Buy the Zubak Soloist violin at Kennedy Violins: kennedyviolins.com/products/zubak-soloist-violin-outfit?sca_ref=4396325.kjIlC01pDv

I doubt if any brand new violin will sound as good as one that’s been played a lot.

Bows can really change the sound of a violin. I have a few bows and they all give a different sound. Also different weights and balance points. Good for different things. Are you going to be playing this new violin some? Like to take places, instead of your older one? If so, some Evah Golds might sound really nice on it 😉

the older one is so soft and sweet sounding, better for sure!

Fab video, thank you! I listened to it without looking at the screen to see if I could tell the difference. Your violin is very warm and throaty and the new violin is bright. Both sound nice, but I prefer your violin.... I enjoyed listening to you play both, lovely accompaniment and lovely cheerleading from the babies! Thank you for putting the time and effort into making interesting content Zlata.

Aw, thank you 🤗

Thank you for comparing Zlata!

Glad you finally reviewed Kennedy violins. I requested a review from you years ago. After I bought a Antonio Gulliani violin from Kennedy violins in 2018 and have had a great violin and experience from Kennedy violins

Hello, which Giuliani? the Etude? I'm currently looking at picking it up. Thoughts?

No not the Etude the normal one

The new violin sounds very nice, especially for the price. Compared to your old violin though, it sounds a little tight and flat. Your old violin has a broader, livelier, more open sound, with lovely overtones, which I prefer. Your Arcus bow makes the new violin sound slightly better. Did you have the same type of strings on both instruments for this comparison?

Thanks for sharing! Actually the new violin has Prelude strings and my violin Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Gold strings that are old. I might make some sound samples with the same strings on both or at least try the new violin with the Golds.

I think it doesn't matter that violin is old or new. The sound of pieces matter by Violin player, How the violinist use the bow pressure, using the dynamics and more. But as the comparison of the sound old and new violin, i would go to the old violin.

Are the strings thé same on thé two violins! Le violon ancien a un son plus doux et rond, l'autre est bien plus brillant

Prelude strings didn't sound good on my violin but all the other brands I have used have been good.

200 years gives a rounder an fuller sound.

❤🙏

when playing an older violin from the 1800's would you think using a baroque bow with it is a good idea or not? At least for older classical scores?

Well, when this violin was made, the Tourte model bow was already in use and the violin isn't built or set up as a baroque violin, so for me personally it doesn't make much sense, but I know there are lots of heated discussion about this, haha, so do whatever feels right for you.

Ob es wirklich einen zu bewertenden Unterschied gibt ist fraglich. Der Klang einer Geige hängt von so unglaublich vielen Faktoren ab. Ich habe auf der Suche nach einem neuen Bogen etliche auf meiner ca. 100 Jahre alten französischen Geige ausprobiert. Bögen der gleichen Preiskategorie haben vollkommen unterschiedliche Charaktere der Geige zum Vorschein gebracht. Die Saiten haben einen ebenso großen Einfluß auf den Klang. Nicht zu unterschätzen die Vertrautheit der Seelen des Violinisten und seines Instrumentes. Denn auch wenn der Violinist noch so sicher auf einem unbekannten Instrument spielt, das "Zusammenspiel" wird anders sein mit dem vertrauten Instrument. Und dann: was macht es mit dem Zuhörer? Der eine liebt den klaren, definierten Klang, der andere den warmen, bauchigen, vielleicht auch je nach Stück? Auch neue Geigen wollen gespielt werden und wachsen, und eines Tages werden sie ihre Geschichte erzählen, so wie die alten heute. Jeder der mit dem Herzen sucht wird SEIN Instrument finden, ob alt oder neu.
