Why My First Violin Fell Short Next to My Student’s!

In this video, I review my first violin and compare it to one made by one of my students. When I built my first violin, I didn’t have a real mentor, just a friend who gave me a few tips. My student, on the other hand, had my guidance every step of the way, and the difference in quality is remarkable. Watch to see why their first violin turned out better than mine, and why having an experienced mentor can make all the difference in creating a great instrument!
You don’t have to come to Cremona or seek advice from violinmakers in person anymore. Thanks to my Violinmaking Academy, you can now learn how to build your own violin from the comfort of your home. Be sure to check out my academy for more details!

I saw people often criticize their previous self or their early makes. That's all fine, but just remember that without these, you wouldn't be the one you are today. Cheers!

I agree. Looks great.

Everyone starts somewhere, if it was easy you wouldn't need master craftspeople.

I’m an Erhuist but I enjoy expanding my knowledge of stringed instruments, my dream is to make an Erhu by myself with European wood and deerhide, I’m so glad for this insight

Very interesting video, thank you! It is important for serious violin buyers to identify those details that make a great scroll, or arching.

Real fortune is to have you as your master! 😅

Edgar, you must be kinder to yourself! Your first violin looks much better than my first. :)

It's not about how good your first is, it's about how much better your second was 😉

If becoming a maker were a goal I probably would do online, make an instrument or 2 if the first is bad, then go for in person leaning with more expensive material. There is the 100 and 1000 hour rule with challenges mixed in, you put 100 hours in you are at least a C student if you have average intelligence and interest in the subject, you reach 1000 hours you are an advanced armature well beyond someone who takes a class or 2 in the subject. A profession who puts 5 hours a day 300 days a year (1500 hours a year) in and will be quite good if they regularly evaluate and challenge themselves for 5 years. Putting 100 or 500 hours in before you sit down and get serious avoids going down a road you are not that interested in just a hobby, and you hit the ground running and start concentrating on details or challenges while you put your first 1000 hours in

Better start directly in person, online/videos are a pretty bad way to learn violin making. There are many violin makers who offer courses/workshops to build your own instrument where you do around half of the work in 3-6 weeks for a couple thousand bucks, that's much much more worth it than any online violin making course.

Your online violin making academy is unfortunately really overpriced. One could spend weeks doing a course/workshop with a live violin maker for that price, with live advice and feedback. I don't believe videos are the best or even a good way to teach violin making.
