ONE OF THE PRETTIER SOUNDING MODERN VIOLINS. VERY EXCELLANT PLAYER, VERY EXCELLANT LUTIER! THANK THE BOTH OF YOU FOR HONING MY EARS! I WILL KEEP THE NAME LAPORT IN MY WISH LIST. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Of all the wonderful things you have done, this is my favorite. It’s a combination of all aspects of your channel: beautiful music, an outstanding violin, it’s proud maker, superb camera work and editing, and magical playing.
Wow, that's such a compliment, thank you so much! When I first played this instrument, I knew we had to make a series with Elizabeth. It's been so fun, and so worth it!
I'm not a violinist, but I really liked the tone of that violin. It wasn't screechy! The sound was deep, dark and interesting. I'm also sure Katha's talent brought the best out of it!
Beautiful playing Katha! I got my violin back from Elizabeth today, she did the most impressive admirable and beautiful work exceeding the highest, most demanding expectations. A real artist and exceptional human being.
Put the expensive headphones on for this ...... Ahhhhh that sound is soooo beautiful! And although it's amazing to hear all those fantastic older instruments, working with young luthiers is about creating the next generation of amazing instruments. You can hear that it's still sort of just being playd in but the sound, the articulationis so clear and I fully agree the lower register is amazing. What's also worth considering is that this instrument will just get better and better as it ages. Thank you
Seems wider than standard, like a Maggini. I like the lows and the slightly dark open sweetness (it's a Tootsie Roll), which people mostly find in antique instruments.
Nice, full and balanced sound on that Violin. Sounds like it was inspiring to play. It looks like the body may be somewhat larger than a Strad, and perhaps a little wider in the Lower Bout. Hard to tell from a video. 🤷♀
I know this is RUclips and sound is not super Hi-fi, but I love the sound of your instruments; sounds just as good as the "old masters". I'd imagine you are well paid but still more affordable than a strad!
A beautiful looking and wonderful sounding instrument. With some frequent, dedicated playing this will be a truly marvelous instrument in a few years. Excellent playing and craftsmanship, always a treat to witness!
In the 1980s I had the opportunity to try a Hieronymous Amati violin, the finest instrument I had ever played on. Very rich tone.The $150,000 asking price was too steep for me at the time.
Very interesting instrument, both powerful and well balanced. It sounds different to the one you normally play which has a bit more edge. Elizabeth has done well to produce a modern instrument that works so well. PS : Nicely played as well. 😊👍
Thank you Katha. This series has been wonderful getting to know Lisa Laporte. Maybe next time you could get some close up photos so we can see the fine details of the instrument. The instrument sounded great. As always your playing is magical. Thanks again!
@@finemasterviolins I’m not very keen on the look of the varnish of your violin that I have seen and the tone of the only one I tried was a bit strident. Presumably your others are different.
Really loved the video of some of the process of making a violin with the music playing over it, and also the shot of her watching you play her violin.
Hi Eva, so glad you liked this one! Actually, it all came down to you- I met Elizabeth and played this instrument in your living room! I was so taken with the violin that I knew I had to interview her. So this series wouldn't have happened at all if I hadn't gotten that invite to your luthier and artist meet up! Thank you! :)
I love the sound of this violin. It has that woody "knock" to the tone that is the thing that always pulls me in about any great string instrument. Sounds old. Sounds expensive!!!
It just goes to show you really don't need to fork out millions for a good instrument! I don't know how much she's selling this for, but it's definitely not that!!
should be very nice once it opens up. sounds like it could use a little adjustment. most likely a bridge refitting or the sound post is a little off. very very promising tone ...
What struck me about this instrument when I first played it is that it was already quite open, even though it's relatively new! So yes, it will definitely change over time, and when it finds an owner- and it will only change for the better, the more it's played!
Great instrument with good balance but the higher register is the more responsive. (The speakers on my computer may not be doing the lower register justice.)
Сегодня уже есть трансакустические гитары. Вот примерно что должна уметь скрипка. В нулевой акустике ,есть такие места ,можно найти, она должна делать объм.
From here, I heard nothing unusual. Sounds great. Some of these guitar companies have found a way to "age" the wood. Maybe this could be used for violin making.
This instrument has precisely the sweetness that most folks online have attributed to old wood in antique instruments. Whatever she is doing, she has more of a clue than other world-class luthiers.
How much "precision" is involved in "sweetness", I'm not sure. But I think it's safe to assume the old world violins sounded excellent when they were new. The trick to making a great instrument, be it guitar or violin, is balancing the EQ and output of each string so that the player need not compensate for strong or weak notes. Accomplish this and "sweetness" will follow.
@@VicariousAdventurer I agree 100%. I personally spent 30 years of experiments to work out how to get the resonance and sound quality of a master violin. Most great makers have their own ways to accomplish this and of course its normally a trade secret. La Porte Violin, 2020 sounds lovely 😍
Modern is the way to go in terms of value if you ask me. But when you fall in love with an instrument, make sure you do your homework before you buy it. Should you decide you want to sell it later, you may have to go through serious heartache to get it sold. Make sure the maker you’re buying/commissioning from has a reputation. If an instrument is just sitting there in a maker’s shop and hasn’t been commissioned by a particular person, ask why. You think it would just fly off the shelf when you try to sell it because of how much you loved it-and how much you paid for it. Lots of shops are flooded with modern instruments on consignment which could take years to sell. Sometimes the makers who you bought it from will refuse to sell it for you. Not to rain on the parade, but it’s important not to be naive about these things in terms of the financial investment they are.
I'm not sure exactly, but if you are interested in the instrument reach out to me by e mail through our website- www.atonalhits.com . From there I can put you in touch with Elizabeth!
Несколько раз подъехать к ноте.Нужно лучше готовится к демонстрации, любой промах это не уважение к автору музыки, которою играете. К сожалению это уже давно норма. Институт критики уничтожили и теперь смело рулят вроде как музыканты.
Не хватает глубины и мягкости на басах .Исполнителю трудно передать характер произведения. Всё в одном настроении и не получается доказать фразировку.Скрипка больше нравятся мастеру ,чем скрипачу.А ведь были проведены репетиции.
For me, it sounds sweet and warm

That G string is buff holy!
Hard to imagine how good it must sound in person rather than Mac Book Air speakers
Maravillosa Luthier....
❤veryyyyyy nice violin

That violin looks and sounds beautiful! Good job to both the maker and the violinist!
Wow sounds amazing you play beautiful also.

These videos are so satisfying to watch!

Beautiful violin and gorgeous playing
Very Beautiful!!!!

Gorgeous violin and it sounds rich and deep. Loved it. Bravo Elizabeth !!! Nice excerpts too Katha, you sounded marvelous as always.
You might consider playing the same repertoire on each of the videos so one might be able to compare the sound of the violins.
Thank you Katha. This series has been wonderful getting to know Lisa Laporte. Maybe next time you could get some close up photos so we can see the fine details of the instrument. The instrument sounded great. As always your playing is magical. Thanks again!
Great content, and playing!
I want one 🥺🥺
Fantastic playing on a fantastic instrument!
What a beautiful violin. It’s a pity I live in Australia so far away from such brilliant violin makers.
Well there is me making violins (perhaps not that well known yet). Some may say brilliant maker 😆
Victoria Australia

It's cool to see that part, right? Unless you're in the shop, you almost never get to!
Beautiful instrument beautifully played.
I always learn a lot from these conversations--thanks for your time and efforts to produce them to share your knowledge and passions with everyone.👍🙏

Can you tell it’s a new instrument when you play it ? Do you think that the sound might change over time as the wood seasons ?
What struck me about this instrument when I first played it is that it was already quite open, even though it's relatively new! So yes, it will definitely change over time, and when it finds an owner- and it will only change for the better, the more it's played!
I was curious about that , like how a new engine has to bed in before it performs its best . Thank you
