Thank you so much for this video. He is my great-uncle and we never got to meet so this is a small piece of connection for me. The family lore is that he played for the Czar as a child, no mean feat for anyone let alone a Jewish boy in the Russia of the time (prob need to fact check the dates, but as far as I recall, that's the story)

Would love to get an oak leave viola from you guys

Fantastic violin, of course!

2:11 "Guarneri Del Geeh-zee" that is spoken by a true western American! hehe.

Price?

Heifetz stories are always interesting. The person who had the greatest number was Eric Friedman. If you met him at a party he could tell Heifetz stories, one after the other as long as you could stay and listen. This included the one about what Heifetz said to Friedman after Friedman had sent his first recording to Heifetz. Heifetz allegedly said "I have taught you everything I know, and you know nothing." Friedman was such a superb player he did not need to depend on the stories to create an impressive identity. He told them for the sheer joy of it.

You played it beautifully!! Full version??

Igino Sderci made the viola played by Pietro Farulli in the celebrated Quartetto Italiano.

2:05 Good shredding there.

It sounds muffled, that's a rich sound?

Nostalgic for me, that was - very good playing of a Mazas study which I used to play when I was learning the violin 60 years ago. Thank you!! 🎻It was always a nice one to play, not just a technical exercise.

Marvellous instrument. Full, rich sound❗️

Sympathisch!!!

:)

Wounderful

Oh, the sound of that 3/4 is beautiful. It is exquisite work ❤

I like this guy more than Heifetz 🤔

Where can I purchase a viola like this one?

The sound is so warm and lovely!

Tina is AMAZING!!! Wowser!!! ❤

the background music appears too noisy affecting Mr. Hans particularly audiences . please consider !

Nice playing. Nice sound.

You sound very nice. Do you know what strings are on that violin?

What's British about it ? Just a guess.

Sounds very nice. Wikipedia says many of his violins were made by guilds and sold under his label.

I have four E H Roth violins made from different time in my collection. All are hand made. They are all have wonderful sound. And, their sound qualty and volumn are all super for a modern violin manufacture workshop.

I know I will be burned and scorched for saying this but we have no one like Heifetz in the violin world today and we never will again. We have fine violinists, but hardly any great artists. What we have are mostly a lot of Heifetz imitators. Anyhow, it's nice to hear/see this interview. Only a moment or so was included in the Heifetz film (2011.) As a Benning customer for many years, I will attest to how good this shop is - and there have been 3 generations of Bennings working there for many years now.

Can you tell me please, did Jasha Heifetz use only stock height bridges, or did he ever cut them down. Thanks for any help. C.e.usa

The smile at 16:55 is great.

Though he looks serious, he must have been smiling inside! 😁

You rehair as well, right?

Never could. Heifetz was a pain up my bum. My hands and wrist simply wouldn't accept his finger position on my bow hand . And then Ivan Galamian entered into my education. ❤ Pull the bow with a steady energy originating directly from your chi. Worked like a charm. The original spiritus involved was my mentor William Magers, a former Galamian student, and my viola Teacher at Arizona State University. I was one of five students, which gives you a clue regarding his status. He said to me, "You need more than Arizona. Study at Meadowmount. At Juilliard.""You need Paul Doktor, the #1 Violist on this planet." So off to Juilliard I went. Whilst running round this lecher's dining room table in my tennies, my peers in Manhattan asked"why are you studying with Paul Doktor, when you had Bill Magers??" Sometimes you have to go all the way round the world to find home.

Sweet and warm tone!❤

Where is your company located?

So rich and luscious lower side, and singing on the higher notes! Gorgeous.

A spacious sound, almost as though the maker has been able to add a sort of nostalgia to its voice.

I find there is something compact and singing about the sound of this one.

Nice quality but with a little extra lyricism.

Nice decent sound of a quality built instrument.

I love the sound of a viola. Very well done. Thank you Sir.

beautiful sound!!!

Thank you Sir. I love your craft. I am sure that you make most beautiful instruments. A very nice story.

I can visualize the gondolas. Thanks. Very well done.

Excellent playing and a very good violin. Collin-Mezin pre 1905 violins are dynamite!

Sounds quite melodious. You seem to play well. Thanks for the demonstration of this beautiful instrument.

Bravissimo!!!

The music makes it hard for me to hear what is being said 6:56

I hope one day, perhaps, I could play scales that sounded that sweet and clear.
