I agree with that assessment. I'm not a violin player at all but tone is very important to me when I buy guitars. Tone can also be very subtle. From what we get sound wise in this video, the #4, and #5 were my favorites. But what really never comes through in video is how it feels in the hands while playing, and that is the best point to start from for me personally.

When I started, my teacher told me to rent a good violin instead of buying a cheap one (until I knew I liked violin and wanted to invest in a better one). It was a really good advice because you would get less results on a bad violon and I don't know if I would have kept the motivation to learn.

I'm a violinist and was super curious to see if I'd be able to recognize the "best" violin. I placed the first three violins correctly, but I kept being uncertain about #4 and #5. There are probably a few factors here which we can't recognize as listeners, regarding the playability. Rob talked a lot about how it felt to play #4, how the instrument wanted to give back a lot, and I think this is something that only the player can percieve best. To me, #5 sounded nicer than #4, but that's only half of the violin's personality. The other half is how it connects with the player. So I'm curious if I would still have ranked #4 above #5, if I had the opportunity to play it, myself 🤔

Hi Ania, similar assessment here, I also preferred the brighter tones of 5/Gagliano and would use it to play something like the Sibelius violin concerto, but 4/Strad when I went back and listened and compared just the last 2 violins, the Strad def had some attitude and grit, i can't really explain but it had a unique sound which set it apart from the rest. It's too bad they didn't have a Guarnerius violin to compare which has some deep tones on the G and soars on the E and it has the ability to project like 1/DiMateo violin

Some observations I made about the Gagliano vs the Stradivarius. The Gagliano has a “bigger” sound the Strad has a much “richer” sound. The Gagliano is for the assistant concertmaster while the strad is for a cocncertmaster or pure solo work

I definitely knew 1,4,5 were the best but inhad alot of trouble deciding between 4&5. To me they're used in different situations. 4 was very tearful in every performance. But 5 was also vibrant warm but not as tearful as the Stradivari which is ok when changing genres

I liked violins 1, 3, 4 and beginning with song no. 2, I also liked violin 5. But it was kind of obvious that the 4th was the Stradivarius as you were smiling, and showing you were honored to play it, especially during songs 1-2.

I've got to say that I like the Gagliano over the Stradivari. The Strad has very crisp and harmonic tones, and the Gagliano has more soul and weighty resonance, IMO. I like that full sound that melts into the next notes more than the Strad and gives a more visceral feeling in the gut. Plus I can use the leftover 9.9 million to buy a nice house to keep my instrument in.

It's because it sounds better with the high notes (which a violin is most known for) while the 10M violin shines in the lower notes. Also it's more expensive because it's rare. Supply and demand. Not purely because of its quality. The way he's playing the strad could also be affected by him being more careful because it's so expensive and as he said, he was quite nervous just holding it.

It’s like Chloe’s violin.

I don't play instruments but two things stood out: one on the Amazon one, and one on the Stradivari. The Amazon one sounded like it was "nervous". It just sounded to me like it was very stiff for something that is supposed to be made of a warm tonal wood. The Stradivari just looked the part. The second it showed up, it just looked like it had some age behind it, and it was the sort of age that would be very difficult to replicate.

I liked the sound of the Gagliano best. I thought it had the best depth of sound. And as cheap as the Amazon violin was, I was impressed with the sound for $70. It’s not good but it sounds a lot better than I thought it would.

Me watching this video not knowing a thing about violins: *Hmm, yes the floor here is made out of floor*

The sound seems to get warmer and richer as you go through the selection Rob.

Wonderful experiment! Musician seems, however, to change his “reverence” as playing different instruments. Hard for him to put his “heart” into playing $70 instrument. Perhaps blindfolded musician handed violins in a random order would result in a “double blind” experiment. ,

Thanks for the video looking into a cheap extra violin and didn't want something that sounds like a tin can. I was curious were they all stringed with the same srings? If not, spending $70 bucks on strings for the amazon violin would wildly improve the sound.

They also sounded pretty consistent on Megalovania to me but the Stradivari seemed the smoothest on the other two songs.

Also, their difference is not so apparent in the first song. At least it wasn't for me.

The 10 million and the 70 dollar are the two I put as a tie. This is also why I don't buy expensive liquor or wine...I haven't refined myself enough to appreciate it properly
