Its just beautiful, chen just need smaller fingers to play that violin more accurately, and super high chinrest and shoulder rest to hold the violin on his chin
I love how when Olaf is looking at the Strad its like he's in his own little world. Back to Ray, completely focused on getting to look at/hold a Strad.
Ray is amazing and so is Olaf. I love watching their interaction and the profound respect they have for each instrument they handle. I have an instrument set up by Master Olaf. He and his team are... amazing. So wonderful. If you want a quality instrument set up with care, Master Olaf should be on your list!
Strad violins are like museum pieces, Olaf (the violin maker) has said they aren’t necessarily better than well made modern violin, it’s just they have great historical value and limited supply. Truly it’s the musician, like Ray, that makes the music special. ❤️🎻 Olaf is a master violin maker, I would love to buy one of his violins once I’m ready. ☺️
Oh ... I was so disappointed when I clicked on the channel and there was no more violin workshop. If only there was a channel that was a nice little violin workshop like this. Sometimes with people comong in for repairs; sometimes buying or looking around.. And some days just quietly repair (with a cat), or .... violin making.
It's possible, but not particularly likely. Most people can't tell the worth of a violin, and even if they can, when you steal such a valuable violin, it becomes very hard to sell, unless you have a buyer lined up beforehand. In my city, a professional forgot their 100k violin on a park bench, and when they went back for it, it was gone. However, the people who stole it tried to sell it to a local Luthier for a couple thousand euros. That got him suspicious, so he checked if there hadn't been a report of a stolen violin of the make in question and bingo, violin returned to owner, thieves in custody. If you play with other musicians on such a valuable instrument (and you presumably don't have the budget for it), people are also going to notice, and all that needs to happen is for the wrong person to recognise the instrument and know it has been stolen, as they are all unique at that level, and a theft would be highly publicised within the community, especially the Luthiers. So, you'd also need a luthier who's not going to rat you out to get work done on it.
@Arij I found out later that TwoSet already knew Ray back in school days. Their first official contact was when Brett and Eddy were playing Nintendo Smash online and Ray joined the battle. LMAO They friended each other on Facebook afterwards.
George Clooney would be the one to be honored to meet you. Celebrities are created. True talents are born..., and probably the 10 hours practice from age 3 helps also. I'm a great fan of Ray Chen, and if I had to choose to meet... Ray Chen definitely over any celebrity. OK. Maybe Keanu Reeves.
This is the "I recognized Olaf's studio from the thumbnail" squad.
lol howd you kno that? lol
Ikr😂

Yyyuuuuuuuup
TH-cam: Ray Chen Visits The Violin Studio.

Mary Kelleher I LOVE his TH-cam channel. He doesn’t try to appeal to people he just shows what he does and he seems so nice !

Me: What violin studio? Anyways, who cares, Ray Chen is in it.
Also me: *Sees luthier (Olaf) from the TwoSet video.* I'm so glad I clicked.
Guys it's Olaf from Twoset!
He has his own channel now, "Ask Olaf the Violinmaker"
from twoset? lol olaf had his channel 12 years ago..haha js
U can hear his aussie accent coming back when he's talking with another aussie 😂
YEAAAAA LOL
olaf is actually german 😀
@@gudrunw7268
but he adopted a pretty strong accent
more than the Aussies themselves 😀
@@thomassiegler9898 not more than other Australians
But still
When I saw the thumbnail, I was like "Is that Olaf's place?" Then I heard his laugh and was like "Yeah, that's him."
"It's a Stradivarius"
I somehow expected him to look at it and say "No, this isn't a strad, this is a copy" after watching his other videos haha
Legit got a serious laugh out of me on this one.
I mean, he did say "don't come in, I'm naked!!!! " Just right before his concert
Ray: Hey, I wanna check your violins
Also Ray: I brought my 1702 Strad.
Yeah, Olaf missed a sale there.
Is this Olaf (the violin maker not the snowman) when he was younger? Saw him on a twoset video.
yeah it is
He always looks so happy.
@@pugnaska olaf the happy snowman XDD
Yes ! He also has his own TH-cam channel. Right now he’s doing a series of videos showing a violin restauration. It’s ask Olaf the violin maker.
yup!
I love how he tries to play Tchaikovsky on like a 1/8 size violin
Its just beautiful, chen just need smaller fingers to play that violin more accurately, and super high chinrest and shoulder rest to hold the violin on his chin
I love how when Olaf is looking at the Strad its like he's in his own little world. Back to Ray, completely focused on getting to look at/hold a Strad.
My friends: I love the Olaf from Frozen, it’s so cute!
Me: I love Olaf from Twoset violin, he’s so cool!
and cute too
Hey it’s Olaf!
"ye, ye,ye,yes, yeah".
Meeting Ray Chen or Olaf are my equivalents of meeting a celebrity.
I've never seen such a tiny violin have such a beautiful sound!
Ooooh I knew there was Olaf when he first laughed😍😍😍
Ray is amazing and so is Olaf. I love watching their interaction and the profound respect they have for each instrument they handle. I have an instrument set up by Master Olaf. He and his team are... amazing. So wonderful. If you want a quality instrument set up with care, Master Olaf should be on your list!
I love Olaf, so awkward but friendly. Comes across as such a nice guy.
I’ve been watching a lot of olaf’s videos recently and the moment ray stepped into the store I was like HEY THAT PLACE LOOKS FAMILIAR
Thanks, Ray! Like how you fall in an out of your old accent.
Isent that the guy in twoset violin that opened the violin up
Ye it is
1:58 poor Ray looks disappointed 😅
I would have liked to see him on an Olaf instrument too.
Ray is adorable.
Me meeting Ray Chen IRL:
"I'd like inspect your body"
😏😏😏😏😏
Take a shoot every time the old man says "yea"
Yeh
valen :3 what? You trying to kill us or something 😂😂😂
Ray is a ridiculously nice person!
Sorry but I’m fan boying over Olaf as well spoken as Chen is. Should title “Violinist visits Olaf.”
A real Yes Man!!
The greatest crossover ever
the Olaf Studio, very iconic.
the musical world is so big and yet so small
Strad violins are like museum pieces, Olaf (the violin maker) has said they aren’t necessarily better than well made modern violin, it’s just they have great historical value and limited supply. Truly it’s the musician, like Ray, that makes the music special. ❤️🎻 Olaf is a master violin maker, I would love to buy one of his violins once I’m ready. ☺️
man, both look so VERY young 5 years ago!
Is this heaven?!!
sweet olaf, i recognized your studio from the thumbnail!

olaf has been active on his channel for a year now 🙂 th-cam.com/users/theviolinstudiovideos
There is also this luthier in Spain with a channel and he shows his cats from home sometimes! th-cam.com/video/VncXoavLAs4/w-d-xo.html
is this the one twoset had visit a few videos back?
alternative title: ray flexing with his strad 4 minutes straight
Very brilliant and interesting.
I was hoping Olaf would have him play a VSO
Both of them look so much younger holy moly
visits violin studio while holding a violin that could buy the whole studio.. xD
More than the neighbourhood
yea
I just saw this and i was thinking the sameee hahahahahaha YEA yea YEA YEAA hahahah
Can you guess what word is ingrained into my head?
*yeah*
Olaf looks so young :D)
I found it again, a workshop in Brisbane for repairs and re-hair of Violin Bows.
LOL he has a 1/2 US 1/2 aussie accent
Does Ray have 2 strads? (in the Wieniawski duo vid he says he has a 1715 strad)
That was a while ago... He is now playing on the 1715 “Joachim” Strad formerly owned by the great violinist Joseph Joachim
Thanks!
Love the "tech" stuff!
I teach clarinet and it has some tech stuff potential to exploit.
It's the first time I see Olaf starstruck :-).
RAY CHEN!!!🎻
Yay! I was hoping it was Olaf.
yo！it is olaf！！
You can't be walking around hand carrying a Strad!!! 🤪 😱 😂
wow 6 years ago
Yes ya yes
Watch this in 2020, olaf looks younger there
Wait....Olaf is gushing... 'fanboying'.
Oh yeah..meeting the celeb Strad... impossible not to gush.
It's Olaf!!!!
I didn't check the date on the video. I thought it was his son not him, then I checked the date and realized it was seven years old.
WOW
Oh!! Olaf 😃
ray when he’s near olaf: *aussie accent intensifies*
yay Olaf!
It's olaff
Highly recommend! Adult beginners get your Pierre Lombardi violin from Olaf, you won't regret it.
Olaaafff....
Wow Olaf looks so young here
Yes finally a 850i drag
This guy was carrying a historic piece of art that costs millions. Did he have guards travelling with him or something?

Olaf!
I clicked for Olaf.
Ray can play Tchaikovsky on a tiny violin better than I ever could on any instrument
how many times did he say yes yes.
OLAF!!!!
These two intersected before twoset made friends with the both of them. And they’re both twoset celebrities
Aussieland is another England.
Are there any other earlier footages at olaf grawert violin studio?
Olaf 😍😍😍
Find someone that looks at you the way Olaf looks at ray playing
Change the title.. Olaf the violin maker visited by solo violist.
Is this Olaf ????
Is this how Ray and TwoSet know each other? They're both Olaf's clients?
The Australian pro violinist world isn't exactly vast.
@Arij I found out later that TwoSet already knew Ray back in school days. Their first official contact was when Brett and Eddy were playing Nintendo Smash online and Ray joined the battle. LMAO
They friended each other on Facebook afterwards.
Ray wore a traditional pair of pants with a traditional belt! 😂
I guess Australia is actually small.
"Take a shot everytime olaf says yea"
Young Olaf??????
Hahaha it's Olaf indeed.
Olaffff
YOUNG OLAFFF
*Y E A*
Its Olaf!!
Olaf is a very good friend of mine, the trouble is He doesn’t know it, or me 👍😄

olaf 2014
Ray is so handsome. Senpai
2:47 Anyone else getting "Whisper of the Heart" vibes?
Sounds like Olaf
