Eww!!!
Bugs!
Eww!
Bugs bug me out.
Eww!!!
- Yeah! - Oh by the way...
Our new T-shirt!
It's a looser fit,
check this out!
Whoa!!!
It has all...the violin anatomy,
so if you want to be educated,
here it is,
for your friends as well.
Just look at the back.
Guess what's not a part of a violin?
Bugs!
But today we're watching videos of
bugs inside instruments.
Dude, that's gonna be horrible.
Have you had a bug inside your instrument before?
No, but I had a luthier—
I don't think he's a luthier,
he's more like a salesman.
He tried to convince me that
there might be a bug in my violin
- and he needed to open it up for like 500 bucks, yeah. - Really?
He saw like a little dot and was like,
"That could be a worm hole."
And then I told my teacher, my teacher's like,
- "Nah, he's full of crap." - Yeah.
But anyway!
- Not to get sidetracked, let's see! - Yeah!
If you've ever seen your bow look like this,
you, my friend, have been the victim of bow bug.
Are you serious?!
There's a thing called "bow bugs"?
I was just gonna say,
if you see a bow like that, you just don't practice.
You don't touch your bow.
- Yeah, and you can't even practice like that! - You can't practice with that.
You need a full re-hair!
Unless you literally just did a performance
- and broke that many bows...hairs. - Yeah!
- In which case, you should probably chill the F out. - But then you‘ll probably...
- Maybe a bit too much articulation on your strings, - Yeah...!
and attacking the strings, so relax a bit.
But maybe it's a bow bug, let's check it out!
So bow bugs, first of all,
don't get grossed out,
they're not like disgusting roaches or anything like that,
they're little tiny bugs.
But...
Basically their sole purpose in life, is to eat bow hair.
And, under normal circumstances,
they only can live in dark.
So you're only normally gonna get them,
if your case goes unopened for a long time.
- Eww! Yeah... - That's why! You're not even practicing!
- You're right. - You're not even practicing!
But it's disgusting, I don't wanna know.
I always had nightmares,
- like a spider just crawls out of my...F-hole. Nah. - *groans*
I always thought about that.
If a spider or a cockroach crawled out of
the F-hole during performance,
do you drop your violin,
or do you let it crawl onto your face?
*groans*
Okay, nah, okay.
Alright, I wanna see the bug.
- Just skip to the bug. - Come on.
See these little cream coloured tiny,
they're smaller than a grain of rice,
they're maybe a third of a grain of rice.
That's how tiny they are.
Those are bow bugs, and actually a lot of what you see
may not even be the bug,
it might be the shell it left behind,
- because they do, they get rid of their shell... - (both) *groans*
The worst case of bow bugs I ever saw,
they had literally cut straight through the hair,
every 2 inches.
So the entire case was full of
2-inch long hair segments,
it looked like confetti.
This is disgusting.
That's so nasty.
Guys, if you don't want bow bugs,
practice.
So simple!
Just practice.
- So simple. - Yes.
Alright, now...
The next one is apparently piano felt.
Is that like the cloth, on the piano?
- Like, you know, like in between the keyboard? - Yeah, yeah, yeah...
Yeah, like that stuff.
Whatever it is, piano gang!
And it's damaged by clothes moths...alright.
Whoa!
*groans*
Dude, what is that?!
It looks like a small PP!
Why is it extending out?
Oh, it's so disgusting!!!
What is that, is that its neck?
- Dude that's disgusting, that's actually disgusting. - Dude...
Imagine you're sleeping and it crawls onto you.
*groans*
How does this even happen?
Pianists, do you know?
Like is it just not practiced, not touched?
I get a feeling if you practice though,
they wouldn't be there.
Yeah, probably they just didn't practice,
and this person probably lives in a frickin'
tropical jungle...
- ...or something, like how...? - Like a basement.
With editor-san.
Ugh!
Ugh!!!
What is that?!
Is that a cockroach?!
Nah, let's change it, I'm a bit...
- ... traumatising. - Yeah.
That's such a great ad.
I don't think so.
We don't get our piano serviced that often and
- I don't think we have bugs everywhere, - Well I don't clean the keys under the piano
- once a year. - yeah.
Maybe tune it once a year.
I think this is their idea of trying to get marketing.
I know.
I don't know if I can go on, these videos are so...
- Yeah. - ...in your face.
Felt worms hide inside your piano.
(both) *groans*
- Man, I feel so...disgusted. - I feel like, prickly.
I know!
Kill it all!
Exterminate it!
I feel like we traumatised some people
- on touching instruments now. -Yeah...!
- Most instruments don't have them. - Yeah.
Guys, it's fine.
- This is just for shocking factor. - Yeah.
But we've never seen this before,
I've never seen this in real life.
23, 4 years of classical music experience,
but I've never seen this.
I've never even heard this happened before.
Until now.
Until now, yeah.
I don't like the sound of this.
White crawling worm underneath clarinet pads?
Dude, I don't wanna see this.
Dude, clarinet pads!
Might go in their mouth!
Oh, no.
- Why are they filming this? - I know.
Focus, camera!
It looks like our camera.
Is that the—oh, that thing's a worm!
Oh!!!
That's nasty!
Dude, and they—
(both) Ugh!!!!
- Oh, no!!! - Ugh!!!!
(both) Ohhh!!!!!!!!
That was a worm!!!
- *groans* - Ohh!!!!!!!
I thought it was inside!
It's like feeding off the saliva from the clarinet.
Dude, ughhhh!!!!
- So disgusting! - it climbs up your tube,
and you do like circular breathing,
and you take a breath in...
*slurp*
...and you swallow it.
- Dude, this is all the same marketing strategies. - I know, it's like...
Using bugs to market the clarinet servicing.
I get it, everyone that watches is like...
*groans*
But no, seriously though.
I think professionals practice and
- clean their instruments, like... - Yeah.
...you don't see that.
I’ve never heard a clarinet player, say…
"I didn't service my clarinet for one year,
so there's a worm inside now."
Clarinet players out there, let us know!
Comment below and let us know, please!
Oh, god.
Ohh, I don't know if I can watch this one.
Oh, god.
I was cleaning out some stuff,
moving some stuff around in my storage area,
in my percussion area in the garage,
and I found this...
...disgusting situation.
If you kinda get grossed out,
like don't watch this while you're eating.
- I was getting distracted by his little... - Dude, I...
Yeah...!
Looks like a moth.
Is it a bug?
You see what looks like sand down there?
That is, the result…
...of...
...some insects, or something,
were eating these toenails.
Goat toe rattles.
That's some interesting...
...percussion instrument.
Did he say "toenails"?
Yeah, goat toenails.
- I mean, guys… - Maybe you shouldn't use goat toenails
as a percussion...
- Yeah, I know, right?! - Yeah.
Maybe you shouldn't use goat toenails.
They're not supposed to have holes in them.
Um...
I guess those are what was...
Yeah, that's them.
*groans*
Nah...
I'm getting the heebie-jeebies.
- Nah, I'm done with that video. - Nah.
- Nah, nah, nah, nah. - That was disgusting!
Oh, I'm gonna pack my instrument
every time I finish now.
- How many of you leave instruments out there? - Oh, yeah!
- I'm gonna pack my violin in the case. - Nah, I always think that!
I always think, um, a bug crawl into my violin case.
'Cause I remember we're at summer once,
where I was like,
"This is a place that would have bugs."
So I always made sure...
- ...when I practice, I don't leave my case open. - That's true.
So disgusting!
Alright, let's keep going.
Oh, it's cutting a hole into the instrument.
Probably like, termites or something?
Is that right?
(both) Ohhhh!!!!!!!
Ohh!!!
Ohh, ohh!!!!!!
Look at that!
So disgusting!!!
Dude, your hands are too close!
- Ohh!!! - Your hands are way too close.
- Ohh!!! - Dude, that's dis—
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
I thought the black things were the ants.
- But no! They're frickin' maggots! - You saw it, right?
If you see that on your violin,
you’ll throw your violin out, hey.
- I'll throw it out. - Yeah.
- Like, "I'm sorry bae, but like... - I'm sorry.
- ...you betrayed me." - "You're terminally ill."
"You betrayed me so hard."
"You didn't tell me you have bugs growing inside you."
Dude, you just give it a quick and dignified death,
and burn it.
Look, guys.
Just practice every day so you always
look at your instruments,
so this would never, ever happen,
that's the moral of the story.
Hey, look, I'm a bug.
Anyway, guys!
