Rachell66 Posted March 24, 2021 Report Posted March 24, 2021 Hi guys, Please post here your links for violin making videos, particularly old videos. Learning about violin making, it is great to see how it was done in the olden days. https://youtu.be/b9ZgneQmJ_M The Red Violin is a beautiful movie As a new hobby, it is quite fascinating. This is for amateurs/hobby. To become professional it is a lot better to go to college. With much appreciation, Rachel
Rachell66 Posted March 24, 2021 Author Report Posted March 24, 2021 Davide Sora Great youtube channel, he is also part of the forum. Davide, that video of your Prime Note violin. Looks amazing, fine workmanship. It is perfect!
Rachell66 Posted March 24, 2021 Author Report Posted March 24, 2021 Contemporary - EViolins youtube channel By Charles R Ervin Has a wealth of information, he traced an actual Stradivarius and analysed them. Very interesting Violin making is something that can be researched and researched... More and more, there is a world of information out there. It is truely mesmerising, it is a mystery..

I hope you won't consider me on the list of "good channels of older violin makers", I'm not that old! You can guess this from the fact that my videos are in color and not black and white...

Hahaha no no no! You are a great contemporary maker! Let's not get confused! There is something about old makers, the simplicity.. Without all the bells and whistles. Davide, I like your style, you are an inspiration! Well people can post here links of great makers new and old. Preferably in colour lol

David Burgess Posted March 24, 2021 Report Posted March 24, 2021 Oh me oh my, how easily some people are seduced. Rachell, if you have a good-paying job, there will be no shortage of "starving artists" who will want to marry you, or at least hump your leg for a minute or two. Please send me a summary of your gross income, your net income, along with your tax filings for the last five years, and a photo of your leg.

I tried to contact Mr. Ervin but he never replied. Some of his videos are interesting although not for making.

Rachell66 Posted March 24, 2021 Author Report Posted March 24, 2021 I think it's just great when people like Davide post videos of violin making. YouTube is a great place where people can show their craft, just like maestronet.com where experts come to share their knowledge..

Come to think of it, you and Jacob Saunders.. Now that's a match made in heaven. I love watching anything about the violin. Sound testing, history, different makers, there was a video of Mr Ervin discussing one f whole being a mm higher than the other.. Fascinating.. I don't claim to know, or be insightfull, but I sure love to learn. I have never taken so much time researching before learning to do something. I just find violin making on a different level. I want to take my time.. I gathered a lot of information, i just can't decide on what tools to get. I am starting with cheaper wood from David Dyke. I can learn carving on that, no need to botch up anything valuable. https://youtube.com/c/LucasFabro I like this channel, great maker

I sometimes, however, wonder, given the responses of many folks when we tell them where Grandpa's "attic Strad" really came from, or how brilliant and original their amazing new theory of classical violin layout actually is on a scale of 1 to 10 (), how many poor deluded people may have innocently tried that technique out? Scary thought.

I'm not sure how violin making will mesh with the rest of your life, unless of course the kids can become productive apprentices. This violin making stuff takes a LOT of time. Speaking of which...

Rachell66 Posted March 24, 2021 Author Report Posted March 24, 2021 Kids and family are my biggest priority. They are worth my time. I love taking care and spending time with my kids. Greenhouse gasses.. you mean old people.. Who says i need to finish a violin in a month? I could do it in a year. My aim is to start with 4 hours a week

Don't take any sass about it. 19 minutes ago, Rachell66 said: Who says i need to finish a violin in a month? I could do it in a year. My aim is to start with 4 hours a week Yup. Why not, if one can.
