@rustyreese4006 Год назад

I agree with that assessment. I'm not a violin player at all but tone is very important to me when I buy guitars. Tone can also be very subtle. From what we get sound wise in this video, the #4, and #5 were my favorites. But what really never comes through in video is how it feels in the hands while playing, and that is the best point to start from for me personally.

I picked #5 too. It's like the richer you are, the less you get for what you pay for. Spending $10 million for $200,000 worth of violin and the rest is just to brag that you can spend an extra $9,800,000 for nothing.

@samuelhugo3387 Год назад

thats probably because Number One best is usaully placed there by the maximus snobs and usually follows all the snob rules and construction to the maximum (weather or not its actually better) and thus second best that gets there by less snobisms includes more inovations but snob opions keep it #2

@o2mar528 Год назад

When I started, my teacher told me to rent a good violin instead of buying a cheap one (until I knew I liked violin and wanted to invest in a better one). It was a really good advice because you would get less results on a bad violon and I don't know if I would have kept the motivation to learn.

@ania5690 Год назад

I'm a violinist and was super curious to see if I'd be able to recognize the "best" violin. I placed the first three violins correctly, but I kept being uncertain about #4 and #5. There are probably a few factors here which we can't recognize as listeners, regarding the playability. Rob talked a lot about how it felt to play #4, how the instrument wanted to give back a lot, and I think this is something that only the player can percieve best. To me, #5 sounded nicer than #4, but that's only half of the violin's personality. The other half is how it connects with the player. So I'm curious if I would still have ranked #4 above #5, if I had the opportunity to play it, myself 🤔

@bobbiemiles-foremaniii8747 Год назад

@Santhosh-jn2xw 8 месяцев назад

Hi Ania, similar assessment here, I also preferred the brighter tones of 5/Gagliano and would use it to play something like the Sibelius violin concerto, but 4/Strad when I went back and listened and compared just the last 2 violins, the Strad def had some attitude and grit, i can't really explain but it had a unique sound which set it apart from the rest. It's too bad they didn't have a Guarnerius violin to compare which has some deep tones on the G and soars on the E and it has the ability to project like 1/DiMateo violin

@benji8845 6 месяцев назад

To me #4 and #5 were the best and from personal preference I like the sound of #5 better, But Stradivarius violins are thought to really sing in the higher ends producing a "silvery tone" which was what made the difference in my ear

I was surprised to find that my favorite sounding violin of the bunch #3 was the $450 student grade. Second favorite was #5. I honestly didn't like how dark the $10m strad sounded, but #2 was so obviously the cheap amazon one. This makes me feel better about buying a $700 Schuster&Co as my first violin. If I had spent any more $$$ the difference in sound would probably go unnoticed by me. I'm thinking this will last me for a long long time, if not for life

Plus I can use the leftover 9.9 million to buy a nice house to keep my instrument in.

I'm not a musician, but an audiophile who has been to live symphony concerts. I got them mostly in order, except for the top 2, I had reversed. I noticed the Strad's rich vibrant tone, but preferred the expressive voice-like dynamic tone of the $100k instrument, although I can see where ti would depend on taste and what kind fo music you are playing and what kind of emotion you want to express.

@DimitriosCharalampidis Год назад

I've never touched a violin in my life, I am not a musician, but I was able to arrange those violins by price. To be honest, I wasn't sure whether the Stradivari is the 4th or the 5th, but the 4th sounded slightly better to my ears so I picked that one. Also, their difference is not so apparent in the first song. At least it wasn't for me.

It's because it sounds better with the high notes (which a violin is most known for) while the 10M violin shines in the lower notes. Also it's more expensive because it's rare. Supply and demand. Not purely because of its quality. The way he's playing the strad could also be affected by him being more careful because it's so expensive and as he said, he was quite nervous just holding it.

I don't play instruments but two things stood out: one on the Amazon one, and one on the Stradivari. The Amazon one sounded like it was "nervous". It just sounded to me like it was very stiff for something that is supposed to be made of a warm tonal wood. The Stradivari just looked the part. The second it showed up, it just looked like it had some age behind it, and it was the sort of age that would be very difficult to replicate.
