Yes I agree, all of his violas are visually stunning.

Wartime Consigliere, Maybe you could offer $700.00 for the violin and then you have more money left for a tuneup and new strings. It looks like a decent instrument for the money.

That is a beautiful viola.

I think everybody hears fuzz or scratch under the ear but people a little distance away will not pick this up. Maybe you need to focus on more scale practice in the third and fourth octave or maybe it is an E string or soundpost issue. Maybe you could have someone else play it and listen for this problem.

I think that when one has a mishap with a tool and is seriously injured it is more due to lapse of focus or concentration on where both hands are than say skill or education.

That is a nice looking instrument and with a good setup could be an amazing player.

The first Maestronet page no longer has the discussion topics listed and am glad to know why. I now just click on forums and they come up in a slightly different format but if it helps cuts down on th he spam i am all for it as the site has been bombarded with disgusting ads in the last month.

Of interest to look out but not a big fan of this style of art. Thanks Rue.

Have never seen this style and certainly looks like a fun bow to try out but dubious as to how it would work out.

Good work!

I have never seen a back decorated quite like this so thanks for posting.

50 million dollars for a pastel picture by Francis Bacon that looks to be completed in two hours time. Crazy world. At first I was thinking that this must have been a collection of his old essays and was surprised to see there is also a similar named abstract artist.

I was the tenth.to like and enjoyed this short and sweet video as is always exciting to hear new material for the first time and obviously the audience liked it immensely from their applause. I was wondering how long it would take to compose and polish a shorter piece such as this.

Thanks for bringing her to my attention as I find them interesting to watch. The one on vibrato she shows clips of 5 different players on the same few measure. I was taught not to hold the neck like James Ehnes does : )

I do find TwoSet videos interesting and a pleasant diversion from the sometimes stuffiness I so often perceive in the violin world.
