiigh**

[@peterCheater]

@daniel0731ex Wieniawski polonaise no. 2

[@siklopz]

it's unfortunate to see just how many violins hang in his shop. at two months apiece, it looks like at least three years of work or more. top players usually want vintage instruments, while the young and adventurous buy indestructible carbon fiber or electric violins, and new ones buy cheap import starters. most of today's best luthiers scrape by for love of the work.

[@JamesDavidWalley]

It seems that Gusset makes fine instruments, but "the violin hasn’t changed in 400 years"…? Four hundred years ago, what were being produced were *baroque violins*, with a completely different neck shape/angle, and different thicknesses throughout. In fact, even those multimillion-dollar Stradivari, Amati, and Guarneri violins were originally baroque violins, and had to be thoroughly disassembled, modified, and rebuilt by later craftsmen to turn them into the modern-design instruments they are today. (Which leads to another point: Stradivari wasn’t a "Renaissance master," as he lived in the baroque period, a century after the Renaissance ended. Had he been around in the Renaissance, he would have built viols, the standard bowed-string instruments of the time, not the violins that came in a later era.

[@violinmaker4271]

Many violins were made during the renaissance, and 99 percent of the violins design remains the same today.

[@Mortison77577]

Yeah, two months? How about two hours?

[@adaleona2319]

Ester Samuels I know this comment is so old, but I must say this. A machine does not have emotions, it doesn't have the ability to make mistakes. It's made to have everything to be absolutely perfect. If there was no emotion put into these instruments and mistakes weren't made, then that instrument wouldn't be as beautiful as one made by hand. A craft that no machine can come close to matching. Also...why would you want to have machines take place of luthiers? I mean, I would (and many others would agree) say that luthiers joined into the luthiere business because they loved the instrument of creation and admired it's beauty...why take that away from them with cold, emotionless machines?

[@manifestgtr]

datzfast it's obvious that you have no real appreciation for musical instruments and the thousands of years of rich history dedicated to their evolution...I mean yeah, some of this dudes mumbojumbo is a little off-putting but if everyone thought in terms of "factory quality control", the soul of our instruments would be a thing of the past
