My Modulator arrived last week...a WONDERFUL piece of technology. I live 300 feet above sea level on the west coast of Scotland and the Krentz performs just as promised.
Thanks for doing this review of my dads Modulator! If you watch his video titled "finer points" you'll see that the placement is very different then the German absorber. You might try placing it below the widest point of the lower bout. The video can tell you more.
Hello son of Krentz! My teacher Nabi introduced me to the modulator and I thus have told me studio (selling over 10 worldwide in 1 year) - would love to interview your father - could he send me an email please ??
Hey ! Thanks for the video ! This Krentz device seems awesome, 150$ though, I am wondering if I could basically get a similar result making my own with a pair of magnets and some felt stick to it. At least to get rid of the wolf note.
I thought with the magnet system your tone retained it's brightness on the problem notes, the resonator seemed to make the tone dull and lower in volume on those notes
Also the lupus X which is glued on to the belly of the cello is great but as you said people need to look out for if you change your tailpiece the position of the sound post and sometimes switching from a French to a Belgian Bridge also very rarely Different Strings can change or increase the wolf tone for example I had a string set which actually changed the wolf by a whole step which again which is why I love the krentz due to the user-friendly nature of it and as a cello player it is not uncommon for us to try different tailpiece has different strings different Bridges and sound post positions
Hi Jonathan, I'm curious where you managed to pick up your Krentz Eliminator in the EU, or did you order it from the States? I was hoping to get one over here rather than have to order international.
Thank for those vids Jonathan Did you see the last Video of maestro Edgar Russ where he changes a bridge of an older Cello and while checking the new sound they decided to remove the wolftone eliminator. Does that work because of the new bridge. I might should ask Edgar but it just came to my mind now.
Strings, the bridge, tail piece and sound post all can change the position of the wolf as well as how loud or soft it is, many times an eliminator will be removed from a cello to hear what it sounds like, sometimes wolf eliminators change or dampen the sound of our cello So to hear what the cello sounds like naked is usually what we do, then add back wolf elim
Yeah, lorentz. It works quite well for me too. Would you consider doing more video about the tonal adjustment aspect of it as well. Dr Krentz says that by moving it to different position, beside controlling how much wolf note is being controlled, the instrument may response differently, i.e. quicker response on C, more volume, etc. Your strings definitely look like Perpetual. Silk winding looks like one I just got, but need to see peg end silk to see which version it is. www.pirastro.com/public_pirastro/pages/en/Perpetual-00001/ And may I ask about the measurements of your cello? string length, stop length, back length, upper bout, lower bout, c bout width?
Your cello has a beauty mark now. 💖
It's like King Louis from History of the World Part 1
It looks more like a TICK! lol
I've had the Krentz for almost 2 years now. I find I need to adjust it in the spring and fall, when the humidity changes.

Thanks for sharing ! Reading instructions could be very... instructive though😂
Sorry about that 😅

Great presentation. Definitely worth learning.
Wooo! Have been waiting for this video!!
Also, some cellos need either two regular eliminators or a krentz and a regular. This is rare and often needed on anqitue cellos or newer

Wondering the same, wonder how the sound quality compares

It does, he skipped the instructions on how to properly and effectively use the modulator.
I need this omg my wolf catcher isn't working anymore so hopefully this works

Wow. Why haven't I stumbled upon your channel earlier? Great videos on wolf tones. Thank you so much.
Glad you like them!

I know that not every solution to a problem works for every cello, but I would've been disappointed if this hadn't worked for you. 🙂
I had a pesky wolf tone on my G string. When I switched to a different brand of string, the wolf tone disappeared. Is that possible?
What's this thing looks like. Didn't get a close picture for it.
I‘m distracted by the strings 😁... are these Perpetuals?
Anyways seems like a great solution
Thank for those vids Jonathan
