Me too. I'm playing it next week. It's my first song. I love how it sounds and I love playing it because it's pretty challenging to me. I'm a beginner so I don't hate it like everyone else.
@@lonnisplace1459 i hope you don't start to hate it, it's beautiful but it's extremely overplayed which is one of the biggest reasons classical musicians avoid it. This also happens to fur elise, everyone knows the first 9 notes, but doesn't know the angry and difficult part.
That's so interesting! I wasn't aware that this existed. Since the body of the cello is purposely bigger to accommodate for the low resonance, wouldn't the small body of the chin cello affect the low frequencies?
Yeah - they don't really bring the thunder until you plug them in. Then they sound WAY bigger than a cello. A cello body has limitations, too. But a piezo pickup can reproduce frequencies lower than the human ear can hear.
i mean that’s why viola isn’t the best instrument for sound because it’s harder to carry that low c. this instrument would not sound great, especially in person
@@SkullPrince8 yea but i’m just trying to explain the origin of the viola not being considered the best. i also play viola and i love it. still so much freedom and a very wonderful range. the instrument is just not set up correctly to cary those notes
And if you just go with a regular 5 string electric and put an octave pedal on it you can even play it in the right range. Hell you can go down 2 octaves as well if you're feeling a bit crazy.
@@ElectricViolinShop I bought a couple 1/8 scale cello C strings to try but they are still too long and I’ve balked at drilling out the pegs for the thicker strings.
As an answer to the actual question - about switching from viola to cello - I found it ok but definitely a bit weird with the clefs. I started on violin before adding viola and then becoming predominantly a viola player. So I had already switched from treble clef to alto clef which was sweet. Then as a viola player I found myself playing a lot of accompaniments by reading the bass clef of piano or choral music so I was pretty happy converting from bass clef music to finger patterns on the viola. When I went to cello though it was obviously an octave away from what I was reading on viola! That sometimes tripped me up when I wasn't paying attention! I'd say though that switching between string instruments is not too difficult as you have a lot of the core techniques down. Things to watch are - the lower the instrument, the longer and slower the vibrato you use. And the bow feels so different when playing cello! (Oh and make sure to buy cello rosin as it's a lot thicker) Should probably say I'm not a professional musician but have played strings since being a kid so a 20yr hobby
I'm not a violinist nor a chellist, so I don't understand anything people in the comments are talking about. All I know is that the violin sounds in tune and the chin chello is on my to-learn list.
That's amazing! My mother plays the double bass and I played the violin so I thought I knew all the instruments of that family (obviously with the viola and cello, I've even heard of the octobass), but I think this is the first time I've heard of hybrids and in-betweens.
Look up the Violoncello here on YT. You'll want the one by the Netherlands Bach Society. One of my favorite pieces on that instrument, and one of my favs in general that the channel has put out. :)
I play a tenor 5 string tuning G2 D A E B4 it lets me play tenor sax solos. Instead of octave strings I use full length viola strings for the top 4 and a super flexible octave G
You can select an option in your phone's camera for reverse video output, so you that things will look as they should, unless you only have left handed instruments.
Not that I’m into this sort of video, so no idea why it turned up, but that was actually interesting, and it blew my mind how powerful those low notes were coming out of that small instrument.
I want that so bad!! I've always wanted a cello bc of the sound, and I got 1 for Xmas a couple years ago but learning to play it on my own I never truly got used to the position you play it in(since I'm a violinist). I bought a 6 string violin recently so I could play songs fully that require notes on the c string. But if you're telling me there's an instrument out there that can be played like a violin while sounding like a cello, SIGN ME UP!!!
As a trumpet player, this reminds me of the bass trumpet; it's a trumpet, but an octave lower. The only real difference between it and a euphonium is the tibre. It obviously wasn't used much for that reason but still interesting nonetheless.
I've heard it suggested that that's what Bach was playing when he wrote the cello suites. Only they call it violoncello dalla spalla, because there were no chinrests in the 18th century.
It's true. Bach never saw a modern acoustic violin. They weren't invented until after he died. He played a baroque violin (different neck, strings, and tuning).
I'm a violinist who played in the second violins section of my highschool string orchestra for years and Canon In D Major is ingrained in my mind. My OCD kills me hearing any part of the piece played out of tune whether on violin, viola, cello, bass, and even this chin-cello. Funny enough, now I can't get the image of chinchillas as celli (
As a Cellist, I don’t know whether to rejoice in the success of our low-octave conquest, or to put helium into that cursed child of violindom and cellodom
@@ElectricViolinShop absolutely! By the way, I ordered from you guys a few months ago and I was very happy with the NS electric cello I received. My favorite instrument by far! Thank you guys!

Now to find the cello with the same range as a violin and call it the giant violin

Every orchestra teacher should have one of these. Portable, and u can play everyone's part
For sure

Is anyone making strings for my 5-string Octave Viola these days? I’ve been out of luck ever since Super Sensitive walked away.
Following 😶
Not yet. We're doing what we can. It's hard to get these big companies to make specialty strings. There just aren't very many of us yet.
@@ElectricViolinShop I bought a couple 1/8 scale cello C strings to try but they are still too long and I’ve balked at drilling out the pegs for the thicker strings.

this afternoon, my conductor called us cellos a big violin, i got offended jokingly
Chincello sounds like a Pokémon.
CHINCELLO I CHOOSE YOU!!!
That would be heaven to play the sixth Bach cello suite in the original key!!
Bruh nah bro *sending this to twosetviolin” lol
I'm sure they'll have an incredibly open minded response.
My friend is a Cellist, and I was watching this with full volume on. Suddenly heard him shout "TURN THAT SHIT OFF!" when it got to the end.
Bro I'm a pianist and it STILL snatched my soul at the end
As a cellist, I can confirm that my soul went flying
Cellists: "Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power."
Plug it in and I can smoke a hundred cellos.
Learned something this morning. Thank you ! :)
my soul has left my body being a cellist
I think every string-player's soul left at the end
That ending is hilarious
Matt bell a real one
as a cellist , i am crying

This is so dope, haters are just healous

yes
As a violist I support violin superiority
No no no, this is when you play the 6th cello suite in the original key!!!
Im not a cellist, but I immediately knew he was going to play Canon in D
As someone who only plays guitar type string instruments, this looks dope and I wanna learn to play it!
Let's GOOOO!

That looks amazing to play😍😍I want one so bad now
I love chin cellos, they're so fluffy
Thank you so much for sharing this. I'm trying to rig together an electric one.
my soul already left at the sound of the C 🥲 please, twist that fine-tuner clockwise 🙏
My soul definitely did disappear-
~a traumatised cellist-
Epic... And yes please do it again in tune, i play violin and that still hurt my soul.
This is so informational. I love it!
That's awesome.
I bought my 5 string as a way to "cover" violin, viola, and cello. Would a "standard" 5 string violin with octave pedal get the same job done?
Yup.
Theoretically yes, you will have to check if the sound is ok for you! 😉
"C". I don't know about that buddy
I think the C is in tune with the other strings and it's the G that's sharp. That's what I'm hearing anyway.
Not that I’m into this sort of video, so no idea why it turned up, but that was actually interesting, and it blew my mind how powerful those low notes were coming out of that small instrument.
Ah yes, the infamous chinchilla
As a musician watching this I was like freaking out with the untuned C string 😭😂
Soooooo out of tune 😢

As a trumpet player, this reminds me of the bass trumpet; it's a trumpet, but an octave lower. The only real difference between it and a euphonium is the tibre. It obviously wasn't used much for that reason but still interesting nonetheless.
