🎻 THINK YOU KNOW THE SOUND OF A GREAT VIOLIN? THINK AGAIN. 👂🔥

This Friday, the Monthly Listening Challenge begins.

Two extraordinary violins.
Two completely different voices.
One iconic piece: The Lark Ascending.

And here’s the twist…

Can you tell which violin you’re hearing without seeing it?

🎧 Listen like a musician.
👂 Trust your ears.
🧠 Test your knowledge.

The sound you hear might remind you of Nigel Kennedy… but can you identify what is creating that sound?

This isn’t about choosing the most beautiful violin.

It’s about discovering what your ears actually hear.

🎻 Two unique instruments. One musical challenge.

The first official challenge of our new Monthly Listening Challenge series is coming this Friday.

No cheating. No clues. Just your ears.

🎻 THE REVEAL ISN’T OVER YET…

You made your choice.
Now comes the interesting part…

Why does Bach sound so different on these instruments? 🎼

Listen to the tonality carefully.
There may be more to your answer than you think 💭

🎧 Keep watching until the end!

« Méditation » de Thaïs, l’intermezzo de l’opéra Thaïs de Jules Massenet. 🎻

As promised I will do my best to follow the requests list!

I was a bit emotional by the situation in Europe… The fire in France and Spain thus if I could bring some peace or an enjoyable moment with this piece I am happy!

Please enjoy!

And stay tuned for the level 2 coming!

The Reveal 🎻

You played. You guessed. You debated. And the answers were ALL over the place. 👀

Thousands of eyes — and ears — took on the challenge:

Which violin was the Guarneri del Gesù?
Which one was the Stradivari?

Well… the moment you’ve been waiting for has arrived.

🎻 Here is the reveal.

Were you right?
Or did these two legendary instruments fool you?

And now we want to know:

What should we put to the test next?
A different pair of violins?
A famous piece?
Or another musical challenge?

👇 Tell us what you want to hear next.
