  • In this video, I showcase one of my most unique creations: a violin crafted from 1748 spruce wood! This special wood comes from an old support beam in an Austrian house, which was renovated by a childhood friend of mine. When he discovered the beam, he decided to give it to me, knowing I could turn it into something special. Join me as I share the story behind this extraordinary violin and how a piece of 300-year-old wood has been transformed into a musical masterpiece!
    Meanwhile all the best from Cremona

    Craftsmanship is the main ingredient to making a great sounding instrument. That is made easier by having quality wood to work with. Thanks

    Dear Edgar, I am always happy for a maker, that invested his time to make an instrument not for immediate sale and completed the project.
    Congratulations!

    Was ich daran mag ist die Aussage, dass man aus jeden Stück Holz ein gut klingendes Instrument machen kann. Habe neulich einen ihrer Bässe spielen dürfen, ein wunderbares Instrument!

    I notice at 4:04 that the softer summer growth space between the darker growth rings of the wood on the top are now darker than the normally darker (winter growth) wood.
    If you stain the top with a solution of tea, the natural tannins in the tea will make the darker rings show up appropriately.

    In one of the violas I've seen, there are three bass bars. Can you tell me something about the practice of using multiple bass bars in string instruments

    I'm curious about the difference of "when" the wood ages. Comparing a three hundred year old violin made from a freshly cut tree and a new violin made from a tree cut three hundred years ago.

    What price would put in this violin?

  • @grandhou6547

    Maybe it's my speakers but this violin sounds a bit mellow, maybe too mellow for current preference of violin sound. Probably won't project very well in large setting.

    sorry, I can't watch your videos any more. the way you film this (your face is still and the background moves) makes me too dizzy.
