I didn't know there was a violin society! I really enjoyed watching this and seeing all those beautiful violins being sold and played. I'm a musician myself and I enjoy the way the violins and many other instruments produce beautiful sounds (even though I play clarinet but I want to do violin as a 2nd instrument!)
Is anyone producing instruments modelled on the Cremonese originals?, i.e. before they'd been re-necked, had the original flatter bridge and fingerboard changed, and designed to be gut-strung
@@sma1968 Stefan, that's interesting, because a violin barred to take the tension of steel strings must be quite different from one built with only gut in mind. Not as wide a gulf as the steel framed piano versus the wood framed, perhaps, but still a significant difference. They mention in the film luthiers out there basing instruments on gourds and what-not, but I know there are some are making "echt" golden-age copies for early music specialists and they weren't mentioned.
There are several players, all top level concert musicians. The woman to whom you are referring is one of the great violists of today. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokuthula_Ngwenyama

Oh wow....I would feel like a kid in a candy store there. I would love to try them all :-)
Excellant! Wish I could been there.
This is a very good video. The string instruments are my favorite.
Thank you!

BRAVO !
The female viola player is great player.
Yes. She is. She's a world class Violist. Quite famous in that world, too.
The makers have surpassed Stradivarius for sound and quality....it’s just the legend and age that seems to make old ones better.
Indeed, when the stradivari were new they were the best, so the age really hasn't improved them.
I didn't know so many people made violins.
This society needs to tell parts and accessories manufacturers how meet sizing, quality and honesty in standards and advertizing.
Good video
Do they use the same strings on all?
it must be fair and square for judgment.
When is the next competition....and is this open to the public?
yes. It is. Check out the VSA website.

Regardless of ability the same song should be played. Otherwise its a biased competition.
On the flipside, different instruments will sometimes sound better for different pieces.
NoParking look at jace’s comment
W.O.W.

That's a darn good question. There must be someone out there doing it... but I haven't seen any.

How do judges get elected? Winning viola medal means that your viola was liked by that black woman the most?
That “black woman” is actually “the best educated in her particular field, on Earth”
Geez...

Is there a flute society ?
Good question. I suppose there must be, eh? However, I don't know about it.
