I have no desire to make a violin. There are hundreds of thousands of violins that need repair. I am happy with that.

Not all Strads were built exactly the same, and the ones being played currently have been modified from Baroque to modern; longer necks, different ribs to change the depth. Many have been refinished.

BRAVO !

You guys sound great, really solid covers.

Total quackery

The proof is in the pudding. Without hearing the violin played by a virtuoso classical violinist, this video is very disappointing.

Can you please see if mine is real??

There is something to it. I remember once I had strange sound in my car. The sound would disapear at 90km/h. And recently I put up rails on the roof of my other car and some strange sound came with it. When driving at the speed of 90km/h it is gone

I can tell this guy is from the North East! He can't say the letter R!

I own two cheap violins and for me, they are as good as Stradivari even though I do not play violin...I've bought them just because I like the instrument. No other reason.

Türkçe İngilizce Turkey Balıkesirt to exact original Stradivarius violin in 1713 sealed the guarantee I talked to sahipiyl Armenians after a team come across and carbon testing done photocopy machines, such as with anything they measured from all sides have taken samples from the adhesive used on time within which play the violin until brass them 2-3 hours to examine 12 people this orjinalt the saying goes, but The owner, whose price is not understood, is descended from the Sultan Abdülmecitten

Loved the theory. Currently making a violin. Will put some of the ideas into practice. Many thanks.

He patented the design which looks the way a violin used to be all over the Earth! 😁 I wonder if Stradivari, Guarneri, and the rest of the greatest luthiers to ever live have their own patents too?

Son copias no son extradivarius alos q conocen deficel de engañar

I am trying to determine if my violin is worth anything. It's from Russia and was bought in 1991. Who can I take it to? I'm in vancouver BC Canada

I have Antonius Stradivarius and I want it appraised who could help me?

Interesting how all the best sounding violins dimensions ad up to 9 and 360. Coincidence, I think not?

Amati was the maker who made the violin in its present shape today....Strads are all hype....

waiting the whole time to hear the violin sound then he plays Guitar for some reason 🤦🤦

Why does the Strad sound so good? Not one secret 'thing', but a convergence of factors. Only good quality instruments are going to be kept or repaired. So-so fiddles become kindling or end up as student instruments. Reputation of the maker pushes up the perceived value, repairs become more expensive and technically challenging. An instrument needs patronage to survive! As the best-of-the-best filter is applied over many lifetimes, fewer instruments survive to be examined. With such a small sample, it's hard to know what common factor makes 'that sound'. For one fiddle, the varnish may have been the 'magic', for another the internal geometry was key, or the source of tone-wood for another. As the value/reputation of a given instrument soars, the caliber of the player/owner tends to keep pace. The best violins in the hands of the best players...of course modern works can't compete! The filter of time is a 'playing-in' interval measure in centuries, and new stuff aint there yet!

Sounds like 400 years in Spain and Italy. Antoine Stradivari must have been a student of a Morish master.

Has anyone done or thought of using state of the art CT scan equipment to scan some of the great fiddles and get their topologies. With this technology one can get complete dimensions of these violins down to the bacterial level (50-100 microns). This is completely non-invasive and was done on the Antikythera Mechanism in 2005. I wish this could happen. It is the endocast dimensions that count the most.

What a fuckin idiot is that?

i have a clean piece i want to sell it!!

Cant find much info on Colin other then this video. His instruments must be hard to find. Looks like he made some nice instruments.

Well, you can use the metric system millimeters to establish ratio of distances, but you are very lucky to find a metric tree, unless you can genetically engineer it, or apply rain in a metric way.

I really am not a fan of handcraft techniques being patented on an open form instrument.

When Can we Hear It Play.

I was on the crew of the FV LEGACY in the late 90s I miss it.

It's interesting how he talks about the number 9 and that he is a Freemason. Occult numerology has always been use by all the architects of society, from ancient Egypt to Nikola Tesla and the events of 9-11.

I owned a violin maker returns to Antonius Stradivarius and I want her evaluation And validating

what a lovely man.

I tried something new making a violin. I tried putting on A-holes on one instead of F-holes but no one bought it because when you ran a string across it, it sounded like a fart.

Numerology is too arbitrary, and it's NOT math. It's religion, actually. Ratios are the key. In fact it's the Fibonacci sequence, which has a direct bearing on frequency and resonance that numerology does not. He does make a nice violin, so either he's obfuscating his method with pseudoscience OR he got dang lucky. But there really isn't any useful info in this video for violin makers.

El tema es así: los Stradivarius suenan bien porque la madera ya tiene más 350 años de estacionamiento y añejamiento. Seguramente que en su época, recién salidos de fábrica, no sonarían tan impresionantes, serían como cualquier violín contemporáneo.

Making a big deal about how mysterious it is that Stradivari used variations of 9mm. But he forgets to mention the metric system wasn't used during Stradivaris lifetime.

Nice video and smart man. So many people are looking for "the" technical reason as to why old strads and amatis where so rich in sound, they try to find technical answers to logical, analogical questions. Perhaps the richness of harmonics that these instruments produce, simple comes out from the acoustic reasonning that imperfections in the inner surface of the instruments allows for various reflexions and thus produce more various sounds ie ending up with more harmonics, this explains also why the violonists says that a Strad is so difficult to "handle" and takes time to understand it. Think about it, if you build a violin with the inner board totaly smooth, the reflections will be so uniform that the sound will be totally poor in harmonics. Remember that those old instruments are full or holes in the wood because of worms and totally assymetric inside...

Those people live in airplane heaven.

Love that Fairbanks-Morse O.P. engine. Purrs like a kitten. Nice refit guys.

Nice Tug Looks Like she has a Fairbanks Op Diesel.

I HAVE GOT A VIOLIN WHICH MY FATHER USED PLAY WHO PASSED AWAY BACK IN 1985. HE GOT THIS VIOLIN AS A GIFT FROM ONE OF HIS FRIEND WHO WAS WORKING IN CALCUTTA. INDIA. IN MY CHILDHOOD I HAVE SEEN THE LABEL ANTONIO STRADIVARIUS.HOW TO KNOW IT IS REAL STRAD

that one was not a real strad, everything is far off from the real thing sorry to say

hello, one information. " Antonius.& Hieronym. Fr Amati Cremonen. Andreae fil. F.16" What violin if?

czcams.com/video/4UzZNgliu40/video.html -> original or copy???

Makes beautiful sounds too!

One kind of violin that is...
