Musical Connectionz: November 2005

MANUFACTURER: Woodwind & Brasswind
MODEL:Karl Willhelm 2000
PRICE: USD $1,377

The Woodwind & Brasswind company offers a unique opportunity for those players seeking out a violin outfit: you can mix and match a bow and case to fit your needs and pocketbook. We reviewed the Londoner One Star bow and the Bellafina model 500 case for this review. The tone carried exceptionally well in this violin, giving it a powerful sound. We also like the antiqued oil varnish and flaming.

MANUFACTURER: Scherl & Roth
MODE: R301E4L
PRICE: $1,305
This violin has a nice, even feel, noted one of our teacher reviewers. The sound was rated good to excellent, with depth and clarity on the first three strings, but a slightly whispery G string. The varnish was heavy for our tastes but didn’t seem to harm the overall tone and projection. The outfit comes with a brazilwood bow that is heavy but plays well. Although the soft bridge, lack of an E-string tuner, and tight pegs were frustrating, this instrument was more playable than many of the other violins we assessed. The strong point of the R301E4L violin is its deep, well-rounded sound and graceful playability.

MANUFACTURER:Wm. Lewis & Son
MODEL:Orchestra WL80E
PRICE: USD $705

The violins from Wm. Lewis & Son are often a favorite among many students. The company has all of its instruments initially adjusted at its Ohio facility to meet MENC compliance—making for easy tuning and great quality setup. The Orchestra violin outfit includes rosin, a Glasser fiberglass bow with synthetic hair and plastic grip, and is packaged in a heavy-duty, thermoplastic case.

MANUFACTURER:Stentor Conservatoire
PRICE: USD $299

For a beginning student, the Conservatoire provides a stalwart and reliable starter fiddle. The craftsmanship, although clumsy in spots (thick varnish, rough carving on the scroll and f-holes, and slightly inconsistent purfling), doesn’t detract from the sound of the violin. We detected slight wolf tones but found this instrument very playable, with a warm, balanced tone. Replacing the chin rest and tailpiece would enhance the look and feel of the violin tremendously, and could be done cheaply. If you know of a student looking for an inexpensive violin, this is a good outfit.

LYRICS!

I didn't mean it
When I said I didn't love you so
I should have held on tight
I never should've let you go
I did nothing
I was stupid
I was foolish
I was lying to myself
I could not fathom that I would ever
Be without your love
Never imagined I'd be
Sitting here beside myself
I didn't know you
I didn't know me
But I thought I knew everything
I never felt
The feeling that I'm feeling now
Now that I don't
Hear your voice
Or even touch or even kiss your lips
Cause I don't have a choice
What I wouldn't give
To have you lying by my side
We belong together
When you left
I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back baby please
We belong together
Who else am I gonna lean on
When times get rough
Who's gonna talk to me
Till the sun comes up
Who's gonna take your place
Baby nobody else
We belong together
I can't sleep at night
When you're all on my mind
Bobby Womack's on the radio
Singing to me
'If you think you're lonely now'
Wait a minute
This is too deep, too deep
I gotta change the station
So I turn the dial
Trying to catch a break
And then I hear Babyface
I only think of you
And it's breaking my heart
I'm trying to keep it together
But I'm falling apart
I'm feeling all out of my element
I'm throwing things
Crying
Trying to figure out
Where the hell I went wrong
The pain reflected in this song
Ain't even half of what
I'm feeling inside
I need you
Need you back in my life baby
When you left
I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back baby please
We belong together
Who else am I gonna lean on
When times get rough
Who's gonna talk to me
Till the sun comes up
Who's gonna take your place
There ain't nobody else
We belong together
