Conclusion: You don't need a better instrument, you need a better violinist.
-
Thanks for the comparison. Been trying to decide between these two violins for a while. It was close but I'm gonna go with the $10,000,000 one.
-
Dude you ARE worth $10,000,000! You made them both sounded great!!
-
Stunning how you were able to make the 69 dollar violin sound so good. Amazing player.
-
I love how when he's playing one violin, the other one patiently waits on the couch...
-
Antonio Stradivari seeing this: "Wait, but I sold this instrument for just $69... 300 years ago?"
-
As a non-violinist, the $69 one seemed to “ring” or produce a slight overtone that made the notes sound….thin. Thin is the word that comes to mind. The Strat sounds full, rich and warm. No competing overtones from string to string.
-
All the violins I've ever heard always sound almost exactly like the $69 one. The $10,000,000 Stradivarius violin truly sounds amazing, and the warmth, power, and stability, especially in the lower register, is unrivaled.
-
He really doesn't make the 69 dollar violin sound all that cheap.
-
Moral Lesson: You don't need a 10m-dollar violin, you need a 10m-dollar talent.
-
In my 40s and out of curiosity I took a few violin lessons. Given my experience as a violinist, I was absolutely blown away by your play and interpretation of “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.” Well done sir.
-
Goodness, whether $10M or $69, it's just a pleasure to hear you riff.
-
I would be scared to even be in the same room with a 10.000.000$ instrument
-
The cheap violin in it's wildest dreams never thought it would be touched and played like that. It's going to have a Napoleon complex for the rest of its life.
-
The strad just makes me want to cry! It has such a beautiful tone, it does all the frequencies so well.
-
I honestly can’t believe how good you make the cheap violin sound. Amazing.
-
Ray: strad has better quality, and warmth and better sound Me with my 2$ headphones from Japan: Yes
-
"If you still can't hear the difference, that's because I'm worth $10mil." - I mean... he's not wrong.... I'm sure he can make any instrument sing.
-
The biggest difference is felt by the musician or someone who is a professional listener. For the average listener, there is not much difference. The result is that you are really a skilled musician. Well done, it's really admirable.
