As a pianist, I am afraid of dropping my piano quite a lot.

I love when you guys randomly tell us stories as if we're all friends gossiping

*Conductor falls off the stage* Brett: Well, I hope that guy is okay... Eddy: HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Guy: I'm going to drop this violin. *drops the violin* Brett: Whoa, I didn't expect that to happen!

Eddy: "Don't let the world judge you" Also Eddy: Let's react to other people being såçRiléGiøuS.

Petition for Brett and Eddy getting at least 7 hours of sleep everyday.

One time, like 12 years ago, I was at a concert, the elementary school kids were playing some funny pieces like Joplin at orchestra. When orchestra got on a stage, violinists were "shrinking" the space between sits for the choir... and they pushed themselves to the stage's edge. One poor girl violinist when sitting on her chair flipped off... and she landed like 1.5m below outside the stage. She held the violin and her bow up high in the air so only her body got hurt... #truemusician

I think the reason why the harpist flinched so hard is that he might've thought one of the higher strings snapped and obviously protected his face. You know, those in the lower range are usually not supposed to break this way ahah.

Brett: We're very...we're on... *we're very on low sleep* Yes Brett we can see that They look so tired omg...

Everyone: **flinches at instrument dropping** Me: **laughs in piano**

I flinched so fucking hard when the harp string snapped. I’m an archer and the coaches always tell beginners horror stories about people snapping their bows and injuring or blinding themselves or others near them as a warning about being reckless and not checking your equipment regularly. One time we were shooting in a canyon on a hunting training range and someone spectating stepped on a stick while the archers on the line were at full draw (as in arrow loaded, pulled back and ready to release) and everyone just let go, ducked, covered and scattered cause we thought it was someone’s bow snapping but we didn’t know who to dive away from. It was literally like watching a flock of pigeons scatter.

Here is what Mutter said herself concerning the incident: „That happened to me in Australia. When I made my debut in Sydney. A conductor who‘s always conducting with a huge amount of energy - sadly to much energy - hit my left hand, the one holding the violin, and my violin flew like a propellor through the air behind my back. It was like a horrifying slow motion from a movie. It then hit the ground. Luckily it fell onto it‘s side and not onto it‘s back or the front where the bridge is... to make a long story short... astonishingly the fall didn‘t cause any damage to the violin“ Source: (translated from german) Blaue Couch, Bayern 1

Boys please go sleep. We can wait.

There are two types of people: A Brett: "I hope the guy's okay" An Eddy: "AHA HA HA HA HA HA"

Eddie seems like that friend who laughs at you first, THEN asks if you’re okay. 😭

1:41 Brett got more scared by Eddy screaming than the video itself LMAO

When a violin falls Eddy: TRIGGERED!! FLINCH! MAD!! When a person falls: Eddy: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA edit: wow! i did not see my comment reaching more that 2K likes. if this was the subreddit i would be noticed by TWOSET already. hahaha #lingling40hours!!!!

Eddy: Let's watch it again and not flinch, are you ready? Me: NO, I'M NEVER READY FOR THIS

When I was in highschool, I needed an elective credit to graduate and joined orchestral band since it was the only one the fit into my schedule. The thing is that it was "honors" orchestral band but the director was super cool and understanding of my situation. He said I could choose any instrument and just go with it. I chose the bass clarinet because it looked cool... Not ONCE was I able to make a sound. I just moved my fingers because I couldn't read the music either. It was a good year.

I’m a harpist. When bass wires break, which is somewhat rare, the sound is compared to a gun shot. My professor told me a story of one of her bass wires breaking during a concert, and it flung forward slicing open the back of a violist’s head who was sitting in front of her. The conductor, who was apparently kind of a jerk, kept going and even gave my professor a dirty look when it snapped as if it was her fault. The piece was a harp feature, and she managed to play the piece without that bass wire, practically saving the concert. She is an absolute beast. I wish I could have seen that performance.

New challenge: take a sip of bubble tea every time Brett’s hair changes in the video.

The girls who tried to save her violin : NOOOO The violin hitting 3 things: *OHHH BABY A TRIPLE*

In orchestra, I asked this boy in my class to pass me my rosin from my case, since it was next to him, and I was across the room. He threw it. Literally. I had about 5 things of rosins in the pouch, which I would let my friends borrow. Well, at least I didn't ask him to pass my violin.

*Guy falls* Brett: I hope he's alright.... Eddy: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

8:42 i’m a choir member and its true, we sing weird songs (especially some foreign folk songs about fire or tree or something). i’ve once sung a song in which a whole 2 page just sounds like we are drinking soup.

When I already own a red flannel and want that one. My husband: you don't need anymore flannel, you have enough Me: but I don't have that one.

Dear Eddy and Brett, Please get more sleep and take care of yourselves! All of the fans who care about you will agree that your health and well-being is way more important than releasing a video every single day and even getting burnt out :(

I totally fell off the riser on stage A FEW TIMES during a jazz festival in high school. I was just too into my music as lead trombone. Luckily, all the guys around me were super protective and I only weighed about 110 pounds. Stuff happens and ya just. keep. going.

Eddy's reasons hinted home quite on point: A: questionable technique B: questionable setup C: questionable posture D: in some unfortunate circumstances, maybe your body physique is less suited for violin playing Me: this is exactly why I play the viola so all points above gets accurate xD

Who bought the bubble tea? p.s. As much as practice makes perfect, rest is also important.

I dropped my flute several times and... I fell off the stage once.

I’m glad that Eddy playing ode to joy on a plastic recorder still sounds like someone playing ode to joy on a plastic recorder

When the video started, it was so clear Eddy needs sleep; his eyes were drooping!

You know they're not on their normal selves when they haven't said SACRILEGIOUS or INTERESTING or even LAMENTABLE throughout a video. P.S. While I do love watching your videos, and I'm turning on the notification bell hoping to get my dose of TwoSetViolin, I genuinely want you guys to have rest. GO PRACTICE but go rest as well. We prefer lesser uploads but with happier and healthier Brett and Eddy than constant uploads while risking your health at the same time. Okay? Okay. I love you guys. Thank you, as always, for making us happy.

8:52 "ight my job is done so ima head out"

Once, the final years played Carmina Burana in concert. It was fabulous: Great Orchestra, great choir, excellent soloists. They played in the big hall, it was about 500 people in the audience. Finally they played this last powerfull passage of „oh fortuna“. When there was silence after the last fortissimo chord, the drummer dropped his sticks on the timpani. It was so loud and his face turned red like a tomato. And 500 people bursted into laugher. That was unforgettable 😎

I fell off a stage once during a rehearsal. It hurts, but not too bad depending on how you land. It’s mainly the surprise of it that gets you.

I remembered watching a longer version of the last clip. The conductor just shouted "I'm okay" while under the stage, which makes it extra funnier and kind of reassuring.

8:35 this is the best surprise face I've ever seen

5:40 I had an e-string ripp while playing slashing over my face. It barely missed my eye and I had a bloody cut wound from my forehead over my brow and then continued under the eye over the cheek... no scar though!

EDDY HAS FINALLY MASTERED THE RECORDER. HE’S PART OF THE RECORDER GANG NOW.

5:51 I thought you guys said that _sh*ting_ yourself was the worst thing that could happen

As a father and a musician the sound of instruments hitting the hard floor is unmistakably connected to when your children are running around hitting their tiny head on floors… you never ever forget the sound…

Was never afraid of dropping a violin before but after watching the clip at 4:18 now I am

this is so unconnected to the video but whenever twoset thanks us i feel like we haven't done that much, but 'that much' includes: -some of us waking up at 3 am a few times for them, -staring at our phones/tablets/computers for hours watching their videos -supporting them in hard times and trying to boost their self-esteem -making edits of them -not doing homework bacause of them (ok maybe this one is just me) -buying their merch -coming to their shows -basically making them a job so they can live a better life -NOT PRESSURING THEM TO POST EVERY DAY AND LETTING THEM HAVE SPACE AND TIME TO LIVE THEIR LIVES Twoset we love you and im sure our lives wouldn't be the same without you, we laugh with you, we learn with you, and we don't just consider you 'youtubers', we think of you as family, and someone that makes us happy. I know you probably won't see this but we really appreciate you and love you. Stay safe, happy, and healthy. NOW GO PRACTICE!

Eddy's comments on tight necks were so useful for me since I'm about to write a diplomma thesis in physiotherapy focusing on preventing neck pain in beginner violinists. and yes, twoset sparked the idea behind the theme, I gotta admit...

Hey, some people DO get tension while holding their violins because of fear of dropping them. When I bought my forever violin, I could hardly play it for any time at all, because I'd get so tense. Finally realized it was because I was worried about dropping it, partially because it was old and expensive, but also because it was so much lighter than my previous instrument, I didn't feel very secure holding it. Changing my setup definitely helped, but the fear was a big part.

Eddy's priority as a violinist, "left hand, u'll be fine, my face can't go tho"

I hope that Eddy actually practices sibelius and not recorder 😂

Can we talk about how ADORABLE eddy's laugh is?

0:03 Man, Eddy is OneSetRecorder, I like that. Brett is OneSetTriangle

One time my orchestra teachers alarm went off in the middle of one of our concerts and her phone was hooked up to the auditorium speakers because one of the songs had a backing track

I found a fake street performer and their string on the ukelele broke, the music was still playing... 😂😂

Well I didn't use to be scared of dropping my violin.. But things have changed after watching this video

Was playing in the varsity orchestra during a rehearsal, my violin was on my lap and the conductor in his usual fashion came speeding past, knocking my violin by the scroll and it slid all the way to the cellos on its back. Luckily no damage😅 shame he felt bad, rest his soul

I love how Eddy immediately counts A B C D like a teacher 😄

0:46 Once again, Brett is on the cutting edge of fashion.

Get a good rest guys! Pls dont push yourself too much Maintain a good health especially in these hard times 😞🙏 You guys makes us happy, you guys also deserve to be happy 😊 have a nice break for awhile ^^ Edit : No need to worry on your look Brett, rly, be comfy with yourself 😊😊 Thats one of many reason twosetter love what you guys do

I have a story... So basically during the Singapore Youth Festival(some performance whereby schools are graded) the conductor of the school after our choir (not gonna say) had his tuning fork fly away when he was conducting halfway HAHAHAH (no one knows why he holds his tuning fork when conducting but yea)

OH MY GOD THE GUY FROM 8:46 USED TO WORK AT MY SCHOOL

Eddy: don’t let the world judge you 10 seconds later: *scoffs* what the-

Eddy I can actually hear you tongueing the notes now instead of wildly blowing into the recorder - good job!

For the first clip, I 100% agree with the guy that not wanting to drop the violin is a huge contributor to excess neck/shoulder tension. A lot of teachers don't bother about younger student's set-up especially, so my experience in middle and high school was always feeling I was about to drop the instrument while also being told to stop squeezing my shoulder up. After a several year switch to only cello where I learned about proper body mechanics, I have just recently come back to violin but this time the first thing I did was research and try out chin rests until I found one that's taller and works for me, in combination with shoulder rest size and placement. But from my previous experience I had to re-train myself to let go of tension and trust my adjusted set-up to keep the violin in it's place.

That guy at 9:00 is fine, he says "I'm alright" afterwards and the crowd claps

Guy in video: "I'm gonna lift my head till my violin falls." *violin falls* Brett: "I diD nOt eXpEcT tHaT!"

When the person fell off the stage: Brett: OMG is he okay?? Eddy: " laughs hysterically" 😂😂😂 Love you guys!!

You’re literally the only wholesome Chanel on KZfaq that I enjoy watching anymore it’s just you guys so please please don’t ever go 🥺🥺I’ve been watching you guys for over three years and KZfaq these days is just so vapid and empty that you guys are my only saving grace

I love it when you laugh and tell stories and the editing comes in, it makes the whole video funny

I think for the first clip, the guy was referring to beginners or more specifically young beginners (3, 4, 5 years old). In that context I think what he said was pretty valid, because when I was that age I remember being really scared to drop my violin. I really had to work hard to stop my left hand from squeezing and my neck being tense.. not a good reason to drop a violin like that, but.. you know.. Anyways, thanks so much @twosetviolin for making these great videos! Have a great day guys!

I didn’t realize that I had my volume turned up all the way and I basically lost the challenge the second the video started

twoset, as much as we love your content, we care about you and i think you guys should get some rest. take a break. we will love you guys no matter what

SLEEP. LET EDITOR SAN AND SUBTITLER SAN SLEEP TOO.

I couldn’t stop laughing at the choir. During one of my high school concerts the choir required a clapper and when the time came to use it the senior who used it broke it and swore in front of everyone, but you couldn’t hear it because the song kept going! Everyone around him was laughing and the band (including me) was happy that we would finally get a better one!😂

3:40 “Do it on your bed, and be gentle.” Hmmmmm HMMMM

petition for Brett and Eddy to get at least 10 hours of sleep for every 40 hours of practice

Do more! So funny!

Me: Sees violins dropping *haha pianos can’t relate*

0:37 "Hey, Don't let the world judge you. As long as you practice 40 hours a day, you can style whatever you want." -Eddy Chen, 2020 Btw, Brett looks so cute with Button-up fannel. :D

2:07 - And now we venture into the land of "You get triggered, you lose", with proffessor Eddy :P. 3:19 - For scientific (and evil) purposes, I sort of understand the idea of testing how much the violin can resist a fall (some people do it with phones). Not the most pretty way to treat the instrument, of course; but sometimes (very few times) the knowledge might be useful. Out of that, the guy's script needs to be verified. 4:35 - The worst part for me, after watching the clip a couple of times, is that you can see when she realizes she is not going to make it. And then the violin drops (I guess this is one of those times where the perfomer could need the knowledge of how much beating the instrument can take... not that it helps much with that horrible feeling of just having dropped it, though). 5:10 - The musician's reaction is priceless. Of course that comes after the realization that there are no damages to his person XD. 5:55 - The instrument said: "My planet needs me!" :P. 7:56 - "Ja... It can take it". Just kidding; but sounds that someone has nerves of steel and/or some confidence/knowledge of what that particular instrument can take (allegedly). 8:57 - Not related to classical music, but in one concert of a mexican band called Maná the singer pulled the same trick twice in the same song. Be safe, performers: know your stage. And that's all; excellent video :). Hope you later enjoyed the liters of bubble tea won in this episode :).

...I'm not a musician, and I don't have a musical instrument to cherish, but I flinched massively at that guy dropping the violin...

I've just seen two adds before the video. The things I do for you guys...

"Don't let the world judge you" - Eddy 2020 ❤️

I am so happy rn. I don't know why I want to tell this for you. I'll get a violin soon and Twoset made this video. I have composed violin duet just for Twoset, but I can't send it for them. Its okay 😊

Person: *falls off stage* Eddy: that’s something I would do Me: that’s something I have done

1:06 Brett always finds an excuse to drink bubble tea hahaha

Dropping a Violin, for educational purposes? Didn't learn that in my Master's degree...

0:11 ThEy'Re GoNnA lOvE tHaT..

I played viola from fourth grade to high school. I had to stop because of terrible neck/shoulder pain. I wish someone had taken the time with me to listen and help fix whatever issue was causing it. I mean I wasn’t that good but a lot of that was because it hurt to practice! I’m living vicariously through you two now. Thanks for the videos. 😊💕

I went to a Joshua bell concert once where in the middle of a sonata he tries to flip the page and ends up almost dropping his strad and dropped his bow across the stage. The true panic in his face when he almost dropped the strad.

Violin falls: Brett and Eddy: 😱😱😱 Human falls: Brett and Eddy: 😂🤣😂

8:08 my choir hosts a competition and one of the Chinese choirs there sang this song and literally EVERYONE LOVED IT! It's really just random as heck!

Guys even when you get old I always will watch your videos. Love you too, I'll be here when brett recovers

Twoset seeing instrument fell: OH GOSH OH NO POOR INSTRUMENT Twoset sees a man fell off stage : HAHAHAHAHAHA LOL

Me hearing the Anne Sophie Mutter story: I don’t think itd be that bad, she can always buy a new violin Me after Brett said Strad: CUT THE CAMERAS..... deadass

Love you guys 😂

Me a drummer: 𝗗𝗿𝗼𝗽𝘀 𝗱𝗿𝘂𝗺 𝘀𝗲𝘁

Eddy telling Brett not to worry about being judged Eddy at 00:50

Someone commented that every time Eddy plays the recorder he gets better at it. It’s true.

Fucking hell. I don’t normally laugh this much in reaction videos 🤣 this one got me good 👏🏼

That violin drop made me flinch harder than anything I’ve seen before in my life
