At 4:14, you mentioned the price of the Vuillaume at £300,000. Just for fun I took a look at that in Canadian dollars and it's $515,100.00. I'd have to work 7 years straight, no food, rent, violin strings (or taxes 😫) to be able to think about the violin. Then there's the VAT - it was 20% when I was living in England - that adds another $103,000 to the price. Maybe, just maybe if I win the lottery... 😂!
That Vuillaume sounds so deep. I guess Hilary Hahn has discovered qualities on them that are second to none. She must be the soloist with the cheapest instrument. Vuilllaumes are expensive but drastically cheaper than the other master violins.

I really enjoy Sean’s videos
Thanks Andy!

Yes. Certainly the top level JBV's can compete with the very best Italians.
