They talk sense. Good advice.

I agree absolutely, concerning the appearance of the performer and the performance. At one time, performers would always dress formally, both to look impressive, and as a matter of respect to their audience. Even if you want to be less formal, you should realise that, whilst watching and listening to a musical performance which may go on for an hour or more, the viewer will look at all the details which can be seen, right down to the scratches on the legs of the piano stool, or whether the performer's shoes have been recently polished. In this, as in other ways, the Scott Brothers score full marks. Thanks for these interesting videos which give us a glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes.

Definitely be honest with your videos. No shame on anyone, but there are a couple who always list a Bombarde, Spanish Trumpets, or massive church organ with the Rotterdam Laurenskerk organ as their thumbnail. Occasionally they’re on the real instruments, but most times they’re at home. I think it turned me off a little from their channel, but, if you like all those items- that’s your place to go.😊

I think dressing appropriately is very important. I once saw an organist dressed for a recital wearing a T-shirt. Not really appropriate.
