@@kunalvm I don't know if this is the actual reason, but the price is heavily determined by the prestige of the maker, the kind of wood and more. But the actual sound and resonance of the exact pieces of timber in an instrument can still vary immensely in any price range. Still, i also think it's quite likely that this guy's microphone doesn't represent the true sound too authentically.

DeadlyChinchilla. Well as a violinist myself I can say it's tone was the best, it also wasn't a choked as the rest were on the higher notes. The notes were much smoother on the bow changes an were sharp an direct but not piercing. Now i wonder if the bows were also different or the same because that would play a big part also. I am kinda mad A cost that much because it would have the 600 dollar sound imo. But expensive violins aren't pricey due to musicality most of the time, just history if anything.

You made even the lower priced ones sound amazing.

Wow I was dead wrong about the prices... I thought cheapest one sounded the nicest!! But what I really had to comment on was that your technique is impeccable. I was tripping out on how parallel your bow stayed to your bridge even while blindfolded!

Amazing! Could you be so kind to reveal which brands and types were the various violins? Could be a reason to choose for one of them:)

My fav was c tbh

Hey Rob, please make a tutorial of how to create such a nice sound!

I honestly can't tell the difference because you played them all absolutely beautiful 😉

@adam-iy5oy

6 жыл бұрын

you can still tell the difference. stop making an excuse to compliment

A and C were resonant while the other two almost stopped as soon as the bow stopped. It's not always about sound, the proportions of a violin are also extremely important as they can impede the violinist from getting the best sound out of the instrument if off.

That Tchaikovsky Concerto 3rd movement though ooo!

I think it is always hard to guess from the outside when you play it yourself it is much clearer but I thought that the second one was a little flat in the sound on the G string and the first one felt like it really opened up on the G string. You played it amazing on all of them though

I guessed A and C but had B and D mixed up. A had the clearest sounds on the higher end.

The "B" violin have the best sound for me :) Great vidoe mate! Thanx!

Great video as alway, love you.

What was your opinion when trying them blindfolded? Did you classify them correctly? Also, had you played them before without the blindfold?

My favorite was C, then A. What violin was the C one? I wanna purchase it! Only 1500 and I fell in love with it!

Well i know what 10k violin not to buy lol. C definitely blew them all out of the water. Any chance on posting the makers?

Proof that not all expensive violins sound the best

You are excellent guy!

You play the (my heart will go on) so.. romantic!! Thats why i wanted you to go to my mothers date with my step dad and that song to them😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 but i love it ur so talented!!!

I don't know the first song much and for some reason they sounds a lot different in many ways. But I listened my heart will Go on twice. And come out with a conclusion I want D more then A and bc sounds the same but I was very sure both BC must be somehow cheaper then AD. So D>A>B=C And I am not surprised I am wrong but i am truely glad I love the sound of the violin that I can afford.

I'm in 6th grade I play the violin and I do have to play my heart will go on.

a has a wonderful sound

Hiiii rob i love your videos sooo much, can you do a bohemian rhapsody cover?

While KZread audio and what's probably the onboard mic of the camera isn't an ideal test and none of them sounded terrible, like others I too thought A was the least expensive fiddle.

A was my favourite. It sounded the clearest without sounding cheap and harsh, it also sounds very smooth and more detailed imo. I don't get why so many people chose C.. C sounds very muddy and not detailed enough to me. I guess people like darker sounding violins.. But not me lol, if you want to make it less bright use an EQ..

I prefer slightly darker violins so I enjoyed B quite a bit, but I couldn't decide between B and A being more expensive. I'm not surprised A was since many 10k violins are marketed as "professional" or for "advanced students" and Luthiers seem to focus on projection and precision above all else at this price point. Every violin in this category I've played sounded somewhat sterile to me and shockingly loud. I personally prefer the 2-5k market where you get some sweeter and more charcterful tones even if the instrument loses a little clarity. My current violin was around 3k and I don't think I'll be upgrading anytime soon until I can find the right instrument that has both the warmer sound and the punch and precision of a higher grade instrument.

One of the best violinist in the world!!

they all sound good but A and C much better than the 2 others .i wish i could buy them ...thank you for the video

I got the 10k right. The other three i gave up on because i didn't like any of them. In fact when i was thinking about them, i did get them all right. But the middle two were a bit overlapping.

What is the brand of number C? I really love it and hope to purchase it one day

Can you please post a buy link for the C? I like it so much

For me the best is the D

testing my ears for music A: A bit rough around the edges. Still nice $950 B: A bit rougher than A, but better than A. $1500 C: A lot better than the last two. My guess this is the $10,000 one D: Sound like the violin was fighting Rob the whole time. $600 Edit: wtf

I know it's been a while, but what violin is C??? I loved the sound and I'll be in the market for one soon!!

I'm looking for a violin to play some metal solos on so idk much about them but I'd D sounded best to me since it had a deep tone in comparison to B and C sounded great too. B,A,C,D from worst to best for me.

Can you please share the 600£ violin model ? Thank you

It sounds like they're all $10k. Prob just me loving the Violin xD 🎻

Based on this recording, C was my favorite but A was my least favorite though! I want to know what kind D was because I think I want one! It sounded very strong for it's price.

B was definitely cheaper than C. The sound vibrations for C were much richer and it was a very stark contrast. But my first guess was that A was the cheapest. It had a funny sound to it. But overall, it's interesting how all instruments seem to have their own personalities. It's almost like they are people

I think D is the most expensive Edit:WHAT ON EARTH

C sounds really nice

My answer was (best to less good) C-B-D-A 😁 I actually loved C so much. But you played all of them great.

D is much louder, but i can't tell if this is better or not. C sounds smooth and clean but i have also to ask. Are all violins have same strings on them ? We have to listen the difference between the violins, not the strings, right? Well, after i saw the answers i surprised that the first one is the most expensive, and without know the answer, the C should be my choice. Sounds amazing.

Crazy. I thought D had the best sound by far.

did the archet make a difference ?

Cheap to expensive: A D B C Edit: oh my lord the more expensive one sounded the worst tbh. At least B was before C 🤷

Good job not telling us what kind of violins they were!

Where could i buy the $600 violin

I would likebti ask where can I buy the C with 1500?

What was the 600 dollar one that one sounded the best! Was it a good set up also?

1. B 2. A 3. C 4. D I love these tests. D sounds noticeably restrained like it is struggling to produce the music compared to the other 3. A, although being the most expensive has a very brash and forward personality that I personally don't enjoy. However it is my experience that many "professional" violins have this character because they have to be able to project in a concert hall against many other players and it is difficult to make a violin that projects very well AND has a sweet tone. B is definitely my favorite with a warmer and more melodic character and more colorful sound than C. I love these tests, they show the price does not equal 'better' sound. This is why you should always play instruments yourself without looking at prices and then pick your favorite and hope you can afford it!

C was great I'm buying it

Wow, so weird! I'm with everyone else! Totally thought A was the cheapest and C the most expensive, by sound and appearance. What violin is C? It almost looks like the Fiddlerman Soloist which is around that price?

What was the 1,500$ one I enjoyed the sound the most, and I'm looking for a new one.

It sounds like C is the most played through, that’s probably why people are saying it sounds the best

I play violin myself and I must say that I liked the sound of D the best :D It has such a nice sound :D but all sound squeeky, maybe it's the setup. Or my headphones.

A: Harsh and scratchy B: Bit better but scratchy C: A bit scratchy too D: mwa mwa mwa perfection

A B C D i love all the sound's cause its way more better than my violin that is cost for about ($95-$100)

Right, I think also B had more sustain and better acoustic resonance

I didn't go by price I just ranked in order by how pleasing. I got A and C right in terms of ranking but honestly I went back and forth on A and C depending on the notes being played. Both D and B were also toss up for last ranked for me. I really did not like B at all and it cost $950, and felt that the $600 D sounding more overall pleasing. It was a little ho hum average sounding, but there were a few notes that sang better to me on D than B.

what is the name of violin B?

B and C resonate better than A, A sounded you have to push to get that overtone out. where B and C comes out easier.

I have a $3000 worth of violin( in the photo , the one Kitty has :D, it is copy of stradivarius ), when my tutor play music with this, sounds fantastic like real stradivari..but when i play, there is no difference with $100 violin.Rob , you can make a brilliant sound even $600 violin. I wanna be.

which violin is D? @Rob Landes

Where can I buy the D one?

From cheap to expensive D B A C I'm quite happy that I can pinpoint the cheap ones..

liked A , B liked it more of the same like A , C didn't like , sounded somewhat sterile ... D was different than A and B , was a little more smooth i considered , warmer! ... now the results... keep in mind that i do not play violin and also i do not know how yt is afecting the audio ... A~B >C , D interesting

did they all have the same sting set though? for some reason the most expensive one (A) sounded the worst

What the!!!! the two cheapest violins were my picks. They had a good sound projection, or maybe just my preference.

I did not get them right but the C one I think it was the best sounding one.

I've recognized a pattern in this tests video I've come across: The one that has a fake sound, like a higher volume, is usally the cheaper (in this case qas 950$), the one which sounds nice and is seen as the best is usually the mid price, and the one which isn't the worste, but has a strange sound, is the most expensive.

C>B>D>A damn, A was out of order

I'm guessing B is the most expensive no clue well I'll have to find out! I just started violin 3w ago😦

What's the answer ?
