      It's kind of amazing to be given permission to screw around. There are variables that, as a craftsman, you KNOW you are not supposed to change because the result is bad, and making bad things is wasteful and maybe even damaging to your reputation. But once you can kind of crack the shell of "what's right" and get into that "We've allocated some resources to experimentation... for science and demonstration" -- then the creativity starts to boil. It's totally awesome.

      @@rcb3921 yeah I know, I love you for saying this bc its fun, and there are so many silly social taboos about doing stuff we know is wrong like an inverted bridge, but its fun to fool around with it bc then we get creativity bc even though we know it won't work, we do it anyway and we get silly ideas that lead to o ther ideas and our creativity can grow. I didn't say that right but I know you know what I mean.

      Sreshta Loka I always ignored my shitty string crossings for the past 20 years. But in actuality it's not just hitting the notes, it's also HOW you're bowing that accounts for the sound so much. I am also going through Sevcik. Technically the double stop book is doing similar things so I'm more partial to Josephine Trott's Book of Double Stops.

    So my grandfather (born 1899) played a little bit of violin, and he always had this story about when he was young he had been to a concert in church, where a guy was playing a violin where he somehow had intwined the strands of the bow *between* the strings, so all four strings always played at the same time. My grandfather attested with great vigor "it sounded just like the church organ" and "it was amazing".
    Clearly the dude was somehow playing chord-stuff on all four strings somehow. Could you guys try something like that?

      My mother was playing in a quartet onstage during a concert. They started the piece, and as they started the cello's bridge popped out. The others kept playing and the cello player got the bridge back in and didn't miss her entrance. That's when you know you are playing with professionals. My mom (on viola) said she was having a panic on the inside as she watched her friend getting it back in.

      Course they do. The design varies a lot from guitar to guitar and brand to brand, but they absolutely do. You need the cutoff point from where the instrument is strung and where it's played, otherwise it's just going to buzz against the body. If you look at a guitar like an Epiphone Sheraton II, it's much more obvious than say, a Fender Stratocaster which has a bridge that's almost flush with the body. Instead of elevating the Strat's bridge, they string the guitar THROUGH the body. But because of the design of a lot of guitars to have the bridge flush/almost flush with the body, it can be easy to miss it if you aren't looking closely

    Hi guys! Love your channel! And probably this whole topic or the concept for this video originally started out as a joke, but you also might want to know, that this instrument (one with a flat bridge) is actually an existing legit viola type used in traditional rural folk music of Transylvania, especially in the village of Nagysajó (Șieu). Apparently one can only play chords on this instrument, but thankfully that's the whole point of it. And it even gets crazier than that, because the musicians of the mentioned village used to swap the upper two strings of the viola (D&A) with a C and G string, and they tuned those up to the corresponding pitches, thus being able to play very closely packed chords, sometimes also using their thumb to reach lower notes on the original C string.

    I love how Two Set is able to educate me musically (as a teenage-beginner at the violin, playing for 2 years) and still make me laugh. I thing THEIR Bridge to success is exactly that mixture.
    Sadly life always kicks in and I'm not able to practice as efficient as I want to, but hey, if you can practice for a short time you can practice for a long time, can't you?
