    Fiddlerman rocks! I wanted to buy a violin from them 2 years ago and when I described my climate conditions to them they told me that a wooden instrument would not work for me and to get a carbon fiber violin, which they didn't even sell. They could have just tried to sell me anything just to make a buck, but they were totally honest and gave me great advice even though it cost them a $3,000 sale.

    Beautiful sound!!! I am playing now on the violin my father bought around 1955 in Salzburg, where he was studying at the Academy of Arts. He wanted to have a violin and went to a small shop runned out by an old woman called "Frau Geige". But he never played the violin seriously and it ended up hanging on the wall in the living-room. My whole happy childhood it was staring at me, but I played piano so I never freed the instrument from the wall. 2,5 Years ago, when I was 45 years old, I went with my parents and husband to the Concertgebouw in Amsterdan to hear violinist Joshua Bell playing. He drove the sound of his Strad right into my heart. It looked so easy! A wish bubbled up. One week later I took my first violin-lesson. My father gave me his old violin and it finally got the right care, new strings and other components. The lessons went so well! Still I enjoy practicing every day and my dad was so extremely proud on me! Last year again I went with my parents and husband to the Concertgebouw Amsterdam. We had such a great time. But two weeks later my daddy passed away completely unexpected. The Concertgebouw ended up to be the last place where I saw my dad happy and healthy. His violin means so much to me. It is a connection to my happy childhood and the loving rememberence of my dad. So I will never, never give up this violin!!! But my playing is improving and I need another violin to sustain my technique. I am not rushing for another instrument but my teacher is encouraging me to find a more appropriate instrument for my level. So this Fiddlerman can be a good next step on my stairscase! (BTW: last summer after the concert I had the privilege of talking with Joshua Bell for some minutes. I told him how he inspired me to start playing the violin and he loved my story, had some good advices and wrote some nice sentences in my homework-book)

    Thank you Zlata. I've been a follower of Fiddlerman since Pierre first started his community online. It's the best place for beginning players to get advice and support from peers, and plenty of worldwide members to play along with in the projects. Your channel has been one of my best inspirations in learning to play. I love the way professional musicians review instruments of lower cost (and quality?), so those of us who can't afford the best can still afford something good.
    Thanks again, and congratulations to Pierre for having you rate his violin so highly.

    I've been playing on one of these since September, and have been very impressed. Compared to my previous Cecilio starter violin (which, to be fair, cost less than a third of its price), the major improvements with the Concert are a) you can get a lot more sound out of the G string, and b) probably because of its thinner finish, it seems to resonate more - in particular, it's much easier to identify the "ring tones" on this instrument. Obviously, I don’t need to enter this giveaway…but, if you have a low-cost starter violin and are looking to upgrade, I think _you_ should.

    Hi Zlata, hahah het begin van deze video is weer hilarisch en zoo herkenbaar helaas. Het is echt zo waardevol dat je regelmatig product reviews doet zodat je het echt goed kan horen en je op deze manier de juiste beslissing kan nemen. Zelf huur ik momenteel nog een instrument omdat ik de keuze ook zo lastig vindt, zeker aangezien ik een beginner ben en dus echt minimaal verschil hoor tussen verschillende violen. Ik weet nu in ieder geval dankzij deze video dat ebony hout een must is voor een mooie klank. Thanks! :)

    I have a degree in Jazz Performance and actually did a gig with a violin player who had the Fiddlerman Artist and I commented how his technique and sound were great...He said, "ya I got a new violin to mainly gig with and its the Fiddlerman Artist. He said, basically it was all set up and he just used his own bow. but he was very impressed by the quality of the violin for the price point...Jump forward a few years and my daughter took up the violin and I got her the Fiddlerman Concert 3/4 and she used it from 6th grade through 12grade. I offered to get her a more advanced instrument when she grad from high school and went to college but she wanted another Fiddlerman Concert this time in a 4/4. I asked her why another Fiddlerman Concert? She said, "Well I would put my Concert up against some of my classmates whos instruments cost soooo much more and mine sounded as good or better"....so I can attest these are GREAT violins for the beginner as well as the intermediate player

I'm a complete and absolute beginner however I'm extremely eager to learn and having a lesson each week...

    Wonderful (and comical) review! I have eyed Fiddlerman violins many times. Playing violin had been my lifelong aspiration but I always put off making the purchase and going for it....having children, I just always seemed to spend the money on something I felt they would want or need. That and discouraging remarks from family and friends (Them: Do you even know how to play the violin? Me: Of course not, I've never had one! Them: You can't learn violin online, you need personal lessons. Me: If I ever get one, I bet I do learn online!) For Christmas, my oldest son surprised me with my first violin! Of course, it is a student violin but I love it and because of sentimentality will probably be buried with it (haha) but it has finally given me the drive to get started playing the violin. Can't wait for the day I am able to evoke the beautiful sounds that you do from the violin (and hopefully this one!)

They’ve got a really good program: all kids learn an instrument, but unfortunately there is a shortage of good quality instruments. My stepson got a replacement instrument just before the holiday concert (his was in rough shape), and when he brought it out to show me I noticed the bridge was installed backwards and it was strung incorrectly on the wrong pegs...so I fixed it myself. 😁

    I have various violins and a viola and an electric violin 🎻. My most valuable one is a David Teckler as ot is inscribed inside new the sound post. Alas I took it to a violin dealer in London after examined it he discovered a crack only offering 1000 pounds for it. I decided not to sell it as I remain sceptical what violins are worth. I think the player is responsible how beautiful a violin can sound. Certain players feel more comfortable with a certain type of violin 🎻. I believe the more you play it the tone will become more sweeter. Adam Beanstock

      Exactly and the worth for a maker is something entirely different than what an instrument is worth to an individual if it's a good fit. My current violin sounded horrible in the beginning, because it wasn't played for half a century.

    Your UA-cam videos are always great. I especially enjoyed your bow review. I would like to see a review and comparison of Ifstrings (Infinite Strings) violins (which I believe are "benchmade") to Fiddlerman/Holstein violins, and have violins at about a compatible price to Fiddlerman/Holstein violins. Fiddlerman workshop vs Ifstrings Master, and Fiddlerman "benchmade" to Ifstrings Private Stock. Probably asking way too much, but you asked.
