Guarneri very warm. I sometimes feel it is better than projection 🤷🏻‍♂️

Paganini used a Guarneri: the famous cannone with his sound full of power (that’s why Paganini called it like that). We don’t actually know how he received it but it is believed that he received it from a fan because he lost his violin because of gambling. He golfed the bow differently that other violinists, a bit further for the frog, and he also kept the violin lower, not respecting the 90° formula, but giving him an advantage: he could go from string to string just moving the hand and not the whole arm. Lastly Paganini didn’t use positions: people who watches his fingerings sated through they are useless and without any sense, but in reality he used a technique called _Smanicamento a mano ferma_ which it consist in putting the the hand in the middle of the finger board keeping the thumb in the same spot while the rest of the hand went down and up the fingerboard, in fact we can see that Paganini’s violin has a depression on the 3rd position where the thumb is located.

What's peculiar is that the violin he supposedly lost gambling was the "twin" of the Cannone, as it was made from the same wood. It's known as the Guarneri "Carrodus". Paganini apparently received his new Guarneri as a donation from a French gentleman named Livron, when he was 20. Paganini would use it for the entirety of his career. He indeed nicknamed it "il mio Cannone violino", my cannon violin, for its oustanding projection and resonance. In his will, he donated it to his city, Genoa, "for it to be forever preserved". Every couple of years, an international competition is held in Paganini's honour in Genoa, and the best violinist gets to play his Cannone.

It's the genuine joy unique to the musician, similar to that of any expert meeting a top-notch tool of her trade. My gratitude to TwoSet for enabling us to appreciate along with them the beauty of great instruments, and I like it that they savored the musical subtleties more than anyone else.

Bretts flourish as he picks up each violin is such a pro move, yet heartstopping when its worth fricking 10 mil dude!

I’m quite amazed that even with crappy phone speaker I can hear a difference when they’re played side by side

Quite surprised I could tell. But of course not by blind~ The more expensive ones seem more responsive/easier to make sound, the dynamic is clearer and when they played double stop, can hear both notes clearly. That guarneri sounds so good on them btw Can 4M sub gig use that guarneri?

Well, yes, you could say that how a musician plays an instrument basically makes the sound. I mean, literally. You've basically defined what a musician is. Congratulations

Advice to anyone wondering if they should buy a new violin: My old teacher said: "You should only buy a new instrument when you have mastered your current one" Don't buy one to sound better. Buy one when your current one is at the limit and can't make the sound you try to get out. Your skill and technique is better than the instrument can take. Edit: I am not trying to say you shouldn't buy a better and affordable violin if you want to (especially if you aren't a professional). I just feel like people often buy a violin just to sound better. But a good violin doesn't make you a good violinist and if you are trying to play professional it's impossible to cover your flaws with a better violin. The violin just carries your skill out in sound.

Hi everyone! Just some fun facts for you here: You can actually tell which maker made a particular violin not just from sound but by physical attributes. Some instruments will have more brown or red varnishes, some will have rounded pegboxes or deeper chamfers in the body. Most will differ in the scroll, which are a great tell as to who the maker is. Another fact: typical "fine" instruments dont appear until the $20000 range, where individual makers work are in play rather than production model copies!

Decent speakers/headphones are also important, but to me the more expensive violin almost every time really sounded more resonant, and the sound was more rich. Try to not listen to the music but to the *sound* itself, not just the notes played but their aftermath (how they ring). The less expensive violins often sounded more "shallow", as if the sound was coming from a small box, while the guarneris and stuff felt like the sound was bouncing around in a freaking concert hall. And each note also had more "stuff going on", more harmonics, while the less expensive sounded more "simple". Though it's definitely not that easy in some of the cases!

The Thibout has richer overtones; the Strad in the comparison sounds much flatter/one-dimensional. I would argue that provided playability is the same and if it is not a setup issue, any player preferring that Strad over the Thibout prefers name over quality. For all other pairings, the expensive violin was superior in overtones in particular in the upper register (something one might called richness or dimensionality of sound) and beat the competitor hands down.

Guys, I have a small suggestion, after hearing Brett play the opening of Mendelssohn (which I am VERY excited to hear him play in full, by the way!). However, I agree with some people who had said they thought that Eddy's playing style really suits Mendelssohn. I would suggest in the future that you don't choose the concerto purely by voting because people are just going to vote for the most well-known piece and not take into account subtleties that you might be aware of, such as which piece is better suited by which player. That's all!

Video ideas: use a tiny bow to play on a full size violin and use a full size violin bow to play on a tiny violin

Yes

Brett needs to trust his instincts more, he always second guesses himself.

Brett’s Mendy concerto at the beginning was so great as always!

When you can hear the difference through your free-from-the-school-and-only-works-in-one-specific-position earbuds...

Thanks to the Rin Collection and the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music for letting me hear these amazing instruments!

Love this video - got to learn new facts about the different types of violin and enjoy Twoset’s beautiful playing at the same time🥰 And it’s nice to see Luo Wei again after the “We became youth orchestra conductors for a day!” video!

If you are having difficulty hearing a big difference between the violins in this recording, keep in mind that the old masters were making violins in a world that didn't have recordings, and you will hear the most difference in sound if you hear them being played in person. And like Brett and Eddy mentioned, a big part of the difference is in projection, since electronic amplification didn't exist yet. So, don't judge it off of the recording.

I am so happy that you got to try these violins, and envious.

On ur other vids i got ads that had people playing the violin and they...they were FRIKIN SACRELGIOUS as HECK

Waaahh, this is so educational and still so entertaining! Thank you for another chance to learn more about the beauty of the violin!

Brett just casually flipping that violin like a boss at 17:17 lol

it's a lot easier to get into playing position after picking up a violin like that, I sometimes do that subconsciously when taking my instrument out of its case

Made me think of that Federer commercial they reacted to once, and they were horrified by him twirling a violin like a tennis racket 😅

As a non violin player I was surprised I got 4/5 too (flopped the first one), and I firmly believe it's thanks to your videos that were educational! There really is a distinct difference in quality of sound, but my favourite is by far the Guaneri. Something about it just hits the soul. Side note, I wouldn't have minded an hour long video of just you guys playing because it's very beautiful.

Thank you thank you..what an amazing chance to hear the difference between the instruments..could have listened for hours..thank you Brett and Eddy and especially the RIN Collection for giving them the opportunity and for the amazing work this collectors did. thank you again….

These guys have probably played more Strads then most violinists at this point hahaha

Not gonna lie I thought the Thibout was really impressive, yes it is slightly more narrow and not as balanced as the Strad but it was easily just as loud and rich. Honestly for a live performance the Thibout wouldn't lose to the Strad without a fight. But best one overall was the Guarneri, by an ocean.

this is such a good video honestly especially for non-musicians.

Man that 1730 Guarneri even through crappy headphones blows everything out of the water.

"that sound like millions of dollars" i'm not a musician, but i felt that

I got almost everything right with confidence, except for the last one which my gut was correct. Consider the fact that I have no experience with music instruments, have never learn classical music, seldom listen to them, I'm surprised by how much Twoset have taught me over the years. Thanks a lot, guys!

Amazing experience. Headphones strongly encouraged!

The content is always so amazing and extraordinary! ✨ Loved the Amati, have a soft spot for Amatis for some reason. Great to be able to hear them all, the historical beasts but also the "newer" makers' beautiful creations! 🍃

For me it’s easy to tell the ones I like (non violin). It’s like listening to sopranos. There’s a certain harshness in the lesser instruments that the better ones tame and turn into a larger but purer sound. That make any sense?

If I played a 10mil dollar violin I can make it sound like 100 dollars 🤩

😂 good one!

Yeah,, this just confirms what Benny said years ago. Eddy is a Guaneri player while Brett is a Strad player

Now a string player, but can actually hear the difference in some pairs. Pretty amazing. Two set violin nerds is the content I love the most from you guys!

It was interesting to see the different the things they played, presumably to test the different properties of the violin. Also, just wanted to say, I appreciate all you two and your team does. You make a 20 minute video fly by, even when it's on a topic I know next to nothing about.

I've determined that the violin being played sounds better than the one that isn't.

This and the Strad video are my favorites (idk why) but just watching you guys interact with the instruments and appreciating them makes me happy

I wish there was a way we could have been in the room to experience this (not unlike the pipe organ video). The fine details just never come across through video - but even so, the sound and differences in character for all of them are still remarkable!

There's a huge difference between the first 3 pairs. The last 2 were a bit harder to tell.

The acoustics of that room makes me wanna practice 80 hours a day

I loved the fact that towards the end they just mostly played for the love and joy of it. You could tell how much they were living in the moment. Loved that for them! And great quality content for us

Violins no. 5&6 were surprisingly well-matched when it comes to tone, but the newer one sounded "just" impressive while the Amati made me fall in love with the music. The tone wasn't stronger or more resonant, but a lot more emotional. (And I also closed my eyes when listening to these two.)

Looks again like a really interesting video. Great quality for the past few years guys 👌 Part 2 of "guess the violonist"? Please?

The moment they played that Guarneri...😨😍 It was amazing. Actually the difference is quiet obvious, I got all of them, I like this kind of content

The algorithm hit my taste with this surprisingly enjoyable choice. Love the concept of comparing the instruments. Thanks ever so much for the smile on my face

they're so afraid to misjudge, my perfeccionist self sympathizes 😣
