"Begins at $400 ... that's like just playable."
Me: *Hugging my $400 violin* Don’t listen to them, you are wonderful.
😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Alexander Supertramp It's true that a better violin is better, I mean a Stradivarius is way better than my baby (sorry my precious but you're still the best in my heart). But it's also true that an "average" violin can sound way better depending on who plays it.
@Alexander Supertramp "better" with instruments can be very subjective
*My $200 one has entered the chat*
My violin was only £80
The first violin is so red because of the blood and damned souls trapped within it
its of the factory workers
GrimRper tats dark
Wth
Or maybe it was painted with ketchup.
Mic drop Boom
Lol
for anyone who doesn't understand why they're being so careful with their bows, its because each of their bows probably cost around anywhere from $150 - $1000. Probably more, actually, as $300- $800 would be just a cheap student bow.
That's a bargain haha.
Oh if only it were to be that cheap..
My bow cost 200 freaking dollars so I treat it like a baby
their bows are probably even more expensive than that...
idk if I'm just a "idgaf" guy about the things i bought for myself or something but I bought a cheap e guitar for 150€ (that's the most money I've ever spent on luxury stuff...I don't have a lot of money) and I'm obviously not throwing it around like a weird m o n k e but if i bonk it against my desk or chair and there's a new dent in it I don't really care because...well even tho it's a lot of money for me...this is the lowest end of a playable electric guitar. Now. If this guitar would be 15,000€ (I doubt their bows are THAT much but this is for demonstration as well for a different instrument lol)
I'd honestly stand in the middle of my room, away from any kind of bonk-able surface that could dent my guitar and I'd be scared to even scratch the pickguard by accident, even tho...it's there to catch scratches that would otherwhise scratch the actual finish of the guitar
so some bows be costing more than some violins
For my 10th birthday I got a turquoise violin from my dad. Later I looked on amazon history and discovered it was around 70 dollars, the same violin they got but a different color. I no longer blamed myself for snapping 3 strings and all the pegs coming out and all the hair on my bow unloosening. I learned that it wasn't my beginner's playing when I practiced on my schools violin and to my surprise, nothing broke. Moral of the story: Violins are expensive for a reason.
Buying from a reputable dealer (ie. a real music store or strings shop) is important. When my son started playing, I got him an $80 1/2 size violin (case/bow/rosin included). Granted, this was 12 years ago, but we bought it from the music shop in our small town. They measured my son to order the correct size because the 'orchestra' teacher wanted my son to get a full sized violin so it would be louder. There are many stories about that 'orchestra' and that teacher, but that was an awesome first violin. 12 years later and my son in minoring in music/violin performance, has a composite bow (he picked out) that plays the equivalent to a $1000 wood bow and was gifted a nice violin from a friend who used to be an excellent player through her 20s but sold her $5000 violin because she needed the money. She bought a 'cheap' $400 violin 30 years ago because she felt bad not owning a violin but couldn't play it because the sound quality was so much worse. That 'cheap' violin got him to all-state orchestra in high school and a performing arts scholarship in college.

My Dad bought the same viola on Amazon! One of the strings snapped in my face when I tried to tune it. After we tossed it, I asked him if he read the reviews before purchasing. He turned to me with this befuddled look on his face and asked, "What reviews?"
Isn't there something you could do with it? Like make it electric or something.
i love how eddy's instinct still has him holding the shitty violin like a baby and protecting it to make sure it doesn't fall.
Me: Mom can we get a violin
Mom: No we have a violin at home
Violin at home:

Lydia El. Lmao
Dangit I came down here to make this joke
My violin is legit around 69-75$ (which is around one million in my country, and it does look like the 69$ monstrosity on the video, except my bridge is on. The case is also looking like a viola case.
this joke isnt funny

*inaudible notes starts playing*
U one sacreligious boi
i was like: WOAH its actually playing! then brett just comes into shot like 🎻🎻
Those prices are honestly insane. 500k to 10m for a soloist violin meanwhile an antique 1888 Antonio de Torres( the most famous classical guitar maker) guitar in perfectly restored condition is 275k
Soloists can't even afford the violins. They have to borrow them. Ray Chen's violin is on a loan also. It really is outrageous.
Edit: bloody grammar
The color of the violin is terrifying
@FJMZ Silent Gamer omg I'm stupid as hell thnx mate
"When choosing between color and colour, keep in mind that both spellings are correct.
The shorter one, color, is the preferred spelling in the United States.
The rest of the English-speaking world uses the longer form, colour."

I will forever be grateful that when I wanted to learn and got the tiniest violin to "play", Amazon was not yet invented and my parents rented one from an actual music store. Wow.
They should have called Olaf to guest in this vid. I can imagine his horror
Hahah, good one 😂😂😂😂🎻🤕😁
I was hoping Olaf never sees this, he’ll go nuts
@@miwir1248 but I think Olaf can comment more on these violins. Like the quality and cut of the wood, the bowhair, the pegs, the bow, and how each, and also the sacrilegious accessories will affect the physics of sound production. Idk. Might be interesting and educational as well :) Maybe this vid can have a part 2 with Olaf. Money they spent on these amazon purchases is still money, might as well do another episode 😅
abby vv that is actually a big brain idea. Come on guys make a part 2!
He would have a heart attack looking at these gadgets😂
The people who made these: *Hey, I’ve got a glue gun, and some rope, and an old chunk of plastic takeaway container, I can make a violin!*

These items need to be prohibited
jianping Xing I know right?!
me who just got a $250 violin because it’s the only one I could afford... at least it’s better than the $60 one I got for christmas and I had to learn how to play on it
they also had too many beers beforehand
As a violinist, that first plastic looking violin made me shed a tear
me too! Bringing you back to this video, you commented 2 years ago❗

3:30 The most accurate fake violin acting we have ever seen.
Doctor Gradus am i the only one who thought it was real in the beginning
@@ry5172 same here actually. If that small af violin sounded like that, I'd give my money to that scammer.
they are so good they cant even fake correctly
What's the name of the piece he's playing? Quite new to this channel.
@@ryoreina czardas from Vittorio Monti :D
I actually bought the first one they had as my beginner violin and had to send it back 2 times… I got one from them and finally was able to play it.. I had to buy my own strings (about 60$) and it worked perfectly (the bridge wasn’t flat) .. so if a person can’t afford a expensive violin you can buy the first one and buy a set of good strings and make it work.. as a beginner one of course (buy a more expensive one later on when you know you’ll stick to playing)
I am playing and performing on a sprektrum of instruments and I gotta say something for beginners: If you are unsure about wether or not you stick to the instrument. Go and rent a professionally made instrument! They are usually in amazing shape and fixed up to make your journey most pleasant. I did this with my flute when I was a kid, the piano and now with a Cello (I started learning two weeks ago. (Yes, I play 4 instruments^^) If you love the sound of an instrument don't waste money and nerves on poorly made things and if you end up realizing that the particular instrument isn't for you, you can give it back and someone else is being able to learn on it. ;)
Lol, in my elementary school orchestra, I was concert master. Half the people couldn’t tune their violins, and I had to tune it for them... the violins I have come across... unspeakable...
Dude, i feel you. I had just the same situation, and i'm still in elementary music school, and there we have like a school orchestra and because no one knew how to tune their violin i had to do it and the sounds of that violins was truly horrible...
Lol im in high school and still can’t tune
Good thing I play the piano - I don't need to be able to tune my instrument... xD
Concert master in elementary school? WTF? They have that? Lol
LMAO
i can make a strad sound like a 20$ violin
Please no, no instrument should suffer that much and no human should listen to that and also suffer
you can’t make a strad sound like a $20 violin. because you don’t have a strad.
Me too me too! Hidden talent
@@akselai you missed the joke
@@colsov4822 no he didnt, he was adding to it
i love how gentle they are with the instrument because i thought maybe i was just overreacting when i had to do thing with my viola that i didn’t feel comfortable doing because i thought it would break. just proves how i’m just caring about my instrument not overreacting 😭 love u guys
11:03 Brett: We gotta CO-UMB the hair
This actually makes me feel bad. There are a lot of families out there to whom 60$ is no laughing matter. Imagine you're trying to make your kid happy by buying them a violin just to end up with a boxful of plastic horrors instead.
@Merrielle Mandy i feel so bad for you. hope that scammer got arrested and when he dies has to listen to a never ending viola concert.
@@bezretmet Damn that's harsh ... But fair
@Joelle Chong OOF

Great observation, Marek
That awkward moment when I actually believed Eddy could make a sound on that first violin..... fml
Not alone. I was like, “hey that actually sounds pretty decent- ohh wait...”
Leviathene YOUR NOT ALONE 😂😂😂
Ur dumb dumb
Lol
....oh.
Do the companies that make these crappy instruments ever reach out to you via email or comment section to explain themselves? I wonder if they would claim you just got a lemon and offer to exchange it or if they thank you for the critique and say they're going to fix the products or if they're angry lol
they definitely don't care, they don't put any effort into the products and their whole point is to make nai've (probably old) parents and grandparents think they are useful in some way
I bought my cello off of eBay about 20 years ago for $350, just to putter and teach myself. When I got a proper teacher she couldn’t believe it was that cheap an instrument. It was a student grade to be sure, but totally playable, and has a pretty good tone. Best 350 I ever spent.
I bought a violin for 45$ and it plays pretty well… going to lessons with them and learning vibrato…
*watches every ad on this video so that twoset can get their money back*
tea bean! You are my faith in humanity
are they counting the views for ad or already got paid by allowing ad insertion? anyways thanks for reminding will do the same for next vids xd
@@user-sv2be8qj9p they got paid more if you watch the ads more than 30 seconds or until the end, whichever is shorter! If you don't want to watch for 30 secs you can also click on the links on the ads and they'll get paid. This is why views aren't a good indicator of how much they earn!
Lol
hahaha but sry watching the ads don't give them money
The case comes with a free violin
@Edmark Babor
No, the package comes with a free case and violin.
I literally cracked on this🤣🤣🤣
HAHA YES
I needed someone before me to like this comment so I could have been like number 666.......
I got a used violin for 250 dollars once, and while the bow had to be redone (the horse hair where really messed up), it is a great instrument.
Like the teacher told me that it is an instrument that would go into the thousands new.
You guys are just so great!!
This video should be titled
“Twoset waste money on sacrilegious products”
...so that people, who don't know any better, don't.

I hope they kept the receipt for tax purposes!

i wish i have a boyfriend that cares about me as much as brett and eddy care for their violins.
or not. no boyfriend sounds AWESOME honestly. freedom~ without limits~u dont even have to go through the painful process of finding one~or even having to worry abt a second human being when one just cant worry enough abt themselves.
@@alexarmanto6016 k
you have to be expensive enough
as hell
If you play violin the violin is your bae :)
because we all know we can't get a boyfriend anyway,
so just play violin
My school usually lets you rent them out for orchestra and eventually after playing for awhile you pay it off and it’s yours. They don’t make you restart the rental if you need to upgrade to a larger size though. I mean when I ended up switching to a double bass (which was deftinetly an adjustment) because the school orchestra had barely anybody playing it then we had to redo a rental for that one but that’s also an entirely different instrument
I’m a beginner and I use a $230 violin, and he works just fine, thank you very much 😅
Me who doesn't know anything they're saying:
*Nods angrily along*
SAME! I play the horn and for some reason I'm here and am clueless to everything
Same, and yet I can’t stop watching.
😂😂😂😂 same lmao
I can relate but i mean im learning new things about the violin by watching these guys cuz i didnt even know what a bridge once till they showed it lmao
Oh, your ears sure know
Eddy: I'm scared this will pop. *Points it at Brett*
A true sign of friendship
Eddy did forgot to tell that tone it was ...
Lol!!
I love your show and especially love you guys getting angry at the junk that people get sold who want to try to learn the violin but it isn't even worthwhile stuff. Thank you for making us that much more aware that we should just not Try to buy a used violin rather than these horrible faiith the Violins. You guys are so VERY FUNNY AS YOU NOT ONLY Unwrapping the ACCESSORIES❣️❣️

oh :'(
Ikr
I do own a 70USD violin, other than E string, everything sounds normal (normal for my level), gonna upgrade to 2000USD one soon. 70USD to start a new hobby and examine if you can keep this hobby or not is worthy I think.
Lmao my violin was 150.....
Mine was $350, and I love her so much!
lmao mine is £160 and it's playable for my grade 8 level
I don’t think this was the intended take away from this video, but watching this made me want to practice my violin again for the first time in 5 years
Then do it.
You guys are brilliant and original. Also you have the type of mobile faces that comedians often have.
Imagine wanting a violin for Christmas and your parents put this travesty under the tree
Well, that's exactly what is going to happen to me. I asked for a violin worth 35€. I guess I shouldn't have watched this video in the first place, because my excitement was destroyed from the very beginning.
@@user-mh7ws5zg1j in all honesty man as a complete beginner it will be fine, you can practice technique and get a feel for holding the instrument and bow, and the tone isn’t good but at least you can get sound out of it. Just enjoy it for what it is, if your family can’t afford a good violin then you can take music class through school and play violin, you will get a loan violin that you can keep and play. Point is if you really want to play violin and love the instrument you will make use of this violin.
Sounds like something my family would do.
That's....Exactly what they did T_T

Ohhhhh
I bought a $90.00 violin on Amazon because it was all I could afford and wasn't sure if I'd like violin (I'm 57 and flit from hobby to hobby quite a bit). So far it's a great instrument for me, I learned how to tune it, even changed a string to make sure I knew how to do it just in case. It came with a decent bow and rosin, a neck rest and extra strings. I'm getting some wonderful sounds out of it and think it was a great deal and will last me years. 🎻
I WAS SO SHOOK AT THE SOUND QUALITY OF YHE MINI UNTIL BRETT STEPPED IN IM DYING
yeah, that was not comfortable. i was (man, that is the proof what *skills really matter*)
-ashamed-

Me when Eddy played on the trash violin:
*jaw drops*
*Brett show up seconds later with his violin*

2:54 That was also my seriously old rosin that was in my violin which i rented from the elementary school for free.
That thing was always cracking or fallen apart. I guess it’s the cheapest rosin in the world or something
Twoset: Why is it in the shape of a bridge? That’s so unneccesary!
Also Twoset: Haha, I like how it’s in the shape of quavers!
How you know someone is a musician - “yeah, we aren’t putting some of these on our instruments” and “I don’t want my bow touching that monstrosity”
Well think about how much money they paid for their violins as well, too much to risk
Dude I didn't even want my violin to see that thing xD

*my family* :
“Look we got you a violin cheaper than what the teacher told us!”
Sad story
This is just true for any kind of thing your teacher recommends for buying. For example costumes for stage plays
Parents just think cheap stuff would have the qualitiy as expensive stuff :")
Good for calculators and textbooks, but almost never good for any of the arts unless you know what you're doing.
My parents bought me the first one. And they paid more then what it costed on amazon
I love watching you guys!
Good video clip. I always wondered about the musical instrument crap Amazon sells.
When the price is too good to be true ... you get what you pay for. lol
"Begins at $400, thats just playable."
How dare you insult my $300 bargain masterpiece!
SerjianDragonrain wth mine was $25
Mine was 50 cents and for some reason when I brought it to school my orchestra teacher yelled at me for not playing
Is a 200 dollar violin to cheap? I'm interested in getting one but idk what a good price range is. Anyone out there?
George munson at the least don’t get any that are under 300 if you want a good/ok one
Mine was $113 and is the same quality as my friends that was $1000
Let me tell you my funny story! I never played violin. I play guitar, mandolin and piano. When my granpa passed away, he gave me his violin. I did not play for a year. When i finally decided to play, it was out of tune. I watched a vid on youtube to get the right note and the fricking bridge flew right across the room! I cried 3 night straight! Thinking I had broken a violin who was passed on for 6 generations! Saved over a 1000$ to get it repaired and the artisan(yes he builds violin as a passion & knows everything about wood based instruments) He laughed so hard at me and explained that it was not glued on the violin lolll He fixed it without charging me and showed me how to tune it🤦 I took that money and bought myself a cheap violin to start practicing! Im never touching that violin again until i 100% know how to play😂
bridges are not supposed to be glued down. it relies on the tension of the strings, placement, and angle. dont recommend gluing it down... you should take it to a local luthier.
That is such a good story. I play kalimba as I can't get instruments like guitar now due to my age and studies. Have a good life man🌸
aww so cute! Keep up the good work on practicing the violin! I know you can do it.
Wholesome bro
Oh noooo!
I'm sorry! Btw Jesus loves you he's coming soon!
Jesus the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through him:D

All who turn to him and follow him can be saved:D

Welcome to my job teaching beginning string classes, easily half of my students have these disasters
Is there any way to get sound out of these or will it always be a waste of rosin?
@@LeoWolfish It wouldn't be worth it even if you were able to fix the bridges, bows, pegs, etc. All of that DIY would cost much more than those abominations are worth. Even after the "renovations" the instruments would still stink, look gawdy, and sound quiet or altogether awful.
In the end it's more important that a poor student have a bad instrument than no instrument

Of course, preservations is where it gets expensive. More expensive materials just last longer. Value also rise up with expensive materials.

*sees comments discussing 200-400$ violin*
*gazes at my bow, case, and violin, which came as a set for 100$ on ebay*
oh
Yea I was thinking the same thing. I got mine for about the same price. And am in love with mine. If I payed $400 for a violin the place where I live will kill me.
Well, ya got it on eBay. You probably got a hand-me down.
I really want to learn, but i dont think i could go over $150. Like, could you still learn on a 100-150$ violin from amazon?
Anjali a violin that cheap might have problems that will affect your playing, or anyone’s for that matter simply because they might not be built right. The best thing you can do would be to go to the nearest music store and see the cheapest violins that they have and confirm that they’re not total garbage, but that might not be possible right now for obvious reasons. I don’t mean to discourage you, but it would suck if someone stopped playing because their instrument was crap.
@@hurrikane5562 i understand. I cant even find a place to even rent one, even if i did i dont think it would be very safe. Guess I'll just stick to my guitar for now 😔
Watching this Video again years later... made me giggle because my current Violin is a.. Previous Shar brand model that my college instructor got on sale for 189. Sounds ok, but I've always wondered if I would like a better quality beginner violin more and be more encouraged to play instead of discouraged 🤣🤣
Was there a sound post on the first one? I'm curious if you could make a sound on the second one with a rosined bow.
No one:
TH-cam autogenerated subtitles: *v i o l e n c e*
not autogenerated - they put them in themselves lol
caterpillow it’s auto generated in this case
Yea!
I know 😣 I had to turn the captions off - every time I saw ‘violence’ instead of ‘violins’ my brain got distracted ugh
@@a.k7889 hahaha I always keep them on because I think this kind of things are funny
"soloist 500k to 1 mil"
Laughs in trumpet section where professionals play on 2k to 4k instruments
Wow my student flute was like 2.5k
Cries in the bass section where bottom tier instruments are nearly $3k.
cries on piano
*cries in triple horn*
School orchestra contrabass is over 1mil as I remember
You had me going playing the $30 violin. I thought wow, sounds good for $30. Well played;)
I'm going to take up violin in a couple months and I decided to watch this channel because they play violin and their hilarious. Just a couple minutes in they turn this into an ASMR video with bubble wrap.
That “wrist aid” looks more like an archery arm guard...
Oh my god i think it is
nah, those have leather and is meant to be lower, nearer to the elbow
Omg yes it dose
it's for bows
literally thought the same lol
Brett: I don't know if I want my bow touching that monstrosity
Lol gotta love how protective of their instruments they are!
I lost it when they did the violin flossing with the sacreligious bow hair 😂 I can't believe people are selling this stuff, total scam!
TLE I mean, if they're "professionals", then by their own categorization they're $10,000+ instruments
I wanted to play the violin as a child. Sadly, I was told it was my fault a plastic violin would not play and that I should give up music. Seeing this lets me know I was actually never given a chance.
You guys are a riot. I don't even play violin and I caught almost every one of your jokes. I do play most other stringed instruments (piano, guitar, banjo, dobro, mandolin, dulcimer) so the bit about the bridge, bow angle, where to place the bow, etc. was easy to understand. You never mentioned string quality but that was a given. I love the way you present an honest review with humor and talent in videography. Thanks for an entertaining and informative video.
finally someone else acknowledges the piano as a string instrument
@@Fleshypie You said it, my friend. I hear enough about "keyboards" and that certainly applies. What people often ignore, though, is the fact that acoustic pianos, harps, hammered dulcimers, and a host of other instruments have a lot in common. The most obvious is that they're all string instruments.

TwoSet: soloist violins start at $500,000
pianist: *laughs in $156,000 concert grand*
500,000? Is that an error?
The Divine Comedy not at all they get violins from like the 16th century
@@welken3756 not an error
If a pianist would laugh because he has a more expensive instrument, wouldn't the violin have to be less expensive?
@@welken3756 the pianist was laughing because he saved over $300,000...
As an instrument maker, I've had quite a few violins like this brought into my workshop when the owners discovered they were unplayable. It's hard to tell them that the only cure is to throw it away and get a better instrument.
How are u a maker. This violin works. Dont bereve me? Go watch anyone else review this same violin. I don't trust the things u make btw
@@myes344 I guess it depends on what you consider "playable" to mean. Yes, you can make sounds with a violin like this. But since these instruments are mostly machine made, they are as a rule very badly set up, the strings are so high that they are next to impossible to press down to the fingerboard, and thus especially for beginners and children very frustrating to try to play. Setting them up properly usually costs more than a better violin would have cost.
@@therealzilch Yes, you can actually watch Olaf the Violin maker, he has a youtube channel (in case you don't know). He's a luthier and friend of Twoset. He said exactly the same thing as yours and price the playable violin cost after improving it to the price that Twoset mentioned in this video, which is around $400.
I would tell them to get rid of the violin and instead learn to play guitar
@@cdiking7026 The guitar has an easier learning curve- you can make pleasant sounds sooner than on the violin. But to play at a professional level, it's hard also.
