I actually could tell the Golden Tourte really easily because it was the only one where the high notes somehow didn't hurt my ears. (Not criticism, I love violin, I just have sensitive ears and the high notes always seem to make me wince, no matter how good the playing is. Except with the Golden Tourte, magically no wincing, favorite bow ever). Similarly the cheap one was easy because the high notes hurt much more than with the Peccatte or early Tourte. And then telling the difference between there early Tourte and the Peccatte is mainly that the Peccatte sounds more... how can I put this... powerful? Yeah that feels like a good word.

[@mohamedb737]

no him second guessing his instincts and being wrong everytime is what makes his charm. Confidence is a curse, entertaining the thought that we might be wrong and underplaying our ego is very important for social cohesion. On the other hand, I find Eddy's mentality of winning no matter what and cheating at times very annoying and immature. I can tolerate it for the sake of the group if one of my teammates was like that on one condition: if he can rise up to challenge and carry when needed, but I find this conditional arrangement hypocritical at best thus people like that should be socialized further when they're teens before reaching the age of no return.

One would say a $100 bow is good or great and a $2000 bow is fantastic. "Good" doesn't mean a masterpiece or the best of the best. Would you say Bob Ross never made a "good" painting because Rembrandt's painting were more detailed or accurate? The existence of a better work doesn't make something not good.....

[@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia]

@Kevin A. Are you implying that they became KZbinrs because they were not good enough musicians ? 😅 I agree with @Łukasz Grzybowski, they're not world-class soloists, but they're still very good musicians (I encourage you to check their bio, they both won an insane amount of prizes). But the reason why they're making KZbin videos is not because they didn't manage to have a carrier as "regular" classical musicians. Reason No 1 : Brett and Eddy hate auditions and competitions, and they've always thought that the classical music industry is way too serious. As they like to say: "We are serious musicians, but we are not serious people." They were always goofing around and were low-key bored by their life in orchestra. So they decided to find a way to have fun while still being musicians. That's how they created TwoSet, that's why they quit their job in orchestra, and that's how they came up with the idea of a classical comedy show. Reason No 2 : Their purpose has always been to reach out to as many people as possible, especially the young generation, to show that classical music is still relevant and that everybody can have fun while enjoying fine music. They understood that social media was the best way to reach that goal, hence why they've always been very active not only on KZbin, but also on Facebook, Instagram, etc... And it's obvious that their strategy has paid off, since many people as yourself got interested in classical music, or saw their interest for it "reignited" (to quote your words) thanks to their videos. 😊

@@jacobprisament4364 I think Eddy had been practising the Tchaikovsky in weeks leading up to that. I think great violinists will practise excerpts from all staple concertos almost every day along with scales/exercises plus their next-to-be-performed pieces. Czardas is a great piece to initially test a bow or violin because it "wakes up" the instrument. Also something with sustained chords like Bach's Chaconne. Then legato passages that cross strings which can basically be found in any concerto. I digress: so mainly Czardas and Massenet's "Meditation" are all there in muscle memory for any violinist who played standard repertoire as a youngster, and it's easy to play when put on the spot.

At least bringing the ivory into Australia and then travelling later would've been an issue! So I'm glad that things panned out that way. Anyway so that is why the price tag fell from around $610k to $530k. The collector/seller said: "I would definitely NEVER put an extra $100k on top of my $610k price tag because the bow is honestly not worth that high a value, it really would just scare away any clients. Generally when looking for a great Tourte (not mint, mind you) most people have $500k set aside and that's a very acceptable amount. It is wrong to value it so highly especially when trying to sell it. If it went to auction and insanely keen bidders ended up going to $800k or $900k then we can't really argue with that final selling price. It is what it is in that world!" Insurance companies won't insure a bow based on what *could* be fetched at auction potentially. That would just be stupid. You can actually see the hesitation in confirming the (overly) high price on the owner's face at 2:23 and he quickly deflects to an anecdote about where a high price came up in a French auction. That's a bit sneaky in my opinion. A good clever businessman there ;) So I don't know if the above prices in the video are in AUD or USD, but certainly $530k only equates to about $402k USD. I can see the golden period bow in the video selling for $700 easily. Also it's extremely odd to put an exact $700k figure on two very different examples of Tourtes. Consider the price of a golden period Strad to one of his earliest works or his last handful of violins made... the prices are all over the place, definitely not the same by quite a lot. I hope to post a video of my bow soon to my channel :) I just want to get great cameras and microphones in first! The video here sounds a bit like it was recorded on an iPhone almost... but at least in essence the beauty of the bows, the violin, and Eddy's technique comes across well anyway! Great video!

[@FishTail33]

For those of you who were asking about the song at 5:05, I did some digging around and found that this song is Csárdás" by Italian composer Vittorio Monti played on violin.

[@willow6311]

thanks a lot i was trying to find it

[@Mr-Cristi]

thanks 🙏

[@somedude3819]

I should of known this but my brain wasn’t working right lol

[@sambenmoser1240]

Do you happen to know 11:03?

[@jade3519]

Sambenmoser it’s from the same piece! If you want to find the specific part, skip to about 1 minute into the piece

[@audreyha8880]

can we just appreciate how much work they put in their videos??? 😂

[@murilloman9130]

Audrey Ha pls see my comment and like it

[@__Zed]

Me: *sells car to buy a violin bow* -ahh finally i got the bow...crap, now i need the violin...

[@heathermcdougall2399]

Don't do it! My cello alone is worth 10 times what my car is. Add the Paul Jombar bow and it's 13 times what my car is worth, and that's my cheap cello. Can you imagine what I drive like when I have my cello in the car? The paranoia about what could happen is overwhelming at times. Not good.

[@thithanhphuongnguyen6539]

Buy a cheap $30 amazon violin lol

[@koy324]

How much is your house?

[@thedragon6480]

That early tourte bow really suits Brett. He sounded amazing with that bow.

[@dubs864]

binge watching you guys now, I'm not musically trained, don't know sh*t about violin or any instruments but I could tell the difference, Great job guys!

[@amylam7862]

Congratulations to Eddy for being able to play a strad this time!!!🎉🎉🎉

[@thescorbunny9511]

Now Eddy can tell his grandchildren that at one point in his life, he held 17 million dollars in his hands.

[@chuliard1967]

$10.7 million

[@amyx231]

KZbinr. The channel probably makes half a mil a year. He can hold that much if he wanted to, the brand is worth quite a bit. Just, expenses.

[@AnnaandStanleyFNF]

4:33 I love that the lute is just talking here

[@binary964]

the peccatte sounds so thiccccccccccc and i like the golden tourte the most, so cleaaar

[@mehmetilhangazioglu5191]

Normal people:With 700,000 $ I want to buy a house, car and boat what about you? Me:Just violin bow.

[@satyasyasatyasya5746]

If you can cry because you're poor slowly, you can cry because you're poor quickly... and then GO PRACTICE!!!

[@tessLizCroft]

You called me? We should be... PRACTICING! Ling Ling does 40 hours a day. What are you doing? *HUH?* 😂

[@colkent2193]

Can't practice... too busy crying that I can't afford the 2k bow (even if it came with a violin)

[@tessLizCroft]

@@colkent2193, if you have a violin and a bow... Use them and GO PRACTICE!😂👍

[@a.a.2573]

"y does nobody make videos about me? I'm also expensive" 😂

[@Chameshi]

Cool! Hadn't thought about the feel, balance, or flex in a bow before. But can totally relate about personal style, cause it's kind of the same when choosing a racquet (or bat, or stick, etc) in a sport.

[@sarahkraus8247]

Them: It makes the sound completely different Beginners and nonmusicians: What's the difference

[@sarahkraus8247]

@Yu Jin Are you a beginner?

[@useruser-xg3no]

I hear the huge difference. It’s crazy wtfff (beginner violinist)

[@evyevyeva2552]

I've played violin for 8 years and I'm at grade 3 :/

[@yamukinochi]

im nonmusician but i can hear the difference, ig i just listen to music a lot

[@ayrylletindungan4217]

Brett: Someone hasn't practiced. No one: SacRelLigouS bOii...

[@ishitamathur1614]

The Peccatte is genuinely my favourite bow, my goodness it sounds fantastic. The sound is so deep and warm.

[@shailabringhurst2843]

I just noticed the fine-print commentary from the lute (?) in the back. Bwahahaha. Great editing!

[@maneshwar9377]

Violin Bow seller : so which one you want to buy? Me: I will have a photo of the $700,000 bow. Thanks

[@hamadah4]

This was great. It is very clear that a good bow is equally important as a good violin. Also Benny was right: Brett s playing is extra beautiful on a Strad.

[@crystalaireantiquefans4535]

love the lute with captions

[@myname3960]

So much more robust. This was fascinating, wonderful vid guys!

[@lorinvanbelle2788]

Hy guys. I just want to say that i really enjoy your videos everytime and you are two of the best entertainers that i know. You always make my day when i watch you and i realy appreciate that! Thanks!

[@shamapuri07]

Boo

[@alvinchipmunk3759]

nice

[@EwingTaiwan]

Not sure what's the current setup, but I feel like you guys need some good dedicated recording device. Also PLEASE compress the dynamic range (when not playing) so I don't have to turn my volume to maximum then they're talking.

[@Sorestlor]

there is a setting in windows to compress the dynamic range. classical music is about dynamic range. you go to a concert. 1 second its quiet. next second a canon goes off.

[@neolynx_]

Yeah I couldn't hear them that well

[@kingbar0502]

Agree! The sound of playing is always clear, but the sound of talking is sometimes too small without adjusting the volume. The video with Benny had the same problem.

[@HUNrobar]

Yeah agreed, please normalize the volume and then put on a compressor at least, easy and quick. :) The sudden peaks hurt my ears then in the next second the talking is so quiet I can't understand.

[@froztii9087]

2:00 If anyone of you guys don't know what and where is Ivory from. Ivory mostly came from elephant's tooth or tusk, that's also why it's expensive and it's illegal to get or trade because people kill the elephants to get their tusk.

[@ranonampangom2185]

THANK YOU. I commented about this fact 3 years ago when I noticed that nobody else mentioned it. It's disgusting.

[@faithite]

I agree! It's like walking into the wand shop, choosing the wand of your life. "Ivory handle, horse hair... Early Tourte Bow. Your'e a Violinist, Harry." The bow chose you.

[@KyuuKirigaya]

Eddy and Straddy are such a perfect combination. Somebody please buy him one. Me after watching 9:30 EH I'M SORRY I MEAN, Brett and Stradd are such a perfect combination-- Jkjk love you both.

[@florenciamartina9819]

Yeah, in an older video, Benny said that Brett is very suitable for a Strad and Eddy for a Guarneri😂

[@jl5262]

Them: Whats that? Violinist: A bow... Them: *aRE yOu gOiNg tO pUT AN ArroW To IT?*

[@Pyrofiliaclover72]

How long have you guys been playing violin? It is ridiculous how often you guys make me tear up with your playing. I hope to get to your level someday. I play flute so; it is comparably less than even a beginner violin xD. Gotta love the woodwinds.

[@Ethan_Frost]

I keep eyeing the lute in the corner, as well as the similar instruments all over the tablecloth

[@SinginShooter]

"When your daily is a Toyota, you don't know how to drive a Ferrari." Regular Violin Review when?

[@CameronAbbey]

This is the weirdest KZbin channel crossover comment I've ever seen.

[@borgoat1220]

Probably after achieving 40 hours per day of practicing, reaching Ling Ling's level, getting rich, and getting used to playing on a golden age Stradivarius/Guarneri with the golden age Tourte bow

[@daniellacastro913]

Eddy being pleased with brett playing for serious is such a mood

[@Fenyxfire]

theres a lute in that room

[@Fenyxfire]

ps. do a guitar video. with Brandon Acker. look him up on youtube. pweeeese. pweeetty pwweeeese

[@Love-Is-Kind]

My favorite is the Early Tourte. Great job guys! You're amazing! Thanks for sharing. Please stay safe and healthy. (Smile)
