I also feel less crazy for the days where I play an entire piece and scratch the A string the entire time. Why wasn’t that a thing yesterday??

Cellos and basses are one of the most respected orchestra instrument players in my school because of the fact that the instrument is significantly bigger than a violin and a viola. Especially basses because you have to stand up in order to play the bass. No surprise the cellos and basses are amazing at their jobs.

[@T4zchi]

Bass is the hardest, then Viola, then Cello, then Violin. In general, a bigger instrument will be harder to play, so Cello and Bass players have to play an entirely different way from Violin and Viola players. Imagine playing a Cello on your shoulder.

[@A_BungouStrayDogs_Fan]

Honestly, all of them have there own pros and cons. Every instrument us hard in it's own way As a violinist, I practice for my schools orchestra and we dont have chairs at the moment, so it sucks The cellos are the only ones who sit atm. No instrument should be judged by if it's harder or not. It only depends on if you enjoy it or not.

I have a question for all the violin players. Was it hard to get started? Is it hard to memorize all the notes? Was it hard to play? Do you cut yourself cut while playing? And is it a good idea to start practicing with violin as soon as possible when you want to (like in school what I’m saying is should I start the orchestra classes when I want to learn). Edit: wow u guys rlly blew up the like button o-o I didn’t know asking questions would be entertaining

[@Witherose]

Well it is a hard instrument and yes it was hard to memorize notes but you just need to practice :D also no we do not cut ourselves when we play. For school I started in fifth grade but that’s for where I live it might be different in other places.

[@cosmo1377]

Kinda

[@wireless_codes6029]

Well, it is kinda hard to start, but once you get the basics you'll get exponentially better if you practice. Let's say about 1-4 hours? I do about 2-4. Memorizing the notes are not that hard as long as you practice since the muscle memory will soon set in while you practice. It isn't that hard to play as long as you don't throw something WAY off your level. Also, by cut, sometimes my hands get a bit uhhh... sore after playing the violin for more than 2 hours straight. And yes, it is a good idea to start practicing as soon as possible when you WANT TO. Remember, practice if you want to, forcing yourself will not help you as much as playing the violin with that want.

No, no, the stringed instruments are more expensive. To play an arrangement of anything 1 pianist can play with 1 piano, you need like 5 to 10 musicians, one piece of primitive wooden junk each. And a conductor. And lots of space and time for rehearsing. Expensive. AND 2 people can share 1 piano for a 4 hands piece. Imagine the orchestra equivalent.

[@Aaaa-fr8sj]

Yes, for 5 to 10 violin it's more expensive, but here they were talking about *one* violin, and for a beginner violin that does not sound like a viola you need to spend at least 500$ I'd say. For a piano, it's at least 1500$ and if you buy one at this price it will sound like if you buy a 200$ violin.

I am no master of piano btw xD If I put my mind to it and got a professional teacher again, then maybe? Singing was always my main 'instrument' and also my major in college. Never mastered that either though lol.

I have to admit: I've taken piano lessons for 8 years (piano is my primary instrument) violin for 7 (picking up the violin again after many years of hiatus) and it's a fact that violin is so awkward to start. Just getting the right tone, bowing, spacing on the fret board, octaves, chords, left hand pizzicato, the insane amount of techniques for the instrument! so hard to do! 😂😂😂 Piano, on the other hand, is easy to start, the most common percussion instrument introduced to everyone! very geometric in layout, but it is also --- hard as f+ to master. With clean pedaling, octaves, tenths, thirds! (ugh!) coordinating two hands and sometimes different rhythms (two against three, three against four, etc), voicings. Piano is its own beast, too. Fun video. You guys always make me LOL. I wonder what is the equivalent of you guys for the piano. 😅

Oh lol. When you begin you get tapes on your instrument for the notes. Once you get to a point where you dont need that I guess you just remember, and we have ear training so you can hear when a note isn't right.
