Joanna Wronko: I will play for you[br]one short piece, half of it I will play

0:00:11.910,0:00:16.809
on the 3D-printed violin [br]and then I'll switch to the normal one

0:00:16.809,0:00:20.799
so in close proximity[br]you can see the difference in sound.

0:00:25.999,0:00:28.968
(Playing the violin)

0:02:46.826,0:02:48.526
(Applause)

0:02:55.761,0:02:57.671
Jim Stolze: Thank you Joanna.

0:02:57.671,0:03:02.034
I was pretty close, I was pretty nearby[br]so I could hear

0:03:02.034,0:03:05.344
the difference also in volume, [br]I think you call that the projection.

0:03:05.344,0:03:08.825
JW: Yeah, it's actually, it's both. [br]There are two different things,

0:03:08.825,0:03:13.299
I mean one of the obvious things [br]is that the 3D printed violin

0:03:13.299,0:03:16.513
just sounds less, it's quieter in sound.

0:03:16.513,0:03:17.418
JS: Right.

0:03:17.418,0:03:22.757
JW: But it also doesn't really project, [br]right now we have mic's.

0:03:22.757,0:03:26.895
We have also a lot of extra noise [br]but normally the hall is used

0:03:26.895,0:03:29.860
for a classical music concert [br]and it's very beautiful

0:03:29.860,0:03:31.220
for its acoustics.

0:03:31.220,0:03:34.380
JS: Normally, if you were playing[br]the violin, it wouldn't mic-ed

0:03:34.380,0:03:37.540
it wouldn't be all these speakers[br]it would just be the violin.

0:03:37.550,0:03:40.032
And then there's something[br]you couldn't do right now.

0:03:40.042,0:03:42.450
You couldn't reach the people [br]in the back, right?

0:03:42.450,0:03:45.232
JW: We didn't really try it, [br]it's an experiment

0:03:45.232,0:03:46.615
but I assumed it wouldn't...

0:03:46.615,0:03:52.089
JS: I'm all for experiment. [br]Could we kill the microphone,

0:03:52.089,0:03:53.973
That doesn't sound very nice.

0:03:53.973,0:03:56.827
Could you shut the volume[br]of Joanna's microphone?

0:03:56.827,0:03:59.817
And then just listen to [br]the plain sound of the violin.

0:03:59.838,0:04:00.622
JW: OK

0:04:00.632,0:04:02.012
JS: Could you say something?

0:04:02.012,0:04:02.622
JW: No.

0:04:02.766,0:04:03.636
JS: Alright.

0:04:04.456,0:04:06.256
(Playing the violin)

0:04:13.048,0:04:15.897
JS: And now on the acoustic.

0:04:16.207,0:04:18.837
(Playing the violin)

0:04:24.915,0:04:27.670
JS: I see people in the back [br]going: "Ah, thank you."

0:04:27.670,0:04:30.235
(Applause)

0:04:32.695,0:04:34.805
JS: One other thing that I noticed

0:04:34.824,0:04:37.348
when you played the traditional violin,

0:04:37.418,0:04:41.088
your whole body posture changed,[br]you became one.

0:04:41.088,0:04:42.988
Is it your own instrument?

0:04:43.004,0:04:46.524
JW: Well, it doesn't belong to me[br]but I played for eight years now.

0:04:46.524,0:04:47.754
JS: It's yours, alright.

0:04:47.764,0:04:49.106
JW: Yeah it's my baby.

0:04:49.878,0:04:52.192
JS: And that didn't happen [br]with the 3D violin,

0:04:52.192,0:04:55.622
is it possible that you[br]become one with this instrument?

0:04:55.652,0:04:57.322
JW: Wow, that's a big question.

0:04:57.621,0:05:00.261
I think, one very practical [br]thing is that it's much

0:05:00.261,0:05:02.591
heavier than the normal violin

0:05:02.591,0:05:05.543
so I can't imagine to play [br]the whole long concert

0:05:05.617,0:05:08.147
on it as I can do on a normal violin.

0:05:09.105,0:05:14.985
But, I mean it's an incredible thing [br]that actually plays.

0:05:15.028,0:05:16.918
I can't really believe it.

0:05:16.956,0:05:23.046
It sounds like a violin actually, [br]but it's missing a certain vibration.

0:05:23.524,0:05:28.964
A special thing about every wooden violin[br]is that every one is one of a kind

0:05:28.964,0:05:32.586
because it's hand made, [br]so every single instrument has[br]

0:05:32.769,0:05:36.179
spots and notes which are [br]a little bit weaker

0:05:36.179,0:05:39.195
a little bit stronger,[br]so as a musician when you get

0:05:39.245,0:05:42.685
to know the instrument, [br]you just look for the spot.

0:05:42.685,0:05:45.337
JS: Each instrument has its character

0:05:45.337,0:05:48.859
and each 3D product [br]will be the same as the other.

0:05:48.859,0:05:50.653
Is there something especially

0:05:50.653,0:05:54.397
that you could do with this violin [br]that you couldn't do with the wooden?

0:05:54.397,0:05:57.101
OK it's obvious.

0:05:58.642,0:06:00.162
JW: I don't know.

0:06:00.225,0:06:04.185
I was actually talking to a friend today[br]and she asked a similar question.

0:06:04.185,0:06:06.153
What it would be good for.

0:06:06.153,0:06:09.003
She made actually a point [br]that I didn't think about before,

0:06:09.003,0:06:12.527
that maybe it could be used [br]for a non classical thing

0:06:12.527,0:06:14.201
for a studio thing.

0:06:14.201,0:06:17.635
When it's actually amplified, [br]because it is so equal

0:06:17.655,0:06:20.818
that you could probably [br]modify the sound much more

0:06:20.818,0:06:22.603
[br]than the sound of a natural violin.

0:06:22.603,0:06:24.923
But in the classical world, [br]I would say no.

0:06:24.926,0:06:25.816
JS: Right.

0:06:25.828,0:06:29.747
So the Ukulélé's like 10 euros, and then [br]we have the poor man Stradivarius.

0:06:29.771,0:06:30.561
JW: Yeah.

0:06:30.871,0:06:37.434
JS: Time's up. So could you please[br]just one encore on the 3D violin

0:06:37.434,0:06:39.674
and then a short piece [br]on the wooden violin?

0:06:39.674,0:06:44.817
JW: Yes, I would play a short piece,[br]Polish Capriccio,

0:06:44.817,0:06:48.363
which will show you a slow opening

0:06:48.363,0:06:52.731
and which will show [br]what the violin can do.

0:06:52.766,0:06:56.876
Although, you can't really print [br]imperfection on the violin,

0:06:56.879,0:07:00.959
which the imperfection is what gives[br]the violin beauty to music for me,

0:07:00.968,0:07:03.548
[br]it's still quite astonishing.

0:07:08.176,0:07:11.082
(Playing the violin)

0:09:35.655,0:09:39.855
(Applause)
