I was at Peter Prier and Sons in Salt Lake City, UT, the other day trying out violins, and they let me play this violin labeled "Pietro Guarneri de Mantua". Authentic Pietro Guarneri violins are worth over a million dollars. Tell me what you think...is it worth it?

Born to a large musical family, Rob gave his first solo recital at 10 years old, performed in the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on the Disney Channel with the Disney Young Musicians Symphony Orchestra, and founded a piano trio that performed actively throughout his teenage years. Rob has won first prize at numerous music competitions and has soloed with the Utah Symphony, Utah Valley Symphony, San Diego Chamber Orchestra, BYU Philharmonic, and BYU Chamber Orchestra.

Rob was awarded full scholarships to attend Brigham Young University and Rice University where he earned a Bachelor’s in Music and Master’s in Music, respectively. While studying at Rice, Rob began covering rock and pop music, and upon returning to Salt Lake City after graduation, began playing with a looper pedal which he uses to create intricate and stunning arrangements of today and yesterday’s most popular music Rob recently won the award for "Best Instrumental" at the Utah Music Awards for his rendition of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah".

Wunnerful
Master!
Rob, does the sheet music include all portions of your performance including the loop pedal recording?
BTW: great cover
*Better version than Justin Bieber*
Awesome perf :)
It is lol
anything is better than that version of despacito
they're both good. no need to compare.
Anderson Mayfields I
This makes me want to practice
I know how you feel and it's two in the morning and I'm gonna get smacked if I do but oh well.
Johnathan Shelley same here
Ikr
Nothings stopping me i have mine next to me so that's what ima do :P
Johnathan Shelley kinda sending mix messages for me...
I have listened to MANY versions of the song. But, this is the BEST one. I wish I could play the violin but, I am a Squidward. I play the clarinet
Lori Sepetj The only jokes we can really pull from clarinets are calling them "Squidward"
, I am a Squidward
I am also a type of squiward.
Cause I'm a flute player.
Sucks to be me.
So do I.
Same except I quit violin last year and now I play clarinet
Man you deserve that violin
Maybe
Sergej Topic
He really does lol
No that violin deserves him..😉😉
Sounds like 1.1 million dollar to me... I don't know...
Kirigaya Kazuto C mamut
i love this kind of humor :D
Kirigaya Kazuto LOL
XDDDDDDDD
Eh maybe a solid 1.2387m to me, but maybe I don't know....
Watching that guy pick up the violin and pull magic out of the air almost makes me want to put in the enormous amount of time and dedication necessary to attain that level of skill.
*Almost* :D
Yep, you got the subtext there.....
Never expected to see you here! Niiiiiiice
Oh hey mate:)
haha me too! made me wanna learn or pick up the dusty guitar . motivated
i won't even dare to touch this thing XD
Talle13 im a violist but i still know the notes not violinist but violist so that means i can still play it but not on a 1.2 million dollar violin
Talle13 i’d put a finger on it and it would fall apart
id break it just by being near it
I would love to play, but if I break that thing on accident I would jump off a bridge.
reported
I've listened many versions of this song but this instrumental one, this was the best... I congradulate you of your brilliant skills. I think it's not about how many million dollars that violin is, your skills are impressive...
+İlker YILDIZAK thank you, that means a lot!
damn nice comment
Why dident he pin you that was a very nice thing to say
Me-Oh I don't like Despacito much
Also Me-Plays this video 10 times
+It's Cubing Jay 😎
Rob Landes You've inspired me to pick up violin, can you suggest a good beginners violin? ps. I play the Piano :)
Do you have a marshals music store near you? They have some really good violins there that you can test out and see if you want one. My beginner was around 800$ (2nd one), but you can rent it. I never paid the full rent, I upgraded to a intermediate violin now (3rd one). But my first violin was a cheap 60$ one off amazon, i only used it to see if i was truly interested. www.amazon.com/Mendini-Violin-Strings-Shoulder-Antique/dp/B01MXTCVFL/ref=sr_1_1?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1503799092&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=violin&psc=1
Jesse Ward Thanks😄
Its a very difficult instrument, but knowing the piano will greatly help!
Not expensive enough. Do $2million violin next time.
GameWithAdam I hear a little static here in this violin
XD
GameWithAdam savage
I've seen a €5.5 million one....
I have a £7.7 million one...
He makes it look so easy!
Saara Noori pfft, that does not look easy not one bit
I do not want to watch this video. I want to be in the same room.
Wow the g string sounded so buttery and rich. The e string sounded so smooth and subtle. Amazing violin
the only Gs I know is myself and the g spot
dont wanna ruin the 69 likes
Harry Potter i definitely think otherwise. The older it gets. The better it gets. Not to mention it was handmade.
Wrong site dude, I think your comment would suit a porn video better.
hahaaha
When you can't stand anymore despacito and then realize that it's music is actually beautiful
+Annie Mz ❤️
Annie Mz ikr
Dude you are so crazy talented... I'm wondering how you violin guys close your eyes when you're playing. It's so cool and so intimate. It's so touchingly. Thank you Rob and greetings from Belarus)
+AlenaSchatzi thank you Alena! It helps me focus I suppose. :) Greetings from Utah.
Lol your name is Alena and my name is Aleena XD
You just get used to knowing where your fingers are meant to be placed to play a certain note so you don't actually have no need to look at the violin as you play, you can read the music, stare out the window or close your eyes
if you play guitar its essentially the same thing, soon you're able to strum the chords without staring at your hands. After enough practice it all becomes muscle memory and you no longer need to look at the strings to play the notes you want
Wow, 2k dislikes....must be jealousy. This is by far the best violin rendition of this song i've found on youtube.
Must be ;) Thanks man, I appreciate it.
Two-set violin’s video “de-spicatto” was quality meme material but this one blew the rest out of the park!!
Actually it's bc he's playing despacito
More like 1.2 million dollar player
+QuackTTR 🙏🏻
Rob Landes nice high five dude👏👏👏
Agreed xD
+King Karujin ❤️
but really though, those harmonics were god tier, I should have figured it was possible, but you do it effortlessly
What a beautiful sound!
+Ryan Sellers thanks Ryan!!
Are you from this planet?
I hate the actual song, but he makes it sound so pretty!!! 😍
Sarah Finger same
If you only where capable to understand the meaning of the original despacito only on spanish you’d se how cute it is 😊 soo romantic
Jb just ruined the whole thing
Yeh me also
Katherine Stevenson when I first saw translation I thought it was cursed af
I've been sick for days, and my pain levels have been unbearable. What a pleasant distraction and comfort this was. Thank you so much for helping and helping me keep my smile.
I don't know.. I would not dare to lay a finger on a violin that costs anywhere over $5,000..
Ikr... Owning such an instrument would just feel like a burden... Too much responsibility o.O
-.- I own a 10k cello
-.- nobody cares
I own a 47000$ guitar so what
Surprisingly, one must play any wood instrument to maintain its sound. Much like a fine automobile, if it's left to the ravages of time, you'll have a pile of scrap sooner than later.
*drops the violin* 3-4 seconds later....*planing to move to Mexico*
Lmao
Wtf hahaha
You mean Puerto Rico
houseofremix *puerto rico
it's a joke guys, you can get away with anything in Mexico.
Pure magic and inspiration combined. Thank you.
The way that violin holds those high notes is just amazing!
I am so in awe with your playing style. I wish I could skip the countless hours you spent mastering the violin and just be really good
+Nonde Menai lol. Check out the video I'm posting in 10 minutes. It shows some of my countless hours :)
Subscribed, I admire your talent and hard work!
Especially with hacks like myself just piecing things together.
I don't like despacito, but this I LOVE.
slender cream Me too!! I HATE despacito, but this is just amazing.
slender cream im latino and literally despacito is overrated!. And it is kind of perverted. It got famous cuz white girls were listening to it even tho they didnt understand shit! They would just listen to it cuz justin bieber sang it
DANIEL INTERIANO Exactly, I just hate it so much, my classmates play it ALL the time (spanish version) and I hate those perverted lyrics, so I'm always like: STOOOPP ITTT :'C
The original despacito is ok. Not awesome, but ok.
But this here brings the haunted melody to real life for sure.
THIS has deserved 4 bio views.
GrosserMagus The original? Or the one that JB screwed
The sound that violin makes is beautiful, the way you shape it is nothing less then magic
Hi Rob! Really congratulation for this version of despacito, it's wonderful!
The song is really beautiful... I feel it sounds kind of cheap when sung by Justin Bieber, even though I still enjoy that version, but you can really tell how good it can sound when listening to it played on Violin by this guy :)
The original song (if you speak Spanish) is shit btw xd.
Slyst like most current songs, it has a something beautiful that lasts 5 secs and then it gets killed by basic overused formulas and shitty lyrics. In the case of this song I liked the beginning the first time I heard it, really called my attention... 10 secs later I was groaning in disappointment
yeah... clearly the music composers in the industry know what they are doing but their melodies are wasted on the artists using them.
The song - as in the instrumental is pretty good. The lyrics on the other hand are complete shit and 120% just about sex. From the first time I heard it I cringed at all the lyrics but the music is the only reason I like the song
Cindy S Exactly. Usually all pop songs are just about sex and have $#!T lyrics. But the music itself is nice.
I can only imagine the public outrage if you used fidget spinner on this magnificent super expensive string! Haha
+Ahmad Shafiq lol which is exactly why I didn't do it hahaha. Mass unsubscribe
Ahmad Shafiq its just nade from legendary person and that is ehy its 1.2Mill
Rob Landes xD
I feel a chill running trough my body, this is realy beautifull. I didnt know tgis song could be any better
Simply you r awesome... And you played the violin so adorably...
That's a lot of violin you got there
lol, replied to wrong comment
Haha its violin shop
Dary Abiyyu a intrsuament shop. There are cellos. Or basses
The ones in the background are violas you can tell by the size
Hi I like cows If you mean The cello’s Then; 😂😂😂
Dude, those artificial harmonics (not sure what you call it on violin, that's what they're called on guitar) were amazing. I have always wished people would do more stuff like that. I have played the viola for a few years, but I play several other instruments. In my musical experience I have noticed the the culture of stringed instruments (of the violin family) is very restricting. You are discouraged from standing out or being inventive. This mentality is ideal for an orchestral setting, but it doesn't have to become a stigma stuck to every stringed instrument or piece of classical music. I love your feel and your imagination, and your "voice" on the violin (too many people sound the same). Your videos are awesome, keep it up!
+Camden Clark yes, they are artificial harmonics, and you're the first to comment on them! I absolutely agree with you, there are so many things we can do with string instruments but it's not encouraged in the Classical world t experiment with pop music in this way. I actually was really nervous to release my first pop cover bc I was afraid of what my peers would say, but after procrastinating long enough, I decided "screw it, you only live once" and now I get to do music full-time :) Thanks for your note, Camden, and keep practicing!!!
Thanks man, I'm inspired. I just give orchestra teachers anxiety attacks, but that's a great philosophy. Music needs people like you.
+Camden Clark hahah way to go!!
I belive those are called false harmonics
they're called false harmonics on the violin. they're honestly not that hard. i honestly thing double stops are harder which is when you play with two strings at the same time. he did both really well.
It's the first time that i really like this song. Thank You Rob Landes for that experience!
WOW! Thats so amazing! Your style is incredible!
Do 100 dollar violin versus 100k violin vs 1.2million violin😂.
+Harrison Walsh subscribe and you'll see exactly that next week!!!
Rob Landes holy shit 42 likes😂
Harrison Walsh I'm your 100 like 😜
Esteban Jauregui shit this is growing fast XD
Esteban Jauregui jaureguiiiiiiii wahhhh
Yes! Sounds so rich and deep. And those harmonics are 😱😱😱😱 like sounds from
Heaven!
+Amelia Murdock ❤️
Yeah, more you notice when is recorded with a microphone of a camera, very perceptible :)
Amelia Murdock and the ring or good too.
But is worth 1.2 million? Really? I mean REALLY?
And don't forget the compression of the video and audio that changes the sound.
You play with your heart and soul. This is my fav that you grace us with.
absolutely brilliant. THANK YOU.
Wow, man goosebumps. Wonderful musician, and a wonderful song.
+beatsByZlaya thank you 🙏🏻
As a Violinist I would kill to get my hands on this precious beauty of an instrument 😍😍😍😍😍 sounds like heaven
+Alex Rivers it felt like heaven too!
That was awesome, the sounds and dynamics you create make it hard to breath.
I really love this song ! It makes me happy .
Oh my goodness Rob what a beautiful sound! my favourite rendition of despacito yet!!
+Paula Blanco Rubio that means a lot, than you!!
Rob Landes you're so welcome!! I will see you live if it's the last thing I do. It's on my bucket list now. Your music is amazing 💛💛
despacito fuckin sucks and that's why I'm here to tell you that despacito is a song about hardcore dry humping and slow sex. to me it's not enjoyable.
Damn you're good. I could listen to you all night. Do you have a CD out yet?
+Amanda Jones just iTunes!
Awesome! Sounds like I need to finish using my gift card. I can't wait to listen to your work while I'm writing. :) I hope you have an awesome night.
Rob Landes Please get Spotify 😂
Wow the tone of that Violin is excellent, so precise and clear and accompanied by your Violin skills makes it pure joy to listen to this
You just made me cry! Amazing skills.
I have literally spent the last day playing this video through some speakers and then playing along on the piano. It actually sounded pretty cool aha 😂
+Flora Waters that is awesome!!
Pheobster1993 For life You should upload your video playing along. I am curious now about it
I you can can you upload it. Sounds cool in my head.
You should totally upload it :)
i di the same on my flute Lol
I honestly didn't think there was a song difference in diff priced violins...you just blew my mind...and my violin...
Your version is so dynamic!! *Love*
What smooth and rich sound!!! I think I'm in love😍
That's such a great interpretation man.. :) Cheers!
+RomanceOf theViolin thanks brotha 😎
Rob Landes The best rendition of this song I've heard. I love it and I don't even like the real song.
I do dislike this song, but I will admit this is truly a very amazing cover!
+nai727 you either love the song or hate it. Glad you liked this cover :)
nai727 same for me, I absolutely hate despicito although Robs violin has made sound 100x better
nai727 I find that offensive ;-;
nai727 The violin is a miracle. I'm not saying because of the price. You could literally play anything on it ^^
Will .101 ikr
What a fantastic violinist! Beautiful music - a grand job! You are blessed, thank you for sharing your fine talent with us.
Instantly obsessed with the tone quality!!!
I see a lot of people hating on him for playing this song, but would as many people click on a video where he's just playing classic music?
+Comment Guy bingo. Nobody would see this if I'd played Bach or Brahms 😭
Rob Landes
I wouldn't support playing such a well known song on such an expensive violin for the sake of clicks on TH-cam.
You give people too little credit. Why do you think so many scores in movies are popular and still remembered. A Classic or Post Modern piece sings to the soul while these pop music are just jingles made for immature kids. Never think little of your audience. If people don't want to watch unless you play a mainstream song of their liking. Then they never had respect for you and that beautiful piece of art you are playing.with then.
Rob Landes Adapt and survive
+Comment Guy I would. I'm not a classical music snob, I was just curious about the difference in sound between cheap and expensive instruments. I wonder if a different piece would show off their capability better than this piece or AC-DC.
Cmon. This guy needs more subs....
Oh my goodness, this is way the better of despacito! It's so moving! Gorgeous playing!
The most beautiful song with a most talented violinist, on a most beautiful violin, bravo!! I had not heard this song until Rob played it, he is the only one I want to listen to when it is played. Very satisfied with his perfection of the violin!
Your amazing my mom told me about you !! And I had to see you !! I play violin myself and I love it your just so awesome!!😊😊😊😊💓
How do you only have 19k I found you off the tannerites but wow your amazing! Keep up the good work! You are going places
+Mobile gaming mg Murphy thanks man! I appreciate that. I've got some big news to announce soon and hopefully it'll affect subscriber count :) I love Tannerites
Mobile gaming mg Murphy Ikr when I first watched one of his videos I was like this dude must have 1 mil subs or something which honestly he should and Rob if you see this comment then I just want to see that some day maybe you will have like 1 mil subs. Keep up the good work
+Diego 123 aw man, thank you Diego, it's all about learning what TH-cam and the viewers like! Working on it. Thank you 😊
Rob Landes Btw I love your 7 nation army cover it is actually the way I found out about you and now I am in love with all the songs you play and those fidget spinner ones tho😂
+Diego 123 jaja aye, que bueno escuchar eso!
the passion can be seen in your eyes and that's the important thing @Rob Landes
Excellent playing
And sound
My wife has played about 1001 different renditions of *ugh* Despacito for months on YT and this is by far the best rendition i have heard out of all of them... and I wasn't even looking for a Despacito vid. She also agrees.
+Mockstar 🙌🏻!!

Thats because of the song he played
he destroy it
99 cents at the thrift shop
Sounds like lamborghini for same price ;3
4 lamborghinis
If you find cheap lambos you could get 12.
yeah but lamborghini belongs to Volkswagen.
Audi, Scoda, Bentley, MAN, seat, Bugatti and Porsche as well.
Pīle Smaržīgais Or you could get a quarter of a Lamborghini Veneno for the price of the Violin.
_BlobyMcBlob _ no it's less than a third i think. Pretty sure the veneno goes for 3.1 million
Conseguiu me fazer gostar dessa música Despacito... maravilhoso!!

Do you want to hear $62 violin I bought off of Amazon compared to a really expensive antique Italian violin? Check it out: goo.gl/L4wwJk
Rob Landes wao ,a lot of difference.Money just makes the difference.
Gudy Ade Actually no. if you actually played the violin. you would know it would sound way better. it's like saying the only difference between a shack and a mansion is the money
Rob Landes can you play the viola?
hide the violins and let people guess which is which?
Put it on TH-cam, jackazz.
Glorious. An adjective I'd never thought I'd use for this tune.
This is fantastic. AWSOME
He looks like Tommy Vercetti
