- This week we are able to get the Holocaust violin set up and played. We also start the task of strengthening the top of a 1700's violin which had 52 cleats in the top. There is also a controversy which is addressed. Freddie has a little chat and there is also an Hebrew Minute. Enjoy!

Thank you for teaching us all about the survivor violin and the history of the Star of David. God bless you in all you do every day.
Thank you for commenting! I appreciate you and hope you have a blessed week!
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! Thanks for your information on the Star of David! God says he will bless those who bless Israel! The Holocaust Violin sounds really good. Can't wait to hear the 1700's violin. Working on two quilts, Freddie! Hope to get them to you soon! Have a great week!
Amen! I am excited to work on that 1700's violin. It has been around for quite some time! Freddie will be so delighted. You have definitely made his day! Thank you for commenting and have a wonderful week!
Thank you for explaining the history of the Star of David. What a neat instrument!
Hi Mike! Thank you for commenting! It was a real pleasure to work on this violin and so much meaning! Hope you have a wonderful week.
your smile and upbeat speaking is so wonderful to listen to, so enjoyable to listen to - the ''tone''' is so rich and full, almost like a viola quality to that violin
Thank you! If only the violin could talk!!! But we will know someday of all that happened! Hope you have a blessed week!
Thank you very much for this video and the others, too! Not just for the excellent instrument restaurations, but also the history, the Hebrew Minute and the Freddy sections. Great work on this Violin of Hope!
Thank you, Leon! I appreciate knowing what you like. Where are you from? I hope you have a wonderful week ahead!
Thank you! I’m from The Netherlands. I was recently given a violin (probably German, early 19th century) that is now being restored. As my violin knowledge is virtually non-existent, I started looking and came across your great channel. Also a great week to you and looking forward to new episodes!
Shalom to all the survivors
Bravo, Cheryl. I was always glad to be one of your subscribers but now you've made me proud as well.
Wow! Thank you, Mr Pinch! That means a lot!
I think the 1700's violin had cleats on the cleats, I've never seen so many. The 'Holocaust Violin' really moves the air! Mr. Freany's 3 console organ is really nice, wow. The varied talents of your subscribers is amazing also. Thanks for sharing another busy week in your violin shop. Stupidicus.
Hi Tim! It is fun to see all the talents out there and interests! I am looking forward to the challenges in that 1700's violin. Thank you for commenting and hope you have a blessed week ahead!
I love that organ !
It is amazing what you can do with technology! Thank you for commenting and I hope you have a wonderful blessed week!
Thank you for saving the violin of hope. It is so beautiful . Our family has a violin that my husband inherited from his grandfather that looks very similar to this violin of hope. It has decorative inlays on the back and the same abalone design on the finger board that the one you restored does. All we know about it is that it was made between 1890s- 1920's, in Germany. It was in really bad shape, and had been played so much that the finger board had deep grooves in it, and pits in the wood from the incredible rosin build up. We had it restored last year and the more it is played, the more beautiful she sounds. I would be interested to see if you might be able to possibly offer more information on this violin. All we know is that it is very possible that another relative may have brought it back from Germany at some point after WWI.
Each violin has its very own unique story. These violins were not that expensive when they were made, but they have gained value in that they went through the holocaust and survived. These violins ranged anywhere from 3 to $12 at that time. If only the violin could talk! Thank you for reaching out and if you have any further questions please feel free to contact me at violinsforu@gmail.com.
I just found your videos and I'm so happy I did! I've been considering going into lutherie and repair and you are a wealth of information, thank you so much! Heres a small thing that I noticed if youre wanting to reach more people. The video I originally found was #105 but you had forgotten to put the number on it. I think maybe if you put the number at the end of the title, it might make it easier for people to find your channel! The algorithms can be finicky like that.
Good idea! I will have to go back in there and see what I can do. Thank you! I hope you have a wonderful week!
Mr. Freaney built a virtual organ . It is beautiful! I am sorry to hear Amnon Weinstine just died. Some of the violins he collected had cremation ashes in them. His collection of holocoust violins is a wonderful and great legacy. We will miss him. I met him at his shop in Israel.
I think what makes it so special isn't only that it's a survivor of the holocaust, but what that actually means. The people behind its survival. It only got here because someone cared enough about it to protect, to hide it. Who knows what kind of hardships they went through so that it could survive until today?
You are so right. What stories it has behind it, the people, the hope, the sorrow. If it could only talk, but we will know someday! Thank you for commenting. Where are you from?
@@Violinsforu2 If only! I'm in Western Washington, south of Seattle
would replacing a thin fingerboard with a newer thicker board increase volume? basically increasing the action.
It could definitely improve the tone but you have to be careful to have a balance. Too much ebony can also dampen a bit. There are so many factors involved but every little bit helps. Thank you for writing and I hope you have a great week!
Hi
Froendly?
I am nick louthier from greece kozani.
Hi Nick, Thank you for commenting and hello over there in Greece! Hope you have a great day!
thanks for the video. I'm a violinist and would like to buy an instrument with a star of David, but I cannot find one anywhere. Where can I buy one?
There are a few out there, but you need to be careful, because they can be overpriced, because many of them were lower quality violins and they need to be revoiced to get a good tone. Thank you for asking and hope you have a great week!
@@Violinsforu2 Thanks a lot for your response. Have a nice week and can't wait to watch the next video. Love from France 🎻🎻🎻
@@Maxime_Ayrault_de_Saint-Henis You are welcome! I'll look forward to your comments! Thank you for writing all the way from France!!!
Pray for the Jewish people
