- In this video, we will be comparing the sound of three different violins, all of which are Guarneri models. Guarneri violins are some of the most highly sought-after instruments by musicians and collectors alike, known for their rich, warm sound and exceptional craftsmanship.
We will start by introducing each of the three violins, providing some background on their unique characteristics that set them apart from one another. We will also discuss the various factors that can impact the sound of a violin, including the type of wood used, the age of the instrument, and the playing style of the musician.
Once we have covered these introductory topics, we will move on to the main event: a side-by-side comparison of the three violins. Each violin will be played by Ariel Lang, founder of MyLuthier and professional violinist, allowing us to hear the unique tonal qualities and nuances of each instrument.
Throughout the video, we will provide commentary and analysis on the sound of each violin, discussing what we are hearing and what makes each instrument stand out. By the end of the video, we hope you will have a better understanding of the subtle but important differences in sound that can be found among Guarneri violins, and a new appreciation for the beauty and complexity of these incredible instruments. - Hudba
I found the second violin's sound just beautiful. Beautiful. The deep, resonant and 'moody' tone it has is just to my taste. Oh, were I not poor...
The sound of the Second one is amazing.
I LIKED THE SECOND VIOLIN, THANKS FOR THE DEMO.
As a cellist, I would love to hear you do the same with cellos.
Please keep posting similar videos. I would love for you to demonstrate a Peter Greiner violin, and more instruments from Edgar Russ.
Thank you! More videos coming up soon!
Love the Edgar Russ violin. The deepness of the notes is spell binding.
Thank you! It’s really is a special instrument! 👏
Where to buy?
Excellent video
this is amazing😍😍
Your playing was great! And, any of those violins would be excellent, especially for solo instruments. I judge solo instruments by "if my cat runs away". And, from the first notes of the Edgar Russ violin, my cat jumped off the top of her little tree from her nap, and started getting further away. So, there must be some piercing thing that I can't hear going on. She didn't mind the Alf fiddle as much ... but then went into the other bedroom when the Mateo violin was played. I honestly thought all 3 were excellent. Of the violins I own, only my Rena Weisshaar violin makes the cat run. I also have a "workshop" Edgar Russ Guarneri made in Germany I think, and the cat doesn't mind that one. A decent fiddle too, but no comparison to the one you played. Keep making videos please!
Bravo, maestro, encore!
Love your posts, some of the best I’ve encountered!

I liked the sound of the second one you played. Comments on the video: first of all, thank you for doing this. I would've liked of little more specifics - you speak in vague terms of the nature of the sound holes. And the beauty of the instruments. I would've liked a little more description on the difference between a G Violin and the Strad, also, you could've said a little more specifics about what is the difference between the varnish from Cromona. You could've added some close-ups, and used a specific terms. Just constructive feedback. Thank you very much!
beautiful violins!!! would love to come and try them!
It would be a pleasure if you are ever in London!
all wonderful
Loved the video. Keep ‘em coming!
Thanks Steven!
I would prefer the Edgar Ross violin. The sound is unbelievably, very expressive and smooth. For a hobby violinist, such an instrument is just a dream. But who knows... miracles also happen😉🎻 Thank you ... Many greetings from Germany
Thank You à la maison ML.Vous avez joué sur trois violons (des essais) afin que je puisse voir les sons desdits violons 🎻 🎻🎻J’ai aimé les sons des deux derniers .Bravo à vous ML 👏♥️👩🦰
Merci beaucoup! :)
Thank you for this interesting video! These violins sound great. But it is just my imagination that original Guarneris sound more "free" or "rich"?
I like the second violin made in 2003, gonna search for that maker 😊
I liked the first one best.
i think it was not Isaac Stern , but Elma Oliveira , who used to have Curtin and Alf violin.
But anyway I enjoyed your video.
Thanks for the info!
I imagine one master luthier making the same Guarnari model that each violin will have slightly differing characteristics?
To my ear, the second violin sounded the best for the non-classical music which I would prefer to play
Hello: two quick questions if I may? What were the strings that you were using on the violins? Were the same brand of strings used on each of the violins? And what was the bow you were using? Thanks very much.
Hi John, thanks for asking! We used Peter Infeld strings on two of the instruments and Dominant Pro on the third. These were all selected to fit each instrument and get the best possible sound. We used a bow by Emilio Slaviero who is a wonderful bowmaker based in Cremona!
@@MyLuthierUK Thank you for the information.
How are the F holes unique? How do they register any better sound? Please tell us.
The last one is the one.
All 3 good, Alfs the best from that 3 choices. Whats with Russ violin varnish? 😆
Edgar uses an Amber (resin used in Jewellery) and oil fused varnish (home cooked)

Thanks for explanation, it was a kind of joke from my side, I tried his viola in the past, very well instrument. Have a Nice day☺️
Only two seconds in: it looks like the "Leduc" on the very left. Then middle, hmm.... a variation on the Vieuxtemps? And the last one on the right, maybe something close to the Lord Wilton?
Just my guess before watching the video :) I would be absolutely astonished if I got 1 or 2 correct!
Correction: the middle looks most like the Lord Wilton! (I won't delete my comments/mistakes)!
P.S. The left-hand-side violin at 0:22 REALLY does look like the "Leduc" Del Gesu..... I'm not sure what's happening here.
I guess the "Sainton" looks similar but I don't quite see it. [P.S. Luthier of 8 years, with the sad passing of my mentor Arthur Robinson who worked with the Hill bow makers and also the wonderful Charles Beare, K. Lee, and Mr Biddulph"".
I believe the first Edgar Russ violin has great potential, particularly in terms of its sound on the G and E strings. For the second violin, the bass is thick and the treble is broken. The third violin has average sound quality
May I know the cost of the second violin
First 2, but Gregg Alf (2nd one) has a clear, balanced, warm yet projecting and far reaching. The 3rd one is just loud, I don’t feel the warmth.
The second violin to me sounded the best...
What strings have everyone?
All 3 violins are beautiful and nicely played too. The 1st is probably the most powerful with rich overtones . The 2nd is somewhat similar but with a gentler streak. The 3rd inhabits a different soundscape and has the kind of tone one associates with a Strad . At no point do they sound mushy or dull and one wants to continue listening. I have a Guarneri model MJZ925- what do you think of it? Finally how much do these violins cost? Thanks.
try the Grand Amati
Where can I buy the second violin?
Unfortunately they are all sold but if you get in touch at myluthier.co/contact we can procure another one from the same maker for you!
Second one by a long stretch.
Do we have good violin makers in uk?
Absolutely, we work with many of them!
@@MyLuthierUK would be nice if you can bring their violins and cellos for the next videos.
Im planning to improve my violin, i particular like the Edgar Russ, but also looking for good violin makers in uk, but I don’t know many of them in uk.

Actually, I have 2 cats ... well, really they are my wife's ... but only one of them is a true connoisseur of violin tone, and will run away from any good violin. I can hear brightness, clarity - but that cat can hear something else. Not sure what it is. The old one just lays there though, and could care less.
Nice fiddles! I’d get yourself a good lapel mic so you don’t have to awkwardly overdub your own voice.
No.2 is where im gonna put money
I was thinking more of why a luthier knows this concerto
>>>>Wer ist Edgar Russ? Der Lack ist unschön, der Klang nicht besser als von C.T.Fundateanu, oder on P.Greiner.
You shouldn't play only single note Sibelius, Bach g-minor would be good ...
Can someone please tells me what kind of disease is this , I have a pupil on violin 12 years old, when she sings the pieces concertinos, etudes etc. that I give her she sings in perfect hearing, pitch. But when she plays it on violin the same pieces she is terrible, she misses everything, intonation is terrible, it sounds like different piece, I cannot change it, her fingers seems ok and the left hand, it has to be some disease connection brain with hand and fingers or something, dont know🤣🤣🤣
Is she an advanced player?
maybe you should review your teaching method instead of treating your students like a joke
@@fatdoi003 I am, with other pupils its ok, in 15 years of work thats the first case of mine like that, I was talking with some other teachers and they have the same problems with some their pupils
@Andrejviola my daughter been struggling with spiccato for over 2 years and still struggling with it after she's done with her grade 8 exam
@@fatdoi003 She must focus more on right hand and bowing, feelings in right hand, it will go eventually....
Solo violin is not for me. I dont really like the pierceness
And 50 bucks says the AVERAGE listener couldn't tell the difference between any of them and an Amazon Chinese factory violin.
When played by a pro like this fellow, you’re right. Mostly. Try to drive the E string that hard on a cheap fiddle, well, it might respond with a muffled screech.
Its just wood people and we pay enormous amounts of money for that piece of wood, we dumb or whats happening in this world?
Are you talking about violins or firewood?
@@BlindTom61 Hahaha good point, I think the string instruments should be max 5k dollars or euros
So you don't believe a luthier should be paid for the amount of time and training that goes into making a great violin, as well the cost for exquisite materials? Surely you're not a violinist.
@@kevinutsler1926 bla, bla, I am professional violist, practising and working on violin and the on viola all my life, just saying I am working too and dont get paid as much as so instruments are worth......And please dont be rude....
@@Andrejviolaluthiers can spend months on an instrument and more than 200 hours on each so they only deserve 5000 euros... That's less than 25euros an hour plus materials, equipment, consumables.... Seriously?
