    I received an Artist this week and I do agree with everything you said. The tone IS very rich and deep (I also made request for them to send me that type, anyway). The action compared to my Cecilio-CVN500 is lower and thus WAY better. I love all the accessories and I can't wait to experience playing it in the future years!

    Hi! Greatings from Sweden...I`ve only just started as an adult beginner but really love playing the violin and plan on going the distance without aiming for a place in an orchestra. I`ve bought a Gewa Allegro set for about 480$ and have already been feeling like it`s not going to be a violin that i will want to be playing on for too long.
    I know I`m really at the beginning but i wonder if the Fiddlerman Artist or any other violin that`s actually for intermidiate players could be something for me despite just starting out. I know i won`t get as much as someone who is further along but can it help me improve anyway since the quality,sound and built is so much better. I`ve also looked at the Stentor Arcadia, Frans Sandner black lady and the Hidersine violins. I really like a rich, warm sound but without to much compromise on clarity. Any advice?
    Since the custom fees are a prbolem when shipping fron the US i`m looking for someone Europe based but not sure if Thomann, which is where these violins are, is the place to go for a violin. I hope for an answer even though it`s been a long time since the video.

    For anyone interested, I just worked out the additional cost of shipping one to the UK. You'd be looking at paying 20% VAT on the cost of the instrument including the shipping cost, plus 3.2% import duty. The courier may also levy a charge for dealing with this.

    Thank you for teaching me everything what has to do with violins.
    I have a question. Could you please clarify this? You often say "you will eventually need to upgrade your violin".
    I assume one must upgrade as they improve as a player over time. But I mainly ask this regarding Fiddlerman violins. Will these violins not diminish with their quality over time like cheap violins such as the Cecilio's? I always thought that violins improve their sound the more you play it.

    • @TheOnlineViolinTutor
      @TheOnlineViolinTutor  2 роки тому +3

      Ok well if your starting out with say a more student violin ($250 for example), then that will last you for a good few years, but as you start to get really skilled, you’ll just find the violin won’t cut it.
      This would be true of any student level violin around this price point. Fiddlerman, Cecilio etc etc. same applies pretty.
      These are a must for beginners however as they will not hinder your learning like the really cheap ones do.
      You’ll know that it is YOU who needs to improve - and not that the violin is holding you back in any way.
      However… if you go straight in with a much higher end violin say, closer to the $1,000 mark, then that will do you until the end of time (you know what i mean lol)… or, until you just feel you want a different flavour.
      I should add that the FM violins are good ones to start with and will last you a good old while - and you’ll just ‘know’ when it’s time to upgrade.
      The Cecilios for example are not as good at the same price point as they are manufactured on a larger scale compared to the FM violins that have been individually tailored and hand checked etc etc.
      They are more thought out (even their student ones) as that’s their mo.
      Hope that answers your question?

      Dont bother with Cecilio violins. I reviewed them all way back in about 2014 and there are a lot better violins on the market now. Cecilios are mass factory produced with very little bespoke set up - which you would absolutely expect for a violin such as the 700. I would go for something like the Fiddlerman violins any day now as they are much better made, thought out and set up.

    @johannjcqs5270 5 років тому

    Hello, I have 2 questions :
    1) Is the Artist louder than the Concert violin ? In your review of the concert one, you said that it was pretty loud. Since I'm mostly playing in my flat, I tend to be respectful of my neighbours, so I'm kinda hesitating.
    2) When you did this review, the retail price was $589, now it is $664, do you know why it increased ? Better quality, sound ?
    Thank you in advance for your answers ! Keep posting content, I really like it !

    • @TheOnlineViolinTutor
      @TheOnlineViolinTutor  5 років тому +5

      1. the Concert is by FAR the loudest and I would only recommend that one if you like the sound/tone of it or, are looking for some more 'standout' and solo. The Artist in my opinion is the best of the lot as its excellent in tone and playability for the price, so I feel you get the most. That, or the Master if your budget can go that high.
      2. Im afraid I don't know. I would drop the Fiddlerman a quick email and mention the price increase from my video (just so he knows) and ask. He may just say inflation which is perfectly normal for business, or he may say that its had an upgrade - personally, I don't know the answer to that.
      3. you're welcome! :)

      @@TheOnlineViolinTutor Well, to be fairly honest it is not about the cost but more about my own level. Since I'm still a beginner I'm wondering what kind of violin should I get to continue as a Beginner and to enter the intermediate level...
      So about Fiddler shop, I was interested in the Apprentice but I can spend some extra $ if the violin can last me longer. So naturally I was looking at the Concert and Artist ones. I didn't consider the Master because I don't know how close or how far it is from the Artist.
      For me it was more likely to put the Master against the Soloist one in term of comparison.
      Thank you for you advise by the way.

    • @TheOnlineViolinTutor
      @TheOnlineViolinTutor  5 років тому +3

      @@johannjcqs5270 Well as I said, my 2 picks would be the Artist or Master.
      The Artist if your budget is limited and/or you just want a good and decent violin to last you a long time with no thoughts to upgrade. The Artist sits in the middle for price, sound, tone, playability . etc.
      The Master if your budget allows and you just want something really top end because you can and you want to work towards the violin. Sometimes a better violin can push you into being a better player as you wont 'beat' the violin in terms of skill.
      If your violin can be better than you, then you will never grow out of it - if that makes sense.

    • @TheOnlineViolinTutor
      @TheOnlineViolinTutor  3 роки тому +1

      They don't compare. It doesn't work like that as the Cecilio ones are factory made with nothing to them, but the Fiddlerman violins are bespoke made with better quality wood and hand varnished.
      if you want to compare, then the lowest Fiddlerman 'might' compare to the best violin Cecilio has to offer....
      I couldn't say that the CVN600 is similar to the Artist for example, as it is absolutely not in any way similar!
      Take them both as separate violins/brands/companies and choose based on what you want out of a violin.
      Bare in mind that all the Cecilio violins are not great at all and the quality has vastly diminished since I reviewed them about 6-7 years ago.

      It will be worth the wait! I wouldn't bother upgrading anything on your cvn - its a false economy really and wont really make any discernible difference.
      Just upgrade and buy a better violin.
      I would say that as you have the CVN600 - from what I remember (and I could be wrong here as its been 7 years or so since i last played a cvn) the Artist will be more of a side step, not so much an upgrade...It will be better of course, but perhaps not as much of an upgrade as you might be thinking? Perhaps you can 'trial' the Artist before you commit??
