Can You Hear the Difference Between a Cheap and Expensive Violin?

Показать описание

Why are some violins so expensive??? I went into Peter Prier and Sons in Salt Lake City, where I put to the test a violin I bought off of Amazon for $62, and an antique Italian violin for $285,000. Scroll down for answers on what makes these instruments worth so much.

The first song I play is Hallelujah, and the second is AC/DC "Thunderstruck".

Supply and Demand: One reason the value of an antique Italian violin is so dear is because there are so few of them left, and they are no longer being made. Simple economics dictates that when there is a demand but little supply, value increases.

The Quality: Musicians have long believed that the antique Italian violins are superior to other violins in quality and sound. It’s believed that cooler temperatures from the 1200s to the mid 1800s contributed to a denser tree bark, making the wood that was used in constructing these instruments of a higher quality and offering a better acoustic.

They’re Fashionable: Owning an old Italian is a status symbol in the world of music, thus increasing its legend, value and price.

The Condition and History of the Instrument: Any of these violins are between 100-300 years old, making it an historical icon as well as an instrument. If the instrument is also in excellent condition, the value increases.

Vincenzo Panormo (1794) - $130,000

My favorite: Giuseppe Scarampella - $185,000

I can't tell the difference, simply because Rob plays them all equally as good

TheRealGuywithoutaMustache

So let’s have a look at the affordable-ish range

*this one is $130, 000, so more than most people’s cars*

I actually started the violin freshmen year and here was a beginning program at my school so I gave it a shot. I rented one from the school that I didn’t like that much, and couldn’t wait to get my own. I did a garage sale and made about two hundred dollars? I was really upset because I wanted to buy one but felt bad if my family bought it for me. I was really upset. Then like fate, my family got a call from someone who they knew who heard about the garage sale to raise money for my violin. The lady said she used to play and kept her violin from many years ago and was willing to give me it for free! I was so happy. She gave us the cooking including a gorgeous bow. It needed new strings and bridge and a new bow. My money I made qualified to fix it up and my grandma volunteered to buy my hundred dollar bow. I love my instrument so much and am getting better each time. Sorry this was long but I felt happy to share.

So who wants the violin I'm giving away?? You watched until the end right? The top comment here will be shipped the Charizard violin as long as you live in the lower 48 states.

Edit: Voting ends at noon Mountain Standard Time on Friday, August 11, at which time I will message the winner and make arrangements to send the Charizard violin, so keep checking back to see the leaders!

0:30 - cheapest violin (62$)
4:00 - most expensive violin (approx. 280, 000$)

A good violinist can make a $62 violin sounds like a $2000 violin whereas a bad violinist can make a $2000 sounds like a $62 violin.

If you want to hear the Demo's of each violin closer together for comparison:
0:30 ---$64
1:53--- $130k
2:56 -- $185k
4:00 --- $285k

KharamelSueno

My skill is, i could play a $285, 000 violin sound like $62

jeklinmarvipongotak

To be honest, I can hear a slight difference between them but nothing that would justify that price other than the fact that they are very rare and pieces of collection.

cybernetix

I wouldn't be comfortable holding a Ferrari in my hands

Rob: "which violin is in a more affordable range."
Daniel : Here's a $130, 000.00 violin
Me: mouth drops open

KrystalYang

ok but can you play a 5-string 1.5 million dollar diamond bejeweled violin at 15 notes a second???

aryak

The difference is that one makes my wallet scream and the other doesn’t.

alextran

Its 3 am in the morning..why the fuck am I watching this

ognjendragic

I think I would be more comfortable holding my heart out of my body than holding a violin more expensive than my life.

danielbelmir
