- A multi-million dollar Stradivarius violin doesn’t offer beautiful sound right away. At least not until the virtuoso violinist gets to know the instrument. Here, 24-year-old violinist Inmo Yang talks about his experience with the “Joachim Ma” violin made in 1714 by the world-renowned Italian violin maker Antonio Stradivari (Cremona, 1644-1737).
Listen to this brilliant musician tell you his amazing personal journey from how the sound of this violin was a mere scratch at first, then how the violin demanded to be played with delicacy on his D string, to finally how the Stradivarius can predict tomorrow’s weather just by listening attentively to its sound.
In March 2015, Inmo won the 54th International Violin Competition “Premio Paganini” in Genoa, Italy, marking the first time since 2006 that the Paganini Competition jury awarded First Prize, confirming The Violin Channel’s praise of Inmo as “one of the new generation’s most talented young string virtuosi.” Inmo gave a performance of Paganini’s 24 caprices, recorded live and released under the Deutsche Grammophon label in November 2018.
Inmo Yang has been hailed by the Boston Globe for his “seamless technique and a tender warmth of tone,” combined with "an ability to project an engaging sense of inner sincerity through his playing.”

Went to a concert where this guy played. Absolutely amazing. The sound immediately impressed me.
Is not the instrument , it’s INMO YAN probably one if not the best young violin player…he is exceptional…
2:03 the audience starts laughing but as a violinist and collector of instruments myself I knew exactly what Inmo Yang was saying about the qualities of the violin's tone and at it didn't occur to me that people would laugh.
That's just how we describe our violins guys!
He's speaking the truth. D string haha. Nobody should so casually insult a Strad
Michael Brown I think g string is the hardest to achieve a beautiful sound. I’m just in love with it.
Still pretty funny tho
My teacher broke my g string once
@@wyattt1382 how??
For a second I thought he said ' I precticed 40hs a day'
I practice 69hrs every day
i practice 42 hours a day
he’s not lingling
Hahah.. confirmed, he is not Lingling
Was waiting for ling ling comments
I fell in love with a violin, dated 1918, a year of earthly trouble. This violin fell in love with me, we somewhat became one. It sadly was a lend for some years, but I miss, yet remember what we had together. We had US!
300 year old violin. Still sounds amazing.
He is good speaker with an elegant voice. Would love to hear him in live concert.
Would he be better speaking or fiddling ?
You'd be better for Fart😂@@crustyoldfart
I really enjoy this tedx. Thank you💕
Mellifluous . Thank you for sharing
Sounds amazing! It feels like there is a lot more depth and variations of sounds from this treasure.
인모님 알고리즘에 이끌려 이 영상까지 보게되었어요. 인모니니 연주는 항상 아름답습니다 😍
What an amazingly talented individual and beautiful instrument 😊
Great insightful explanation about the instrument! Thanks for sharing!🎻👏
Always D string is very vital, I don't get the perfect colour on my cello D string, I tune it by make slight adjustment to the bridge eventually breaking the string
멋있어요 ~~ 팬입니다 ^^
1 word-Fascinating, to describe your narrative.
Excellently played
I know now why it's worth alot it brought me to tears for no reason..
It did my heart good to listen to him talk about his Strad. He's telling us that it has its good points and its less good points. By extension playing any violin becomes a conversation between the player and his instrument. Reading between the lines of what he actually says, as a former would-be fiddler myself, I think he was hinting that his instrument is " delicate " - it does not liking playing to a large audience but prefers a private conversation with the player.
This is really a very good instrument. The sound is not harsh but very creamy instead, specially in heights. Overall it is an extremely balanced and full of harmonics violin. Excellent dynamic and articulation. Not each Stradivarius is as good as this one.
Yeah I agree, it's like each sound of Strad is based on the name of the strad :)
BRAVISSIMO!!!
Love you much..you're saying beautifully.
Ohh my this kiddo! Love him!
The violin has got to be one of if not the most beautiful sounding musical instrument.
Basically the imperfection is the perfection.
He is flexing in so many ways.
Thank you
One thing I immediately noticed is that the strad has a cleaner sound. It kinda has a mellowy, compact tone but able to project well. I noticed it also has less reverb, tho I'm not sure if it's just the venue or it's from the violin.
That’s the fact that it’s recorded with a mic intended for voice recording
He is also mellow...probably he will look to produce a mellow sound on the violin as well! He plays like he's talking to the violin!
❤love it
Hello two set Violin Fans 😁
sanada merhaba
@@muhammetsahin9997 🤣 sagol
Hey a ling ling wannabe this side
He is a Master!
A nice description and a lot of thoughts I can relate to. I have no idea, what the audience laughed about. That being said, I would expect another type of violin to fit his style of playing (looking back 3-4 years ago, now of course he adjusted perfectly) better, but I also am sure, he is the one to make the judging about this matter.
The D is slang for D**k! So when he said I’ve never seen such an attractive D... it’s kinda immaturely funny ;) You’re welcome 😊
Bravo
Heaven ❤️
Wow
I don’t doubt modern violins are made to a higher standard and the difference in sound may be imperceptible even to experts. But the fascination to me is that in 300 years nobody has really managed to create something better. It’s the same argument my dad believes with guitars. The best fenders and les Paul’s have barely changed since the 1950s, and I think in a world of built in obsolescence and continual technological advancement this is a wonderful thing and they deserve to be celebrated.
There's something with the wood. The Stradivarius instruments were made from wood that grew during the little ice age. The lower temperatures and low sunlight during this period caused the trees to grow only in very small amounts each year. This made the growth rings very small and as a result the wood abnormally dense. That density is what gives the instruments their sought after character and rich sound. They cannot be duplicated because it's just not possible to get wood of the same density today.
yea, wow, amazing sound!!
A great musician, is the one that discover what makes the instrument special, and yea, the boy figured it out!
200 iq
cheers mate
That violin sounds smooth as butter but when I play, it sounds like someone is attacking your ears
This instrument brings me to tears when played well.. not that I know enough to say it's played well but my emotion may the qualifier...?
If it brings tears to your eyes, what more needs to be said ?
It certainly may. That's the whole point anyway.
I want brett n eddie reaction on this 😊
I'm not sure but I don't think anyone has mentioned Russian Reversals in regards to the title (because I see a connection between the 2).

thanks
Anyone have a good recording (apart from this, obviously) of the piece that he played at the end (at 4:33)??
What a nutty sound I can't describe it differently 😆
With the d string 🤣
4:32 inmoyang violin😍
Practised 4 hours a day
Lingling: 4hours a day tsk tsk i do 40hours a day
"I practice 10 times more than you! What an amateur"
Stradavarius was and is a genius not only in laying out his instruments in ways he only could form and tweak not only they're looks woods strings but allso just importantly the formula of the varnish used.Allso l put out here somehow someway he painstakingly was able to formulate the varnish in such a way probably in soaking the entire 🎻 cutouts to where the Stradavarius sound was ingrained in his violins after dry time. Well this is only my take and reasoning.Varnish somehow diluted to a point where it entered all of wood at soaking.
Isn't all that like saying to a photographer - you have a great camera, so you are guaranteed to take great pictures.
4 hours a day isn't enough to be a good Lingling.
If I said all players are lacking, would they get better with practice?
@@jimtimmins1119 you must practise 40 hours every day.
@@yodoodler5951 bUt ThErE aRe OnLy TwEnTy FoUr HoUrS iN a DaY
7hours ?
There are so many wooooshes here lmao
TwoSet approves
from gujarat
Eh wood and string/tensioner art
Strad always fulfills your expectations
Nope. You only say that because it's labled with strad. Modern-made violins are better than strad.
It's always because of placebo
@@leronlabrais1962 I would appreciate it a new made violin beats strad but you know what . There is a beauty in classical music which always make you to thank life
It's not relevant to the topic.
@@leronlabrais1962 yes but some strad made history like the one with niccolo paganini
Or the on with Dimitri kluger or the one with lord Loui the 14 list much relevant to the get the aura of such great history
what's the name of this piece?

@@jamegumm thank you very much
👍🏽👍🏽🥀❤️🔥🥀
1:00 my violin does the same thing!! how about that?
out of content, his lips are soo beautiful 😍
First I found out that I was holding the stick wrong or not sideway then I found out I got on the wrong side of the neck? Then I found out what the powder was about: amino acids from amber and horse hair manure, activated by friction, ladies and gents.
Ahahhaha allergic to pressure and not in humit of dry environment. Oh what a great soloist omg
I don't think Inmo yang was trying to make a joke about the d string lol
LING LING CAN PLAY WITH ANY PRESSURE
Just imagine if you accidentally drop the 300 year old violin.
Placebo violin talks to you there I fixed the headline for you.
I super agree with this lol
Why did the audience laugh when he said 'D' string? He only means the string right? Right?
Yes, if you squeeze them they feel pressured.
Looks like audience knows another string
Ling ling practices 4 hours per hour
the China-divari sound the same from the ipad
4 hours a day? Lingling does 40
40 hours a day would have helped
又一个既炫富又炫技...
I don’t understand he has Stradivarius violin and he chooses very basic melody. I don’t why didn’t choose for us Bach or Beethoven.
The most expensive violin!!!! There are only 600+ left
You guys only say good things about this violin because it's labeled with stradivarius. In reality, modern-made violins are better than strad. And one more thing, even a professional violinist can't distinguish if it's a strad or not.
The name is Stradivari, not Stradivarius!
4 hours of practice a day? That’s just a tenth of what you should be
Yeah you get more articulations with a Stradi
cómo me encabrita la cantante del anuncio😠😠😠, canta con la boca llena de comida 🤢🤢🤢
Me: “Just shut up & play Eruption already.”
Sounds like a $20k violin....lol
Agree haha
ah, another asian
Talk to much. And lesspractice
*No matter what this Chinese says, never in history will a Chinese or a Japanese make a violin like the Stradivari.*
Its not about where a maker comes from in the world but his or her persistence to make instruments like Stradivari, & some grace that solutions will make themselves know 🙏🏿
