Jay Haide Modele Artistique à L'Ancienne |
 |
| The Jay Haide Modele artistique à l'ancienne family of instruments was developed over many years of collaboration between violin makers Jay Ifshin and Haide Lin, who studied the varnish techniques of master European luthiers. The distinctive appearance of these instruments is achieved by artful shading and antiquing of the specially formulated varnish to give each instrument the patina of age, so desired by both musicians and connoisseurs. There are four different models of violins including Stradivari, Guarneri del Gesu, Guadagnini and Balestrieri. Each model aims to reproduce features and nuances of original models of these instruments, with meticulous attention to scroll and f-hole carving, top and back archings, and wear-patterns of the varnish. The instruments have a remarkably mature, rich sound for their price range. The Johnson String set-up includes precisely fitted high quality ebony pegs, a select ebony fingerboard planed for proper scoop, a Despiau "Superieur" bridge, your choice of the lightweight Wittner tailpiece with four built-in fine tuners or an ebony tailpiece with the single "E" string tuner, and Dominant A, D and G strings, with a Gold Label E string. We finish it by adding a Guarneri style chinrest made from select ebony. During the Graduation Sale Create An Outfit with a Full-Size Instrument and...

Exploring Jay Haide CellosThe three different models of the Jay Haide l'ancienne cellos are carved based on the shape and style of three highly regarded Italian luthiers: Montagnana, Ruggieri, and Stradivarius. When one refers to the model of a cello, this generally indicates the outline of the cello, or the "cookie-cutter" shape and how the f-holes are carved. Even small changes to the model of a cello can influence the sound. The Montagnana model is the same width across the lower bouts as the Ruggieri cello, but is also even larger in the middle and upper bouts. We do not usually recommend this model for petite players, as the upper bouts can be harder to get around for shorter arms. This bigger model produces the deepest sound of the three models, and tends to be very mellow, though still with plenty of projection. The Ruggieri model is wider across the lower bouts and the upper bouts than the Strad model. It flares a bit more at the corners, resulting in a curvier look. Because of the the wider bouts, the Ruggieri adds more of the deeper tones to the power of the Strad model, rounding out the sound. The Stradivarius, or "Strad", model is the most ubiquitous model used in the violin-making world. Most commercial cellos and many personal cellos follow a version of a Strad pattern. It is the thinnest of the three models, and tends to encourage a sweet and powerful sound. One final note about the three models: Although the cello body shape varies with each model, the string length remains the same. This means that notes will be the same distance apart, regardless of which model you choose.
