tango Report post Posted January 6, 2020 Hello all I tested my last violin with an expert collector and concertmaster. The test was successful so we compared with another violin, a well reputed and more experienced luthier than me. The sound of the other instrument seemed to be more powerful but really I don´t know if what I heard was some "hall sound" (resonanse?) . The sound of my violin is heard all outside the box. The other seems to be played in a subtle resonance chamber. The sound is nice in both. After thinking some, the violinist say to me: "I guess this violin would sound more (mine). May be it due to be new or it suffer exesive tension IE: a little large soundpost. The next step would be test both in a theatre but I see difficult to repeat the experience. I did nothing from that day because I went for hollydays but in few days I will be at the shop. What do you think about violins when you hear the sound all outside of the box or when you hear the box like a "little hall". I guess some hall resonance is better. Thanks for any thoughts Regards, Tango Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
