  • In the middle of making "The Gypsy" violin, I was asked to do an advertisement for the State Bank of Southern Utah . They are nice, helpful people, so I replied, "Of course." Then, after it was all done, I realized that it was for me. ....Thanks.

    I just discovered your videos and your work on You Tube. I am an adult beginner violin student (just started 2 months ago) and I appreciate your videos and your wit as well as the BEAUTIFUL violins you make. I may never afford one, but certainly appreciate your vision and attention to detail. Thanks!

    I have always loved the sound/voice of the violin but sadly never decided to try and learn more and actually buy 1 until now. Better late than never. I'm 69 and have the time and desire now. Love your videos and looking forward to getting the books. Thank you

    Hello Kevin
    I am am artist, a painter a violinist
    Very glad to see your violin
    In my point of view violin is a such an instrument in which in every points art is there & I think you understand it well. That's why your violins are not only violin but also a piece of art work. Many congratulations and best wishes to you.

      @@ranjeetbanerjee3561Thank you so much for the compliment. I love simple, as well as the embellished instruments and am thrilled, especially when an artist appreciates the final product. Sorry it has taken me so long to respond. I'm in a neck brace after my spine surgery and I don't seem to get to everything that I should.

    I'm curious, where did you learn how to make violins? I'm guessing somewhere in Italy, probably Cremona?

    • @kevinleeluthier
      @kevinleeluthier  8 лет назад +4

      +The Turbanator I have visited and learned from many of the makers in Cremona, Italy (as well as many others around the world), though most makers simply wanted to teach me how to make copies (just like the violin school of America that I attended). So, in the end, while I have learned from everywhere that I can, most of my learning has been from the instruments of the old masters, themselves.

    For the stupid question department..... You obviously make beautiful violins. Do you also make violas?

      I do. (please visit kevinleeluthier.com)
      A violin starts around $35,000.00 US. There are no limits, and I apologize that there is a considerable waiting list.

    Ok, let’s be honest
    What is dragons blood?
    A special trees resin, real blood from some kind of creature?

    • @kevinleeluthier
      @kevinleeluthier  4 года назад +1

      True dragon's blood comes from the legendary Dragon Tree (there are many species of dragon trees, yet the ones that look like dragons and take over a thousand years to mature are the "real" ones). Their sap flows like blood and the very best blood is hundreds of years old and comes from the black forest.
