Can't tell you how much I appreciate this documentary. I AM A 62 YEAR OLD VIOLIN STUDENT. MY ADVICE IS DONT EVER GIVE UP A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT,EVEN IF YOU CANT READ MUSIC, YOUR EARS CAN GUIDE YOU BE EXTREMELY PATIENT. I REGRET HAVING STOPPED VIOLIN AT 6TH GRADE. THOSE
It is such a pleasure to watch, and enjoy, a video without loud, annoying, monotonous, bland, senseless, insipid, mindless, distracting back-ground music! Thank you so much to this video maker!
Dear Eduard, Thanks for putting this video on TH-cam up on your channel. I had it up on my channel until the folks at NOVA and or their PBS stations black balled it and deleted it. So don't be surprised when the same thing happens to you and your channel and have it removed. Best of luck, Keith Hill
Thank you for an enlightening documentary. The question remains, though, about how clever, technological, skilful, knowledgable and understanding our antecedents were in many areas of the sciences. Will we ever have that inquisitiveness satisfied?
The one thing seemingly not discussed much is the age of the instruments , 250 years or more . Maybe these top line instruments being made today will perform as great as a Strad . does today . All stringed instruments that are made well, like a vintage Martin or Gibson improve as the wood ages and seasons . Patience , dear listeners
It has, since the making of this video, been pretty well proven that Strads and DeGesu's etc. do NOT sound any better than modern makers. Blind fold tests have over and over again showed listeners cannot distinguish a 'Great' violin from 18th century Cremona from the best modern makers. The importance and expense of such instruments is in their historical and antique/art value NOT in either great sound OR playability, though most Strads and other Cremonese violins sure have both. What year was this video made?
Sacconi destroyed many a Stradivarius violin by re-graduating the back, this unknown Mckay has not been touched by Sacconi that may explain why it has such a powerful concert sound! Who would "touch up' a painting of the Dutch masters or the like?
I remember seeing this program when it aired. Very interesting stuff. I wonder how many of today’s top makers were influenced by this information. We certainly seem to be in a new golden age of violin making, with instruments that finally do compete with top older instruments.

Did you ever figure out why You Tube deleted your video?

Thank you very much. Most greatful.
Well-structured detailed info thanks.
Fascinating study of acoustics!
Some influence is accounted by the aging of the wood, now over 300 years since construction, something we cannot duplicate.
Thank you, I get something out of this everything I watch this.😅

When you get an old you should respect the way the maker built it that doesn't mean regulating that means just set it up and play it for what he built

Not to mention three hundred years of tweaking by luthiers on each instrument.
這部影片覺得需要帶到諾亞方舟裡面去。我在影片中獲得了很多的靈感。他可能會在接下來的。很常的時間。佔據我製造小提琴的想法？再一次感謝你。
Говорят, их делали из деревьев, которые росли в Малый ледниковый период, но это не убедительно.
Lost varnish recipe? More like lost varnish over time.

Every tree grows up in its own, very specific microclimate.
