The back was really highly flamed, neck, ribs too.
Top was really nice spruce, (but it’s probably Japanese wood. Since at the beginning of Suzuki violin, they used Japanese materials for almost all of their products. Unfortunately, Japanese materials are not so high quality compared to European materials, from the point of sound.) .
Comparing F-holes to other violins, this one has really nice shape and well finished.
And neck scroll. It’s really well balanced, and perfect shape.
Considering these points, I thought this was handmade by a well-experienced craftsman.

（figure 1: try to put new strings on it ）
（F-hose is also well finished, right?）
How was the sound? Yes, it was preeeety good.
I’d never had such nice sound before. Treble sound was easy to play and beautiful, lower sound was like a human bass voice.
I don’t know how to tell, it’s difficult to describe sound by words.^^;) especially in English.
Anyway, it was the best sound for me at that time, I was crazy about that violin. I played all the time. I was practicing Concerto No.3 of F.Seitz at that time, I felt "Waaah, I became so good at playing this tune!" Hehehe, of course it was a kind of silly confidence.
But few weeks later, I noticed something. It makes a weird noise sometimes.
Like a metallic sound, like electric guitar sound. Why???
Even though I play classical violin, why it makes sound of hard rock? ^^;)
I noticed it’s when I play double string sound. (I don’t know how to say that, is it correct? )
When I play 2 strings at the same time, the vibration of violin is huge.
So it might have been some cracks at somewhere. But I couldn’t find at all.
It was a mystery…

I have a Suzuki No 6, inherited from my grandmother, who received it in the year 1920. I commented about it on an earlier post, after reading about the one your purchased. I would be interested in learning more about it. Unfortunately, I have not learned to play it.
ReplyDeleteI have also found your story about your violin making efforts to be quite interesting.
