Helicore, Ascente, Fiddlerman, Prelude I know this is not the most honest comparison because these other strings were recorded in our old building and the studio was much bigger and there's a lot more reverb. I don't think it's right to add reverb to the recording of Alphayue to even it out, but I thought about it. Why do we make these comparison videos? We know that purchasing a string instrument is a big decision, and every instrument is unique. Since you might not live nearby, or be able to play the instrument (yet) we're here to play them for you and let you hear the ACTUAL instrument you will receive. We make these videos for instruments at the Master level and higher, and request that it be used for serious inquiries only since they are very labor intensive. To have one made with some of the instruments you are considering, contact us: Email: [email protected], or Phone: 800-595-0592.
