christian bayon Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Posted May 10, 2013 Nices pieces of wood! I´ll try to deserve them!
Jeffrey Holmes Posted May 10, 2013 Report Posted May 10, 2013 If you don't get to all those nice pieces, I have a suggestion where you can send them!
christian bayon Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Posted May 13, 2013 One of my Del Gésú copy from 2012. Alina Pogostkina - Mikhail Pletnev.
DGerald StephenR Posted May 14, 2013 Report Posted May 14, 2013 Wonderful clarity from that instrument Christian! And quite a looker too...Thanks for sharing! DGSR
christian bayon Posted May 28, 2013 Author Report Posted May 28, 2013 One of my cellos (from 2006) part of this magical music! http://youtu.be/hadUi1NoFs4
Janito Posted June 6, 2013 Report Posted June 6, 2013 Beautiful reproduction of a horrible scroll - I think you know what I mean. ------------ The other parts are great!
Michael_Molnar Posted June 6, 2013 Report Posted June 6, 2013 Beautiful reproduction of a horrible scroll - I think you know what I mean. ------------ The other parts are great! Right on, Janito. This reminds me of the story of how the Japanese first copied Western machines. - dents were included! Mike
WalterOB Posted June 6, 2013 Report Posted June 6, 2013 Did CA Testore build with a template or is it probable that cutting the turns was by whim and eye? You do very amazing work, by the way. I spent around an hour on your website the other day.
christian bayon Posted June 6, 2013 Author Report Posted June 6, 2013 I can't respond for him but I try myself to work without template, only raw drawing on paper, and try to develop my artistic vision skills ! I don't agree with you Janito, I don't think it's an horrible scroll, even if it's not the cremonese perfection. I love the Milanese school.
Melvin Goldsmith Posted June 6, 2013 Report Posted June 6, 2013 Great work Christian! I love the Milanese School too........, especially when we see them in 3D, I feel there is a real natural charm in these heads.
Janito Posted June 7, 2013 Report Posted June 7, 2013 I don't think it's an horrible scroll, even if it's not the cremonese perfection. I love the Milanese school. If we leave the concept of 'perfection' aside, for me there is a significant discordance between the elegance of the C and F holes and the shape of the scroll in the Testore you have copied. ps - I have the same reaction when viewing the Brescians. .
Honore Malveaux Posted June 7, 2013 Report Posted June 7, 2013 yes i like the scroll. it is very characterful. it is tense and eccentric. also beautiful work.
christian bayon Posted June 26, 2013 Author Report Posted June 26, 2013 Now in the hands of Isabelle Van Keulen as main violin (She gave back her Del Gésù)
Urban Luthier Posted June 26, 2013 Report Posted June 26, 2013 Lovely Christian! I look forward to the article in next months Strad on 'your workbench' Chris
Peter K-G Posted July 19, 2013 Report Posted July 19, 2013 Very beautiful, but I don't believe you because this violin is at least 300 years old
Melvin Goldsmith Posted July 20, 2013 Report Posted July 20, 2013 Christian. Thanks for showing. It looks great. Is this made from the old wood you Illustrated earlier in this thread?
