In a documentary I watched it said he often took a month off every now and then and when he did practise it wasn't hours and hours a day. I found that pretty amazing. Just shows how it's quality of practice not quantity that counts!

The price doesn't matter.....it's whatever the tone the player prefers...i can't believe you just brought up the price of them and compared the quality through that...

Heifetz is my absolute hero. We can not aspire to be like him, but only to sit and gawk at him in amazment.

I'm not 100% sure. But strad costs more than guarneri. Few more million bucks. Although if it was several hundred dollars, it doesn't really make a difference, but we're talking about ,"millions" They simply can't afford that for playing, and strad has higher chance of breaking, its strings are fragile. About donating. He "might"'ve donated strad because he wanted to donate that's higher in price value. If he donated a guenari, people might think he wanted to keep the strad,which is more expensi

Then how do you explain that many great players preferred Guarneri?
Henryk Szeryng owned both Guarneri and Strad, he soon donated his Strad and kept his Guarneri which he used for most of his recordings
Sarah Chang and Midori Goto are both exclusive Guarneri Violinists
as I said, it's a matter of taste
Both have excellent sound quality, you just have to choose
Strad has a balanced tone thoughout it's range
A Guarneri is warm on the low notes and aggressive on the high notes...

That is wrong. Strad was, is, and will be the best and finest violin ever. Finished.

thats untrue, the highest price for a strad at the moment is around 13 million dollars. i would say that they produce very different sounds and are very differnt to play. i personall like the sound of the strad better |
