@@hsuhorn Problem is there's also a factor out of his control when it comes to being the "best" brand of violin. Its theorized that part of the reason Stradivarius violins are deemed the best is because the weather around the time the trees were growing, so quite a few years, caused the trees in that area to seize up and produce insanely hard, dry wood that happened to be perfect for making violins. If somehow he could find a way to replicate that exact wood, or something better. Then he could possibly be the next best luthier. Otherwise he'd need to find some other revolutionary way to make violins.

Antiquing is a very bizarre concept. I had no idea it was even a thing. Certainly Stradivarius & Guarneri did not antique their instruments, & if your work is any good it will become "antiqued" on its own. Guess I'm in the school of "let new things look new & not try to covet an age that they don't deserve."
@galenhartley
6 жыл бұрын
I do agree that it's a funny concept... It does seem somewhat more noble and mature to just finish an instrument and let time have its way. And yet there are plenty of customers who prefer antiqued finishes. I really don't have a very articulate response to this idea, but I do appreciate you taking the time to comment! : )

When I was making the film I thought it was a funny thing too. As a guitarist my guitars are reliquing themselves naturally, pokes and dents (dents?) are adding to the picture. When I look at relic custom shop guitars when tuners are brushed with coffee to look old I always think it's weird. But when I saw how intriguing the antiquing process was, I sort of figured out how it can be beautiful (correct me if i'm wrong). making a violin allows the luhier to mix different caracteristics, by bending curves more or less, working on old fashioned models and shapes, giving it an extra style that can relate to glorious standards, but when youre not an expert in violin shapes, these details can be really hard to bust. In my humble opinion antiquing is just like painting on a fresh canvas that you've just made. When it comes to antiquing (and you made clear the point that it's not about fooling people or making them believe that it is actualy old) luthiers are free to give the instrument more of a texture to it. PLain varnishes can be crackled, matified, layered, painted and scratched, different tones can be added etc... very interesting and not a lazy way to work It looks funny though, to see a very gentle and precise violin maker have fun with salt and hair dryer on a 200+ hours work. Refreshing, i couldn't say why. Lotta work indeed to "thrash" a jewel. that's the punk side of the luthier haha

Like Galen said... That's just what the majority of violinist will play! If you let the average player chose between a new flawless instrument and an old looking one, most of them will chose the antiqued violin. No question, you can hide quite a lot if you messed up and that's what some colleagues will always imply. And I will let them. But to be honest, good antique varnish is quite a lot of work compared to plain finish. And if you're not good at it, most people will notice right away... So if you don't put great effort into it and look at good old instruments, it won't charm a schooled eye. Galen did a pretty good job there!

All the most expensive violins in the world look "rough" because they are old. They have a lot of character. Oddly enough it's the really cheap violins that look super clean and new. If someone is spending $15k on a violin, they want it to look like a violin you'd spend $15k on, ideally a lot more than that. ($15k is just the first price I found for a Hartley violin - just to use as a ballpark number for what his violins sell for and who might be buying them). I feel like this is a transition period for someone like Hartley. People spend $15k for a high quality violin that can be used frequently (orchestra, concert, etc). The quality and look of the violin is more important than the name behind it. Assuming Hartley's violins continue to improve and his name gets more recognition, people will start buying the violin because it's a Hartley, not because it's a quality violin that looks more expensive than it is. A buyer of such a violin will be able to get the status that comes with owning an expensive violin by showing the maker's mark, rather than showing the patina.

This has been beyond fascinating seeing it from another view....my grandpa has been a carpenter and then a ... I’m not even sure how to describe his craft. He can just create the most beautiful things from wood. One day he came across a gorgeous piece of wood that he wanted to make into something special. Sometime later he came across plans for building a violin, and said he knew that is what this piece of wood was destined to be. He practiced first. The first violin was obviously not the best, but he worked with a musician friend to perfect every piece for the right sound. Now, many years down the road, he has repaired many instruments and has worked with violinists and fiddlers for custom pieces. I have a 1/4 size violin that he made for my son...the bow strings are actually made from the hair from my other grandfathers horse (Lady passed away several years ago, so this makes it even more special at this point, even though my son outgrew the violin about 12 years ago). So, yeah, I’m crazily crying and nostalgic through this entire video!! Thanks for sharing your work!

When I was young and got my first guitar i really wanted one that had that vintage look, just imagine the SRV signature fender strat, distressed to look like the one he played. In the end I got a brand new looking California series american strat. Now that I've had it for almost 20 years its starting to show its age. the volume and tone knobs have yellowed. There's a burn on the headstock under the low E string from a carelessly tended cigarette or two while playing. There's a chip on the bottom from when my strap slipped off during a rehearsal for a show. All of this character is something personal to the instrument and carries a memory. While I appreciate the look of those distressed instruments, I think it's better to let time and adventure age the instrument. Excellent video and amazing craftsmanship. Hat's off to you!

Then you need to rehair your bow every 1-2 years, and change the strings. But it’s worth it, never drop it... obvious, but just don’t, mine broke at where the neck and body meet, thankfully it was an easy fix. Hope you get one they are beautiful

Antiquing is like pre-torn jeans. It’s a quite absurd fashion. The holes would come naturally anyway.

I have never torn a pair of jeans in my life, and I have some really old ones because I keep everything. I'd have to wait decades for them to have holes naturally.

Maybe that’s because I very often sit outdoors on the ground in parcs and I don’t have a car so I walk a lot and use a bicycle. Holes come after 3 to four years on vintage Levi’s.

I guess I cannot understand why, after such meticulous craftsmanship, one would rub it in salt, scratch it, and otherwise fein usage with such a masterfully created work. Why not your work shine and naturally reveal the ardor of its life through the musicians it gives voice to?

Hi! when I was filming the "antiquing" part of this film, I was shocked at first, because of a mix between unease and cringe. the salt part is very painful to watch after seeing hours and hours of polishing a fine work. But at the end, I thought it was a TON of fun, and I think this is a moment where the luthiers can make some aesthetic experiments to make a varnish patine just the way they want or to turn a light honey red violin into a moe subtle crackled light orange i dunno. like painting.. was fun to watch. I guess it's mainly a matter of taste for the players. Luthiers are making instruments that violonists like, in terms of color, patine etc... when you look at almost every high quality violin you can see that even if they are not 200 years old they have some kind of antiquing and patine. some are a little tainted, some of them heavily "maturated" it depends on the violonist and the luthier. it may come to how violonists interact with their instruments. the "dirt" state of the very old violins are a matter of hundreds of years, and I'm pretty sure that no violonist is going to ding or poke their violin or let it become that dirty "naturally" because it is indeed a very expensive object.

The labor of love and dedication to hand crafting a beautiful musical instrument is not unlike raising a child. Born of love, carefully crafted to be the best they can be. In the end, you're always sad and proud to see them go live their own life with the hopes it will be a great one.

Thank God there are true craftsman like you in the world! I had to watch the video twice to make certain that I absorbed all of the finesse that you coaxed out of your violin. To watch how you managed to compel the instrument to give up it's tone. I am a guitar tech and keep my instruments singing and playing properly and appreciate the craft. Great work, I only wish to have been there when first played on that beautiful stage.

@@galenhartley Guess not lol. I don't know. I'm under the impression that purposely ruining such a wonderful instrument is a terrible thing to do. This is just my perspective as a violinist (I personally take very good care of my violin so I can't really see the value in scratching the instrument, trying to make it look older, other than monetary gain). I think a violin should age with time, a worthy instrument will gain antiquity regardless which is why they're so prized. Stradivari never had to scratch his instruments.
