Instruments: Tom Woods Cellos

The transition to Bernadel was so noticeable it id very rich
It sounded very "muddy" to me. The one after it sounded very open and clear to me.
Brent Breault if you play the cello in concerts it is better to play something like Bernadel because of the character it adds to the piece. If you’re at a beer hall and just want people to hear you, you’d play hat other cello :)

That's your opinion. You don't get to tell me what type of cello I would and wouldn't play and where I should and shouldn't play it.
Brent Breault ok lol? I was just saying what their purpose is but you can do whatever you like dear :) no need to get pissy because I stated facts
Brent Breault bruh what is your problem?
18th century French was my favorite. Heard that tone and immediately remembered why I love Baroque played on period instruments. It hits so differently.
SAME.
Absolutely stood out, by far as the best.
Me as well!
Nice, I couldn't imagine how complicated this would be to edit and record.
Essentially she did the exact same performance several times with a different cello all with the exact same timings so that they can be stitched together.
It is impossible to do exactly the same thing twice, much less 20 times, on different sized instruments. It might be that some of the transition editing hiccups are a compromise between sound & movement synchrony, without knowing what kind of playback systems will be used to view the video. Still, well done.
I do wish they had printed the cello names (?) in the description, for easier reference.
You play with a metronome and edit it with a daw
@@quinreimer5906 she is more than capable of playing at the same tempo - she is a pro! Also, she has played this piece thousands of times...no problem stitching these together.
Love the soul of the Thomas Kennedy 😍
Right!! It was spot on! but wait, which Thomas kennedy? both of them? my other picks are William Forster and Albert Caressa.

The second one definitely has warmth to it, whereas the first one kinda fell flat.

Aí tirou onda!!!
Kind of you to do this. Thank you!
Have you a favorite?
Lots of French cellos! They sounded lovely.
Hi ... which type had been played in max payne 2
I love the William Forster!
The William Forster was my favourite and the Gagliano my 2nd favourite.
Me too! Great playing on all of them, and I certainly wouldn’t complain to have access to any, though :)
Me too
Forster also my fav
I'm surprised that the 1/2 and 1/8 size sounded quite decent.
Sounded better to me.
If you think about it, the smaller the instrument the more possibility of projection. Not sure why cellists are so traditional about playing full sized cellos
@@s.l5787 That makes no sense.
@@SpaghettiToaster Does a bass project better than the violin or the cello? Think about why it doesn't. It is not just a matter of lower register. The volume of the sound =/= projection.
@@s.l5787 Projection is a function of volume, register and how strongly the sound is focused toward the audience.
A bass is loudest, cellos have the best projection toward the audience and violins have the highest register. Register is probably the most important factor, since violins are most easily heard over a loud orchestra.
Reducing the size of a cello does nothing about its register, reduces volume and makes the sound thinner and changes nothing about the direction of the soundwaves. The only benefit a smaller cello might have is a miniscule increase in focus as soundwaves are projected through smaller holes. But since the soundwaves themselves are (more or less) proportionately smaller in amplitude, this should make almost no difference at all. And it doesn't.
If it did, a viola held upright should project much better than a cello. But it doesn't, because it's too small with respect to its register. The same is true for a 1/8 cello.
00:20 the obvious winner
What’s so special about it? It wasn’t my favorite. Is it popular because someone famous played it?
@@samdajellybeenie14 it was my first time hearing these cellos. Although all of them are amazing in their own way but I really did like Bernardel Pere because it has much fuller richer sound than the rest, I can hear the difference between the others and it would be an amazing cello if you are a soloist
Nah.
18th century french one was bar far the best. Its voicing is so sweet, delicate, and subtle. It's also very organic, and not overly powerful on the fundamental.
It's the kind of instrument you'd sell your soul to play.
BERNADEL PERE 😍😍😍
Bernadel pere has such a deep sound! beauty
WOW !!! The differences between them has truly never been more apparent . Thank You !!!!
Encore! I would love to hear you do 20 cellos on a 5 minute piece at least - so we can listen to each cello’s qualities for more than 5 seconds!
I personally thought the last one and the 18th century French cello sounded fairly even in tone across the strings (also the least amount of wolf tones too) but sadly it is hard to gauge without being there in person.
Geniale! Complimenti alla violoncellista, la quale è riuscita a mantenere un tempo uniforme dall'inizio alle fine. E complimenti al tecnico che ha fatto un montaggio caratterizzato da una continuità impeccabile. Un video istruttivo quanto divertente!
I think this is a superb accomplishment and a rare treat! Both playing and recording/editing technique .. cheers! I think it really shows not how cellos are better or worse, but how each has individual character.
18h Century Cello in my opinion the best Sound, pitch and density.
Fabulous video! I can't make up my mind which one I like best, they all have unique characters all their own. Thanks!
Beautiful performance! Thank you for this wonderful video! ❤️
Genius! I always find comparisons hard because of everything I have to remember, and this totally avoids that.
oh my goodness this is so creative! lovely playing as well
The Bernardel Pere gave me chills
Can you give me the time stamp
@@natashavernon9828 0:20
How freaking amazing each one sounds!
This is genius. The editing: 10/10!
What a great idea - this is amazing.....thank youl
Wow !!! That was cool.. thanks for posting...
Such a treat to the ears, thanks! And the last two are just cute :-)
Very interesting, well done, thanks for the effort!
Look at the answers to this video, everybody has their favourite :) Really great!
I love this video!
I don't know anything about cellos but that William Forster sounds beautiful to me
This helped A LOT!!! Thanks for the video
This is just amazing
I like the first instrument, but the Brugere is great too😍
such great talent thanks for sharing
Thx for this video! It shows the difference between all the instruments very good!
For my ear, the Thomas Kennedy cellos had very balanced sound, especially the second one at 00:35. They were my favorites.
My favourite too. Also in this comparison: th-cam.com/video/6TXdkcE09lk/w-d-xo.html
My favorites, ordered by timestamp b/c they're all great:
0:05 - J.B. Vuillaume
0:28 - Charles Boullangier
0:35 - Thomas Kennedy #2
1:01 - Claude Miremont (not as "loud" as the others but sounds like one of Yo Yo's cellos)
Nice cellection
Some transitions were so smooth I can’t even.
Gracias Margarita .
I totally love the sound of the J.B Vuillaume
Amazing!!!
Lockey Hill 0:42 and Thomas Kennedy 0:35 were my favorites :)
Super Beauty!!!! Thank You!!!!
I like Charles Boullangier the best. It sounds elegant and fluent. I want to play it by myself! Hope to see further trial of the comparison.
I like the William Forster! Honorary mention for the XVIII century French cello.
Wonderful!!
The Charles Claudot spoke to me. Very emjoyable comparison. I'd have taken any of them, but there were 3 or 4 I did not enjoy quite so much...
I agree with you on the Claudot. Unfortunately, it had the shortest playtime out of the bunch, but left an impression with its "big-boy" voice.
Very informative, thank you
incredible!
I love listening to this instrument. The bass and the highs are so pronounced.
love it
Wow that was really cool.
The french ones were my favorite, particularly the 18th century one. Very rich and deep sound.
Thank you! Villaume, Chanot and Forster are great.
Amazing video, even esspecially for music enthusiasts!
If you don't feel like learning the cello after watching this video are you even human ? 😫❤
Beautiful
Thank you
This is a very interesting video!
Thomas Kennedy and Albert Caressa were probably my two favorites
I really love the sound of the Thomas Kennedy. I'm currently debating on whether or not I want to get a violin, or Cello so I've been trying to decide which sound I like more. I would love to learn both but I'm going to college and my uni requires freshman to stay on campus in dorms, which would make storing a cello difficult. Both are lovely instruments, and if I end up getting a cello I'd choose the Kennedy in a heart beat.
I really like the Albert Caressa 0:26
I really does have its own character which I LOVE
and the père on a second listen
That was fun!
Do it with modern "cheap", "student", "studio", "professional cellos so we can really hear the differences!
Great sound, so many cello test channels are muffly, but this is so naked and clear.
I guess I've liked the first Vuillaume and the Genaro Gagliano best.
Quando se toca bem , qualquer Cello é lindo
My favorite was the Charles Boullangier cello.
That baby little French cello at the end!!
I couldn't believe how decent the fractional sizes sounded.
bernalder pere, claude miremont, francois brugere
I liked the same one!!
Claude miremont sounds covered and francois brugere has a metallic edge. William Forster and both Thomas Kennedy sounds overall better and richier IMHO
Lockey Hill and Thomas Kennedy ❣️
The Albert caressa was my favorite
Wow! good work! I like John Lot and Simon Fendt celli
Bravo!
Amazing how similar so many of them are. As always the player is the biggest factor.
This is amazing I've been experimenting with tone lately so this is great to see the differences. Do you know what kind of strings were on them?
0:20 Bernadel Père, oh I love rich sound of that one.
Nice editing by the way.
I'm pretty much certain that one can not possibly form an opinion on an instrument's qualities based on youtube videos, played through who knows what kind of cheap laptop speakers or headphones.
well said.
It really does make me wonder how nice and different the sound would be irl in comparison to my absolute trash headphones though.
Took the word right out of my mouth
And recorded with god knows what cheap microphone and in a less than ideal room.
Get a pair of good headphones and come back to hear the difference. I did. The only problem for determining the opinion about the cellos is that she plays each one for 5 seconds.
The William Forster and Charles Boullangier have such open sounds
I like the William Forster best, but then I have one so maybe it was just the familiarity with the general Forster sound". Loved the Gagliano too.
so cool do it again
Wow, all was very pleasant to hear. But I could hear the difference between all of them. Very subtle. I liked them all...
I like all of them.
Idée géniale.
wow!
The Lockey Hill, I'm in love! So barroque! Thomas Kennedy, very good. J&A Gagliano for timeless beauty!
really liked the Thomas Kennedy, the Forster & the lockey. the lockey has a really special sound but not sure if I'd want it to be my primary cello
Great concept for cello comparisons. Thank you. I prefer the Montagnana, deeper cellos. They are richer in tonality.
Those gaglianos sound amazing. They were the ones I liked the most
Wow playing that way you can definitely hear the difference between the brands.
all we need is a version with modern cello's aimed for advanced students/intermediates in (roughly) 4-10k range, because most of us can only dream about playing, let alone owning any of the 20 cello's in this video :(
Francois brugere the Best of....margarita i love you
exactly, shame it got just one bar
Francisco Pineda j
I know i didn't just watch you nail that note on a 1/8 size. Daaamn. Sounds better than a lot of full size
What a fun idea. Honestly I didn't notice much difference although I liked them all. I'd like to see this with 20 cellos of less quality of these. Great job.
Oh I love the Vuillaume, but some of the others were incredible too 🙈
Loved the Lockey Hill, I have to find more about it... I was quite nasal, different, amazing
Wow you played the 1/8 size. Is that hard to play for you since it's so small? I love the cello holders in the back.
Charles Claudot 0:56
Interesting video. What I would prefer is if you woul've played a bit longer on each one... Or maybe some 20 sec excerpt on every cello that would cover most of dynamic range of the instruments . Cheers
The thumbs down comes from cellists who can't get it together and should give up.
The Vuillaume has the best sound out of all of them
Me too!
