vi01in Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 I'll start. It's a 1790 Dallinger made in Vieanna. I didn't spell that right, I don't think. Vienna? Never mind. It's very small for a full size. Who's next? Lavender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fixnfiddle Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 A Roth & Lederer, circa 1866. Probably a German factory fiddle but it sounds sweet to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicolo Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 Of all the violins I have ever played, bought, sold, and traded, there is only one that is so perfect to me, I have never been able to part with it. It's a 19th-century instrument, evidently by an obscure violinmaker named Nicolo Giovanni. I chose my Maestronet username in his honor.

MANFIO Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 I'm currently playing a Manfio violin made in 2000, based on Del Gesù Cannon model, and a Manfio viola made in 1998, based in the Conte Vitale Andrea Guarneri viola. I'm happy with them, a father rarely complains about his children... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

staylor Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 I once had a Staylor on the way. I never knew how it sounded, unfortunately. The remaining, unused wood was sold to Josef Boazson who said it was very good quality wood. It's a shame I didn't follow it through to the end. Who knows, that staylor might have been worth millions if it had seen the light of day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ann Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 Sheila, I had read and enjoyed your violin's story some time ago, but enjoyed it just as much now as I re-read it with its postscript. May it give you many wonderful years of playing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roman Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 Right now I'm lucky and am playing on a really nice Vuillaume. Not mine though, it's a loan. Other than that I have a Bailly and an old german fiddle from about 1790. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobro Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 My fiddle is unlabelled,probably ca 100years old,probably factory-made,probably German,probably not worth much(a lot of probabilities there,cause Ive never had any"experts"look at it),but for my kind of usage(folk-music,bluegrass,celtic)it does the job.(probably....)

flamenco Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 Recently I've been exclusively playing this one http://www.geocities.com/giannaviolins/2003-3.html that I recently finished. Previously I was playing a Silvestre and a "Fabris" (likely good French), both good violins. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanceCat Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 I enjoyed your webpage. A great story & a beautifull violin. My violin is StringWorks "Virtuoso" which is working well for me at my stage of learning. Hopefully I can justify getting such a nice intrument as your "Scott" in the future!

Steve R. Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 I'm new to the board and browsing around, I decided I would add to this the newer of the "what do you play" threads as my first post. I have two violins, one is by Georg Krauch made in Vienna in 1826, the other by Carl Joseph Hellmer made in Prague in 17?? (the label has faded), I recall that 20 yrs ago it used to be just ledgible as 1795(?). Both are Stainer Model Bohemian violins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyAmati Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 I also have a StringWorks "Virtuoso", I got it about 3 months ago. It might be fun someday to go to a shop and try violins, but I heard that it is like trying perfumes, you can't try too many at a time or you get confused. Is this true?

technique_doc Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 I have an 'fine' English Violin and borrow a Testore when needed. I also have an unamed German c. 1870 and all sorts of others, mainly on loan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaumnik Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 [*]A 2003 modern italian made on Strad 1710 "Dancla" model; [*]An early 19th century Markneukirchen violin with a Johann Lippold label.
