LOOOOL same

same here

SAME

Tia Leung same

Same...

Eventuelly you can make it up to 15 violins per second !!

Interesting! You can also make a B natural into a B flat!

But its still not a 1.5 million 'violin' with 5 strings

It's reverse psychology.

Ling ling makes 40 perfect violins everyday

Did you do it? What did it cost?

me too lol

DO IT COWARD!

@Most dislikes on a video World Record 😂😂🤣

Me too

I agree 100%.

That is a good sign! Glad you enjoyed it.

Potato lmao roasted

YipHyGaming - Truncation [150 coming] it means his voice was very nice, like ASMR... he wasn't even being rude...

Charles Mcbain I know... maybe I misunderstood what ‘roasted’ means when I commented this. I probably didnt click on the comment I wanted to reply to. Sorry for pointing that out!

YipHyGaming - Truncation [150 coming] Alright then.

Thank you so much!

galenhartley yeah awesome 😎

But I thought Ling Ling owned a Kachikiwawa?

doubtful

MUS1C4L 1NSTRUMENTS you never know

@@hsuhorn Problem is there's also a factor out of his control when it comes to being the "best" brand of violin. Its theorized that part of the reason Stradivarius violins are deemed the best is because the weather around the time the trees were growing, so quite a few years, caused the trees in that area to seize up and produce insanely hard, dry wood that happened to be perfect for making violins. If somehow he could find a way to replicate that exact wood, or something better. Then he could possibly be the next best luthier. Otherwise he'd need to find some other revolutionary way to make violins.

Sir Pantsalot exactly the weather could change and become super hard and dry because global warming and stuff

Mr. Chase no lol

I do agree that it's a funny concept... It does seem somewhat more noble and mature to just finish an instrument and let time have its way. And yet there are plenty of customers who prefer antiqued finishes. I really don't have a very articulate response to this idea, but I do appreciate you taking the time to comment! : )

When I was making the film I thought it was a funny thing too. As a guitarist my guitars are reliquing themselves naturally, pokes and dents (dents?) are adding to the picture. When I look at relic custom shop guitars when tuners are brushed with coffee to look old I always think it's weird. But when I saw how intriguing the antiquing process was, I sort of figured out how it can be beautiful (correct me if i'm wrong). making a violin allows the luhier to mix different caracteristics, by bending curves more or less, working on old fashioned models and shapes, giving it an extra style that can relate to glorious standards, but when youre not an expert in violin shapes, these details can be really hard to bust. In my humble opinion antiquing is just like painting on a fresh canvas that you've just made. When it comes to antiquing (and you made clear the point that it's not about fooling people or making them believe that it is actualy old) luthiers are free to give the instrument more of a texture to it. PLain varnishes can be crackled, matified, layered, painted and scratched, different tones can be added etc... very interesting and not a lazy way to work It looks funny though, to see a very gentle and precise violin maker have fun with salt and hair dryer on a 200+ hours work. Refreshing, i couldn't say why. Lotta work indeed to "thrash" a jewel. that's the punk side of the luthier haha

galenhartley it’s very popular in the guitar world too.

Like Galen said... That's just what the majority of violinist will play! If you let the average player chose between a new flawless instrument and an old looking one, most of them will chose the antiqued violin. No question, you can hide quite a lot if you messed up and that's what some colleagues will always imply. And I will let them. But to be honest, good antique varnish is quite a lot of work compared to plain finish. And if you're not good at it, most people will notice right away... So if you don't put great effort into it and look at good old instruments, it won't charm a schooled eye. Galen did a pretty good job there!

All the most expensive violins in the world look "rough" because they are old. They have a lot of character. Oddly enough it's the really cheap violins that look super clean and new. If someone is spending $15k on a violin, they want it to look like a violin you'd spend $15k on, ideally a lot more than that. ($15k is just the first price I found for a Hartley violin - just to use as a ballpark number for what his violins sell for and who might be buying them). I feel like this is a transition period for someone like Hartley. People spend $15k for a high quality violin that can be used frequently (orchestra, concert, etc). The quality and look of the violin is more important than the name behind it. Assuming Hartley's violins continue to improve and his name gets more recognition, people will start buying the violin because it's a Hartley, not because it's a quality violin that looks more expensive than it is. A buyer of such a violin will be able to get the status that comes with owning an expensive violin by showing the maker's mark, rather than showing the patina.

that's funny because I did not have ASMR microphones at the time but now I've bought some and I'm trying to properly record stuff with it. my next videos will be asmr friendly!

Yea.. too bad he talked the whole way through :c

αвѕolυтe αвѕυrd :3 I think this is better. He has a really calm voice and personality and I wouldn’t have watched the whole video without it.

@Vanargand You do realize that if a sound makes you feel relaxed, that's automatically asmr for you. Doesnt matter if it's not titled ASMR, if it makes you feel good or relaxed then it's asmr.

Ling ling!

viola gang !!

Ling ling doesn't practice.

@DAVID MELLA No he doesn't. He knows how to play all of the songs already.

@@sierra6293 but he only knows all the songs because he practiced 40 hours

mine too

I agree it was beautiful before it was aged, my violin has aged for 244 years I'm assuming naturally lol

@@adamgc73 wow! may I know roughly how much did it cost you? I've been playing the violin for over 16 years now and have gone through a couple of violins (mainly from growing up from a toddler to an adult) but never truly appreciated the craftsmanship behind them, I'm hoping to buy my next one not simply by its aesthetics but by also having a deeper understanding

Thank you for the comment ! Glad you enjoyed the video !

Thank you, Harlan. Joseph's work looks very nice - I reckon you're in good hands there!

Harlan Stone don’t give up harlen, it’s never too late to find something to enjoy. Even if you only get to make a few!

Hi Harlan I have a newspaper article that I kept for inspiration, that I'd like to share with you, re an older violin maker. I tried to copy and paste here but it doesn't work. If you can give me your email, I'd be happy to forward it to you. david.adelaide@bigpond.com

Did you finish the violin?

Dear Maestro; In which country, and city of Europe, can I buy spruce pine, or "Picea"? Does anyone know any website? Thank you so much !

Thank you !

Thanks so much! Really glad the video connected with you. Thank YOU for sharing!

thank you !

Thank you very much!

incredible video work indeed

Thank you, Johnny !

Thank you very much! I would also love you to purchase one :) Send me an email if you'd like to discuss it further. And happy new year!

galenhartley singerboyking2791@gmail.com

DeAngelo Burruss wow thats a funny email lmao

galenhartley what does your violins sell for

@Vanargand Yeah it seems ill advised to put your email in a youtube comment section...

Well, they're meant to live a full and adventurous life, just like us :) Maybe you could just think of it as a very slow antiquing process.

authenticity

Same, my viola has changed overtime

Unless it is a bench violin, (2-20k) its not made like this.

Don't feel bad, he actually went out of his way to dent and chip this one.

Good. It needs that.

Thank you, Marc! I agree that it's probably more fun and interesting to know where each little scratch and dent came from. I've been on the antiquing track for a while now and I admit that it's very hard for me to do just a clean varnish job that has the same impact as something artificially aged... but still, it's something to aspire to because when it works it is truly fantastic.

Thank you! Very happy you enjoyed it!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Aw, thanks Buffy! That is just lovely to hear... I had some kind of co-op pride feeling after reading Radio Belly, too. Thanks again, really great to hear from you!

Thanks! Next book is on the way. I wish I could make a movie about its genesis but that would be much more boring than your movie!

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! Hard to imagine where I'd be without lutherie and violins either : )

Thank you!

Here for like the 9th time since I saw the video for the first time.

Once again ;)

The French subs are very useful for me :)

Thank you!

Thank you so much! Hope you can get your hands on a violin someday soon. Sounds like there is plenty of passion ready to be put to good use :)

galenhartley I do hope so too. There are violins in our school (that unfortunately, we are not to touch) and I sometimes secretly set them up when our trainor's not around. But before I even start to try it, our rondalla practice would start. It's such a shame that those violins are just collecting dusts... sorry for the long message. I feel like I just have to say those. I'll work hard to get one soon. I will.

AlecziiMacaronii definitely, but they are one of the most expensive instruments to keep and maintain. You need the instrument, a case, rosin, shoulder rest, bow, cloth(you don’t technically need to buy that), a tuner(there are apps, but normally aren’t that great) and someway to learn. Then you need to rehair your bow every 1-2 years, and change the strings. But it’s worth it, never drop it... obvious, but just don’t, mine broke at where the neck and body meet, thankfully it was an easy fix. Hope you get one they are beautiful

You will HAVE to change violin yearly because of the size

Evil Hutdug not really yearly but when ever you are ready to change it's height because of your growth

Thank you very much!

Hello! Thank you very much! It would be a pleasure to meet with you, keep in touch regarding your travel plans!

@@galenhartley yes! do you have any email that I can contact you with?

galen.hartley@gmail.com

@@galenhartley hey buddy! sorry for the late response, but I will email you after my exams .

Yes. They need to know the basics (Fingering, Bowing, Tuning etc.) to actually start mastering the art of building a violin.

NA7HAN Oh ok thanks

CheesyWood they have to

A bit, but not much.

Brandon some

Thank you very much!

Thank you, Raphael! So glad you enjoyed it!

You're welcome ! Thank you !

Thank you!

Thank you so much! This comment is very much appreciated!

I have never torn a pair of jeans in my life, and I have some really old ones because I keep everything. I'd have to wait decades for them to have holes naturally.

Maybe that’s because I very often sit outdoors on the ground in parcs and I don’t have a car so I walk a lot and use a bicycle. Holes come after 3 to four years on vintage Levi’s.

@@T.J Oh, that explains it.

Thank you so much ! I'm afraid we don't add content very regularly, but I'm very happy you enjoyed the video !

Happily, I've never suffered any serious injury. But I admit there have been quite a few small cuts along the way :)

Thank you so much!

Thanks for having my back on this, Addison! I appreciate your support. Still happily accepting encouragement to quit smoking, though :)

Holy Roman Empire i care, dont try and speak for 6000000 people. You are just plain,y self-centered and a shit-eater.

Hello! It's about two months from chunks of wood to a playable violin.

クアン ミリ- ナ oh nah I’d end up cutting my hand and it’s worse cuz I’m a pianist

Tia Leung Well still try. I still can’t find the knife but maybe one day I’ll make my dream violin. (I highly doubt I will)

Preparation is key, no steak knives! :) But I'm glad the video inspired you!

galenhartley :) it was a great video.

Working on an answer for you :)

Lilya plays the first movement of Prokofiev's concerto for violin no. 2 and a movement by Bach, but she doesn't remember which one.

I’m fairly certain it’s the Allemande (or Allemanda) from Partita No. 1 in B minor, BWV 1002

Jasper Lai holy shit ur a god

YipHyGaming - Truncation [150 coming] no cursing please!

Thank you!

What???? Those strings are made of cat gut!

Thank you so much!

I agree. It's just really unnecessary, a weird idea. Sadly that's the reality in some part of today's violin making.

Makes me want to pull my hair out.

Thank you so much!
