    2:32 when brett said "unleash the f-holes" i just imagined him on stage, preparing to play a big chord, and then little f-holes come scuttling out of every corner of the concert hall, attacking the audience members with their sharp legs and pointy little teeth, and when brett strikes the chord, they all do some kind of acoustic thing and his g major chord booms through the theatre, turning everyone almost deaf.

  • @wakingtheworld

    Suggestion to Editor San to place the options at the top in future, cos when you stop the vid to read them, the wording is then blocked by the symbols at the bottom of a YT screen! We're not all as knowledgeable as Brett & Eddy so need a bit more time. Also these options were not left up for long enough. Otherwise a great vid to see how much I know from my TwoSet & Olaf education!

    Regarding catgut strings, I heard they were called that because a young sheep is known as a "kid". So the original term was probably more like "kitgut" or "kidgut". Somehow it morphed from "kit" to "cat" over the years.

    I read somewhere that the scroll (or lion's head or whatever the end is made to be) is actually extremely important in terms of the accoustics. I read somewhere else that it has an effect on the balance of the weight. Don't remember my sources, though. Perhaps ask Olaf?

    • @thornhill67
      @thornhill67 Місяць тому +1

      Yes, Olaf mentions this in one of his videos. It is something like the spiral shape allows the dissipation of waves of various frequencies to happen harmoniously. And for this reason, violins that have a lion head or something else in the place of the scroll, tend to over-resonate.

    The violin is the epitome of the design philosophy of style _and_ function. Every single part of the violin has its purpose. It only has to be as complex as it needs to be and no more. No single piece can perform efficiently without the other. And yet it has been expertly and meticulously crafted and combined to create an elegant instrument whose sound has captivated the hearts and imaginations of millions.

    I am a 14 year old boy violinist from Illinois. I love watching your content, I recently switched from viola to violin just 2 years ago, I am now playing the Seitz Violin Concerto, Schindler's List, and Beethoven 5.
    I have just recently, about 5-6 months ago got a violin teacher to guide me, and you two are motivating me to practice everyday (even if my fingers bleed) and so I can become the best ling ling I could be. to make my favorite UA-camrs proud. If you could someday watch the video that I made about the Bach chaconne, and my Seitz that I am working on, that would make me smile the most. Keep creating content, you truly motivate me through dark practice rooms.
