    These violins are so powerful. Sure the recording doesn't do them justice. They must sound mind melting. I can imagine them the whole upper body will vibrate while playing them. Poor me playing my cheap violin, haha.

    I loved watching these two. They know what they’re doing.
    I think I favor the Gypsy violin. I’d love to hear her play some Gypsy jazz on it.

    I love her testing repertoire; which demonstrates different attributes of the instruments. The Master Violin Maker has played a few more hours comparing those works of art, but he seems to fuse with The New Masterpiece! (Thanks, that was fun:)

    I believe that the newest violin has more complexity of sound. The Gypsy is more powerful and bold. And the tango is more tender. Had i the option, I would have selected the newer violin. It would be more versatile and would blend better.

    • @kevinleeluthier
      @kevinleeluthier  Год назад +5

      You have made my day. They are exactly that way in person. I'm thrilled that you could tell with this recording/video. Thank you so much for letting me know.

      ​@@kevinleeluthierесли судить по звуку, то звук грубый, а это всегда когда тонкая верхняя дека и нет точности в резонансе между струной и декой. Звук где-то гасится, а где-то выделяется и получилось что-то очень неплохое, но совсем не классное, особенно это заметно на высоких нотах.

  • @sebastianbucur5135
    @sebastianbucur5135 Год назад +3

    I'm blown away by the sound of the violins. The quality of the sound is beyond Stradivarius - let's be honest. I wished you showed off the new violin because the design, the varnish is rare brill!

    To my ear, that Gypsy one is one of the best I ever heard. Well done. Generally I like the more subdued sound like what I achieve when I put a practice mute on my el cheapo one that sounds like someone put strings on a cigar box.😊

    • @kevinleeluthier
      @kevinleeluthier  Год назад +2

      For solo work in a large concert hall, the Gypsy violin is beyond belief (tone and volume), if I do say so myself. :) The nice thing is that everyone else who has heard it, says that also. I have recordings and comparisons, yet haven't got the "release" of rights yet. Hopefully soon!

    • @nickiemcnichols5397
      @nickiemcnichols5397 Месяц назад

      I agree. I hate playing my student violin with a practice mute. It does sound like someone put metal strings on a cardboard box.

    I like the Gypsy violin but without any design on the back and with a much much much darker varnish.

    Great video! The voice of each violin was evident. If I may ask a question? What was the brand of string used on these violins? Was the same brand used on each violin or was the brand chosen to work best with the violin?

    • @kevinleeluthier
      @kevinleeluthier  Год назад +1

      All three violins have identical strings: Evah Pirazzi G,D,A and Piastro Wondertone Gold E's. This set was chosen because it seems to be the most popular quality standard for the last 10-15 years. Thanks for asking!

    • @johncebasek6252
      @johncebasek6252 Год назад +2

      @@kevinleeluthier Thank you for the information. I'm using Evah Pirazzi Gold - with the gold G as those were the 'luthier installed' strings. Watching some videos on violins, they never seem to make mention of the strings or the bow for that matter and don't you think that all the parts have to work together? (Not that I'm in the market for a $70K bow - especially with MY playing). But I can put that combination of strings on my violin and see how my violin reacts. Can't hurt can it?

    • @user-mk4nr9te7p
      @user-mk4nr9te7p 10 месяцев назад

      Можно проверить скрипку. Настройте все струны на 1 тон ниже и если скрипка не потеряла звук, тогда можно будет сказать у вас всё в порядке.

    The Tangle seems to be made out of a much much "superior" spruce with much tighter grains, but I don't like the sound of it as much as gypsy.
