"The beginning of Brett's psychosis..." *Brett's Lo-Fi starts playing*

Judging by the amount of instruments Brett has, they can start an entire orchestra along with their friends.

violin after many years varnish: non-existent stickers: peeling off sponge glue: yellowing grip leather: gone wood: exposed rosin: I WILL SURVIVE

“not like it matters to you guys” BRETT WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY I AM JUST SEEING YOUR NOSTALGIC SMILE

Man, Brett’s parents are so nice, immersing and nurturing their son’s musical interest and it shows that they properly invested on him too. Not just parents who wants you to play proficiently but are not willing to spend that much.(granted they are capable)

These two dorks planning the next 50 years together is kinda cute.

*After seeing that black folder we need to officially start the petition to have Eddy play the Prokofiev VC. no 2 for 5 mil.*

the iconic and timeless "DON'T RUSH" remark that everyone has on their music

I teared up when Brett said "I remember you playing it". Like, they have spent so many years together, so many years of their lives. I wish every person on this planet had such a dear friend like they are to each other.

Eddy and Brett talking about 1999 like it's ancient time when people traveled by horse and there was no electricity 😂

can we just say about how cute Brett is talking about his childhood treasure, and Eddy being immersing to Brett's memory as well? Oh, they're so cute!!!

Eddie: complaining about why he has two bows me: *sweats as I somehow had three in my first violin*

I love to see how Brett shows all of his childhood stuffs and Eddy only bring his black draft.

“Some of you weren’t even born.” Some of us were 10. I laughed then cried.

I’m sitting here watching, thinking, “Oh, yeah, all of this stuff is so old, from when Brett and Eddy were tiny beginning musicians.” Then Brett holds up his first music book and the date he got it is the year I got married. 😆 Don’t worry, guys, you’re still young. 😅

What stays forever? Answer: Nobody, nothing. Rosin: WAITTTTT

Brett's parents are so sweet for keeping everything in a very good condition and supporting their son since the very first beginning. And what do you mean by it doesn't matter to us? We treasure this episode so much! Good luck for the practice for the tour! Stay healthy and have some bubble tea too

Ling Ling's first instrument is the universe itself. Ling Ling also made a religion called Ling Lingism. It's holy book is called "The Theory of Everything". Unfortunately the original manuscript was lost during the Big Bang.

*Eddy* :that’s about the only relic i have from the past *Brett* : but that’s the most important one, something you wanna keep *the only things Eddy kept from his childhood was his violin, the black folder and of course, Brett* me: **inaudible crying noises**

It always amazes me that they know each other for like 15 years now, that's more than half of their lives, and there are still things they don't know about each other, there are still things they can learn about each other

I remember pulling my first Yamaha keyboard from the attic that I got for christmas when I was 8, and when I saw it, I just had to sit down and cry for an hour straight. Never EVER get rid of this stuff. It's prime material for your origin story. It'll make you remember things you thought you forgot. It's not even a nostalgic anchor, but more like a talisman for happier simpler times.

"But mine is bigger than yours, slightly bigger." -Eddy Take in the sentence as you wish

This video explains why Brett was able to pull out a bunch of medals so randomly from their last video

They can play another symphony with their own toy instruments now.

I just practiced on a full size violin today- i'm gonna do my exams like in a few months! You guys really encourage me. Edit: Tysm guys! I hope the rest of you do well in your studies and stay safe!

6:45 Brett: well it doesn't mean anything to you guys Twoset fans: *disagrees*

"Can you imagine a room full of kids playing these instruments. It must be hell." Can confirm. Great vid guys!

He kept saying "not like it matters to you guys" as if like seeing people go down memory lane with stuff isnt one of the nicest things! I love seeing people reminisce ^^

Given the sound of Brett's violin, it's a miracle that he persisted in playing!

5:04 Bro what happened? The beginning of Brett's psychosis *plays Brett's lofi*

Eddie: violently shaking Tamborine. (That got me😂) Me: sound of childhood.

Dude, you think 1999 is a long time ago??? Here, I'll make you feel young again: I was in college by then! My first Suzuki book came with an LP record! And was printed in Japanese because they hadn't published the cello books in English yet! Also, I had to walk to high school uphill both ways! (Because I lived on top of one hill, and the school was on top of another...)

Brett's red bag at 5:31 is from the Ju Percussion Group (朱宗慶打擊樂團) in Taiwan. I had classes there as a kid too:) They had changed the bag to orange though. lol

I envy you guys...you we're able to keep those! Mine got swept by the flood when typhoon hit our country. Those are ready to be displayed in the TwoSet Museum OMG a cassette! If you feel old...I feel ancient 😂

Its actually so moving to see these. Sure, they might not hold a personal sentimental value to us specifically but there's something so nostalgic and moving about seeing someone's beginnings and journey. Thank you so much for sharing, guys:') Makes me want to take my old stuff out a reminisce a bit. It's easy to forget how far along we've come

Twoset should perform something with their first violins they got

I just know this gonna be the cutest thing ever

Anyone else imagine little Brett and little Eddy playing those tiny violins and smile like a proud parent or is it just me?

lmao it feels like Brett can put together an entire band just with the instruments from his childhood

2:58 Eddy: Mine is bigger than yours tho Brett: That's true. 😂😂😂

Brett’s adorable backwards 9’s in the date in his book. Dyslexia gang!

Brett speaking mandarin out of the blue is definitely quality content

Brett; your parents kept all that stuff because that's what parents do when they are proud of your dedication and accomplishments. That, and the fact that no matter how old you get, in their minds you will ALWAYS, ALWAYS be their "sweet little boy". (And parents always hope that items such as these can be passed down to their grandchildren! Just sayin'.)

i really love their genuine reactions and talkativeness, especially Brett when he’s talking about his childhood precious memories

If these items are auctioned even Belle Delphine can’t compete with her bathwater sales

Really happy and supportive vibe from Brett’s childhood stuff. Eddy’s childhood almost lost in history🤣 And this video explained why Brett is the most like person to buy the stupidest things (Brett: why not it is SO cool and super fun)

I do not play any musical instruments but I do shoot (recurve archery, although I haven’t practice shooting in a long time due to pandemic, no place I can go to shoot). One thing I have found similar for archers and string musicians is the fear of the string snapping 😅

Watching TwoSet already gives a warm nostalgic feeling, especially with their humour that just feels so familiar. TwoSet reliving their first violin memories is just 😭💗 It's also cool to see their first steps learning music. They weren't born geniuses - they're human after all! AND I love that they're still learning so much about each other 😊

Brett: “Not like it matters to you guys” Me: :'( This is kind of like a little get together with your close friends and reminiscing about the past. My friends and I would usually do that sometimes, especially with my best friend and it just has that vibe. I love those moments of being able to look back and talk about our memories and point out little details and stuff we had over the years. Especially childhood memories of what they did as a kid. I want to listen to the story of their knee scrapes, their first pets, the accident to their scars. When Brett said those words, its like being in a close knitted group and a friend pointed out that we don't care about their hobbies or the silly little trinkets they keep and treasure that makes us see what molded them to what they are now. I don't think anyone that have stuck out this long in your channel is any different from me. We do care. :') And I'd just like to let you know that.

4:33 Cassette tapes are litteraly definition of my childhood! My parents had old radio and box of tapes. When I was just a few years old I sat down beside that radio and I could listen old songs for hours. Just imagine 6yo listening to all these 70's, 80's hits and dancing to it xd (DON'T JUDGE ME, my love for classical music started a little bit later). Thanks for bringing this memory back

4:32 "Do you guys even know what this is?" 😀 Yes - it's what I used to listen to music on in the 1980s, on my 'Walkman' (not a Sony, some other brand, but we always referred to it as a Walkman anyway). What a nightmare when the tape ribbon was caught and it used to chew, and we had to gently untangle it and get a pencil to wind it back up again. I love this journey down memory lane!

So this is why Brett had those medals while guessing those prodigies age

2:51 Eddy: wow...what's this brand? Brett: Twoset violin brand 🤣 But seriously, people will legit buy your brand 😆

Eddy upon seeing Brett's harmonica: Imagine there's some saliva bacteria from 20 yrs ago that's still there. You could uleash COVID21 into the world by blowing it XD

*Brett: It probably doesn't mean anything to you guys* **sobbing** I’m so glad you felt like sharing this with us, so emotional and nostalgic. It’s been a long journey for you both guys! Look how far these lil Brett and Eddy had come🥺

Neat video. I didn’t play an instrument growing up, however I was in choir. In high school, our choir and band always went on a Spring trip and I went the two years we went to Disney World (Disney was every three years so I was in one of the classes that got to go twice). In college, we did little Spring tours each year. My violin journey started as an adult. From about 2012 until 2019, I tried learning on my own, very inconsistently. I started lessons in 2019; I’m almost done with Suzuki Book 2 and will hopefully start book 3 soon. I also am using the Doflein method beginner book and have a Christmas book and Disney song book as well.

Okay but exactly *how* many instruments has Brett dabbled in?

Showing off the medals "That's the sound of practice"

“That looks kind of cool in a vintage way”Well yeah Brett has been an old man his whole life 😂

7:22 Another reason for Eddy to play prokofiev for 5 mil😎😏

Thanks for the history. Old is both relative and real. Born 1954.

Brett’s tiny-ass bow is reminding me of this one time my senior year of HS. We were working on the 3rd movement of Benjamin Britten’s Simple Symphony (Sentimental Saraband) and the 2nd chair 1st violin-we’ll call him Ben-accidentally forgot his bow one day. None of the violins had a spare bow, so our teacher pulled out the punishment bow: a 1/16th size bow. The thing was 12 inches max. It was adorable. “Ben” is fairly tall, so this bow was about the length of his forearm. So every time I would look over at the concertmaster, “Ben” would be in my line of sight and I’d catch him attempting to use this little Lincoln Log, and I would crack up.

My violin case when I was 5 was similar to Brett's but with an ugly cheap green felt inside. Also my piano teacher made me do the scrapbook thing just sticking in photocopied sheets of music inside. I covered it with contact like I did with all my school exercise books. Ah the 80s lol. (btw I can't play either instrument anymore lmao).

Eddy's bragging about how his violin is bigger than brett's i wonder what else do they brag about

I found that is really interesting when they share abaout their childhood..

Brett whipping out that Piano book at 8:50 sent me baaaack 😳 I’m pretty sure I used that exact book as well!!

Aww this is so cute! Two friends chatting about cute childhoods ! I remember playing keyboards in primary school, and recorders, and then violin in middle school and then flute.

04:59 一二三 so cute

Brett's first violin is 7 years older than me :>

My sister and I had a starter violin and case like Brett's! Popular in the 80s and the 90s! You guys feel old when thinking back to 1999? I was in my 1st year of university when Brett was playing beginner piano 😂

I love how they talk about 1999 like, "Dude, some of you weren't even born then." Meanwhile, I'm thinking, "Gee, I was already 19 by then!" LOL. It's okay, Ling Ling is eternal!

I wanna say, I JUST finished watching your "reacting to our childhood violin performances videos" for the first time while bingeing your videos this morning & this couldn't be more appropriate to watch right after 😊

Brett is a purebred classical musician indeed!

This episode is adorable, perfect for comfort vid. It's always nice when you're able to hold on to precious things from your childhood. And hey, cassette might be ancient but it's in its cool retro era now, people be making custom cassettes for birthday presents and stuff! 😂

I can SMELL Brett’s violin case!! Looks almost exactly the same as my violin as a kid lol. The blue velvet, the rosin the wood, the bow hair!

Brett looking emotional when Eddy starts describing the music book and his stories 😭😫💕

6:19 ✨🏰

I think I had that Yamaha kit as well!! Mine was from early to mid-90s Japan. There were a bunch of tiny black magnets included in the kit and we'd put them on the music sheet on the back of the lid to learn which note goes where. The square shaker/maracas thing had been in my room for at least ten years... I finally got rid of it a while back, but hey, I still remember it. Thank you Brett and Eddy for such a wholesome video!

Okay but why is Brett so adorable

Imagining little Brett play all these cute little instruments that makes me UwU

Brett: *brings a bunch of toy percussion instruments* Eddy: 🤩🤩🤩 Editor-san: *war flashbacks*

3:46: Me, born in 1968:" You just wait and see, what's in store for you.." Especially when it comes to the EYES section!🤦‍♂️😖😡 When I was a kid AND a teen, I could see in the dark. Forget about that now! I'm 54,and just had new glasses. Again.. and they DON'T help about night vision!🤣🤦‍♂️

I really love nostalgia, even when the memories don't belong to me :) It was nice to see you both looking back on your history of playing violin. Your video led me to go down my own Memory Lane. I found my clarinet, books and practice log that it turns out I last used on 17th May 1995. The cleaning cloth, reeds and some now-green-tinged cork grease were still in the case - I'm not sure whether to try to play the clarinet or do a bacteria swab-test on the contents first...!

My son (9years old) is in his forth year of learning the violin. Seeing your scrapbook and the page with "Aunty Rhody" made me giggle... that was one of the first songs he had to learn too (here in Austria)!

Wow Is that red kit/bag from 朱宗慶打擊樂? Geez seeing that unlocked some ancient memories of mine lol. It’s so awesome seeing Brett’s parents kept it all this time, even after moving from country to country.

Amazing how Brett's parents bought all those stuff for him to support his musical education👏

6:06 All the possible careers ROFLMFAO

so wholesome ❤️ ❤️ i've had this exact trip down memory lane when i started watching your videos last year and it made me want to dig up all my old piano things, scores and notes, and start playing again 😊

The piano book Brett pulled out and glossed over was the same type as when I took piano lessons in 4th grade!!

Just reading through the comments gives me a nostalgic vibe, it's so nice to see people sharing their stories. Everyone has their own unique childhood, and there are good and bad things happened back then. I sincerely hope that everyone here, myself included, could only remember the good memories and embrace the bad ones 🙏.

2:00 Ha, TwoSetViolin exposed themselves as former child prodigies by comparing their smol violins. Also I was a bit disappointed when Brett did not play the harmonica that would be so cool :(

That pack of percussion instrument is from group lesson of JU Percussion Music School in Taiwan. My 6 & 9 year old sons are in the same music school right now in Taiwan and they have the same bag of instruments!!

When I was small my Music teacher recorded my vocal lessons for home practice in casettes. I still have them and listening them brings back a lot of memories.

Imagine all these items exhibited in TWOSET MUSEUM in the year 4040 😀

I UWU so many times while watching this video🥺 All those tiny little treasures that Brett had - how precious! Seeing those stickers on Brett’s starter violin made me realise that every great violinist starts somewhere just like everyone else, and it is an immense amount of practice and dedication that take them to great heights. I don’t really know how to explain it, but I’m so touched by the fact that Brett and Eddy had kept their passion for violin and classical music alive and burning after all these years:’)

For someone who wasn't exposed to music (and other elective/recreational) classes as a child, this sure is an interesting video

I love these kind of heart-to-heart videos. It's so nice to hear Brett and Eddy talk about their musical journey and life in general :)

I'm from NZ so seeing some of those books was such a rush of excitement lmao- also that silver (alfred's i think??) beginner piano book- that was my first one too!

"I think I spend like a whole year on that" me who spends at least 2 years on a single piece: *uhm-*
