Very nice sounding Cello. Listening through Studio Monitoring Headphones, I liked the 1st performance best, and consequently the Aluminum Ring. There was a balance between the C and G strings, and a full resonant depth in the sound that I found more exciting and pleasing. On the 2nd performance, there was more string whistling, and along with 3rd performance, those two didn't sound as "in tune" to me. Maybe that was a consequence of playing the piece numerous times, or maybe the Ring made some difference that helped the Cellist play more in tune on the 1st performance. Each instrument is different, and having more choices with the Rings will help the Cellist get the sound they want - A worthwhile investment. Thanks
"Can a Ring Upgrade Your Cello's Sound?" Yes, but only the brass, and only when the ring is cast between midnight and 1 am during a full moon. However, the sample did not meet this crucial condition.
Love your videos! Please consider investing in a proper microphone. Nowadays it is not that much of an investment and you are making sound comparison videos.
It's like the wine tasting for experts. The supposedly most expensive wine is having the best rating but in reality is a 3 euros supermarket bottle. Everything is inside our brain.
How do you suppose this works? Does the heavier ring reflect more vibrations back into the cello than the lighter ring? Or does it have more to do with the crystalline structure or molecular arrangement of the different alloys?
Not weight but density, which affects resonance, which is a complex phenomenon that no one fully understands or has an ability to accurately analyze except via trial and error exercises which you see here, all highly subjective as to what sounds “better”. But such is the scientific art of creating sound.
The heavier the nut is the lower the resonance goes. Aluminum’s one is thinner and the other side the bronze’s is deep in low-mids .

Thanks for your comment!
Try to listen with headset or earbuds.
😉
That was very interesting and surprising. Thank you Edgar.
You are welcome!
I love this kind of checking and learning
All the best

0:56 vs 2:48 vs 5:08
Thanks a lot!
I think Linea Machi is the secret. 🎻
😂❤
Thank you!
Very interesting, though I can't tell that much difference between them.
An osmium ring would be very heavy and so expensive to manufacture the cellist would subconsciously play better to justify the extravagance.
Brass ring
Is the one I would play with, as well!
Love your videos!

You are right!
But which one do you suggest me?
I want to keep things as simple as possible in order to transmit the sound just as it is!
Yes brass did make a difference
Wow.
Interesting right?
❤

I don’t agree but I understand very well what you mean!
Thanks for your comment & interest

Didn't hear difference between brass and bronze
0:57 vs 2:49 vs 5:09
how is it even possible that it changes sound...
I think it is all a question of weight in an area where the cello is vibrating a lot

I think it’s all about the weight

The cello improves. The cellist does not.
😅😂
He plays better than I do, but that’s not saying a lot
Im coming up bronze
I can understand your preference very well!
Bronze baby
👌🏼
