IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN INSTRUMENT...
I'd highly recommend you give David Michie Violins a call. They are located in the heart of Philadelphia next to the Curtis Insitute of Music. I send all of my students here becuase they have always kindly and professionally provided the highest quality instruments and service for everyone at any level.
Set up a Zoom meeting to hear some instruments, it's free! :)

So helpful! Thank you!
The E-String sounds soooo different...
I like the 2nd violin you tried. It´s so clear, loud and has a warm sound. and the colour is beautiful too.
I was not at all surprised by the first cut down to five instruments. The “American 1920” jumped out at me just like it did to you, and I knew it would make the final cut. The “French 1927” was more subtle; it grew on me by the end, but I don’t know that it would have made my top two. I didn’t pick up on the problem with the sound post, but I definitely heard the difference after it was corrected. It is gratifying to me that my ears are still good at age 52! Thank you for making this video. What a tremendous resource you are to your student in helping him or her choose like that!
😎Well, it took a while
for you to get there, but
I think you picked out a couple of good ones..
I preferred the French violin’s warmth and laid-back sound for my own personal use, but the more aggressive sounding violin was very cool too, especially for soloists.
My “problem” with the whole upgrade process is that the violin family is a side interest, so I couldn’t see myself dropping 7k or 8K (add bow) on a violin, viola, or cello. I have inexpensive student violin and viola, and as much as I’d like to have a higher quality versions of each,
I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to justify that, but it is an interesting and exciting thought. Upgrading strings and bows, combined with the care of a reputable violin shop, has been carrying me thus far; and luckily for me, I don’t find their tone to be all that offensive, but I do know that a significant upgrade would be beneficial in the long term if I keep at it...🥳👨🏻
I enjoyed this so much. I am like you, very sensitive to every nuance, and need lots of time to evaluate between many choices. You could make this video an hour long and I wouldn't mind. Never feel like you're boring us! I personally LOVE instrument shopping with you. Thing is, I'm shopping for a viola! But this was fun. :)
Hi there! Thank you so much for your kind comments🥰🎻📚✨
Always remember that you should ensure that the instrument fits first; I have been learning for 4 years and new tutor has advised that a full size was too big . Even the two shops that sold me full size did not advise that it was physically impossible for me to use correctly
Very efficient, the top two were responsive, clear and warm, one was darker than the other
… a nice Trip in the beautiful violin and bow world! Smart presentation! Merci!
Hey Gunther! Thank you :)
@@ViolinViolaMasterclass Thank you!
You are welcome! Nice Sunday …
You are like a big kid in a candy store, but hey what a lovely way to spend an afternoon. Hope you found a good one in the end, but it does take a couple or more weeks to get used to a new instrument. Hope you had a lovely Easter xx
Hey Vincent! yessssss!!
wow!!! ❤❤❤ a very detailed vid on a VERY important aspect!!! thank you!!!!
Very worthwhile to see and hear. I was lucky enough to be working in Shanghai for a few weeks and tried out a number of potential instruments. One was exceptionally responsive and wanted to produce music for me with ease without being at all expensive. I also bought a very unique semi-acoustic electric violin and a very fine sounding viola using a similar procedure. But it was later with the strings I selected and great sounding bows when they really came to life :) Violin and Viola are 5th and 6th instrument types for me. Steve
no need to test higher position notes on each strings??
I think it is more crucial than these
I liked the 3 or 4th from left. I also liked the one you liked.
Amazing video I can see the process how to choose violin live, pick up one by one put again and put the shoulder rest to several candidate and finaly only gold and silver medal who will win😊🎉
What you have suggested is so true.
For meee? By Wednesday? 😁 aww thank you, you're so sweet 😆
Nice . . . YOU ~ ROCK ! ! 🤛 😉🌹
Yes on this one it was nice and loud
the violin number is better but no one is italia violin,,,I think most of them Slovakia and Germany
Fun video. Are these new violins or used? Typically i've always bought a used violin because they've been played in and have an open sound whereas new ones you have to play a lot to get the gist of how it will sound. With a new violin I typically tell the students I work with if they get a brand new violin to wait a few months before buying a new bow so they can see how it opens up.
To answer your question my favorite strings are Vision Titanium Solo and Larsen II Cannone. For my cello I use Thomastik Superflexible for my viola I use pirastro obligato or tonica
… Good String choice! Thomastik-Infeld, Vienna, Dominant would be a
Good Choice, too! Thank you!
@@guntherschill5881 I used Dominant in the past they’re okay but I didn’t like them. They just don’t sound the same to me anymore. A good alternative is Pirastro Tonica and the Larsen in the light blue the original they are warm but with a cleaner crisp sound. Plus I’ve been weaning from Thomastik because they’ve been raising the prices for their strings and you can get good ones for less. So for dominant they are now $75 a set in the US the best alternative is Pirastro Tonica they have a cleaner sound and are $45. A good alternative for Rondo and titanium solo are the Larsen cannone they are more brilliant like Evah pirazzi and have kick cost $85
@vanessa ebony, thank you very much for your Special advice referring to your Great experience about the Wohle
Theme about
Vanessa ebony, thank you for your Tipps once More! What is your experience about Corelli crystal or Alliance vivace? Or Jargar Strings ?Thank you so much!
I quickly liked the French one from early on in the video. Her 2nd favourite.
What were the other instruments & their prices? Also, why pick a bow first? I thought you had to match the bow to the instrument. I've had bows that were great with one instrument but terrible with another.
I just picked one bow to start with, but eventually tried out others once I found a few violins I liked. All the violins I'm trying out in this video are $6-7500 :)
@@ViolinViolaMasterclass That's a lot of dosh for a violin!
Did the "student" finally decide on just one?
& Was it the one you liked best?
🎉
Lol the intro is so christmasy…and it’s only September!
Was this not edited from last time I saw it,thousands of dollars it cost!!
Sorry ,I don't mean to be critical but that is part of the problem with viol instruments , $ 6 - 7,500 for a student's instrument.
I play a different type of musical instrument (electric Bass and guitar) $7500 would be a custom shop instrument much more then needed as a professional instrument. The expense viols are keeps me from getting one.
The 20s American one sounds fuller / projects more.
understandable!
Well from the video these instruments were from 1920s so typically older violins will cost more. You can get a basic student violin for 500-1200 and then upgrade once you've advanced as a player
I'm thinking more about viola , 5-600 would be do able 1200 would be a little too much right now . are the stendor instruments ok.
@@michaelblaney4461 so like violins violas ranging from 6000-7000 those are typically intermediate advanced violins. For a viola depending on where you get the viola depends on a lot. You want to get from a place that specializes in orchestral strings. YOu may also want to inquire with the shop if they have used violins. 600 some starting prices but take into consideration when you buy an instrument for the first time you're going to need strings, shoulderrest, bow, instrument and case.
✋...I need help buying a violin. I have recently become interested and need an advocate as I have tried to visit a couple of violin shops on my own after seeing your video and got extremely frustrated with the lack of support/feedback. It was nothing like what you've shown visiting David's shop.
Oh dear! I’m sorry to hear that! Send me an email and I would be happy to try some out for you at David’s in the New Year👍 amber@violinviolamasterclass.com
