They have such a rich tone.

i’m a viola player and my boyfriend CONSTANTLY makes fun of me for it. It gets old after like two jokes :D.

:O

​@@javierquiles953 I've been thinking about making a strong video directed at TwoSet and their viola jokes. I teach at a school and many of my violin students have been offered viola but turned it down because (and I quote) they "don't want to be made fun of" and "don't want to risk getting bullied by being told they play a sh*t instrument". I think that that's really sad, and of course the viola jokes have been around since before TwoSet had formed, but due to their constant jokes and disses of the viola they now have followers that jump at any chance to join in and make fun of the viola/violists and it's that that I have a problem with. My violin students aren't afraid of being bullied by TwoSet directly, they're afraid of that small pocket in the social media community that joins in with the jokes and so they want to preemptively NOT start playing the viola in order to avoid possible bullying. As a teacher of many years I know all too well that I personally (especially as a violist) can take a joke but young children usually can't. They don't get sarcasm. They take insults very deeply. They instead thrive from praise, and so by seeing only jokes and put-downs from TwoSet regarding the viola, the instrument is now not an option for them. Children shouldn't take social media so seriously but unfortunately they just do, we're in that sort of world. I guess my request to TwoSet would be: please don't make so many jokes about the viola OR at least share the playful insults about certain instruments around evenly. Lastly, I must share that one of my viola students (aged 8) has decided to drop music entirely and switch to sports because she couldn't deal with all the negative comments about the viola, particularly coming from TwoSet and the comments section in their videos. In the decision to give up viola, my student blames TwoSet and the people in the comments section that help "spread" negativity. Sorry for the ramble/the novel I have written. This topic is just very important for me to write about and bring to light.

@@liamnevilleviolist1809 i would love to see that video and see two set react to it. They’re my favorite youtubers and i know they’d 100% change if they saw they where taking music away from children.

Victor Hugo i was thinking exactly the same thing

I'd say TwoSet, but they're already marked.

the joke is literally hundreds of years old, it's more about tradition than anything else at this point :)

@@mikoajp.5890 just cause it's old, doesn't mean it's right.

What is the shape of the earth?

Thank you Paul, for the such nice words and the suggestion! 🌸

Thanks Ethan :)

Cristina y Patricia thank YOU for playing/posting this great performance! I have heard that this can be a difficult piece (I wouldn’t know personally, i play violin), and the tone and sound on the viola is beautiful!

Me sucede lo mismo, Alfonso, es una delicia descubrir a esta increíble violista

Thank you! I play a 2016 Falk Johannes Peters viola (41 cm).
