Violin MYTH BUSTER - if you play the violin you have to know

[@mikeconcino4022]

I purchased my instrument from Edgar many months ago and couldn't be happier. I love it.

Thank you for your nice comment! Edgar

Great video Edgar. I am sitting in New Zealand on the other end of the world and then I hear you saying that you also ship violins to New Zealand. That's brilliant!

You many excellent points Edgar, playing the violin is journey and a quest, not a simple destination. Most significan point (I think) is the cooperative PARTNERSHIP between the violin and the player. In my case, the variability in sound is usually due to changes in my ability to play well (usually the bowing hand) . If my bowing hand is too far off the mark, it can pull notes out of tune, which makes me question my left hand as well. Sometimes I can power throught that and get it together, but other times I need to just clean the violin, wipe off the bow and put it away until later when I can try again.

Don't need luck when you go to Sound of Cremona and their team of maniacs. Now I can stop worrying about the instrument and concentrate on improving my ability as a musician. Thank you ❤

Of all your superb and excellent videos, this one stands out as the most educational, the most elucidating regarding what can't be seen, the most revealing as to the real craft of the sainted souls who take up this vocation. Thank you. Probably because it the latest, but this one was a doozie!! Sean

Thanks Sean! Cristina helps me to make these videos better and better. All the best from Cremona Edgar

Except for some subtle differences in wood grain, and the color, they all look the same to me.

Does anyone know if all the Becker Luthiers here (I’m by Chicago) are related? I was told recently to take one of my violins for restoration to one of them.

All of it is true, but if only bats can hear it who cares LOL

Cracking jokes huh... The video editing was amusing in this...

[@umiviolalefut1593]

You made setting up the sound post look so easy... I'm getting better at fishing out when I drop it...

Exercise make the Master! All the best Edgar
