In her defense, in German, the recorder is also called 'flute'. However, the sound that came out was clearly from a legit flute and not a recorder. In addition, if you want to catch the sound of the recorder with a mic, you'd have to point it at the top of the flute, where the sound is created, and not at the bottom hole. So the girl wasn't the only one on stage not having a clue what is happening here.

I have to tell this story here. Once on my school they invited a super good director, he had this amazing idea of playing a video live made by the students of the school. He had wrote the score.

I don't now why he did that, but it was really disrespectful for everyone, the musicians and the public. It happened a couple years ago but I'm sure I'm never going to forget it. We really doubt he was a real director, he didn't even knew how to count or mark entrances.

Thanks for exposing this scam. I noticed them popping up at every shopping center parking lot over the last 4 months (since March 2023 in my area Southern CA). I didn't know about this scam until now (June 18th), so I believed the first fake violinist I saw and gave the young teenagers (sister holding beggar sign and brother fakes playing violin) a $5 tip. I wasn't sure for the second time I saw a different fake violinist, I thought he might be family with the first beggars (different ages; looked related). I started getting a bit suspicious after about the 5th (+/-) one I saw just last week (June 12th). I said, this can't be possible to have this many high-level violinists that are destitute and begging for money. So, giving them a benefit of a doubt, I wondered if perhaps they might be the migrants from Venezuela, I learned about from a PBS documentary, regarding Venezuelan orchestral string players leaving their country to find work. I don't know, does anyone know where theses fake musicians are from originally? But then I started getting really suspicious as I noticed the lack of vibrato and inconsistent bowing with the backing track playing the SAME set of contemporary tunes: Aladdin's "A Whole New World," theme some from Titanic, the Cold Play song, Elton John's "Sacrifice," the "Hallelujah Song." etc. My suspicion prompted me to investigate the internet, and that's how I found your video.

The telenovela was fairly good plot-wise and such, but the actress couldn't fake playing violin for the life of her so they had to hire people who could actually play to accompany her to draw attention somewhat away from her for the most part :/

[@koyuik6685]

@Salty4 Suga fair enough I suppose. Going with one of your points however, that fake violin playing was sacrilegious enough to be on par with Ben Lee’s “performance” of flight of the bumblebee Not Vov Dylan though, Vov Dylan was just a whole other level of sAcriLeGious

A recorder is an internal duct flute. Western concert flutes aren't the only kind of flute. There are whole families of duct flutes, transverse flutes, and plenty more that don't include the western concert flute.

Brett and Eddy are the best teachers in the world. Honestly, I've learned so much in the last two years about classical music and unfortunately it started to get painful watching fake playing on TV because I've never payed attention to it before. Also, I know more about the violin even though I don't play it than I know about the piano which I'm playing since nine years. Just want to say thank you to twosetviolin and Editor-San for entertaining and educating me in a fun way. ly guy's

[@TheReal4th]

9 years? stop lying. I'd believe you if you said you learned 9 years ago, but you're saying you've been playing for that much time. I've been playing for 8 and a half years, and I did not really learn anything from Brett and Eddy in terms of classical theory. All I learned were the simple mechanics of the violin. I watch twoset purely for entertainment because I can relate as I am very fond of music theory in both jazz and classical theory. I do see beginners learning a lot from twoset. But a pianist who's been playing for 9 years? If you're not lying, then chances are is that there is something wrong with either your memory or perception of time.

I've played for 7 years and I just recently about a year ago started taking real lessons in it. I didn't know more about the piano classically in general because I wasn't trained in it. Just because someone isn't familiar with the classical scene of an instrument they play doesn't change the fact they have played for a long time

That fake “violinist” girl it’s actually an actress, her name is Paulina Goto but I don’t know why she would do that. This was 3 years ago I think. Edit: It’s a Telenovela “Un Camino Hacia El Destino”, she’s a violinist in there, you should react to it!!!

Pamela Carta yeah this was just acting I doubt she would fake it like that and it is that telenovela you can see it in the board

[@nLau0509]

But still she’s pretending to play, isn’t she? I mean she has a mic, or are the prologue watching that show fully aware that she’s just acting and not playing? I’m intrigued because the performance looks so bad, sorry

[@PameCarta]

nLau0509 She’s pretending but the audience thinks she is playing. I just watched an interview with her and it was a show where they presented the Telenovela officially with real audience. In the interview she says she has musical knowledge because she plays the piano and also says that hasn’t touched a violin in her life (clearly) but she was taking classes (I don’t believe that because she would know at least how to grab the bow or where are the notes). I don’t know a lot about violin (I play piano and cello) but it was clear that she didn’t have a clue, don’t want to be mean tho. She’s a great actress in other telenovelas :).

TRUE STORY: I was moving across the US and stayed in Tennessee for a night at a motel. I was traveling with a pedal harp and had to bring it into my motel room for the night. Unfortunately, I was on the second story and there were no elevators ☹️ so I had to take it up an outdoor flight of stairs. I started slowly pulling it up with my harp dolly and some friendly dude nearby asked, "Hey, do you need help?" For the safety of the harp, I don't let people touch it unless I've trained them, but I will let people open doors and spot me in case of emergency. So this dude is spotting me and asks, "Is this a cello?" ... It's over 60 lbs and harp shaped, so this implied that he had never seen a harp or a cello before. "Haha, no. It's a harp." I thanked him for his help, had a good laugh and wished him a good night. The next morning, I had to move the harp down the same flight of stairs. A thoughtful woman asked if she could help, so I let her spot me. "You're pretty confident to be moving such a big instrument by yourself." *Pause* "I've never seen a cello before. Pretty cool!" 😂🤦‍♀️ Moral of the story, plenty of people don't even know what these instruments look like, so you can't expect them to know how they're played.
