welcome back to another episode of
twoset violin we've got a very
very interesting episode today where
we're going to be
basically we bought a bunch of uh cheap
stuff on amazon aliexpress
well depends on your definition of cheap
but compared to the typical violins
so we've got some gadgets that are meant
to help
you learn and get better at the violence
we also do have
a small toy size 1 8 violin and we also
bought a
full size violin because some of these
gadgets we are not putting on our
instruments yes i think
i don't want to take that risk so should
we start with the violence first
but this is the 1 8th size
violin and an affordable price of 29.94
usd
oh wow yeah dude that's bargain
no no
oh yeah here we go guys we're opening it
oh my dude it's broken
uh no the bridge is packed here oh why
are the strings like
packaged down on this side that's so
weird it smells funny
the d-shrinks off it's good they were
wrong
uh just they look like someone just
scratched it dude this violet is not a
violin
it's not even wood dude this looks
horrible it looks
not good this color is artificial af
what is this it's got glitter
it's just paint which is glittery don't
you have glitter on your hands
oh this comes with no manual how is a
beginner meant to figure out how to
install a bridge i know something luthi
has trained years and years for
and i also get the feeling the pegs are
going to snap dude there's no
flat string this is the flattest bridge
i've seen
the flat bridge society guys there you
go
[Music]
there's no string grooves we need to get
a knife no we have to do it
open we have to do this as this this is
a scam you can't play this yeah
the bridge is not cut well look at that
that's not this bridge
shape here they kind of shaved it off
but here they shave it even more so it's
so uneven
how's the beginner meant to know which
side to install it this is not a bridge
by the way the g-string side's the
higher one but i don't think they knew
right half a millimeter off-bridge
placement affects the sound and they
expect
it's going to snap should i do the
picture yeah i'll do the pegs down it's
going to snap
i'm scared he's going to snap and like
pop in our face
dude can you hear how to knock us
do you want to down the bow out while
i've tuned this disaster of an
instrument this is not missing they're
meant to be grooves here
dude the leather is not made well it's
like they just cut it no it's not like
melted on yeah it's just just put on
yeah
i'm scared this will pop yeah oh is it a
rosin
looks like p i'm i'm not tuning this c
string any high it doesn't feel right
i'm gonna put some rods on this
fantastic bow this bow's not even
varnished that's so dangerous
the wood could like scratch you oh look
at the tip
oh it's disgusting i can't see
look at the wood it's not cut properly
oh i'm done with this violin
oh you forgot to use oil not rosin this
is how henry now does it
[Music]
just because it might be a rosin thing i
don't know if i want my boat touching
that
monstrosity
all right have fun
oh it's not playable
it sounds like a dying something dude
the bridge is too flat it's a tough play
people quit they just quit they wouldn't
even
hear when death approaches
[Laughter]
all right moving on moving on that took
a while here we have the
full-size violin that is at the price of
67.72 wow what a great
market i can't wait to see what they
have and just to give you some context
student violent typically begins at
around 400
usd yeah i'd say that's like
just playable three four thousand is
like pretty decent professional modern
violence usually
20 to 50k yes solos usually play on
one to 10 million or half a million to
like 10 million
dollars yeah so that's the typical price
range now here we have a
67 72 wow
a natural acoustic violent fiddle craft
by linda with cape moose
case mute bow strings four strings hey
you know what else is the price that's
67 our two set hoodie
guys that's right 100 cotton is actually
the best of the best quality you guys
should see eddie opening this he's like
hurts my precious violin hands howdy
guys
check out the merch while we're at it
practice 40 hours in case you haven't
please oh here we go it looks like a
violin
this looks like a viola why do you pay
67 dollars you're gonna be always
there what the
again hey guys 67 72 how
look at this oh it's not even on the
right the freaking
sticking out why did i always pack the
strings beneath is that a thing
again the bridge is packed inside so
they expected it dude there's literally
wood chips that are falling oh yeah
it's actually like
i don't know if you can see there's
literally wood falling i think i
scratched myself
it's your turn i don't know did you hear
that
that's the pegs dude this is not gonna
work do these pegs look so
big dude they're like cello pegs you
know it's gonna snap
nah i don't put it on okay i didn't see
that bridge
i mean it's a bit more curved but
there's still no lines on it the heights
wrong
dude this is not a violin this is a
viola for sure and the fingerboard is
way too short
who is out here making this stuff that's
what i like why is this
passing protocol not allowed to sell
these
yeah look at that great division of
strengths
yeah because there's no freaking bridge
group so uneven right now
good enough now for the gadgets our
first one here
the virtuoso wrist practice a 15.90
place the wrist aid on the top of the
wrist just above your thumb
oh i said it again facing
like this like this
oh this is so it's like some torch in
here this is not
how you teach guys dude this is terrible
it's so bad they're so stiff
and they're playing on this one i don't
think that's playable to get on this
not to mention i have this thing between
my thumb
[Music]
i got that's the hardest horrible
thing
i guess it's meant to prevent you from
doing this or that the hell you know not
really i cannot
do this yeah this is how you take this
15.50
to never do vibrato ever again 15.50 to
ruin your technique let's see what else
can ruin your technique
ambo corrector yeah i'm not putting that
on my violin
13 13 great number
look there's a kid behind it with the
directions poor kid probably not playing
violin anymore
oh you can't even open it dude that's
going to destroy this
okay well we've got something destroyed
here
wait is that actually meant to go on
like that dude that is so messed up
don't slip that
oh guys i never both
crooked again look at this
oh my god this is so this is so bad
i think because this boat this new
system doesn't work and we're talking
hours of rostering this time we
sacrificed my boat are you sure i can't
play straight man but thanks to this bow
corrector i can now
you can see guys too bad it's too
all right you know what abc bow
corrector
first i haven't fitting through it this
is not to mention that i changed all the
wood like
as a place dumbest thing ever next
what is this
three-quarter full-sized violin bow
straight in column mater corrector
i don't know who it meant this is the
dumbest invention
well 7.99 oh this needs to go on the
small one because it won't fit on the
big board we don't recommend anyone
disgusting
oh wow that's nasty
all right i don't know if you guys can
see this but there's little like
foot things here that's meant to like
insert into the evidence disgusting
that is disgusting but i mean this
violin doesn't matter but like don't buy
if you have a proper
do not even just don't you're not meant
to always
play 100 parallel anyway and you can't
change your contact point
what's the point how do you go closer or
further away from the bridge and how do
you re-take you can't look
yeah i landed back in landed back in
what if you wanted to go from closer
bridge to sultasa and in order to do
that you need to angle
momentarily or this is the worst
look i'm at the bridge i want to move
here
wow the sound changes i have to angle my
bow to do it let me do it again
yeah yeah imagine he lift his bow off
he has to try and aim it again oh look i
want to go closer bruce
better angle this way so the bar comes
closer to the
oh all right next one right next one i
need to have a shower this i do
i feel dirty violent universal yellow
plus white stallion force here for
violent bow
what why are they selling violent both
one dollar and seven cents
oh what a bargain oh that looks
i don't think we want to touch this but
let me put my violin back first actually
oh eddie it's uh new here for your week
yes i'll hold this
i think you can play i'm not using my
roles and i'm not touching yeah i don't

on my face man
i don't want to guys you get the point
just look there you go
you're playing like this
they got best demonstrations at least
this one has like slightly more space
but i do not like the idea of putting
that much side pressure on the side of
my heart the ribs of the bottom do not
deserve this paint at all guys don't use
bow correctors
don't buy any of the stuff if your
bottom is cheaper than 100 bucks
