Thank you very much! I just have answered a "hater" comment where someone told me that I am a want to be Liuthier. So your comment just arrives in moment where I get the confirmation that we are here in a very hard to decide subject.

Thank you for your comment all the best from Cremona Edgar
@@EdgarRuss I imagine the haters also told Stradivarius his violins are sub-par. Never listen to the haters. There are just mean people in this world whose hearts are filled with hate. I absolutely LOVE your helpful videos and if I had the money, would by one of your violins in a heartbeat. I am new to violin so you are an inspiration to me! Keep up the excellent work!
Very lovely sounding (and looking) violins, Edgar. You should be (I'm sure you are) proud and content in your violins. You definitely chose the right profession, at least for those fortunate enough to acquire one of your wonders. Who knows, in perhaps a century or three from now your name might come to mean what a Guarneri name or Stradivarious name means to us. I think that your violins will stand the test of time and be sought out long after we are all gone. You might be then, gone, but as I said, not forgotten. Keep up the good work. - Mark from Australia.
Wow your first fiddle sounds fantastic, well balanced, lovely tone❤ so clear! Second fiddle also different, but very sizzler on top 2 strings!scrolls also very beautiful!
That was fantastic. I like the lo fi casual treatment too, with such awesome new violins, and an incredible violinist. Would have liked a to hear a little more of the Pietro violin, as from what little I hear didn't sound all that great. Even new, yours sounded much better to my ear.
You can see that for him the Guarneri has way more ease of playing and a way more complex sound, as well as dynamic range. But the fact that your instrument is already comparable is quite something already I would say.
Wow. Those are beautiful and impressive. I thought yours were better than the original. They seemed to me to have much bolder volume. Just absolutely incredible works of art.
It is a well treated room, but having at least a usb mic like Apogee overhead violin would make possible to judge the timbre. Other than that we see that your copy is very responsive instrument. All the best from Kazan, Republic of Tatarstan, Russia.
The violins I liked, the player I'm not sure, not an expert here but sounded messy. Maybe was the piece he selected. He should've played something more melodic and recognizeable to be able to compare
35k U$ now in 2021 and prices go up every year around 6 to 7% So I think a very reasonable price for a very high quality instrument with the best origin guarantee you can imagine! No antique instrument can be purchased the same safe way!!!!!!! Looking forward to hearing from you soon! All the best from Cremona Edgar
I had the good fortune to play a 2001 Strad (~20k usd) by Edgar (possibly a linea macchi) two to three days ago out here in LA (@ Morey’s in Lakewood) while killing time waiting for some sheet music. As expected, that violin sounds different tonally to the Guarneri here (sweet round sound, polished, very responsive, and just effortlessly clean). It really speaks to the quality of craftsmanship at Edgar’s shop. It was my first time playing one of Edgar’s violins, despite being a long fan of his adjustment videos, and my expectations were not only met but also exceeded. So if you can’t get a new one from Edgar, perhaps a similar path (finding an existing one that is sonically similar) or from his workshop could also be an alternative.
Even compared to Guarneri I think your fiddles hold up well. I think any serious violinist would be pleased with them. I’d have to be in the room to know 100%, but I can’t say yours are inferior.
I have no idea what you mean with primitive. I enjoyed the time with him. Meet him every year beginning of summer during the Bled Festival in Slovenia.

@@ghlscitel6714 While it's obvious that he is a very accomplished player he is rather showing off than trying to get out the best of every violin. First because of the choice of the piece, full of virtuoso stuff, double stops, left hand pizz but non melodic material to hear the tone and the color of the four strings slowly, up and down in every register and if possible in tune, and secondly because of they careless, sloppy and unmusical way he is playing the Ernst.
@@ludwigsaintj7209 Well you have a point. However judging the acoustic spectrum over an iPhone microphone sounds quite adventourous to me. Are you sure it is feasible? I could not hear much difference between the instruments concerning the tone quality but I believe Sandor who had his ears close to the instruments that his judgement was honest. On the other hand, getting an idea of the quality of the instrument while treating it under extreme conditions helps understanding it's responsivness in silent and loud passages even in artificial flagolet conditions. I learned that the violin is a reliable partner for every orchestra violinist, even for the soloist. By the Way, I do not understand the metaphor "...he is playing the Ernst". Can you explain?
@@ghlscitel6714 the player is playing the last rose of summer by Ernst, and later Ysaye sonata 3. Both pieces are definitely on the upper (close to highest) end of the difficulty spectrum.

@@cafebingtea You name it very well! When I tuned on the live transmission I didn't even know what Sandor Jarvokai is going to play. Whether which violin and what he will play. I agree very much that this kind of music is to show off but I also have to admit that I liked it since it isn't a super serious comparing. Showing off is also good, sometimes.

Screaming violins, unfortunately, both, but Guarneri original , the least. What instruments are violinists fed today with? Tinnitus promoting units unfortunately, and Cremona as an institution should take the blame. Somewhere towards the beginning of the industrial revolution violin makers messed up, and it has just propagated to modern times exponentially. Hard screaming E-strings is the GIANT elephant in the room, and he is about 200 years old now.

The third violin is very good,gold sound colors,
Unbelievable playing.
great to hear that you like it also.

Talented violinist playing on a beautifully made instrument.
Cell phone mics r so good....that was very good.
Awesome! Thanks!✌️🌞😎🎻
You are welcome!

Sandor is awesome!
Edgar's violin sounds (to my ear) just as good as the original Guarneri.
I like the varnish on the very old one.
Interesting how shouty the first one was compared with the second.
Enjoyed watching that,thankyou.
Great !!!

Please specify the string set, you are using on the violins you make.
The reasons why you choose them.
Is that a Coda bow?
Maravilhoso som parabéns ....tenho um Francês....muito antigo ....muito bom.....e um Germany muito antigos.
Que jogo de cordas vc está usando ?
Guarneri !!! Bravissimo

Wow sounds amazing he plays amazing
I agree!
He is a fantastic musician!
Yes, my ears crumbled too.
Wow. Those are beautiful and impressive. I thought yours were better than the original. They seemed to me to have much bolder volume. Just absolutely incredible works of art.
Interesting. I assume you must be sure the bridge is in the correct location prior to adjusting the soundpost's relation to the bridge feet.

Yeah it was pretty rough, but it is one of the actually hardest pieces in violin repertoire so
Quem sabe um dia terei uma obra de arte sua, um Guarneri 1744
