Violin

Those of you who have followed my progress in violin making will finally be rewarded here with a new set of recordings. I had them made because I felt I had reached a milestone in my violin making that established a new much higher standard of sound quality that can be heard among all 11 different violins I have recently finished. Does this mean I have "arrived". Not at all. I, above all, needed to compare how my violin sound was stacking up against really fine 18th century Cremonese violin sounds. I wanted to know in which direction I need to go from this point on. And, to my great pleasure, that direction has been clearly and successfully given by the old masters. Here, just below, are all of the new recordings made on these my new instruments listed by opus number. And, as you scroll down the following text you will come to the various recordings of antiques compared to the sounds of these violins along with photos of each of my instruments.
Op. 4 2 5 Played by Mary Grace Johnson - Paganini - Cantabile
