    ABOUT TED'S LIST:
    If you are new here... Welcome! I'm Robert Emery, and I’m lucky to have been a professional musician since the age of 16. But if my name is Robert, why is my website called Ted’s List?!?
    In 2015 I became a Dad. Teddy entered the world and has since gone on to love music as much as I do. Music is my life and passion, touring the world as a conductor and pianist, performing with the most amazing talents on this planet. But how could I help Teddy’s friends and parents with their musical education?
    Ted’s List is the answer.
    I have a thriving career as a musician, so I don’t need to ‘sell you’ music lessons or expensive courses to make money. My friends and I can simply give real advice as pro-musicians, and that’s what makes us different.
    You can access all of the content without signing up to a single thing. If I could get one ‘result’ from this video, it is getting you to take ACTION. All with the hope that you have music wrapped around you like I’ve done my whole life… It’s what I call my ‘Musical Duvet’.
    I hope you find our content helpful; and if you do, like, subscribe and share it with someone who would find this useful. I’m sure it will save you time and money in finding the very best of what you need, for the lowest possible price. And most importantly of all - I hope it inspires you in your music-making.
    Leave me a comment and let me know what you think or if you'd like to request a video, that's your place to let me know what you'd like to learn about!

    From a very early age, I gravitated towards the cello, because of the warm sounds and it's a pretty cool instrument and it closely resembles the human voice at times. I tried to learn the violin, but I have fat fingers and I was also discouraged by a very snobby teacher who criticized my instrument very early in life. He told me never to come back until I have a real instrument. I was given a very cheap violin by a friend and I spent some money getting it fixed up, I replaced the sound post, got a new bridge, and new stings and he refused to teach me. I eventually gave the instrument away and it's probably playing in some symphony in Toronto. Today I have 3 cellos (2 acoustic and 1 electric).

    I play bass guitar, and I love it, but I would love to learn to play double bass as well; with a bow and fingers. I would say my favorite is the double bass, those low notes are so deep, smooth, and moving. All of the instruments have their place; there is no "best", but for me nothing beats bass.

      Hi Mari. You are correct. It’s totally silly. But that’s the point! We were all together after a recording session, and thought ‘what would happen if we all try and ‘fight’ to prove our instrument is the best’. It wasn’t rehearsed. We just turned on the camera and let the musicians talk; and this is what came out!
      Of course you can’t have an orchestra without all the instruments. But it’s interesting to know why each player thinks their particular instrument is worthy of the title ‘best string instrument’.
      Don’t you think?

    The best overall instrument of every instrument type will be whatever instruments that have a Contra-Alto/Bass fundamental pitch from Double E-flat to G Bass, that's EEb/Eb-1 to G1. If it has a dark tone playing it's fundamental pitch, it's Contra-Alto. If it has a deep tone playing its fundamental pitch, it's Bass. That's the only difference between Contra-Alto and Bass is the timbre/tone since they are the same pitch. Contra-Alto/Bass instruments can go really really low and really really high which is why they're the best. They all have atleast a 5 octave range. In that regard, the best valved brass instrument is the F Horn pitched in FF Contra-Alto. The best non valved brass instrument is the Trombone in FF Bass, although the F Horn can still go higher. The best single reed woodwind instrument is the Clarinet in EEb Contra-Alto. The best double reed woodwind instrument is the Bassoon in G Bass. The best non reed woodwind instrument is the Flute in G Contra-Alto. The best string instrument is the Cello in G Bass. These instruments have the most versatility, the richest sound and add the most color vs the other instruments in their class. If you combine them all together in an ensemble full of Contra-Alto/Bass instruments only you will hear a gift from God himself as they can cover almost the entire harmonic series.

    Viola and double bass. I prefer not to stand out. But between viola and double bass; I choose viola as it is smaller.
    If I am going for the double bass, then I'll go with bass guitar just for the mobility/portability. Both double bass and electric guitar uses E-A-D-G if I am not mistaken. And both instruments uses bass clef on sheet music.

    A 5 string cello with a high E string can reach very high notes like the violin, and is more comfortable to play...and with a low F can reach more notes of the doble bass. And you can have a 6 string cello.
    For those who likes the violin form, with a 5 string viola one can have the high E string

There is no "It's actually percussion" or "It's actually stringed". Because to say either would take away from the other.

To play a cello, the player sits with the instrument between their legs. For bass, they stand or use a stool.
