what strad model is this cello?

I can only fantasize about playing well enough to deserve this fiddle.

What is the piece played at 5:58 ? So beautiful

Recently I bought Alice 747 set of string with 1/37 price of Larsen Gold Il canone strings, I can say the sound quality is not bad at all and it is very good regarding many other strings I have tried. I think the price of strings generally are high and the minor difference in sound( If there is any difference) is not justifiable. I think as they lost the market of instrument making , unfortunately, they will lose the string market sooner or later with these prices.

That is one of the very best sounding new instruments I have ever heard.

An otherwise wonderful violin I owned had a very irritating wolf note on the D string. The C (natural) you would use the fourth finger for in third position. It did precisely the same thing at the same pitch on the G string. And if you see some videos of world class players acquainting themselves with Del Gesu violins (coincidentally this was a Del Gesu copy), they hit the very same wolf note. At least on the G string I could modify finger pressure, bow position and vibrato speed and width to mitigate it but absolutely nothing worked whatsoever for the D string. The best outcome I could achieve was experimenting with string types and tensions till I found one that mitigated it as much as possible. From memory it was a Silver wound Oliv D of one tension below normal (impossible to buy in here in Australia to make matters worse!). Luckily, the (normal) Olivs and a steel Aricore A had been my "go to" strings for years so the change was not dramatic. But when you play an instrument with absolutely no wolf notes it is a real breath of fresh air even if it does not sound as great as one with wolf notes. That said, many otherwise great instruments have at least one "weak" note which depending on severity might fall into the definition of a mild "low end" wolf note (or worse obviously). In my experience it tended to be much older instruments or brand new ones that are most affected by this undesirable character trait.

The first violin in the first version is identical to the second violin in the blind version.

I agree, I love the sound of the second violin the most

Disagreed with the host, the 2nd one (2003) is the best of the 3. Not the 3rd one.

Violins made from Similar Guarneri models. So Different models made by different makers ..That`s a big difference then . Try a video with three makers on the exact same model . Or Three Different models made by the same maker .Do you see where I`m going ? Reducing confusion .

What we need is a violin sound that comes out best on a laptop .So Number 2 for me . But is that fair ? I don`t know .

Beautiful, dark, robust tone. Good projection and much besides. I really like it.

Where can i buy it?

To my ears the Guarniery del Gesu sounds better than the Stradiarius violin. It has a much broad spectrum of frequencies that is more balanced. The Strads have a higher frequency spectrum bias. At least to my ears. All the instruments that you played sounded awesome though.

I like so much this piece. Beautiful performance!!!

sounds very deep, i like it. So how much is it

Hello! please, i´d like to know what is the silver piece in the fingerboard...?? Thanks!!

I love it when makers travel the road less travelled. Everyone wants to copy a Strad or Del Gesu and at most add small personal touches as variations to a theme. To me, some of the most beautiful instruments (from a craftsmanship and aesthetics point of view) came from other makers.

I can tell that this instrument is quite responsive, especially for a "new" one.

Beautiful sound - deep, dark and resonant. Seems to have good projection too.

Sounds great, nice g....

Innovative certainly and the 1st of its kind I have come across. The Ultralight has a beautiful inviting sound throughout.My violin's E string height is a shade below 3mm, probably in part due to weather- l prefer 3.5mm. In Lahore so far, I haven't found a reliable luthier to make the requisite adjustments- Ultralight could be the answer. In your opinion, how does its sound compare with traditional violins in the same price range? Can you try different chinrests?

A Strad is a Strad but my favourite is the 1st one. It has a compelling individual sound and rich overtones- really good projection as well. The G string seems resonant and almost imposing at times, which adds another dimension to its character. It's possible though, that if I play myself or hear them live, opinion might alter. Your playing brings out the different attributes of the violins nicely. Enjoyable experience.

1) Strad 2) Grancino 3) Vuillaume 1 4) Vuillaume 2 Excellent recording, thank you! Have you tried to put Gold wounded G and D also on this Strad?

Excellent presentation and explanations (except for the bit about carbon fibre bows)

Carbon fiber bows can actually produce more "depth of sound" than pernambuco bows (2:09). It is really only a question of technology and quality. Pernambuco is not only know for being the most widespread used materials to make bows thus far, but also for being a highly endangered species with only about 5% of the original population still existing. Since being put on the Cites list of endangered species in 2007 it was and still is poached and smuggled in quantity and documents are forged. This has led to raids of bow makers and dealers in Brazil in 2022 and led to the destruction of tons of illegal wood and allegedly 150.000 illegal sticks and bows. In 2023 Brazil has banned all exports of Pernambuco. At the Cites conference in 2025 Pernambuco will most probably be put on Appendix 1 which will prohibit all future travel and trade.

Hi, what strings are you using on this violin? Thanks

The golden age of violin making has returned 🙏🏿

Wow! I’m afraid to ask how much it costs.

Well I am not hearing any Del Gesu character in it but it sounds very nice and has quite a unique tone for a new instrument. Sounds more Storioni than Del Gesu (which is still a very high complement of course and I love the instruments of both makers).

Its wonderful to see contemporary violins now receiving a higher place (deservedly)….👏👏👏👏

What a lovely violin, and well played too. It’s incredible what the modern builders can do.

For me: 1. Strad (lower register is awesome), 2. Vuillaume 1, 3. Vuillaume 2, 4. Grancino

I like the Tibor Kovacs bow best of the three.

i think it was not Isaac Stern , but Elma Oliveira , who used to have Curtin and Alf violin. But anyway I enjoyed your video.

can you do one octave scale on each string just to give a better idea about all 4 strings?

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Solo violin is not for me. I dont really like the pierceness

Wow

I wish I could be around to see what these perfectly mint, pristine violins will look like in 300 years time. It seems most makers these days like to produce (very pleasingly to me) "aged" instruments right from their birth - so violins such as these two today seem to be less often seen - at least by me (if not less often produced).

nice!

This is by far the best recording of violins I've ever heard on RUclips. You can hear the character and power of each instrument, and actually tell them apart. Countless times I've watched comparisons of violins and strings, and they all sound alike, all poor examples of what the violin sounds like due to cheesy recording equipment or technique.

That’s very fine playing! How come violin shops have sooooo many violins?
