Tim Wright Fine Violins: Two violins by James Briggs
In today's video, we compare two violins by the superb Glasgow maker James Briggs. The violins were made in 1922 and 1929 and they are brilliant copies of Guadagnini and Pressenda respectively.
Tim explores to what extent Briggs made the instruments to deceive, and of course we compare their sound as well! It's fascinating to study two such different instruments by the same maker: let us know your thoughts in the comments.
