It could also be the fact that the cheaper one is 4 string while the more expensive is 7 string. It's not a fair comparison. You probably wouldn't notice a difference unless your ears were trained to hear a high range of frequencies.
Everyone in this comment is retarded...they are electric, neither of them resonate..the sound goes through an electric pickup then through a speaker 😂🤣
thats because it uses a very dry, very hard, very dense, and very resonate wood. no wood like such are cheap, but theyre nowhere near 5000 wood+labor. the cheapest would be roasted maple, which could be found in guitars ranging from 300 - 3000++ or even higher.
I didn't expect to be able to hear a difference (tiny phone speaker, electric violin, all that) but the second one instantly sounded smoother and more complex. It's absolutely gorgeous, too!
Its gonna be alright my man, i dont know how or why you lost her but you need to look ahead, dwelling on what could happen is good, it gives you perspective on what you should do right next time at the same time you should move on to make the perfect "next time".
You can definitely tell the difference. 1st still sounds very good for being moderately priced but the latter has a clarity and richness that the first just cannot reach. Both are good but it’s clear why the first is more accessible.
The clarity is astounding but each has there unique qualities that can be utilized in amazing ways. Don’t let the price of an item determine your motivation to improve.
@@TF_Tony yeah that's kinda what I meant it just sounded so simmilar it surprised me as beyond fallout and this short I haven't heard it, at least don't remember it outside of background music in a movie maybe
Back in 1958, I wanted a cheap violin for Christmas, but was given a guitar instead, which I didn't want. Both of the instruments were $15, but I think my father believed he could teach me the guitar, not the violin. The only time he tried to teach me the guitar was on moving day, from that house, about 12 years later. I never did learn the guitar, but I eventually repaired my grandfather's old violin and could play a few songs on it. My mandolin and banjo came later in life, and at 76, I have just given them away. Your violins sound fantastic!
You realize you’re talking about electronic instruments right? If you’re concerned about that then wait til you find out electric violins also use batteries. Ooooo
Wtf you crushed my picture of violins. Everytime I pictured a violin I think of the classic violins like a stradivari (probably mispronounced that one XD). But these look so cool and futuristic I mean if one of the aliens in the cantina band star wars scene played one of these I would've totally thought the prop master did a awesome job
@@ofilosofoouumfumante5655 I can see so many advantages for these though. Silent practise, probably easier to record with those piezos, and more durable and less maintenance as well I'm sure. Many people I've seen these play use effect pedals as well

@@ofilosofoouumfumante5655 if youre a session recorder, acoustic is an investment because you need a mic, an interface and a home studio. And at some point the electric ones will sound better, its just a matter of time. it happened with guitars and it will happen to violins :C
I'm just amazed at how seamlessly he transitioned the expensive one from fiddling into what sounds more like classical style playing. Hopefully I'm that good one day
I feel like the first one has quite some resonance, which gives it some metallic notes, while the second one has sharper highs and more mids (not counting the extra strings).
Electric violins are sacrilegious- but anyways Good Luck with your journey! I play the violin too and I hope to get to a professional soloist level to play full concertos like Tchaikovsky's violin Concerto (one of the best one imo) or Mendelssohn's violin Concerto. But lemme tell you it's a long journey and our repertoire is messed up, from Bach sonata's to Paganini caprices and Prokofiev's violin Concerto
they both sound amazing, and I love the choice of an irish reel/bluegrass sound to demonstrate them, but the more expensive one has a beautiful resonance and range that the less expensive one does not
But you won't have competition when playing outside or in places without electric plugs cause there's ✨natural amplification ✨ and acoustic violins sound more deep and more colourful anyways, not like the sacrilegious electric violins
@@sebants_qc1018 weird af calling them sacrilegious. It's not like electric guitars replaced acoustic ones, they have their own sound own use and place in music why is it any different for an electric violin. There is nothing wrong with finding new ways to make music, purists just make things boring.
Is a 7 string guitar not a guitar when most of them have 6? Is a 6 string bass guitar not a bass guitar when most of them have 4? Regardless of that 7 stringer being closer to a Viol, not necessarily a violin. It plays like a violin, it sounds like a violin (and a viola on those low strings). It's a violin.
1st one sounded like a dusk evening on the porch with your family all picking different instruments and drinking and eating and jusg having a good time. Amd the other sounds like you're hearing a work of art. Both beautiful
Is it just me or is the simplistic nature of the cheeper one more beautiful? Sure you are getting a wider range of notes with the expensive one, but cutting down on the true "feeling" of the lesser one.
Wow! I honestly didn’t think that I would have been able to discern a difference. The difference in richness was amazing. Oh, and yup, listened to the comparison on my iPhone.
I love that their "cheapest" violin still is a very good instrument. A bad instrument can completely ruin your motivation but music stores stock them nonetheless because they sell so many of them and it makes up for a lot of their profit.
We’re mostly an online shop. If we stocked crappy instruments just to make a few bucks, it would destroy the trust our customers have in us and we would rightfully go out of business.
I used to play the clarinet and had a basic one, but had the privilege of playing a wooden clarinet with gold keys once. Someone in my class got it as a gift from a family member and let us try it out. I was amazed by it. It had such a difference in sound. It was a beautiful instrument.
Oh yeah. Major difference in over all timbre. The Jordan was much smoother sounding in the high end. Both incredibly viable for recording and performance though.
I've been playing my YEV for 4 or 5 years and it's perfectly good. I run it through a multi effects pedal that also has octave so I don't need a cello glued to it. But, I do regret not getting the 5 string with the added C string.
For reference to non-musicians, my family and I got my viola for around $2k-3k from our local shop in the mid 2000’s. Not electric or anything, just a standard viola. :)
I'm not sure if you've addressed this already. The only problem I had with playing an extended range violin (more than 5 strings anyway) was needing a different bow. I opted finally for a viola bow with my 7-string. People might enjoy your thoughts on that subject.
CodaBow makes a bow for that very purpose. The Joule bow has the nimbleness of a violin bow with the power of a viola bow. The problem with using a regular violin bow is that they can't pull the big strings. The problem with using a viola bow is that it's like driving a semi-truck when you're used to a sports car.
In my most humble opinion I'd say the more expensive vibrates better. The sound is just...better. very close. If you hadn't played one after the other I couldn't tell
I'm a double bassist and when I was a kid (by which I mean in my early 20's) I went to a master class by the jazz bassist Gary Peacock. The school - Berklee College of Music - had provided him a student model plywood bass, but when he picked it up to play an example, it sounded just like his playing with Bill Evans or Keith Jarrett. Sound is in the brain & fingers. And then it's good to have decent equipment.
I like the first one better. I know I shouldn’t but regardless my ears find the that one more satisfying to my ears. I played Tuba so I wasn’t a violinist so I wouldn’t know shit anyway.
It's not the majority opinion, but a fair number of people do prefer the first one. It's a quality instrument. And this isn't math class. There's no "right" or "wrong" answer. If it sounds good to you, then it's good.
Usually you can't tell the difference between instrument comparisons like this,but, this one was pretty obvious. That $5000 block of wood sounds much more crisp than the unknown priced "cheap" instrument.
Me, listening to the "difference" on my mobile phone's shitty speaker:
Ahh yes.
no but you can hear it tho
@@EpicManaphyDude no not really.
@@bapewizard get your hearing checked, seriously
On my phone too and immediately liked the second one. Also, bass notes.
Somewhere in Canada Glenn Fricker felt a calm breeze and smiled for this comment was pleasing to his senses
@SpectreSoundStudios
As a non violin player, I wasn’t expected to notice a difference but the expensive one definitely does sound more resonant
It could also be the fact that the cheaper one is 4 string while the more expensive is 7 string. It's not a fair comparison. You probably wouldn't notice a difference unless your ears were trained to hear a high range of frequencies.
I definitely noticed a difference but can't say if it was fundamental or just the three extra strings.
@@Sophie-wf9zk as a viola/cello player I agree
Everyone in this comment is retarded...they are electric, neither of them resonate..the sound goes through an electric pickup then through a speaker 😂🤣
How... There is nothing to resonate except the amp.
They're the same thing.
its like violin makers all collectively said "lets make violins look as far from a violin as possible"
About time they cought up with guitar manufacturers. They been making weird guitar designs for years.
It’s because these aren’t acoustic violins they are electric so they don’t need a chamber
It evolves 🎉😂
