Exploring the Andrea Guarneri Model Viola – Rich Sound & Unique Craftsmanship
Welcome to my workshop in Cremona! In this video, I’m thrilled to introduce the Andrea Guarneri model viola I recently crafted.

The viola's body length of 41.6 cm is a perfect balance, providing comfort and sound projection for violists of all levels. Join us as the talented violist Ilaria Armanti performs Bach’s Suite No. 1, allowing us to experience ...

King was owned by Zlatko Baloković who left it in his last will to Croatian academy of science and arts. King is very very rarely played

    As good as it is while new, it can only get better with age. Although we can't be certain, Guarneri's instruments probably sounded the same as yours when themselves new. May I suggest you look into some of New Zealand's native timbers for instrument making and especially, fossilised Kauri gum for your varnish?

    the two instruments are almost identical in sound, I did not find anything individual in them, just improved factory-made sound sharpness is given by casein glue and varnish hardness. There is buzz and garbage in the sound. the sound of violins is not polished.and how they will sound after 300 hours of playing is an important question

      @MarcoOsioViolinmaker 4 месяца назад

      I personally use lactic casein as a protein-based sealer, but other types of proteins can work just as well. The choice of sealer often comes down to personal preference and the desired final effect on the instrument.

      Thanks for your questions! Check out my latest video on how I prepare the violin before varnishing. As for colored varnish, yes, it is available on the market, but many luthiers, including myself, prefer to prepare and mix our own pigments and dyes to achieve a more personalized and unique result.

    As you get to that final coat, do you increase the amount of alcohol to keep the brush flowing, or do you use an oil towards the end? I find that I need to rush in order for my shellac to not dry before I finish a pass with my brush or cloth.

    • @MarcoOsioViolinmaker
      @MarcoOsioViolinmaker 4 месяца назад

      Thanks for your question! For the final coat of varnish, I actually dilute it heavily with alcohol. This helps keep the brush flowing smoothly and allows for a more controlled and even application.

    • @MarcoOsioViolinmaker
      @MarcoOsioViolinmaker 7 месяцев назад

      Capisco il tuo dubbio ma questa verniciatura è effettivamente a base di alcol. La finitura liscia deriva dalla tecnica di applicazione, non dal tipo di vernice. Padroneggiare la tecnica può far sembrare una vernice ad alcol liscia come una vernice ad olio. Grazie per il tuo commento!

      @MarcoOsioViolinmaker 7 месяцев назад

      Thanks for the compliment! Indeed, it may look like oil because of the smooth finish, but the secret isn't just in the varnish recipe-it's all about the technique of application. Mastery in applying the varnish can make all the difference. Glad you liked it!

  • @PomahXomehko

    Marco Stradivarius used wood from 250 years old trees those trees are long gone and now under pressure luthiers are using 60 to 80 year old trees. There's an old saying that trees struck by lightning are good for making musical instruments because the resin has been dried out. I myself made a violin made of aluminium metal not the aluminium foil glued onto wood . At that time I was 15 and my violin won prizes for my school.

    Well, not meaning to be unkind but there was practically NIL discussion of the "role of f-holes." What would be REALLY interesting would be to craft tops with different sized and shaped f-holes and then record and perhaps frequency analyze the results.

    You said you were showing us how to varnish a violin. All you did was so us brush stokes. There is nothing here on how to. Where is the UV of the wood. The sealing of the wood. The mixing of the different varnishes. Anyone can show a finished product.

    • @MarcoOsioViolinmaker
      @MarcoOsioViolinmaker 8 месяцев назад

      Thank you for your feedback. While this video focused primarily on the application technique, I agree that the preparation of the wood, the UV treatment, and the mixing of varnishes are all critical elements. The application technique, however, is what I believe truly distinguishes a masterful finish-it's more about how the varnish is applied than just what is used. Each stroke is deliberate and precise, contributing significantly to the final result. I appreciate your perspective and will consider highlighting more of the process in future videos to provide a more comprehensive view!

    does the intensity and strength of each stroke affect the final sound?

    • @MarcoOsioViolinmaker
      @MarcoOsioViolinmaker 9 месяцев назад

      In my opinion, what really influences the sound is the thickness of the varnish. A coat that's too thick can dampen the violin's sound, while an overly thin layer might not only make the sound louder, but also somewhat coarse. The key is finding the right balance to enhance the natural qualities of the instrument.
