Cheap vs Expensive Violin (Can you HEAR the Difference?)

Показать описание

Hello again, get ready to witness a sonic showdown like no other. Joined by the talented Lena Yokoyama, we embark on a musical challenge to compare one of my Master violin against a cheapest one.

Throughout the video, we'll be putting both violins through their paces across five distinct levels: Beginner, Student, Advanced, Professional, and Super Professional. With Lena's skillful playing, we'll explore how these instruments perform at various proficiency levels, unraveling the tonal nuances and intricacies that set them apart.

Join us testing the limits of each violin and evaluating their sound quality, projection, and responsiveness across different playing styles and techniques.

The climax of the video will be the performance of the inexpensive violin at the Super Professional level, pushing its boundaries and uncovering how far it can truly go. Can a budget violin hold its own against the complexities of professional playing? The answer might surprise you.

Meanwhile all the best from Cremona

Please compare a chinese master violin worth 2000 usd and italian cremonese master violin of 34000 usd. Thats the real comparison 😀

That was fun! Great playing! I love the cheap china violins. The ones that are about $300 actually sound pretty decent usually once you swap out strings, and at about $1500 they are usually pretty good. And I loved Lena's dress! A lot of people commenting on a China violin. China is a big country, with a lot of people and a lot of big cities. There are many great makers in China using great tone wood. So, country of origin is not everything. I agree that if someone can afford it, the Scarla Perfecta range is great for beginner and intermediate.

That chinese violin sounds amazing for the price

thanks for your video, it was interesting to hear those differences!

Amazing playing I realy like how she plays the violin very expresive

loveearth

The Chinese music when he says “Chinese violin” lmao

reedolightningweaver

Honestly, it was hard to tell which is which because Ms. Yokoyama played them so well! But I think good instrument has more "possibility" in expression.

Another good point is that you need a very good dynamic microphone to pick up the differences perfectly. Then YouTube also compresses audio, so not the best. Then the video watcher needs a highly resolving audio setup to get all the differences too. Watching a video like this, you miss a lot versus comparing in-person

Great video!...even between good instruments you can hear the different powers and voices...each instrument
have its own secret...

She is indeed a superb violinist, able to force the cheaper instrument to sound better than it has any business I am sure the soundpost and bridge swap helped but I've played a similar factory made model and for example the low notes full Forte' and resonance on higher position playing, they often do not react to the bow as quickly or effortlessly however I agree for the price point for learners and students who may not be able to yet hear or feel the difference could be played up until early intermediate student levels before better strings, bridge and soundpost would be outweighted by purchasing a higher tier instrument. Your violin looked and sounded amazing <3

Thank you give me the answer which I haven so far. Many video can’t explain because all they are player, not from a master maker. I’m a 4-year-old learner, Adult. Now I can know difference for the prices clearly. Person’s level tell the violin which is enough for whom. Thank you and someday I can visit Cremona 😊😊
Good luck to you!🎉

Wie gewohnt ein beeindruckendes Video! Ich weiß den tollen, satten Sound, die leichte Ansprache und starke Dynamik Ihrer Geige zu schätzen.

Hi, there are many different levels of Chinese violins. IMO some of the ~$500 Chinese violins could easily compete well with any multi thousand dollar violin. It isn't necessary to purchase an expensive violin. And then, here come the carbon fiber violins. No worms, or temperature, or humidity to concern a violin owner. The carbon fiber violins do sound pretty good.

I’d be really interested to see the same instrument/player with a cheap & expensive bow for comparison. Great video today…..your “master” instrument is just easier to play, hence less thought, more natural musicianship. (I know nothing about violins, I’m a professional bass player)

russellswift

It’s not a good idea to spend a lot of money as a beginner. What if you hate playing?

nickiemcnichols

Amazing video as always, Maestro!!
At 1:42, the E string seems to have "catched" something and it changed the pitch, why does this happen? Thanks!!

MrZerRap

Helo master, , what is the correct bridge thickness?

MakNyus-jcpi

Try to include bats in the survey, I'm sure they will here something LOL 😂

yoheff

how long is the string between the bridge and the nut?

SahPutra-ttlb
