Wow. You think so?

Ever seen a podcast?

I wouldn't say so. He has/d a sense of humor, but is rather serious inside, which is good for music.

where you throwing buns

No He's the eric Clapton

I had this idea, too, but probably more in the extreme. This is the first time ever I have felt from watching that Dave gave a respectful, nice interview.

You should look up the video of him playing the theme from Schindler's list!

Itzhak Perlman's cover of the Schindler theme moves me to tears. Every. Time.

@@ST-gf2ms Perlman did not cover the Schindler's List solos. He is the original.

Billy Joel has had him play on at least 1 song & has had him come & play in concert with him.

Thank you very much 🥰

Thank you very much ❤️

Sure

Well no. Sorry for responding 9 months on the future, but most old violins are highly sought after for their maker/luthiers, and with the aging of the violin comes the aging of the wood basically, and with this, the wood will be less damped as it ages, it will have changes in tone and projection. The rings of the wood don’t tell us much other than their age, they don’t really affect sound or price.

@@Thekingpenguin947 - Actually, some violins from that time that were heirlooms were eaten by bugs and worms, and ruined. So, when Stradivari made his violins from old-growth wood, he treated the wood with a preservative(there's long been rumors of him using a preservative, but it's often been doubted, usually by instrument collectors and dealers). People from those times knew much more about wood types and grain and stuff like that than people from modern times; it's known that he selected his wood on purpose, and was very picky. More recently, scientists tested chips from wood collected from Strads brought in for repairs and tested it in a Geology lab on a spectrum analysis machine(at Texas A&M University; see "Stradivarius Secret Found By Texas Chemist"|Voice of America YTchannel), and the Stradivarius wood samples had traces of sulfer, chlorine and boron, which isn't normally found in wood. The wood preservative(and probably the tens of thousands of hours of playing time) working together are most likely the reason for the Stradivarius and Guernieri unique tones.

​@Thekingpenguin947 The sound will move through the wood in different ways in denser wood. If the wood is denser as in slow growth trees it will vibrate differently as the sound waves pass through the rings, for instance sound waves move slower through denser objects, which would cause more resonance. And since a violin is a resonance chamber that could definitely have an effect on the violin/violas quality. As well as 350years, seasoned wood and time and players breaking it in.

He mentioned budget cuts for the arts. It's taken its toll over the years.

Can you please explain the joke?

culture is a fluid concept. help April with her question below. I am 63 and don't know the answer either. if wealthy people supported the classical arts as they have for centuries, we would not be talking about public budgets being cut - we'd be naming our generous entrepreneurs. artist certainly can't cover the bills of their work.

@@aprilshowersstormtrooper he was talking about how the people studying his violin wanted to “knock” it or hit it to see how it responded… Mozart composed an incredibly famous piece called “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik” (“a little night music” in English). The german word for night is “nacht” which sounds the same as “knocked”

And gained so much it’s well worth it. What a sexist, homophobic, racist culture it was.

You need to have an eye exam. Blindness isn’t necessary for appreciating a musician or a personality

It’s less easy for him than the lower registers, meaning he’s probably had to practice it more and thus, counterintuitively, become more skilled up there.

​@@MatthewChristianMurray ahhhhhh. Training, training, training. 😀

I never heard that before. I’ve played the violin for many years.

@@M_SC Apparently, "axe" is a term used by all musicians except violinists.

Axe is a slang term used by American jazz musicians to describe their instrument. Perlman was always a classical musician and probably only rarely even met a jazz musician and even then, out of respect, they would not use slang.

New term to me as a singer-

@@S0ngsyngr I have to assume you are not a jazz singer

George. Jorge is pronounced horhay

thanks

Actually, the entire point went by you. Well, I do mean his respectfully. I really do. Said not with a mean voice but the player knows the difference. That is what he said, that after a certain point we cannot tell but the player can. I just wanted mention that maybe as a vital and essential point to add to your comment.

If you’ve heard the man play you might take him at his word. I play guitar on a top level but I’ll tell you the best guitar player that ever played pales by comparison to the amount of emotion this man can get out of his instrument. In fact I’ve decided that the violin is the most emotional instrument I’ve ever heard upon hearing him. Have some respect. This guy is like Jimi Hendrix or Guthrie Govan to the 100th power
