I didn't like A, and seeing the comments seems like I'm not the only one. 10k my ass, give me that 1.5k violin any day.
WORD! Violin C FTW!
Goes to show price is not everything! You're just paying for brand or history of the violin
thats very funny. Ithink C and D sounds best (C is my favourite) and A has an bad sound. I couldn`t believe that A is the most expensive one...
Sonnen blümchen IKR❗❗❗
Same here! The lower register on A sounded awful even compared to B. Why is it $10K? Famous maker having a bad day?
well, the second I saw the first one. I knew by the "damage" that's the most expensive one xd
Sonnen blümchen same XD
Same
Jesus Christ I thought A was the cheapest one wtf
It's ok. I thought the same too. I thought C was the 10k violin.
Me too lol
Greek heree
Ditto! I think you have to try harder for the cheaper ones, so he may have naturally worked harder and sounded louder on those.
Same here! A was harsh, gritty and cold. C was best in my humble opinion, but every one is entitled to their own opinion.
I am pretty confident this is correct!
A 600
B 950
C 10000
D 1500
Edit:
Well I was pretty wrong lol
c is really nice
Pls explain why Many of us feel de 10k one has the worst sound
@@kunalvm I don't know if this is the actual reason, but the price is heavily determined by the prestige of the maker, the kind of wood and more. But the actual sound and resonance of the exact pieces of timber in an instrument can still vary immensely in any price range. Still, i also think it's quite likely that this guy's microphone doesn't represent the true sound too authentically.
B10000, D 1500
I didn't get it right ... but I must say that the $1500 one sounds so beautiful.
agreed the $1,500 sounds good
Tru C sounded so much like 10K
Well, I read all the comments. My guess is like you, C is very nice to me
I was sure #3 was the 10 grander, something about the sound. Wonder what makes it different from the others.
True!
I must say, as a violinist, A is not that good as C. I prefer C than the others.
No hard feelings, just an honest review.
As a violinist, maybe you can tell us curious folk why C sounds so much better than the others? It seems like it's the favorite in the comments I've read, and few people liked the 10 grander (A).
DeadlyChinchilla. Well as a violinist myself I can say it's tone was the best, it also wasn't a choked as the rest were on the higher notes. The notes were much smoother on the bow changes an were sharp an direct but not piercing.
Now i wonder if the bows were also different or the same because that would play a big part also.
I am kinda mad A cost that much because it would have the 600 dollar sound imo. But expensive violins aren't pricey due to musicality most of the time, just history if anything.
DeadlyChinchilla
People like the C) most.
@@DeadlyChinchilla resonance.
I did not like the most expensive one at all...
I think D sounded the best
Same! So rich
Ling Ling could tell without even listening to them...
Or looking at them
Ling Ling world have been able to tell within 40 seconds of the video's beginning, before any of the actual playing began.
Wow, interesting. I thought that the nicest sounding violin was the cheapest one, with the 10,000$ one coming in second.
A = sounds expensive, mellow
B = cheaper, bright, a bight harsh
C = ? bright clean resonant
D = mellow, nice
A = so-so
B = nice
C = $$$ nice
D = $$$$ also very nice
600 = B
950 = C
1500 = A
10,000 = D
JC I said the same.
I also thought D was the best
Same. I liked the $10,000 and $600 the best but I thought the $600 was better
I thought A was the worst one tbh
I think D is the most expensive
Edit:WHAT ON EARTH
from cheap to expensive
A D B C
lol
completely wrong
maybe it wasn't the best idea to compare sounds while eating
Commandster I thought the same ._.
really like the sound of C tho
same felt like C sounded really good
lol same my guess was A D C B
Jeffrey nice profile pic!
hope they make this season a good one
First song I thought, from most expensive to cheapest:
C
D
B
A
Second song I swapped D and C and preferred the sound of D. Fun to know it doesn't have to cost a fortune to make beautiful music.
Exactly the same
Cheap to expensive:
A D B C
Edit: oh my lord the more expensive one sounded the worst tbh. At least B was before C 🤷
You made even the lower priced ones sound amazing.
For me the best is the D
My fav was c tbh
I"m amazed. I was absolutely certain C was the cheap one, because it sounded darker and more closed-in to me. Amazing how good both the $600 and $950 ones sound!
Well i know what 10k violin not to buy lol.
C definitely blew them all out of the water.
Any chance on posting the makers?
Try moving the sound post. Changing strings.
Proof that not all expensive violins sound the best
I honestly can't tell the difference because you played them all absolutely beautiful 😉
you can still tell the difference. stop making an excuse to compliment
Seriously
You are great 😍😍
I thought that ‘b’ is the 10000$ 😅
A: Harsh and scratchy
B: Bit better but scratchy
C: A bit scratchy too
D: mwa mwa mwa perfection
In order CBDA
I couldn't be any more wrong HAHAHA
The 1,500 one sounds so pretty, tho. It was my favorite TT TT
testing my ears for music
A: A bit rough around the edges. Still nice $950
B: A bit rougher than A, but better than A. $1500
C: A lot better than the last two. My guess this is the $10,000 one
D: Sound like the violin was fighting Rob the whole time. $600
Edit: wtf
D is much louder, but i can't tell if this is better or not. C sounds smooth and clean but i have also to ask. Are all violins have same strings on them ?
We have to listen the difference between the violins, not the strings, right?
Well, after i saw the answers i surprised that the first one is the most expensive, and without know the answer, the C should be my choice. Sounds amazing.
I guessed A and C but had B and D mixed up. A had the clearest sounds on the higher end.
Im saying..
Best to Worst
D C B A
OHH FIDDLE STICKS......Probably D sounds the best to me caue my violin in in that price range so thats what im used too.
Amazing! Could you be so kind to reveal which brands and types were the various violins? Could be a reason to choose for one of them:)
I think it is always hard to guess from the outside when you play it yourself it is much clearer but I thought that the second one was a little flat in the sound on the G string and the first one felt like it really opened up on the G string. You played it amazing on all of them though
My favorite was C, then A. What violin was the C one? I wanna purchase it! Only 1500 and I fell in love with it!
A was my favourite. It sounded the clearest without sounding cheap and harsh, it also sounds very smooth and more detailed imo. I don't get why so many people chose C.. C sounds very muddy and not detailed enough to me. I guess people like darker sounding violins.. But not me lol, if you want to make it less bright use an EQ..
I prefer slightly darker violins so I enjoyed B quite a bit, but I couldn't decide between B and A being more expensive. I'm not surprised A was since many 10k violins are marketed as "professional" or for "advanced students" and Luthiers seem to focus on projection and precision above all else at this price point. Every violin in this category I've played sounded somewhat sterile to me and shockingly loud. I personally prefer the 2-5k market where you get some sweeter and more charcterful tones even if the instrument loses a little clarity. My current violin was around 3k and I don't think I'll be upgrading anytime soon until I can find the right instrument that has both the warmer sound and the punch and precision of a higher grade instrument.
It sounds like they're all $10k. Prob just me loving the Violin xD 🎻
liked A , B liked it more of the same like A , C didn't like , sounded somewhat sterile ... D was different than A and B , was a little more smooth i considered , warmer! ... now the results... keep in mind that i do not play violin and also i do not know how yt is afecting the audio ... A~B >C , D interesting
I got the 10k right. The other three i gave up on because i didn't like any of them.
In fact when i was thinking about them, i did get them all right. But the middle two were a bit overlapping.
From cheap to expensive
D B A C
I'm quite happy that I can pinpoint the cheap ones..
While TH-cam audio and what's probably the onboard mic of the camera isn't an ideal test and none of them sounded terrible, like others I too thought A was the least expensive fiddle.
From most to least
1.A
2.C
3.D
4.B
Ehhh I was close. Had to put headphones on! 😁
In truth, I couldn't hear much of a difference.
Whaaaaaat??? I almost picked "A" as the $600 one....sounded the worst to me...omg 😱😂
I'm in 6th grade I play the violin and I do have to play my heart will go on.
B was definitely cheaper than C. The sound vibrations for C were much richer and it was a very stark contrast. But my first guess was that A was the cheapest. It had a funny sound to it. But overall, it's interesting how all instruments seem to have their own personalities. It's almost like they are people
A and C were resonant while the other two almost stopped as soon as the bow stopped. It's not always about sound, the proportions of a violin are also extremely important as they can impede the violinist from getting the best sound out of the instrument if off.
Crazy. I thought D had the best sound by far.
My answer was (best to less good) C-B-D-A 😁 I actually loved C so much. But you played all of them great.
I'm looking for a violin to play some metal solos on so idk much about them but I'd D sounded best to me since it had a deep tone in comparison to B and C sounded great too. B,A,C,D from worst to best for me.
I know it's been a while, but what violin is C??? I loved the sound and I'll be in the market for one soon!!
That Tchaikovsky Concerto 3rd movement though ooo!
From most expensive to least expensive I think it would be D,B,C,A
No way! Well I guess I like the sound of a $600 violin better
from cheap to expensive: A B D C
wow i was so wrong
I thought B and D had the best sound. I've been playing a £450 violin for nearly 35 years, with only being loaned a £1000 violin for 12 months one time. Maybe it's time to upgrade and I'll find what I'm looking for for not too much.
Can you please share the 600£ violin model ? Thank you
I thought it was D A B C from low to high (D was noticeably worse than the rest, B sounded resonant and articulated, C was darker with really nice varnish and I didnt notice anything in particular about A and maybe not paying attention. But watching again I think it followed by C has more character than the rest.
Every violin you play sounds amazing 😍
D is most expensive, B and C are same, A is cheapest.
Tbh they are all too much for me to afford....
What was the 600 dollar one that one sounded the best! Was it a good set up also?
First! I am actually so first i might be the first one to see the video! nice video rob :)
I was ALMOST right. My guess from cheap to expensive: D C B A
It sounds like C is the most played through, that’s probably why people are saying it sounds the best
Wow. To me A and B sounded almost exactly alike, C sounded cheap, and D had the best sound! I'm pleasantly surprised that D wound up being the cheapest one, and the second most expensive sounded like shit to me! 😂
abdc
the $10,000 one sounded so bad though..... wow.... and the two best sounding were c and D ... wow...
cheapest to most expensive:
D, B, C, A
Crushed it! I personally preferred C, but from appearance I could tell A was an older / more antique violin - only way any of these instruments would be worth the $10k price tag. Generally speaking, the instruments with lower costs didn't have as much complexity in tone and didn't hold tone as well (most obvious when plucking e string). D especially had a factory violin sound to it (very bland). Your intense vibrato definitely hides some of that bland tone though. Another observation: on the last note of the titanic piece with violin C, it also sounded like there was a dead spot on the fingerboard.
$600 - D
$950 - B
$1500 - A
$10,000 -C
Ugh so close >
What was your opinion when trying them blindfolded? Did you classify them correctly? Also, had you played them before without the blindfold?
Based on this recording, C was my favorite but A was my least favorite though! I want to know what kind D was because I think I want one! It sounded very strong for it's price.
Had to listen again in case I was going mad, but no, still prefer the 600 dollar violin best!
Wow I was dead wrong about the prices... I thought cheapest one sounded the nicest!! But what I really had to comment on was that your technique is impeccable. I was tripping out on how parallel your bow stayed to your bridge even while blindfolded!
I did not get them right but the C one I think it was the best sounding one.
a has a wonderful sound
I thought the price was in ascending order. A being the cheapest and D being the most expensive.
A B C D i love all the sound's cause its way more better than my violin that is cost for about ($95-$100)
Imma guess C A B D (cheap to expensive)
Wow i liked D the best
I really loved A sound and B was a disaster
1- C-D-A-B -4
Oh lord 🤣 i think i should start learning an other instrument
I think C and D is the best
600$ might be cheap for a violin..........
But my brother plays a 20$ cello he found and repainted😂.....
AND he is studying with me at conservatory(edit: the cello was found free at a dump-the supplies to repair it was either borrowed or 5$😂😂😂
Recycling 100
Wow, so weird! I'm with everyone else! Totally thought A was the cheapest and C the most expensive, by sound and appearance. What violin is C? It almost looks like the Fiddlerman Soloist which is around that price?
My assessment;
A: Good
C: Bad
D: Worse
B: Much worse
I cant tell the difference in price, but I do have a preference for B. I think for most people, the slight timbre differences is what's going to matter.
D is most expensive followed by c then a than b , which is cheapest
C is the best in my opinion, it had a tone to it that i liked alot.
It's not a fair comparison, because we only heard "A" on both high and low register....all the rest were played only on the lower register. Well...this is my guess:
A - $950
B - $600
C - $1,500
C - $ 10,000
Definitely the 1,500 sound is the best, the D then B , I thought the A (10k) was the cheapest 😂
did they all have the same sting set though? for some reason the most expensive one (A) sounded the worst
C was my favorite. This is good, if I take up violin, I won't have to mortgage the house.
I liked the B and C violins the most. I thought B was the most expensive one. I didn’t care for A that much. 😮
from expensive to cheap C D B A :)) lol
Hey Rob, please make a tutorial of how to create such a nice sound!
I noticed a lot of people prefer C. In my opinion also, C has the best tone. Thanks for this great video!
Better violin quality doesn't depends on the price coz if the expensive violin's really nice and old it doesn't mean that the sound quality's really smooth comparing to a cheaper price where you can actually hear the violin sing like an angel well... I rather choose it.
I got all of them wrong
Soham Mandal join the club😔
B d a c
I wasn't even close, ha ha ha
1. B 2. A 3. C 4. D
I love these tests. D sounds noticeably restrained like it is struggling to produce the music compared to the other 3. A, although being the most expensive has a very brash and forward personality that I personally don't enjoy. However it is my experience that many "professional" violins have this character because they have to be able to project in a concert hall against many other players and it is difficult to make a violin that projects very well AND has a sweet tone. B is definitely my favorite with a warmer and more melodic character and more colorful sound than C. I love these tests, they show the price does not equal 'better' sound. This is why you should always play instruments yourself without looking at prices and then pick your favorite and hope you can afford it!
I Guess A most expensive the rest cannot tell C then D and B maybe
As instructed, I paused the video and my guess is : A - $950; B - $600; C - $10,000 ; D - $1500
A sounded the worst to me by a wide margin. C was the best by a wide margin...
Don’t know about the pricing, bet the best to me sounded D. And the worst C
Good job not telling us what kind of violins they were!
