The Guarneri Sound Test: Can You Hear the Difference Between Two Bridges?
🎻 Traditional vs. Innovative Violin Bridges: An Acoustic Comparison 🎻
Join me as we dive into the fascinating world of violin acoustics! In this video, we’ll explore how two different bridges-a traditional design and an innovative model-shape the voice of a violin. Using my latest creation, a violin inspired by the 1743 Guarneri del Gesù “Ex Brusilow,” we’ll compare their unique sound profiles.
Crafted with precision and care, this violin represents my interpretation of the original, featuring faithfully replicated arching and stylistic elements, as if it had just left Guarneri’s workshop. Paired with my modern techniques, this instrument bridges historical craftsmanship with a contemporary voice.
🎶 Performed by violinist Angela Kang, you’ll hear an excerpt from the second movement of Wieniawski’s violin concerto-first with the traditional bridge, then with the innovative design. Can you hear the difference? (better to listen with earphones)
Bridges from Despiau Chevalets.

    Hi! What was the player's opinion? I am glad that you are imagining how the violin would look on the day it was made fresh by Del Gesu, not antiquing it to look like it might do after 250 + years.

    • @MarcoOsioViolinmaker
      @MarcoOsioViolinmaker วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thank you for your comment! The player slightly preferred the innovative model, as it offered a bit more response and clarity. However, she mentioned that if a violin is well-made, it will sound great with either bridge!

    I would like to know a few things. 1- What grit sandpaper do you use? 2- I see you use a scraper on the spruce. Do you also use sandpaper on the spruce. Can you explain why? 3- What exactly is the sealer you use? What’s the name? 4- Can you do a video on varnishing and explain what varnish exactly you use. Most videos out there are very imprecise and don’t go into the details needed to do the job. It’s frustrating. I like how slowly and carefully you work. Better than most. I’m getting ready to start my first violin and am collecting information. Do more videos please. I like the carefulness you work with. Best I’ve seen. Thank you.

    Looks to me that the significant differences between the two bridges could be the type of wood, and the fact that the 'innovative' bridge is flared out at the top and hence puts more leverage or bending moment on the bridge feet. Would be grateful if you could elaborate on this. Thank you.

    • @MarcoOsioViolinmaker
      @MarcoOsioViolinmaker 9 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thank you for your thoughtful observation! I carefully selected two pieces of wood with as similar a density as possible to minimize differences caused by the material itself. I completely agree with you regarding the flared design of the innovative bridge-it does create more leverage on the bridge feet, which likely influences how the vibrations are transmitted to the body of the violin. Your analysis is very insightful!

    I didn't expect to hear the difference. But it was very audible even for an amateur like me. For the first example I thought the violin sounded somewhat raw and edgy, with the "innovative" bridge, the edges were smoothed out.

    the two instruments are almost identical in sound, I did not find anything individual in them, just improved factory-made sound sharpness is given by casein glue and varnish hardness.
