    Firstly you made them both sound lovely. I listened through my good quality desktop speakers to get the best sound. They both sound fantastic, to me in some parts your violin sounded better in other parts the Holstein sounded better. Overall I'm leaning towards yours though as like me old and matured has got to be better. You should buy the Holstein it would make you a fantastic back-up instrument.

    Thanks for the comparisons, I watched (and listened to them all). There's certainly a difference but nothing beats actually playing the violins, to appreciate the difference. All the best.

    They are both beautiful sounding .. What blew me away was YOUR playing. Watching your violin tutorials a few years ago and they were great but I never did see how beautifully you actually played .. WOW you did them both justice Thank you for the comparison

    The BENCH PLOWDEN sounds nice though but The Antique Violin Resonates more and vibrates better. Thats all❤️

    You make every instrument sound great🌹🌹 The older the spruce the sweeter the sound. I buy antique violins and lput them back into playing condition just picked up a Maginni such a beautiful instrument, I have one crack to repair. I noticed the treble f hole is high like a Stainer the bass f hole normal.🤔 I'm certain it will sound wonderful. Thanks Allison. Remember most every one is a replica just as we are, what matters is the sound we make when we play 🗡️

    I love them both, but the antique one has a darker tone. As another proud owner of an antique German violin, I can say that the antique one really sings!

    I guess I am lucky I still have the original neck on my viola. Does anyone know how many baroque viola necks are out there? My appraiser informed me that baroque necks in general are few and far in between, in single digits if I understand, violins included.

      Yes - thats the point and why i made the video. For a modern made violin, its very close to an antique one - just a little different sounding, but no 2 violins will ever sound the same anyway.

    @sjp8201 4 роки тому +2

    The antique violin wood has aged obviously which would lend a different sound. In the acoustic guitar world, the aged/older one will have a sweeter sound. My 35 tear old beginner guitar sounds much more resonant now. Probably the same with you violin. Good video 👍

    Hi Alison. I’m finding myself in a pickle. All I am wanting g to focus on is open strings but I cannot find sheet music. I downloaded book 1 and it does not appear to be for a violin. I also subscribed to the Patreon page and this seems way out of my league but will leave the subscription going as incentive for my hard work. Where can I find sheet music to assist me? Everything book I’ve bought, though for beginners, seems to start off well and then jump me into confusion.

    for public playing as a concert soloist i would chose the german violin because it is a bit louder, but for all around playing i would chose the fiddlerman because it is more round in sound and doesn't have the edge of being strident on the higher notes. both are very good violins.

      There’s no difference between a lambo and Toyota then. Many people can tell the difference who have experience. Her violin has a story going back many years, and was made a more masterful violin maker, so comepared by that it’s value will naturally me higher. So don’t go calling violinists snobs for appreciating an amazing violin more than an an advancing player instrument.

      If by snob, you mean someone that appreciates the history of an instrument then some of us will own our snobbery. I have a greater appreciation for my two 100 year old Gibson mandolins, my 1947 Gibson archtop guitar, my 150 year old French violin and my 100 year old Saxony violin than any of my newer Chinese instruments exactly because they survived their travel through time as well as their tremendous voices. Yep, I'm snobby as Hell.
