There are employees at the Stradivarius Museum whose job it is to take these magnificent instruments out of their cases and play them, usually two or three times a year. Apparently they lose tone if they are not played. To paraphrase, "A Stradivarius is safe in a museum, but that is not what they are for."
@juliawillis1240 10 місяців тому
The Stradivarius is exquisite but it is the master violinist that brings her to life. A beautiful combination.
@billlembke1768 6 місяців тому
It is not any better than any other violin. People say it is better or the best so that they appear to be more cultured, knowledgeable, or an expert. It is like when says a very expensive bottle of wine is the best, until they find the fake label is actually on a cheap bottle. There is little or no difference in quality, just the perceived value. For the violin, you could polish a very inexpensive one, make up a detailed story, and say the value is $100 million. Many self-proclaimed experts would agree to promote their own identity, showing how shallow they are, and not suffocated.

@Hexensohn 3 місяці тому
@@billlembke1768 you would be right if we were talking about a master crafted modern violin. Those are often chosen above Strads in blind tests in terms of sound. But it is very, very different from lower quality student instruments. There certainly is a lot of snobbery and adherence to tradition in the classical music world, but to say a Strad doesn't sound better than other violin just isn't true. It is worth noting that these are also centuries old instruments that have been cared for and maintained to remain playable in the modern era. Their value isn't solely for their sound, they are also pieces of history.

I’ve played violin for many years, but the clarity and depth to the sound this violin produces is second to none. Those notes do not sound the same on a regular violin, and if I had to guess a reason it would be the chamber of the violin. I think it’s perfectly shaped in such a way that it allows the sound to echo out from inside at almost the same frequency and strength. Incredible.

Do you have a name? It’s probably possible to find the exact violin that he played on by looking him up.

@@Josef_1186 Yes, if u're playing at a high professional level, u're expected to have one of the elite violins, in the six-figure range.

What is it like to own... it's a pain in the ass... always worrying about it... leaving it home so you don't mess it up... and then finding someone you trust to fix it... geez.. NO thank you.

@@ACoustaDC At that level u're spending a lot of time w/ the instrument every day, so it's never out of sight. Most top professionals hv rigorous daily practice routines, 5-8 hrs a day. I asked a world-renowned bassist I know how much she (transexual, used to be a man) practices, she said "That's all I do." Don't know anything about her acoustic bass, but she's remarkable! Electric bass another story. She's not at all rich, but she should be! That's jazz for u.

@@ACoustaDC You're making excuses as to why you're poor and talentless. I see it all the time, with obese morons, with broke beggars; excuses about how hard and how greedy and evil money makes you, and how they've all been there. Did you say that? No. But you don't need to speak, ever, in your whole life. Your mind is like an open book, except completely worthless, with grass instead of paper -- not even papyrus.

One of my favorite stories we've read was on los reciclados - they made a band out of recycled materials! I believe in Ecuador. This is really cool! I love this, and I also love stories about making music accessible to everyone.

My relatives came to America by selling a valuable violin to get here. 6 brothers and their priest , from Germany. I wonder how that violin sounded. This was incredible to listen.
@eedre4864 2 роки тому
I didn’t expect such a big sound from such a small instrument… and through my iPhone speakers. I guess that’s one reason why these are worth so much.

They don’t make them like this anymore, except studies show that when a pro doesn’t know what they’re playing, they prefer modern violins over million dollar strads.
