But your violin's so out of tune...
Uncle Roger can't even relax.
Can I get refund on this baby?
Just refund.
*Crying*
Hi guys, welcome to another episode of TwoSet Violin.
And today we have a very, very special guest...
Uncle Roger.
Hello, niece and nephew, it's Uncle Roger.
Hello, TwoSet Violin, how you doing?
We're doing well and yourself?
I'm good, I'm good.
So, what we doing today?
We want to share with you...
Your typical prodigy on violin.
Okay, okay.
Uncle Roger don't play any instrument at all.
But, no problem, I will judge this prodigy. No problem.
All right, so we have a video here.
Of a...
A boy named Kevin Zhu.
Playing Carmen Fantasy.
And in this video, Kevin is nine years old.
Nine year old? Very impressive.
When Uncle Roger nine year old,
all I knew how to do was egg fried rice.
I still can't do egg fried rice.
All right, shall we start?
Yes.
Ohh....
- Okay. - Ohh...
Okay, so...
That sound, that nine-year-old was making...
Is a full-on professional tone.
Mmm.
Ohh...
It just sounds like violin to me.
What so special?
It's the difference between a perfect fried rice
and like Jamie Oliver wet fried rice.
So you saying his violin sound no olive oil.
- Yes. - Yes. Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, no olive oil.
Okay, okay.
Why his shirt so shiny?
Do all violinist need to wear shiny shirt?
When Brett and Eddy, you guys play violin,
do you wear shiny shirt?
Well, we're not worthy of the shiny s***...
When we perform.
Only the true prodigies.
The true prodigies have the right to wear the shiny stuff.
I think the better you are at violin,
the shinier you have to be,
his shirt shiny, his hair also shiny,
that means he really good.
How many note he can play at the same time?
Oh my god.
I thought violin only four string,
but he sound like he making like 25 notes at once.
What you're hearing is double stop, so it's like...
The ability to play multiple notes at one time.
Is that hard technique, double stop?
It is very, quite hard because...
A good double stop...
Has to sound like two individual violins
playing at the same time.
- It can't sound like one violin trying to do two sounds. - Yes.
Oh, so this is how we exploit violin people.
We pay them one wage for playing two people's notes.
Yeah, yeah. Exactly.
I also want to talk about...
See the piano woman?
Piano lady back there.
Somebody came and turned her page.
That must be the worst job in orchestra.
Some people play trumpet, some people play trombone.
And then this person, just page turner.
If the piano woman start memorizing her notes,
then he will be out of a job.
Well, actually, you know, the page turner...
Has to have musical experience.
They not good enough.
- Hey. We didn't say it. - We didn't say it.
He said it.
Ooo.
Uncle Roger didn't know you could play violin like guitar.
Just plucking the string, use finger.
I guess...
They wanted to also cut cost on the guitar player as well.
If you want to cut cost, just fire the page turner
and make the piano woman memorize her stuff.
Okay, like, that was...
That's difficult because...
It's called artificial harmonics,
so the pitch becomes higher.
But you're getting the same notes.
To Uncle Roger's ear, it just sound like high pitch.
Like two cats fighting.
Did I tell you, Uncle Roger favorite violinist is Yo-Yo Ma.
Uncle Roger, what do you think about the bass?
Ohh, Uncle Roger know you and Davie504 have beef.
But...
Because I'm on your channel now, I think violin better.
- Ah, yeah. - There you go.
That's right.
- You heard him first. - Bam!
Boom!
It's so hard.
Uncle Roger know this song.
I hear this song in so many elevator before.
This is very famous song.
You go to any hotel lobby, they play this song.
*Cough* It's a piece.
- *Cough* - Yeah, it's a piece.
Piss? Piss?
Not piss. Piss is what you do in toilet.
This is song.
How many note at the same time
can you play maximum on violin?
I'll say...
Scientifically, three.
But what you hear, four.
Yeah, that is a good way to put it.
I think they should just hire more people.
Instead of playing all four notes, hire four little Asian guy.
Because Brett and Eddy very unemployed right now.
They need to play, give them a part.
- Yeah. - Damn it, Kevin Zhu took our jobs.
I know, Kevin Zhu took our jobs. They're cutting cost too much.
Dude...
Dude, oh my god.
Oh, okay, that is like...
High level agility on the left hand.
So, you see how, Uncle Roger, do you see how
just then everything was a double stop.
Everything he played.
And usually...
For a violinist to play so many thirds...
So quickly, we get like a hand cramp.
Yeah.
It's so hard to like - And his hand was so relaxed.
I like how when he play,
so much concentration on his face.
Mmm.
Last time Uncle Roger had so much concentration,
I was filling out my divorce paper.
You know what, I feel like such a failure.
I think I'm done.
I think I need to go redeem my self-esteem.
Yeah.
I think I need to go practice.
Bye.
Bye bye nephew Brett and nephew Eddy.
Bye bye.
Oh, somebody forgot to turn off computer.
What a waste of electricity.
Ha?!
Uncle Roger!
Long time no see.
This is Auntie Yang.
Auntie Yang, long time no see. How are you?
Good. Oi.
Brett, quick, quick. Uncle Roger is here.
You should play some violin for him.
Yes, nephew Brett, play something for me.
Did you practice Sarasate?
Yes, mom.
Usually, when Uncle Roger listen to song like this,
I want to relax.
But when Brett, you play, I cannot relax.
I feel bad for you, sounds so terrible.
Anyway, thank you very much.
Hope you enjoyed watching this video.
And make sure to practice,
so you don't sound like this disappointment.
Also, Uncle Roger, thank you very much for joining us today.
No problem.
