Beautiful Sound With Ken Sullivan Original Violins
There are many qualities of the instrument itself that need to come together to create good tone and a quality sound. These elements include power, projection, balance, and evenness. Power, measured in decibels, is a great, factual way to measure how loud an instrument is. Projection relates to how the sound “carries” over distance, allowing for beautiful and effortless expression. Ken Sullivan violins all exhibit a wonderful focus that projects. Balance is centered in the strings, as it’s important that all strings have the same volume and all notes played have the same quality. Lastly, evenness refers to having all notes and strings having a timbre that blends well together. It’s not uncommon for there to be a note (or two) that either surges or lags behind – quality craftsmanship helps to overcome this issue. By allowing all four of these elements to come together, you’re able to find an instrument that offers unparalleled sound quality and excellent tone.
