When I played on this $ 400 violin, my audience thought it was some kind of fancy antique concert violin.
Listen to the beautiful warm sound of the Fiddlerman Concert Violin in this review and hear my opinion as a violin teacher:
This violin review video ran completely out of hand in SO many ways!
I thought I'd do a good job creating some suspension about my 10.000 subs concert violin giveaway video by playing on it in a couple of Christmas tutorials… but suddenly people started commenting that they LOVED my upgraded violin…
I was shocked.
I had to buy expensive strings and polish him endlessly to make it up to him and to raise his self esteem again.
But it got worse…
You remember that I mentioned hitting a creativity vessel… well sometimes creativity can lead to great things, other times it just leads to craziness… doing weird voices with my husband, imitating Tel Sell (at least my memory of that from the nineties when I still watched TV) and endlessly fooling around with my camera to create so called B-roll of the violin like I'm presenting the newest Porsche… not to mention stroking the violin.
Well, watch all that monstrosity in the video above.
The sound of the Fiddlerman Concert violin is warm and full. Also it's very forgiving. This means that as a beginner violinist playing on open strings sometimes and not using a fully developed vibrato, this instrument still sounds great.
Don't be fooled by $ 30 Amazon violins. It's actually very hard to find a good violin outfit around $ 500
I see a lot of violins of this price range as a violin teacher. Most of the times everything is 'meh', but in this set the violin, strings, bow, case and accessories are ALL of very good quality.
If you feel your cheap violin is holding you back in your progress and you're looking for an upgrade or you want to start with a good instrument, I can warmly recommend the Fiddlerman Concert Violin:
