    It's still the Steenson family - we just got a new logo and name. We enjoyed the episode very much. I'm sorry you have had a cold. I am recovering from one myself. I hope you recover from the cold and the bee stings, and that your father recovers from the cataract surgery. The Hebrew minute was from Psalm 83.
    Thank you again for the wonderful episode!

    To lose a precious violin that you perform with. What a schock! Good thing that heaven is close.

    Always enjoy your videos. As for the verse, Tehillim 83:19. (One verse difference for those with a Protestant/Catholic text). תודה רבה

    I don’t normally trust the sound on video channels, or the audio reproduction of my tablet. There are simply too many variables. However the improvement of the 1700s violin sound is beyond doubt, particularly in the lower register. It has a deep, haunting tone. The lucky owner should be astonished at the result of your work. Hopefully you will get some feedback that you can share.

      Yes, you are so right and the fact that I record on a simple video camera, you never know! I appreciate your feedback. Thank you! I hope you have a wonderful week ahead!

    If only Spohr had taken the violin case with him inside the coach! Had to check the spelling of his name, and found that he was the first to use a chin rest. Oh Freddie - it's while they're snoring that you go snooping around!? Cheryl, you are one of the hardest working people ever, so I hope the unscheduled week off helped to get all your molecules re-aligned and back to singing again. Violin sounds beautiful. Shalom.

      Yes! You made me chuckle. I loved all your comments. I will have to keep a better eye on Freddie and a week off was a very nice vacation. I found I was able to tidy up a bit here and there and feel a sense of relief! I definitely did feel those molecules realigning!!! Thank you! Hope you have a wonderful week ahead!

    Happy to hear of your recoveries from all those bee stings and cold! What brand of strings are on the 1700’s violin?

    • @Violinsforu2
      @Violinsforu2  Місяць тому

      Yes! God is good. The violin strings were Tonica with a Gold E. Thank you for commenting and hope you have a great week!

      @@Violinsforu2 Do owners typically request certain brands of string, or do you recommend them? It seems like a lot of new instruments come with Tonicas now. In my day it was Dominants. Advancing students would cure screechy E strings by going to a gold plated (not just gold label) E. (I’ve been out of the loop for some time on these matters.)

      @@markuswx1322 Dominants were always my go to strings and still are especially if the customer wants full volume. Now since strings have become so expensive, I have been using Tonica and Prorate more often. Tonica came out with an improved string and offers the Gold E in the set. Not only is the tone a bit sweeter but it is kinder to the pocketbook. Sometimes the owners will send along the strings that they want used, otherwise, I will recommend dependent on the instrument and the budget. Thanks for asking!

    Bees are not normally violently aggressive. What caused the incident?

    • @Violinsforu2
      @Violinsforu2  Місяць тому

      The cause of the incident started when the wind blew the beehive over. Not thinking, I threw on my coat and ran out to set it up. I should have put my bee gear on. Thanks for asking and hope you have a wonderful week!
