[@LexiLSify]

Mary Kelleher I LOVE his KZbin channel. He doesn’t try to appeal to people he just shows what he does and he seems so nice !

[@SugmaNatsu]

When i saw the thumbnail, i knew immediately it's olaf's

[@Mur4dMusic]

Hhahahahah the best comment i've ever seen lmao

[@nilab499]

olaf! I recognized his place from the layout of violins on the wall in the thumbnail, and clicked so fast. olaf! yeay!

[@veronicaredeemed]

Same!

[@universeborn]

When I saw the thumbnail, I was like "Is that Olaf's place?" Then I heard his laugh and was like "Yeah, that's him."

Guys it's Olaf from Twoset!

[@atriyakoller136]

He has his own channel now, "Ask Olaf the Violinmaker"

[@nickfaiella9164]

from twoset? lol olaf had his channel 12 years ago..haha js

[@MissesWitch]

"It's a Stradivarius" I somehow expected him to look at it and say "No, this isn't a strad, this is a copy" after watching his other videos haha

[@JenjuroX]

Legit got a serious laugh out of me on this one.

[@owdy3973]

I mean, he did say "don't come in, I'm naked!!!! " Just right before his concert

[@chakaling]

Ray: Hey, I wanna check your violins Also Ray: I brought my 1702 Strad.

[@オールマイト-y1f]

Yeah, Olaf missed a sale there.

[@NaruCale]

Is this Olaf (the violin maker not the snowman) when he was younger? Saw him on a twoset video.

[@kotor2ownerofall]

yeah it is

[@pugnaska]

He always looks so happy.

[@在下谢必安]

@@pugnaska olaf the happy snowman XDD

[@LexiLSify]

Yes ! He also has his own KZbin channel. Right now he’s doing a series of videos showing a violin restauration. It’s ask Olaf the violin maker.

[@MM-cp4fu]

yup!

[@astroneural]

Me: What violin studio? Anyways, who cares, Ray Chen is in it. Also me: *Sees luthier (Olaf) from the TwoSet video.* I'm so glad I clicked.

[@foxtrotfelix9086]

U can hear his aussie accent coming back when he's talking with another aussie 😂

[@SmittenandBitten]

YEAAAAA LOL

[@gudrunw7268]

olaf is actually german 😀

[@thomassiegler9898]

@@gudrunw7268 but he adopted a pretty strong accent more than the Aussies themselves 😀

[@Gusielog]

@@thomassiegler9898 not more than other Australians

[@JamesCello]

But still

[@hayleyleiberman8491]

I love how when Olaf is looking at the Strad its like he's in his own little world. Back to Ray, completely focused on getting to look at/hold a Strad.

[@SameerAgrawalViolin]

I love how he tries to play Tchaikovsky on like a 1/8 size violin

[@Adrian_AdamViolonDiGerma-tm3nq]

Its just beautiful, chen just need smaller fingers to play that violin more accurately, and super high chinrest and shoulder rest to hold the violin on his chin

[@sirsteve6718]

"ye, ye,ye,yes, yeah".

[@murilloman9130]

Hey it’s Olaf!

[@xin.violin]

My friends: I love the Olaf from Frozen, it’s so cute! Me: I love Olaf from Twoset violin, he’s so cool!

[@JackLe1127]

and cute too

[@frogzlover]

I've never seen such a tiny violin have such a beautiful sound!

[@OnDasherOnDancer]

Meeting Ray Chen or Olaf are my equivalents of meeting a celebrity.

[@lidalimmer8809]

Ooooh I knew there was Olaf when he first laughed😍😍😍

[@GaryGP40]

Ray is amazing and so is Olaf. I love watching their interaction and the profound respect they have for each instrument they handle. I have an instrument set up by Master Olaf. He and his team are... amazing. So wonderful. If you want a quality instrument set up with care, Master Olaf should be on your list!

[@jimjim506]

I love Olaf, so awkward but friendly. Comes across as such a nice guy.

[@gregorytaylor5712]

Thanks, Ray! Like how you fall in an out of your old accent.

[@alusias3183]

I’ve been watching a lot of olaf’s videos recently and the moment ray stepped into the store I was like HEY THAT PLACE LOOKS FAMILIAR

[@easylisteninglounge1000]

Ray is adorable.

[@jatzuyu3508]

Isent that the guy in twoset violin that opened the violin up

[@exotichxnna5193]

Ye it is

[@maestrotheoretically519]

Ray is a ridiculously nice person!

[@cianleonizoabad]

1:58 poor Ray looks disappointed 😅

[@wayneious]

I would have liked to see him on an Olaf instrument too.

[@girbij6743]

The greatest crossover ever

Take a shoot every time the old man says "yea"

[@foxtrotfelix9086]

Yeh

[@Flower_Sun13]

valen :3 what? You trying to kill us or something 😂😂😂

[@allyw7405]

Sorry but I’m fan boying over Olaf as well spoken as Chen is. Should title “Violinist visits Olaf.”

[@Vortechtral]

man, both look so VERY young 5 years ago!

[@benjamins9794]

I was hoping Olaf would have him play a VSO

[@kawaiigoomy3487]

Strad violins are like museum pieces, Olaf (the violin maker) has said they aren’t necessarily better than well made modern violin, it’s just they have great historical value and limited supply. Truly it’s the musician, like Ray, that makes the music special. ❤️🎻 Olaf is a master violin maker, I would love to buy one of his violins once I’m ready. ☺️

[@jacksoncalvo2084]

RAY CHEN!!!🎻

[@franzdevedeux5411]

the musical world is so big and yet so small

[@cryptid1925]

Olaf looks so young :D)

[@ineedtopractice7156]

alternative title: ray flexing with his strad 4 minutes straight

[@kurikokaleidoscope]

Very brilliant and interesting.

[@dehansfromoz4979]

I found it again, a workshop in Brisbane for repairs and re-hair of Violin Bows.

[@sittynj]

is this the one twoset had visit a few videos back?

[@evank05]

Can you guess what word is ingrained into my head? *yeah*

[@bluie2889]

sweet olaf, i recognized your studio from the thumbnail!

[@captainkirrahe]

Both of them look so much younger holy moly

Yay! I was hoping it was Olaf.

[@fivezeroniner]

visits violin studio while holding a violin that could buy the whole studio.. xD

[@ismailfardane3207]

More than the neighbourhood

[@Bloempottest]

It's the first time I see Olaf starstruck :-).

[@davidtolley5435]

WOW

[@mangowater9143]

Yes ya yes

[@TooLittleInfo]

Me meeting Ray Chen IRL: "I'd like inspect your body" 😏😏😏😏😏

[@ericrickert3045]

yay Olaf!

[@mudpuddle5000]

Oh ... I was so disappointed when I clicked on the channel and there was no more violin workshop. If only there was a channel that was a nice little violin workshop like this. Sometimes with people comong in for repairs; sometimes buying or looking around.. And some days just quietly repair (with a cat), or .... violin making.

[@alexanderpa2868]

olaf has been active on his channel for a year now 🙂 kzbin.infovideos

[@emilithium1]

There is also this luthier in Spain with a channel and he shows his cats from home sometimes! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJ_GiaKXq7F0qZY

[@chocolatesarebetter]

It's Olaf!!!!

[@joshsmusic1]

[@indahazizah8585]

Olaaafff....

[@just_anne8756]

Oh!! Olaf 😃

[@racheln1675]

LOL he has a 1/2 US 1/2 aussie accent

[@vincentyi8047]

Does Ray have 2 strads? (in the Wieniawski duo vid he says he has a 1715 strad)

[@AskOlaftheViolinmaker]

That was a while ago... He is now playing on the 1715 “Joachim” Strad formerly owned by the great violinist Joseph Joachim

[@vincentyi8047]

Thanks!

[@jewelt5975]

Watch this in 2020, olaf looks younger there

[@BhavnaM]

ray when he’s near olaf: *aussie accent intensifies*

[@RuthMcGough]

I didn't check the date on the video. I thought it was his son not him, then I checked the date and realized it was seven years old.

[@Adrian_AdamViolonDiGerma-tm3nq]

Are there any other earlier footages at olaf grawert violin studio?

[@chrisk8187]

Love the "tech" stuff! I teach clarinet and it has some tech stuff potential to exploit.

[@phoenixxena8194]

Wait....Olaf is gushing... 'fanboying'. Oh yeah..meeting the celeb Strad... impossible not to gush.

[@loongsout]

Wow Olaf looks so young here

[@Helz777]

Highly recommend! Adult beginners get your Pierre Lombardi violin from Olaf, you won't regret it.

[@asian2700]

Yes finally a 850i drag

[@distressedghost]

OLAF!!!!

[@ajumaharjan5601]

how many times did he say yes yes.

[@irahcabangon5079]

You can't be walking around hand carrying a Strad!!! 🤪 😱 😂

[@azzabmagic2675]

Find someone that looks at you the way Olaf looks at ray playing

[@jervilopez1844]

Olaf 😍😍😍

[@furiozcruzado6751]

It's olaff

[@galihunggul5338]

Change the title.. Olaf the violin maker visited by solo violist.

[@reeeeeeee-e2g]

This guy was carrying a historic piece of art that costs millions. Did he have guards travelling with him or something?

[@mariusdufour9186]

It's possible, but not particularly likely. Most people can't tell the worth of a violin, and even if they can, when you steal such a valuable violin, it becomes very hard to sell, unless you have a buyer lined up beforehand. In my city, a professional forgot their 100k violin on a park bench, and when they went back for it, it was gone. However, the people who stole it tried to sell it to a local Luthier for a couple thousand euros. That got him suspicious, so he checked if there hadn't been a report of a stolen violin of the make in question and bingo, violin returned to owner, thieves in custody. If you play with other musicians on such a valuable instrument (and you presumably don't have the budget for it), people are also going to notice, and all that needs to happen is for the wrong person to recognise the instrument and know it has been stolen, as they are all unique at that level, and a theft would be highly publicised within the community, especially the Luthiers. So, you'd also need a luthier who's not going to rat you out to get work done on it.

[@BhavnaM]

YOUNG OLAFFF

[@huff8731]

These two intersected before twoset made friends with the both of them. And they’re both twoset celebrities

[@firefly2x913]

Ray can play Tchaikovsky on a tiny violin better than I ever could on any instrument

"Take a shot everytime olaf says yea"

[@feb5th]

Its Olaf!!

[@ViolinLover365]

Is this how Ray and TwoSet know each other? They're both Olaf's clients?

[@Idiomatick]

The Australian pro violinist world isn't exactly vast.

[@ViolinLover365]

@Arij I found out later that TwoSet already knew Ray back in school days. Their first official contact was when Brett and Eddy were playing Nintendo Smash online and Ray joined the battle. LMAO They friended each other on Facebook afterwards.

George Clooney would be the one to be honored to meet you. Celebrities are created. True talents are born..., and probably the 10 hours practice from age 3 helps also. I'm a great fan of Ray Chen, and if I had to choose to meet... Ray Chen definitely over any celebrity. OK. Maybe Keanu Reeves.
