Me, listening to the "difference" on my mobile phone's shitty speaker: Ahh yes.

7 STRINGS?!?! Sacrilegious

As a non violin player, I wasn’t expected to notice a difference but the expensive one definitely does sound more resonant

Gasps in viola: “Those rich low notes!”

So, for $5000 you get a Violin and a Cello.

bro went from violin to cello in 2.3 seconds

its like violin makers all collectively said "lets make violins look as far from a violin as possible"

I feel like expensive violins have like a laughter or a joy in their sound

There are 7 string violins? *Djent enters the chat

Could really hear the dollars signs on the last one. Beautiful

Brett and Eddy be like: U know how much is a strad Woah thanks for the likes

Let's be honest, we all came here to see the comments of other fellow twosetters about the violin, right?

As a violinist, I am angry I didn't find this channel sooner.

"This is Radio Freedom, broadcasting all day, all across the Commonwealth." it sounds exactly like the violin they used for that in fallout 4

Those low notes were so pretty though

"Look how they massacred my boy," -- Paganini

Homie took us from South Carolina to 16th century Ireland in a matter of seconds; that’s a superpower

If it has 6 strings, is it really a Violin?

I didn't expect to be able to hear a difference (tiny phone speaker, electric violin, all that) but the second one instantly sounded smoother and more complex. It's absolutely gorgeous, too!

That expensive one hits different from an audiophile perspective

This reminds me of Stephany, who knew how to play violin, I miss and love her and her family.

the second you hit the 7-string with the bow my ears started crying tears of joy. such a beautiful tone

The range you get on that 7 string Jordan is incredible. I love the way those lows sound

“All is quiet in the Commonwealth. Stay safe, people”

Man that 7 gets EASILY down into cello territory and sounds fantastic.

Me who was staring at the teal one behind you the entire time thinking: “I WANT IT.”

That’s amazing, I love the difference between them and how they’d be used for different songs/genres

Back in 1958, I wanted a cheap violin for Christmas, but was given a guitar instead, which I didn't want. Both of the instruments were $15, but I think my father believed he could teach me the guitar, not the violin. The only time he tried to teach me the guitar was on moving day, from that house, about 12 years later. I never did learn the guitar, but I eventually repaired my grandfather's old violin and could play a few songs on it. My mandolin and banjo came later in life, and at 76, I have just given them away. Your violins sound fantastic!

Imma stick with my $60 20 year old violin, but y’all stay safe out there 😭

Wtf you crushed my picture of violins. Everytime I pictured a violin I think of the classic violins like a stradivari (probably mispronounced that one XD). But these look so cool and futuristic I mean if one of the aliens in the cantina band star wars scene played one of these I would've totally thought the prop master did a awesome job

that last one belongs in a museum. so amazingly beautiful.

I really prefer when during comparison people play same notes, makes more sense

MY GOD IT CAN GO LOW-

Amazing instruments and excellent player. Learned a thing or two..Ive never seen violins like those.Quite cool.

I love that their "cheapest" violin still is a very good instrument. A bad instrument can completely ruin your motivation but music stores stock them nonetheless because they sell so many of them and it makes up for a lot of their profit.

The cheapest one is pretty good, but OMG the expensive one is phenomenal!!! My ears are so pleased.

That's super slick looking

i just bought a acoutsic violin cant wait the journey im about to go thru!

Putting aside the difference in sound. That Jordan is a work of art. It is beautiful. Definitely designed to be caressed, and loved ❤

The second one is just straight up... SACRILEGIOUS!!!!

That Jordan is purty. When I get alto and bass clef down, and have 5k, I'm going to have to come visit

**Me listening with my Dollarstore earphones:** "hmmmm. Interesting... Such quality"

You can definitely tell the difference. 1st still sounds very good for being moderately priced but the latter has a clarity and richness that the first just cannot reach. Both are good but it’s clear why the first is more accessible.

It’s kind of sad that when I heard 5k I thought, “that’s all?” Acoustic instruments are way too expensive

maybe i’m just an orchestra nerd but the sound difference is crazy. both are beautiful but that second one is so fire

The sound on the expensive one is a LOT brighter and cleaner!

Electric Violins are so fascinating. One of my favorite bands uses them: The Cruxshadows.

They both sound amazing :D

I don't know how I ended up here but I'm glad I am and I subscribed

I'm just amazed at how seamlessly he transitioned the expensive one from fiddling into what sounds more like classical style playing. Hopefully I'm that good one day

My goodness when you brought out that second one. That violin is beautiful

How could it be a violin if it's 7 stringed?

These Yamaha Yev one's the most expensive electric violins in my country market actually...

Oh, was expecting non electric instruments. But they do sound legit

Back to back you can really hear a difference in just like the general richness of the sounds

These look quite sacrilegious

If you can’t instantly hear the difference, it might not be your headphone’s fault.

they both sound amazing, and I love the choice of an irish reel/bluegrass sound to demonstrate them, but the more expensive one has a beautiful resonance and range that the less expensive one does not

I like both, but the low end on the expensive sounds NICE

The more expensive one is obviously the lovechild of a violin and a cello. What a beautiful baby, they have their mother's eyes and father's nose.

The clarity is astounding but each has there unique qualities that can be utilized in amazing ways. Don’t let the price of an item determine your motivation to improve.

Wow, what a difference. Both sound great, but that expensive one has a clear, full sound with those extra strings.

those r some trippy lookin' violins

Damn that was cold bro. Love the style.

The expensive one seems less an instrument and more an art piece that can be used as an instrument

The first one sounds like a tavern, the second one sounds like a royal banquet

thought he's gonna pull out a strad out of nowhere

I didn't expect the difference to be so crystal clear My god money well spent on that Jordan

I feel like the first one has quite some resonance, which gives it some metallic notes, while the second one has sharper highs and more mids (not counting the extra strings).

They both sound great. Nice playing too!

I feel like both are good in their own instances. To me, expensive sounds modern and the cheap sounds classical.

I play acoustic violin, but i for sure want to get an electric violin at some point, especially for clearer direct audio straight to my daw, instead of playing around with EQ to find the right frequencies to cut out the BG noise.

1st one sounded like a dusk evening on the porch with your family all picking different instruments and drinking and eating and jusg having a good time. Amd the other sounds like you're hearing a work of art. Both beautiful

The more expensive one is much smoother and warmer sounding. My 2 cents.

With that design, both look like instruments from the year 2099

Comment says "cheapest", my mans says "least expensive"... THAT'S a salesman lol

Feel like dueling the devil with that bad boy

I used to play the clarinet and had a basic one, but had the privilege of playing a wooden clarinet with gold keys once. Someone in my class got it as a gift from a family member and let us try it out. I was amazed by it. It had such a difference in sound. It was a beautiful instrument.

I still prefer classic violins but the electric ones look cool too I really just love the wood pattern on especially very obvious wood

Wow the 7 string felt so much more expressive and resonant!

I absolutely LOVE that expensive one! What tone

Wow!! They sound amazing!!!!

That’s beyond words loveliness!

I can't help but sing a sea shanty for both of those comparisons

The second one sounds noticeably better

On my shotty phone i can actually hear the difference and ive kinda fell in love on yt shorts listening to expensive violins

That second one sounds like a god damn mini cello.

I did not expect that second one to go that low.

Yammaha are a jack of all trades. Master of many

The second one sounds like I'm listening to Radio Freedom in Fallout 4 lol

The expensive one's sound is much richer than the cheaper one.

Is it just me or is the simplistic nature of the cheeper one more beautiful? Sure you are getting a wider range of notes with the expensive one, but cutting down on the true "feeling" of the lesser one.

I’m so relieved that I could hear a difference. If I didn’t hear a difference in the sound, I was about to have a conniption over the difference in price lmao

WOW, that second one has the range of a cello! As a cellist, count me impressed!

Was really rooting for the cheaper one but DANG that sounded good

I do have to say the more expensive one does sound a lot better but both are very nice

This is radio freedom, broadcasting all day, all across the Commonwealth...

I've been playing my YEV for 4 or 5 years and it's perfectly good. I run it through a multi effects pedal that also has octave so I don't need a cello glued to it. But, I do regret not getting the 5 string with the added C string.

That violin sounds perfect to play country music 🎵🎶🎵.

For reference to non-musicians, my family and I got my viola for around $2k-3k from our local shop in the mid 2000’s. Not electric or anything, just a standard viola. :)
