I played that Guarneri for about 2 minutes when Elizabeth Pitcairn (and her "Red Mendelssohn" Strad) visited with the Southern California Association of Violin Makers several years ago. I hoped to get to the Strad, but the allowed time was up by then. Thank you, Dr. Sloan, for your guardianship of these two gems of the luthier's craft!

I, too, was lucky to be able to briefly play the Jackson Strad when Doc Sloan brought it to one of our violin makers meetings. Thank you Cristian for this video, the interview with Doc Sloan and mostly your wonderful playing demonstrating the two!

he is a wonderful man with a generous heart. I'm fortunate to know him.

Thank you for sharing this amazing interview with Mr Sloan. And aspecial thank you to you, for playing the violin.❤

That is a good presentation between Strad and Guarneri. Sond difference is obvious - Strad being much lighter and brighter in tone, Guarneri is full and fatter without those crisp higher tones.

both beautiful violins!

I would love to play these and just listen to them

Love to hear this interesting stories 🎻❤️

For my personal taste I would prefer the Guarneri :) what a powerful sound

Yes, I agree !! Guarneri has better sound than Strad ....

Great video, love the beautiful fiddles 🎻

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing!😀👍

Wonderful 😊

I loved your playing at the end.

Beautiful!!!!

This Jackson strad has a top that is under 2mm in most places, due to having wood removed by folks other than Strad's original build. Who knows why. But my guess is that its original sound was a bit "beefier".

Very interesting!

Succes !

Beautiful interesting

Nicolo AMATI is the pionner of perfect violin sound ! but its a Sweet and Shy sound !!!! STRADIVARI and GUARNERI adapted perfection with power of.projection and regulatity in all frequency !

L' uno e l'altro mondo...

The guarneri definitely sounded more powerful and have a fuller tone.

Guarneri revoluciono el sonido , il canone seria como una guitarra jackson o gibson de ahora dando un sonido diferente para la época eso lo hacer ser el mejor violín de todo los tiempos!!!

These violins have been heavily modified and tampered (Baroque neck removal, re-graduated top and bottom plates, replacement of the original short bass bar with larger modern type, etc) by arrogant violin technicians over the past 2-plus centuries. Therefore, the sound doesn't sound or project like the original sound that was made by these master violin makers.

@@CristianFatu his point is that they are very different from when they were first built. While the neck could be put back to the baroque length you can't make the wood thicker. You could replace the top completely by maybe finding some old trees somewhere that have tight grain. I believe some luthiers would make baroque style instruments but I don't know if the measurements are available for top thicknesses originally. I believe there is at least one strad on a museum thst has the original length neck. It might have the original top and back too.
