It wouldn't be a Twoset video without their faces being out of focus immediately

[@anvisinghrajawat]

Its the classics

Brain: sharp. Picture: blurry. Classic composition literally and figuratively.

[@mrcatfacecat]

brain: sharp picture: flat

[@aarushiroy677]

the camera loves the background more than eddy and brett

[@whocares_bear]

"Do you know how war started? Someone picked up the viola" 😆

[@lingodelfo5415]

I would do anything so the wars would turn into the cringiest violin battles we've ever seen in pop culture

[@iwatchtoomuchtwoset]

8:07 New wallpaper found

[@fatimaestinzo6139]

thanks for the idea. gonna steal that.

[@iwatchtoomuchtwoset]

2:32 when brett said "unleash the f-holes" i just imagined him on stage, preparing to play a big chord, and then little f-holes come scuttling out of every corner of the concert hall, attacking the audience members with their sharp legs and pointy little teeth, and when brett strikes the chord, they all do some kind of acoustic thing and his g major chord booms through the theatre, turning everyone almost deaf.

[@aarushiroy677]

thats....something.

[@yukiefromoz2573]

You have a pure clean mind

[@brandonstinson4988]

[@lingodelfo5415]

​@@brandonstinson4988 More like TwoSet's tour manager xDD

[@riccardofroz]

@@yukiefromoz2573That's what I was looking for!

[@brownsugarlessicebubbletea]

Them: Always choose C! A few minutes later: Eddy doesn’t choose C..and loses…

[@Ind0nesiannationalteamgoated]

Camera: i shall focus on their chairs

[@wakingtheworld]

Suggestion to Editor San to place the options at the top in future, cos when you stop the vid to read them, the wording is then blocked by the symbols at the bottom of a YT screen! We're not all as knowledgeable as Brett & Eddy so need a bit more time. Also these options were not left up for long enough. Otherwise a great vid to see how much I know from my TwoSet & Olaf education!

[@sabrinai]

Love when Brett and Eddy nerd out about stuff, like when Brett talks about the wood used for the bow and he just throws his knowledge around!

[@JosettaWong]

Fun fact: Today is Bach’s birthday,happy birthday Bach

[@2LUV3VIOLin28]

Thank you for reminding me I almost forgot. Happy birthday Bach!

[@chicyclegmail]

It's also Franz Joseph Haydn's birthday. You need 2 (set) cakes

[@simplytwosetter]

Small suggestion, it helps if you guys wear the violin anatomy TSA or hold your violin and point at each part, just to have a clearer picture of what you are talking about~

[@drekfletch]

Brett and Eddy: where and why is X? Us: WHAT is X?

[@wakingtheworld]

Your 'Ask a friend' would have to be Olaf (the violin maker)

[@brownsugarlessicebubbletea]

Twoset’s knowledge is pretty impressive…I learn far more here than my violin lessons…

[@2LUV3VIOLin28]

If that is the case a change of teachers is probaly a very good idea.

[@simplytwosetter]

Prof Chen and Yang from the Twoset Academy are teaching us serious knowledge about violin with two CUTE LITTLE FIGURES on their heads!! Can I join the Twoset Academy since I got the headband too??

[@andrewto2194]

Great, fun, and educational videos as usual. One suggestion, the questions disappeared too fast when the camera changes view, I couldn't finish reading the questions and answers before the answers are revealed.

[@simplytwosetter]

Olaf should be here to test you guys with those questions, he definitely can go on and on about each of those questions😂 Or video chat with Olaf if there is episode two!! I feel like I got most of my violin anatomy knowledge from Olaf's video lol Bet he can teach all of us more details about violin anatomy!

[@wakingtheworld]

Yep, my violin knowledge mostly comes from him. He did a good vid fairly recently specifically on violin parts!

[@TheNeptunianGamer]

They've gotta bring Olaf back

[@ZiaElohka]

I love how you made a whole series of videos in advance, to keep us entertained while you're in Europe. Thanks Eddy and Brett!

[@oongaboongagang]

I'm looking forward to another podcast episode!!! ^^

[@kd3684]

they mentioned on IG, that they are ready fro the next episode:-)

[@sabrinai]

What is the purpose of the f-holes? So you can breathe in "Saranghae!"

[@WdymWork]

LOL

[@wakingtheworld]

Indeed, they forgot to mention this. Maybe their violins are not getting as much love these days 😥

[@2LUV3VIOLin28]

LMAO 😂🤣

[@user-Lauriionss]

I'm really impressed at how far their knowledge goes 😮 I think I've learnt more watching Twoset than I actually have in music lessons 😅 also I've said it before and I'll say it again - those headbands are so adorable 💗

[@foreilise]

I love the goobers on their head

[@rafanifischer3152]

You should have left the options up longer, give us a time to think. (but I got 60% right)

[@schindel6307]

Violins a peace maker because there's no time for war if you're practicing! 😅

[@rebel.taylord]

I don't play the violin, never even seen one irl but learning and trivial is fun, please do more of these! 😁

[@kebaobabione]

The order of the questions from A to D is throwing me off

[@amgineamgine1556]

I read somewhere that the scroll (or lion's head or whatever the end is made to be) is actually extremely important in terms of the accoustics. I read somewhere else that it has an effect on the balance of the weight. Don't remember my sources, though. Perhaps ask Olaf?

[@thornhill67]

Yes, Olaf mentions this in one of his videos. It is something like the spiral shape allows the dissipation of waves of various frequencies to happen harmoniously. And for this reason, violins that have a lion head or something else in the place of the scroll, tend to over-resonate.

[@a.t.1397]

Il Cannone is a Guaneri del Gesù, not a Strad.🎻🎶🎵

[@skoico]

Would be cool if you guys did Ling Ling workouts and violin charades again after the tour!

[@CopShowGuy]

Regarding catgut strings, I heard they were called that because a young sheep is known as a "kid". So the original term was probably more like "kitgut" or "kidgut". Somehow it morphed from "kit" to "cat" over the years.

[@rainbowunicorngirl2187]

They’re always nerding out about violin knowledge, and I’m here for it!

[@t.j.armendariz354]

Brazilwood refers to a range of woods from Brazil, Pernambuco is one specific subtype

[@soul1611]

Not the camera going out of focus at soon as the video started 😭

[@chia_s_ee_d]

Yayyy love the headband!!!

[@annier6]

Leave the choices visible so we can "think" along with them.

[@TheMissKittey]

Seeing them wear their headbands makes me so excited to receive mine! 😻💖 I'm so glad my suspicion from the Christmas video was correct! 🥰✨🍊🐑✨

[@silntlightning]

I'm somewhat just a beginner violinist and this made me realize how little I knew about these things, thank you for this video XD

[@Wandyissocute]

Not me wear Chen & Yang headband right now watching the old vid and this vid pop-up btw the headband was super cute

[@user-hz6sf2if4h]

Happy to say I received my Chen and Yang headband yesterday.

[@judy11085]

Thank you for another educational video. I love how this episode made me learn about parts of the violin which I didn't even know existed before. Wish the questions and answers stay on screen for longer though because not being a violinist, I was completely lost and had to pause and go back multiple times.

[@ZzSee]

Aww they’re matching headbands

[@asiangirl5947]

The handband merch is so cute!!! Would be better if it were cat ear-

[@iwatchtoomuchtwoset]

Nya~~

[@covilliterario]

I'm Brazilian, I'm learning violin and I love watching your videos!

[@aini_]

me agreeing with brett and eddys guesses even though i don’t know anything about violin

[@anoushkapatil139]

Hey twoset!! Please come to India🥺🥺.... lots of indian food you know~~~~ (Saw your stories)😏😏

[@isakkkkkk]

PERNAMBUCO MENTIONED! I'm from São Paulo, but that was unexpected

[@toramenor]

They really know a lot! But I wish they'd have slowed down a bit. I had to pause a few times to read the question and answers

[@chia_s_ee_d]

thx twoset for teaching us so much!! I wouldn’t be here literally and figuratively without them ❤

[@wakingtheworld]

Wow, saving lives as well as creating musicians. Yours seems an understated comment but boy, that's so touching as well as mind blowing.... Glad you're still with us.... D'you play an instrument by any chance?

[@chia_s_ee_d]

@@wakingtheworld yes I play the cello and clarinet, I’m also an ex pianist

[@wakingtheworld]

@@chia_s_ee_d Well music nourishes the soul they say, so keeping that alive on one of your three instruments would be key! I do love the cello!

[@chia_s_ee_d]

@@wakingtheworldeven tho music has healed me in soooo many ways, I haven’t rly had a great relation to it, my mum is a piano teacher so I was forced into doing that at age 4, I was actually quite good at it and regret quitting although it wasn’t my choice and I only quit because of gymnastics which I also hated and did it semi professionally. I started cello at 6 and despised it for the first 5 yrs im slowly learning to regain my love for it and to unlearn the bad habits my old teacher placed in me. Thankfully tho to Brett and Eddy (and Hilary Hahn) I enjoy classical music very much and listen to it all the time!❤

[@wakingtheworld]

@@chia_s_ee_d Kids being forced to do what they don't like, eh. My 1st ex wanted our daughter to learn piano and she did quite well but the passion wasn't there.... and that's key imo: We have to do what gives us a buzz & makes us want to jump out of bed each day. Those who truly love their job don't see it as 'work' cos it lights their eyes, nourishes their being. Sadly many people don't fit in this category!

[@narayans3364]

Learnt Soo much love nerding over violin facts ❤❤❤

Why do I always end up being late to watch a twoset vid?

[@Maria-nb2qt]

Hi twoset ! Love your videos .

[@sord.fightmusic7066]

The violin is the epitome of the design philosophy of style _and_ function. Every single part of the violin has its purpose. It only has to be as complex as it needs to be and no more. No single piece can perform efficiently without the other. And yet it has been expertly and meticulously crafted and combined to create an elegant instrument whose sound has captivated the hearts and imaginations of millions.

[@MichelleStaples]

TWOSET WITH AN UPLOADDDDD

[@ketlinsimoes2644]

Pernambuco??? Mano nem imaginava ahsadhskahdk Parabéns, Brasil!

[@JuanC.Machado]

omg Brett & Eddy culturizing us Pls make Roman Kim do the LingLing Workout

[@neilfromclearwaterfl81]

Perhaps going back to look at the original bowed instruments might be a fun exercise such as those played by the Levite's when in processions. The thought of having enough singers all playing percussion and various stringed instruments to work with 120 trumpeters paints a wood picture of quite a spectacle. Best!

[@Andrusenkoviolins]

Hey Twoset I am a 14 year old boy violinist from Illinois. I love watching your content, I recently switched from viola to violin just 2 years ago, I am now playing the Seitz Violin Concerto, Schindler's List, and Beethoven 5. I have just recently, about 5-6 months ago got a violin teacher to guide me, and you two are motivating me to practice everyday (even if my fingers bleed) and so I can become the best ling ling I could be. to make my favorite KZbinrs proud. If you could someday watch the video that I made about the Bach chaconne, and my Seitz that I am working on, that would make me smile the most. Keep creating content, you truly motivate me through dark practice rooms.

[@kibagami25]

I think this should be two set out of focus mouhahahah. Great video. keep them coming.

[@CeciliaGamingYT]

Ooo is it a good episode coz I just started watching!

[@ly2867]

”羊” 和 ”橙”好可爱😊❤

对啊！好可爱呀！🥰☺

I'm Brazilian and i didn't knew it was made of brazilwood. Very interesting actually

[@betternow6755]

1536 - 1538 means roman empire was looooooong gone eddy lol

[@maurmi]

Yes, noticed that too 😊

[@Aeliaable]

thanks I have learning a lot! I was able to get a lot of the answers right! watched too many tsv video and Olaf's video.

[@trumpet_guy_111]

Beautiful outfits haha

[@user-hz6sf2if4h]

yes, love being educated by Brett and Eddy. want one on the bow

[@aliceshaw2912]

I am so impressed with you guys, not just pretty faces ;)

I’m almost gonna practice and twoset upload a video again

[@Highlander515]

Il Canonne is a Guarneri del Gesu. Hilary Hahn used to play on a copy of it made by Vuillaume.

[@bluelanterns2589]

We love composition...

[@guilherme-augusto]

For us in Brazil, Brazilwood is called Pau Brasil and Pernambuco is another kind of wood, called Pernambuco. They are two different types.

[@aadityalondon]

i wanted to just point out that twoset havent done ling ling 40hrs in a VERY LONG time 😢😮

[@Maybe-Cathy-Kang]

Waking up and this!!!

[@phatxausage]

better to keep the questions and answers displayed during their thoughts until their answers?

[@the_eternal_paradox]

me, a pianist: *nervous laughing whenever they say "it's pretty obvious"*

[@pauljmorton]

Isn't it also a pretty significant purpose for the bridge to arrange the strings into an arch formation so you can bow one string

[@idcfr..]

happy, because brett won🥳

[@shorea27]

I want "Unleash the f-holes" printed on my next t-shirt. 😄

[@datmelonblob]

it shouldve been more like a competition yk like the old days XD like fighting over the button

[@myplecosatemyphone]

I'm trying to learn violin to get into a musical high school, I know piano but they won't accept piano. Anyone got good tips for me? Lessons are starting next week

[@2LUV3VIOLin28]

I recomend that you focus on more lessons a week than practice at first. when you have the basic of playing violin I would still take more than one lesson a week but I would also dedicate more time to practice. I would also not be afriad to change teachers if you feel like your teacher isn't very good. Also it takes time to get used to different teachers so give them time before you judge wether you work well with them or not. Focus a lot on tone production. Your left hand needs atenttion too. But it will be easier to know what, and how fix problems on your left, if you right hand is working well making a good sound. I wish you luck😊 Glad your starting to play this beautiful instrument soon!

[@myplecosatemyphone]

@@2LUV3VIOLin28 thanks for the tips! I'll definitely try to get multiple lessons a week!

[@lastnamefirstname8655]

TIL My country is famous for bow wood. Actually Pernambuco is a Northeast Brazilian State, probably its from where the wood comes from
