This violin has a most wonderful sound. The tone is clear, but with depth of quality. It's very pleasing to listen to. I see that you are smiling as you play it too. To me this indicates that it must be very responsive and easy to get the sounds that you want without a struggle. This was a very enjoyable video, thanks for sharing it.
It is bonkers how great that violin sounds. So full and clear and gorgeous. I love listening to great violins in videos like yours. I have excellent speakers but it's still very hard to make a great comparison as there are so many variables in everybody's recordings. I can say that this is definitely one of my favorites I've ever heard. Everything about its sound was very satisfying. And beautifully played, too!
Isn't it a powerhouse?? I love this violin too- Guadagnini's sound is so amazingly different from a lot of the other instruments we've looked at. It's crazy how much the sound evolves over the years, and the quality of sound all these luthiers were looking for! Glad you enjoyed the video! :)
aTonal Hits- I have been very close listening to a 1754 and a 1755 Guadagninni, and one was played by a platinum blond violinist from Norway, whose name escapes me now, but it was one of the darkest violins I ever heard, and it was not muddy in the least. As far as tool marks, I’ll take them any day on a great violin over these competition perfectly symmetrical sterile looking creations that they judge students by. The del Gesu F holes that don’t perfectly line up serve a specific purpose, and that is projection. The graduations are not symmetrical, either from top to back or the plates themselves. It’s good to have purfling done cleanly, places where it counts, but when the artist is following his or her muse, the mind works quicker that the hands! Those little imperfections to me are more precious than the pseudo-antiquing that this generation seems to think is so essential. Go for the tone!
My teacher, Jacques Israelievitch, had a gorgeous Guadinini. The varnish on the one you played looks like it might even have been a revarnish. The varnish on Jacques' instrument was GORGEOUS transparent golden orange "cremonese" style. Tone was incredible.
This is one of my favorite UA-cam channel. Very well constructed and informative like a documentary in short form. I wish I had my own channel to advertise this channel for my subscribers.
Haha, that's so sweet! Well, you don't need a channel to advertise our channel, but word of mouth and just sharing works just as well! Thank you so much for sticking with us :)
Thank you so much for watching! For us, we're amazed we have as many followers as we do. It was a struggle for years to get up to 200! So if you're enjoying the content, it would be amazing if you could spread the word a bit, on social media etc.! Every little bit helps :)
@@aTonalHits I don't recall getting any notifications of your newly posted videos for the last month or two. Perhaps I just missed them, or maybe something is wrong with the UA-cam algorithm regarding your site. Might be worth looking into. I also like your site very much.
I don’t play the violin but I love the history and craftsmanship of the instrument and I appreciate the talent and hard work it takes to make it sound as beautiful as you do. Thank you and I will be searching for your material from now on
I have used a Guadagnini model 1754 for many of my violins...they all sound..big. Wasn't he locked to a bench late in his life for debts owed..and forced to build for some rich patron.?.that instrument shows the earmarks of a luthier who did not care anymore and was defeated..wow ..just heard thunder outside! I identify with Guad as an award winning master luther who was robbed and blackballed by one of the pivotal violinmakers in Utah in 1989... I was awarded the Canada Council Award for Violinmakers in 1988 but was kept from getting long term employment..a bit of an involuntary musical mendicant. If you are ever in Calgary, Alberta, come by and see some of my 60 instruments. Today I went metal detecting...retired and loving it.
I agree! It is a powerhouse. That and the Magini both have volume. That is good. She sounded crying and hurt very expressive. You truly are gifted . I new a girl in high school with a voice like that! It's scarey! Wonderfully played Kath! The Hamlet is there in that instrumwnt.1😢
What's amazing isn't that you two good people have almost 1000 subscribers. What's amazing is that you have only almost 1000 subscribers. This series is superb, entertaining, inspirational and informative!
I am so happy I stumbled across your channel! This series around instruments is phenomenal, the historic details you go into, your beautiful playing, storytelling... Love, love love! Thank you for bringing this to youtube and please continue getting your hands on as many instruments as you can xxx Side note, what is your houseplant with the fern-like leaves? It's beautiful.
Thank you so much for listening! We're so glad you enjoy it :) That plant! We just had to google it lol- I think it's related to the surinam powder puff? We bought it as a literal twig ten years ago, and it grew into a lovely little tree! It's quite hardy, which is great too!
Even though I played classical guitar & lute, I love the violin & it's music. But more importantly, I find the history of these luthiers fascinating. It's like reading biographies of famous writers & composers....these instruments are their words & compositions! And your infectious enthusiasm, knowledge & virtuosity bring them to life. I wonder if other classical instruments have the same sort of lineage? I am sure listeners would find these presentations fascinating.
String instruments are lovely in that they often have such an interesting history, and can survive for many hundred years! Pianos, for example, don't have this luxury, for many reasons- and they also don't necessarily age well! But we'll be delving into historical keyboard instruments when we have the chance :)
I love Guadagnini's violins. They resemble Strad in the incredible workmanship but the model is somewhere in between Strad and Del Gesu. I wonder why so few solist use them, Pekka Kuusisto and Tasmin Little plays one, but the most famous Guadagnini is perhaps David Garrett's smached one... :O
You know, that's a funny thing- Guadagnini's violins really aren't played as much as Strads or del Gesus! I would guess it has something to do with the name- it's just not quite as big. But his later violins pack a hell of a punch- I read somewhere that the later violins are preferred by Americans more, and Europeans like the earlier instruments. Which I thought was a bit of an odd statement, and have absolutely no proof to back up. But I'm here to get Guadagnini back into favor!! :)
Jascha Heifetz had a 1741 Guadagnini. Arthur Grumiaux also had a Turin period Guadagnini which Joseph Silverstein later performed on in the Boston Symphony and as a soloist. The best Guadagninis I’ve tried, are every bit as good as the Strads and Guarneris I’ve tried. Thank you for the very informative video!
My new fav channel. Love it, love the talk and history as well. What strings are on the violin? (green/blue and white ones). I'm thinking they already strung by the custodians etc..
Also as a guitarist i can testify that as a Guitar gets older it definitely sounds richer , this is why 1950s Les Pauls or 1960s Fender Stratocasters are so coveted by musicians in the Guitar community , I wish i could play violin but it seems very complicated compared to playing the guitar.
As always, truly inspirational video which is very much like class. The Good Count Salabue was wanting a more Stradivari Form from Guadagnini with the provosion of the inside molds, tools and drawings from Stradivari, The Greatest Violin Maker In The Neighborhoods' Shop, but Guadagnini only asserted his own style evermore. Owning two of those great late viola copies with the wood modes style tuning of the back and belly are rather small, yet very easy bowing because like before in the 1740's and 1750's Guadanini accessing finer quality woods was not possible there. Having these decades of experience with inferior woods gave him results to this day with modern performance an almost prejudice towards Guadagninis' days with The Count. Guarneri del Gesu used woods which were dendracronologically dated 50 to 80 years aged prior to del Gesu creating hid glorious violins as well. So conclusions maybe drawn from this that Guadagnini received the wood that would accentuate the ideas he could contribute to the world of music then and what we have handed down unto us from the ages past. Very interesting is to note that eBay seller old-luthier-violin sells there 80 years aged Italian and Romanian woods on his violins, violas and violoncellos which are as absolutely historic for there great beaty and tonecolours and resonance immediately under your chin.
This is fascinating, about the woods being aged prior to their use in making the instruments. It makes a ton of sense! Honestly, I hadn't given a ton of thought to the species of wood, the grain, age etc. until we started making these videos. And I find that commenters like you are only helping me to understand even more about the process! Thank you!
It would be interesting to see an episode on the comparison of violins made in Brescia vs. Cremona. Are there unique structural differences that can be heard in the tone? Do players prefer one over the other for certain types of music- G.P. Maggini for early music vs Strad/Guarneri for later periods? Why did the center of violin making moves from Brescia to Cromona?
That is Ysaye's Sonata No. 3, Ballade. A totally brilliant piece if you haven't heard it! We just released it in our new album- music.apple.com/us/album/early-light/1500137534 Thanks for watching!
I look forward to your videos and simply love these studies in comparison from various makers. I most recently tried out a J.B. Guadignini, and unfortunately it does not posses the sound that his father was able to create. Though very attractive and made in 1793, it was not nearly as sweet and bright as the Anselmo Bellosio that I tried along with it. Apparently Bellosio's violins are rare, as he had a very short career. I would love to see what you think of his instruments if you can find one to feature in one of your videos. I did purchase the Anselmo Bellosio, labelled and dated 1783 in Venice. Once again, thankyou for all of your work in this area, and your playing is out of this world!!! Very Sincerely, Gary Simkins from Toronto, Canada.
Gah how did I miss this video??? Fantastic series, as always! You're right, this instrument has quite the power behind it! I've heard the name but, like the Stainer, haven't had much exposure to hearing the instrument itself. In your time with the CHIMEI museum, were there any Francesco Rugeri instruments that you were able to try? I was fortunate to try one out in Japan many years ago and they're fantastically sweet in sound. There's a few videos on UA-cam that capture that quality well so hopefully you can check it out, if you didn't get the chance to try one. Also, just got the album and am listening to it now! Loving it so far! Do you have a non-streaming version in FLAC quality, per chance? I'm a bit of an audio nut always try to get albums in a lossless format for maximum quality.
Hey! So glad you like the album! Let me see if we have it in flac- I'll get back to you on that one! And- you have good taste, I love Rugeri instruments. You're absolutely right, the sound is so sweet and nuanced. We're trying to clean out some of our old footage first before we get to the newer stuff so- it's coming! :)
I like the sound of Guadagnini very much. Loud instruments are so much easier to play than quiet ones, as long as they also respond accordingly when playing softly. It's difficult to get a musically nuanced performance without a wide range in volume. And it's hard to generate any excitement without volume.
I will definitely add that to the growing list of instruments we need to look into! The next time we dig into a collection, we will try to get some footage. I have to say, I'm completely unfamiliar with these instruments, so it will be very interesting!
Oh my goodness, such clarity and power. Maybe my favorite violin so far. Perhaps not quite as focussed as a strad? Would be curious of your opinion. Very beautiful instrument and playing. Thanks.
I think you hit the nail on the head! Guadagnini's are awesome, powerful instruments that I really love playing- but yes, you're right- not quite as focused as the Strads I've done so far!
Hi I have a Joannes Baptista Guadagnini violin 1765. Can you tell me whats its value. It was owned by the Otto Wol(f)fe a Philadelphia orchestra master...handed down by grandfathers.
Ill guess you got the recordings unedited? That would make a good video that you would just let us hear the playing one after the other without talking true it that would be beautifully

Trebled Musician I’m pretty sure your related by sharing a name, and if you think about it we all originate from two humans so...
Salabue had Guadagnini chop the corners of his violins of del Gesu and Stradivarius instruments

What is she playing at 1:29? It's very very beautiful
That is Tzigane by Ravel. Full video here: ua-cam.com/video/ovQyAbqgE7k/v-deo.html
@@aTonalHits thank you so much!!
If I could own any Violin it would probably be a Guadagnini, despite all the great Strads and Del Gesus
Oye, quiero escuchar el violín...!!...
What a pity that such a violin is in museum
How can you tell if a string is dull will it break.
What strings are best for that violin. With one you like I need good strings. Thank you for the video
Gut strings? Made by whom?
Gut strings were everywhere way back when- it was the standard, compared to the steel strings we use now!
how do you get the chance to play all these extravagant instruments?
Who owns this last made Turin based Guadagnini violin?
Ill guess you got the recordings unedited? That would make a good video that you would just let us hear the playing one after the other without talking true it that would be beautifully
I prefer the sound of a viola. They give a richer, deeper tone. The super-prized violins are, in my opinion, too high pitched. They are too bright.

Talk, talk, but 2:50 little playing.
Right - strong, but lack of harmonics IMHO.
