“Why is violin so popular?”
Because twoset scared away would-be viola players
(Edit)
I’m in middle school and my teacher literally bribed the violins in my orchestra to switch to viola so they could get 30 extra credit points. We went from 2 violas to 8 violas. Lol
Ouch😅, what about the cello players, the cello guy and paino guys make a great team and are awesome on their techniques even adapting for modern music, sorry guys but unless more of the populace gets into it that way, adapation is crucial for survival and the competition of funds with math, science and history departments, though they do overlap in some ways. At least robotics has a ways to go to ever compare with professional players.

Evan Aparri this is so true! I played the viola until I saw these dudes😂❤️

There might be some truth to this. I'm hearing from friends who are school music teachers that the number of kids interested in playing the viola has suddenly gone down a lot in the last three or four years... :/

Fun fact, in French the "frog" is simply called the "heel" of the bow. Somewhere along the history of violin someone messed up the translation. Probably a violist.
Well, the soft part in the middle and back of a horse's hoof, essentially the horse's heel, is called a frog. Early bow makers would have had contact with ferriers in order to aquire the horsehair needed for bows, and it's possible that the two professions could have swapped terminology.
Another popular theory has to do with the small frock vise that bow makers use when they are building the frog. It's possible that people began calling this part of the bow the frock after the vise, and over time, pronouciation changed until it was called a frog.
In Spain it’s also called the “heel” of the bow :)
Ok wow in German its just the frog ("FrOsCh")

I am an advanced piano player and honestly I just want to thank you for giving such a diplomatic answer to whether piano or violin is more difficult. I am tired of inexperienced people to just yell at my face: " violin is just harder!" Both instruments have differences and thank you for maintaining equality!
Well piano is easy to learn hard to master
And violins are hard to learn and hard to master
But they're not even in the same category so it doesn't matter it's like comparing an oboe to a guitar
As a mediocre amateur pianist (and worse guitarist), I find violin INSANELY hard. But yelling something like that to your face is really stupid and rude.
And at really high levels the difficulty may be similar because people are exploring/pushing the human limits.
Oh, and I'm a mediocre cuber too :p
@@kirkt3970 That's a good point. Violin takes a combination of physical intelligence (how to articulate fine motion, posture, stroke technique) and aural intelligence (knowing if your pitch is correct, if you're in tune, if you're scratchy or clean, etc). These apply to the voice, but none of these things are particularly of concern to a pianist.
So along with violin and piano in being difficult to master, there's also the voice, somewhat easy and somewhat hard to learn, and hard to master.
The voice is in the top with violin and piano for most difficult to master. Considering things like, you're tuning blindly, each register has different articulation techniques to get different notes with different tonal qualities, and you're also working with airflow, mouth shape, throat position, lyrics and diction (pronunciation and enunciation, which instrumentalists don't worry about).
@JoeysRattata It takes practice to be able to read two lines simultaneously, which is easy for some people. The reason why violin is harder to start especially is because of how much technique and posture is involved to even make a sound, and a good sound at that. Proper bow technique, pressure, angling, and finger position are all required, and in this sense, you're doing two completely different things with both hands, whereas the piano it's a matter of positioning and pressing the right keys. So this may be easy for some people to coordinate, and based on your post it would seem so, but for most people this is actually very difficult, lol.
With piano, you can get away with bad posture and not understanding dynamics and still sound okay on piano. The piano has other challenges, such as the one you mentioned, but piano has that major advantage that only percussion instruments share, in that you don't worry about the tonality. String and many wind instruments require a great deal of muscle coordination and articulation to even produce a good sound.
Personally I find piano wayyy easier than violin, or even guitar, because I'm not used to coordinating my hands that way. I also had a keyboard at home to play with when I was a kid, whereas I didn't touch a violin till many years later when I was in 8th grade.
The skill set for playing violin ( or any string instrument, in my case it’s the cello) vs playing the piano is so wildly different that I don’t t believe it’s possible to accurately compare them in terms of difficulty.
I searched “why is viola”

“Rosin’s good. Don’t use oil.”
-A friendly reminder from Brett, 2019
Bees wax is better for the horsehair bows, oil just is too messy.
They're referencing a video they did where Henry Lau uses oil on the bow to be able to fake live performances without making any sound
The more you know.

Instructions unclear. Put rosin in engine instead of oil and now engine seized up.

If you really want to play and are ready to PRACTISE every day, do go ahead and learn! Don't be disheartened!
Indeed! It doesn't take a lot. You can start with just 15 min a day, until you get accustomed.
It is true it is difficult, because of how unnatural playing the violin is, but you will evetually fix all the things they pointed out without even noticing.
@@8LyJu8 As long as those 15 minutes are 40 hours you'll be Ling Ling in no time!
“is violin harder than piano?”
as someone who plays both, not exactly. both are very difficult just in different ways. like as they said, pianist have more notes to play and more repertoire to learn. (both violinist and pianist have both hands doing completely different things at the same time which gets difficult)
but violinist, as they also said, have to create intonation. to me the intonation is a bit more challenging because you have to be extremely precise and shit.
but hey, i love both.
(i admit violin is waay harder for me)
I have played the violin for twelve years and the piano for.. two? The piano is, in my opinion, much easier to learn. It is hard to play well, as with anything, but starting is quite simple. With the violin, you have to know a thousand things before you can even make a proper sound.
You forgot the foots, in piano you also have 2/3 pedals, that are not easy to manage and use properly
Maria PP so true bruh
Gabriele Di Monte you press one wrong during a show and you’re done
@@ruthb7934 yep, but the real problem isn't that, is to really use them in the right moment, and in the right way
Fun fact: we learn driving car faster, because we already know how to use pedals and we have the independence between foots and hands

Yea it’s such a clever way to lure an unsuspecting student into playing the piano lol. “Oh, this is pretty easy! Read notes, hit key, keep going.” It’s a goddamn cliff dive from there. I love piano though. I’m learning violin now and I’ll take any ridiculous piano difficulties over tuning this dang instrument!
@@gp1925 Right? I'm also a pianist who started violin a year ago, and violin is just so complicated! I still sound like a noobie and can barely manage in my school orchestra
Piano is harder to sight read, violin is easier to sight read, unless you know a lot of music theory and can just straight up play chords
@@stellanocturne Yea, I don't have perfect pitch and up until recently everyone thought I was tone deaf because I can't carry a tune singing either. I've been playing with a tuner since I haven't really mastered the ear for the right sound and I watch it and find more often than not, "Oh, the instrument's in tune... I'm just awful!" lol, I've only been playing a couple of months so I definitely just need more practice and patience.
So, my carpentry teacher used to call some parts of some tools "sapos" (frogs in Spanish) we asked why they where called that way he responded: A frog is any part on a clamping device that relies on friction to hold something in place. On some tools that part is a wedge that resembles a frogs shape. It's mostly a wedge with particular mechanical needs that countour it's shape.
Interesting! There's a part under a horses hoof called frog, that is softer horn made for traction and feeling. And it's form is between a triangle and a thick V, so yes, it looks a bit like a frog seen from above!
@@hei7586 that's interesting. In German, that part of the hoof is called 'Strahl', which roughly translate to 'ray'. Lol, German being extra again

One of the reasons that stringed instruments in general are so popular is because they have the sound that is the closest to the human voice. The way the violin is played, with the bow making the string vibrate, is very similar to how the air passing over the vocal chords makes sound. It’s easier to evoke strong emotions with stringed instruments, particularly the violin because it is in the range that most of us speak, because it quite literally sounds like someone is singing to us.
Actually, the instruments that are supposed to be closest to the sound of a human voice is the cello and the saxophone

question: I assume you all are also flute players. As a 17-year-old who most likely will never enter the music industry as a professional, would it be worth my money to invest in more than a normal C flute? Im still in high school and dont have much money so i am really unsure if an investment in more 'obscure' flutes would be worth it
I play the flute, but I think percussionists might have it worse.
I was a flute player and I remember I had to sit next to a piccolo player, I'm glad that my left ear is still functioning fine
You may laugh but for non musicians like me it was super informative video :') Congrats for everyone who keeps practicing, you're awesome.
How about you start learning an instrument? The violin is super hard for me (as I am a beginner) but it's a fun challenge. Maybe if you can't afford a violin (even if it's the very cheap kind you can go to somewhere that sells musical instruments and ask about an instrument that is suitable for you (and in your price range) (also I am saying this just in case but if that's not the problem that totally fine maybe you don't have a lot of time just wanted to share the fun of learning a new instrument with you that's all) Have a nice day!
Mlle 73 recorder is a good instrument to try if you don’t have much cash. You can get a good quality Yamaha (any of the 300s: 302, 312, 314) for $20 or less on eBay. And a good method book can be found for $20 or less as well.

As a person with ADHD, I feel that piano is, in general, easier than violin. All of my hand stimming has been super useful in learning technique. I also find that the smooth texture of the keys prevents me from overstimulating myself. A former classmate of mine who played violin tried to teach me the fingering for some notes on her violin, and I was overstimulated after just two. But that’s just my take. Every neurodivergent person has different sensory issues, so my perspective could easily be the exact opposite for another neurodivert.
That's so interesting! I've also been diagnosed with ADHD, grew up playing piano for 3 years then switched to violin for 7 years. I've always felt that it was harder for my brain to keep track of ten individual fingers on the piano than just four on the violin. For me, four fingers with my left hand and bowing with my right grew to be just the right combination of stimulation, whereas on piano I remember feeling overwhelmed by all the potential notes to play simultaneously. I've also picked up electric bass this year and found it to be similar coordination wise to the violin, if not slightly easier and more fun. For music theory/production's sake I've been dabbling on 25 key midi keyboards and I must say it's been stimulating and fun, while challenging, especially when it comes to reading two staffs at the same time. It's interesting how reconnecting with piano as an adult has allowed me to view with a different lens what I considered was insurmountably difficult as a child. I still consider violin easier given my familiarity, but maybe I'll feel differently about piano a few years down the line. I think ultimately our brains will consider whatever instrument we've spent the most time building neural pathways with the most rewarding stimulation wise, and I'm really glad music exists for us neurodivergents to have such a positive outlet :)
@@bushDid911 What you said about familiarity makes a lot of sense. I didn’t start learning piano until my final year of high school. However, I had done 13 continuous years of ballet prior. All of the barre work I’ve ever done was solely to simple piano pieces. Hand control is a major thing all of my teachers were sticklers about. I guess somewhere in my first piano classes, my brain took all of the skills I developed with coordinating the movements of my legs and feet to music and redirected them to boost my skills in my hands. I feel that’s it’s that, dumb luck, or maybe a natural talent that causes me to progress as fast as I did in my lessons. (Practicing also deserves a good chunk of credit for that, too.)
Same. I started with trombone as you don't have to press anything or use your fingers for anything other than holding it. That and it's also really fun using the slide - its kind of like a big fidgetmabob.
I personally find playing piano to be one of my favorite stims. When I'm learning a new song, I often use hyperfocus to learn it. I find piano to be very ADHD friendly. For myself at least.
I have ADHD as well, I play cello and piano, and for me cello was kinda easier. I also just sucked at piano so :/

I think many people don't really realize how difficult guitar could be (I'm talking about classical guitar). The variety of tone colours just blows your mind. There are many people who can play chords on the guitar and sing along with it but very few can do something beyond that because of difficulty of making a beautiful sound. The tone depends on many things such as right hand position, which side of the nail we pluck a string, which part of the string do we pluck, our nail form e.t.c. We also can do many techniques such as pizzicato, glissando, vibrato e.t.c. Just listen to the Prince's toys Suite by Nikita Koshkin. I bet you have never thought that guitar could sound like that.
I play the violin, tried to learn guitar, got scared at the difficulty. Never understood why it is so overstimated as the most easy-playing instrument.

This was enough to make us classical guitarists cry 😭(in a good way)
@@midnightstudio9175 totally agree ;)
Yeah, its hard. But not harder than violin.

10:08 "Is Violin harder than Piano?"
As a pianist who has also dabbled in violin, I can confidently say that objectively speaking the violin is absolutely more difficult at every level of analysis. I love how they're trying so hard to be diplomatic though. :)
To be fair, I think at beginner level it's much more difficult the violin. But the more you play it, the more natural it becomes and that difficulty kind of wears of.
So, unless you are Martha Argerich, at top level both are equally difficult IMO.
@@8LyJu8 agreed
I was pretty good at video games, this is why I chose piano. Hit button play sound, easy.
*quietly dies inside wishing he’d taken up the triangle
@@TribuneAquila it's not that easy xD there is more way to make different sounds on piano and i think when you play more you notice that is hard to play really well on piano. But yes at the beginig violin is much harder

I think one reason violin got so popular is because it is so versatile. It can be played in pretty much any style or genre and still fit in pretty well. It can play folk music and classical music, as well as rock, heavy metal, pop, and is in a lot of electronic music as well. Kind of like the guitar, in that way.
10:50 i'm a guitarist and i have to agree 100% XD. for guitar, you can teach someone who have never touched a guitar to strum along to songs in under 4 hours. For violins.... LOL
Same for piano... You can actually play 4 chords in like 5 mins even, just press the notes 😅
Void teach them chopsticks on piano
Oof as a musician who plays and teaches multiple instruments I can relate lmao
Agreed, I am a guitarist and dont play violin, but i can perfectly understand how violin can be more difficult. No hard feelings at all, it is a fact.
Why do violinist make weird faces?
"When you're unable to actually express it [emotions] through the music." xD
Vengerov be unhappy.
"You have to be diplomatic online these day, woohoooooo"
I have never heard truer words this quarantine
I'm in a place in my playing where I am not a begginer, but I still don't play in a professional level. Watching this reminded me of the amount of work I did just to sound decent on the violin and gave me energy to not give it up. Thanks a lot.

I was just about to fall asleep and I got the notification.
Sleep can wait!
It’s okay guys, as a guitarist of five years who’s trying to learn violin (thank you for inspiring me by the way), i give you permission to claim that violin is much much much harder than guitar. And I love the guitar. There’s just really no comparison lol.
PLEASE put "use rosin not oil" on a shirt
Or "eat candy not rosin"

When asked why violin is so popular, they said ‘it’s stood the tests of time.’
This might be hard for you to hear, but VIOLA IS OLDER THAN VIOLIN
Its because it's *stupidly high* :)
@@hopelesshaddy3332 No, the violin is higher in pitch than the viola.
I’m actually going to start taking violin lessons and I’m 19 years old. It’s never too late 😂 I actually played violin for two year when I was 9, but quit playing. And you guys inspired me to play again ❣️ and IM SO GLAD I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL. I LOVE CLASSICAL MUSIC NOW❤️ THNAK YOUUU ❤️
I think we can all agree that Piano and Violin are the instruments of the elite, and we can look down at all others. Beginner-intermediate violin is substantially harder though, as you mentioned.

@@romainbornes22 Good point, I've only attempted to play an organ once or twice, but yea organists are insanely skilled.

And here I am: a Lingling wannabe!

This video made me actually realize why most violin covers have the violin replace the words for songs.
"do violinists make fun of viola?"
Twoset: 😏
The real question anwering that is: "who doesn't?!??"
@@phyiorme2522 mature musicians.
@@theoverunderthinker yes and that's so sad. Mature ones are most times so... Boring. Actually even violists are joking around.
@@julem.2439 actually making jokes is what it is... all in good fun. As long as people don't believe the hype. Most orchestral instruments take a lot of time and energy to master, so to act like violist are not the equal of violinist is kinda... not funny...what is the word I am looking for... tired.
My viola joke:
Why are violas always said to be out of tune?
When the violists are out of tune they say the violists are out. When the violins are out of tune, they have the melody, so they still say the violas are out. ;)
@@theoverunderthinker that's actually pretty true
“Is violin easier than guitar?”
“No.”
As a guitarist, just because it’s true doesn’t mean you have to point it out 💔
Ikr but guitar is as hard as the violin on a pro level
classical guitatists: 🥺
yeah but guitar is easier to get started on
you can't even make a note sustain on violin when beginning
