Just a small detail - Overblowing allows you to access the whole harmonic series on woodwind, so it's not just octaves! (Although the higher you get, the harder it gets, of course!) This is how the altissimo register on saxophone works, for example
@@philcooper7291 if you Google harmonic series you will see the actual tones that are produced with open valves. They are all there and they are constant. And the same rule speaks for every combination on each valve. It's amazing 😊
Thank you for mentioning the harmonics 😁. As a flute player, I use them as a nice trick to make some songs easier in terms of fingerings, especially in difficult, speedy pieces, and in many other ways. 😀🎚🎧 🎵🎶 Love you TwoSet! 😍
5:40 "How's she changing the pitch?" Uhh... how's she even generating the sound. If you just blow into a pipe all you get is a whooshing sound. She's making the sound of a brass instrument, which requires blowing a "raspberry" angasint a mouthpiece - no reed.
The way the sound is being created on this one actually is the ridged shape of the tube she's blowing into. Those tunes create sound when air passes through them because of their shape. You can change the pitch by changing the air speed, allowing you to play the harmonic series. I learned about this when I was six. My mom used to have a straw that would make sound the same way.
She could've been humming. Harmonic series anyone? If you hum into a pipe it acts like natural autotune, and actually kinda sounds like an instrument... Kinda. It sounded too good on the video though. Edit: just realized someone else mentioned the harmonic series.
Exactly! Street musicians have been playing plastic tub bottoms for decades, and there was a huge Broadway hit based on that ("Bring in da' Noise..."). The Internet is a source of everthing, and yet knows nothing.
yeah, and the tape is supposed to be a drumhead, but it's not streched enough to make any sound, it's like if you're trying to make a sound by punching your music sheet
The carrot thing actually works. But not like these 5 minute dafts did it. You can't just drill 3 holes in a carrot and expect it to work. The holes need to be of different sizes. That's the actual key to making a flute. The positioning, order, none of it matters. The size of individual holes and their ratio to each other are what determines the notes. Sarah Jeffrey has a great video of making a recorder at a real recorder manufacturer with a carrot
you guys should make a video where you rebuild some "instruments" from 5 minute crafts! reminds me of Ann from How To Cook That who tried to make things 5 minute crafts and nothing worked out, she even pointed out that many things they show in their videos are really dangerous, esp. for children!
They did the carrot flute and were able to actually get some sound out of them. But the sound in the 5 minute crafts video was clearly a wooden instrument, not a carrot.
Are we gonna talk about the fact that the carrot flute audio at 7:13 is literally from the video Twoset used when they made their carrot flutes? Like Five minute crafts couldn’t even be bothered to record their own audio😂

I have some experience in audio engineering. If you listen to the drum bowl clip starting around 8:04, at around 8:10 you'll notice a sudden blip of silence between drum beats. This happens because they didn't even bother adding any fades between different clips of the fake audio. Essentially, they spliced together two different clips of the same drum beat and didn't even bother to edit them together. That is something that can take as little as like one or two seconds, especially with how much empty space there is between these drum beats. Just an interesting tidbit for the curious and one more of many strikes against five minute crafts!
you can also notice that the pipe lady takes a breath, goes to blow into the tube, and then the sound comes out right as her mouth is still open and going onto the tube.
3:15 This piano sound is actually a free sample library called Labs - Soft Piano. Notice that C on 3:18 is in a lower octave than this one 3:20. Same note, Different Octave. 5-Minute Crafts didn't even bother about making it look realistic lol.
That's exactly what I was about to write. There are many keys that suddenly get pitch-shifted by an octave in the middle of the video for no reason. Nice catch
And also its very obvious that the piano one is fake. The keys would probably have some sort of shadow texture when it detects a press but when you look in this clip, nothing.
Realistically speaking, when I did accordion competition, I practiced about 8-10 hours per day on two or three pieces for that many categories and it paid off. My accordion teacher said that "only perfect practice makes perfect"👍
Kids do use them e.g. for science olympiad instrument building (including use of chopstics as sound elements rather than holder) but it definitely takes much more that five minutes for something not completely pathetic.
Chopsticks make excellent supports for house plants. With a bit of wire you can build a whole trellis, though a good one would take more than 5 minutes.
The tape on the bucket thing is legit, this is just a very sloppy version. Taiko students who want to practice at home but don't have a mute pad or even their own taiko will take one of those big plastic trash bins, cut the bottom off then firmly tape the bottom, not the top. You're going to need the whole roll of packing tape, then duct tape around the circumference. By doing this, the trash bin helps to simulate the height of a taiko so a student can practice both their posture and movements without too much noise.
@@franciscopetrucci The straw pan flute would work. It doesn't sound nearly as good as they make it out to be in the video. But it works well enough that you could use it to teach kids about the science of sound.

The homemade "kalimba" might actually be interesting if the wooden part were hollow so it resonates, and if it had an audio out. they apparently dubbed a real kalimba sound over that thing which I can only imagine making buzzy clicky noises in the form shown. One would probably have better luck with extended paper clips, I've seen homemade kalimbas that make sense before. Those silly crafts seem most appropriate for eccentric audio engineers who like to stick piezoelectric pickup discs on random objects and sample them for granular or other audio processing.
I will say the glovepipe does work but of course 5 minute crafts play some song with multiple pitches when the glovepipe plays one very wobbly note with the possibility to make it slightly sharp by pinching the straws.(If you want a cheap bagpipe look up DIY membrane pipes, it works I’ve made it)
The glove one is actually how bagpipes work. I call bs that she knows how to make that sound, but if they took the time to do more on that idea of the bagpipes it has potential
can confirm: that actually works -- we made bagpipes out of gloves once at a summer camp i used to go to for a game. however, it was quite a struggle... not all of us managed to get them to work (or managed only after an hour or so of trying), they produced mostly only one single note (changing pitch did work, but not well) and it was waaay more annoying and ear-piercing than what 5-minute crafts showed. i swear, the sounds that were resounding in the main hall that night? that cacophony of about 20 home-made bagpipes? simultaneously the best and the worst thing i ever experienced in that decade that i was part of that camp. needless to say, we had a blast edit: i messaged my best friend about that night and she says that sound will forever haunt her memories
as a percussionist, i can affirm that the tape "snare" won't make any sound, and there's already so much music made with non-classical instrument like punching your body so why do you need a diy percussion? and the little bowl... the drumhead isn't streched enough to make any derbouka's sound
the tape and bucket one is by far the most sensible one. i can picture tha happening, and since tape has tha crinkly sound, i see the logic in that, and it would prolly work if made, but the sensible thing to do would be to tilt the bucket over or bang a table
ya'll are talking about how the weird pipe thing is changing pitch but how is it even making any sort of sound in the first place it's just a really long pipe!
I feel like the only way these would ever be used is if someone’s kid was told to make a musical instrument as a school project. Which did happen to me back in the day. It was slightly annoying seeing some kids bring in stuff obviously made by their parents lol
that's what I was going to say. At school i had to do a loooooooooot of stup*d projects related to instruments made it with recycable materials, so these types of videos were my only salvation. Beside of that, those videos has no functions at all.
I had to make a musical instrument for art class in high school. Made a kazoo out of ice cream sticks. Took five minutes but at least mine actually works and makes a coherent rubber chicken sound 😂
I used to play the panflute (southamerican, dont tease me :C) and they are literally just long tubes closed on one end. they work the same way an empty bottle works when you blow into it. THESE PEOPLE JUST CUT THE STRAW ON ONE END AND CALLED IT A DAY like how do they thing a straw will make a sound when you just blow in it! this is sacrilegious to the max. I mean, with classical music there are some things that us laymen can't understand and it's ok I guess... but they made the easiest thing to emulate in the world sacrilegious! that's some special skills right there!
I like to play on drink straws (McDonald's ones work really well). You have to close the bottom end to make it work though. I fold the bottom over one finger so it's closed and I have a good grip. Then I pinch the straw with two fingers of my other hand so I can change the pitch. I usually just slide up so it sounds like a slide whistle. Of course, this only works on plastic straws, not paper ones.
@@elissahunt exactly what im saying. U have to close the bottom, either to produce a small opening for it to vibrate or all closed up to make the air return and make the tube vibrate that way. But all opened up on the end does nothing. It was so easy to fix :c
The panflute is an underrated instrument, I think that's rad. I also didn't know the bottom has to be closed, though it makes sense since I've blown across the tops of unbroken glass bottles and produced sound.
@@wakingtheworld Of course... It is so obvious what instrument Nicolás Lacamprette used to play and everyone already knows how the panflute works. No extra insight at all. Right?
"Chopstick is for eating, not to make instruments" I was in my room and... My mom: can you tell ur siblings to stop playing with the chopstick's, we need it to eat!
The copper wire piano is so cap. For it to actually work, you would need to somehow circulate the wires where the electricity to travel from the battery to the destination. You can't just hook up some wires loosely and expect to have made a robot, you need the wires to actually connect to something so that they can actually function properly.
I mean, it's probably faked, but the principle (using the wire to activate a touch screen at specific points) is sound. You can actually use a decently conductive wire as a stylus for most phone touchscreens for that reason.
5:56 At least on flute, that's only true for the low octave. You can get the first four or five notes of the harmonic series pretty easily using one fingering if you start low enough
take D note as an example, if you only use the lowest note fingering, you can have D4, D5, A5, D6, F#6, A6 (at least that's what I can play for now) the problem with the video is it uppers a 2nd, which you cannot do that in any woodwinds. Edit: I'm a flute player so this only reference to a flute
Depending on the shape of the bore and whether one end is stopped will determine what note will overblow. For a flute, an open cylindrical bore it's an octave. For a clarinet, a closed cylindrical bore it's a 12th, for a saxophone a closed conical bore it's an octave, as are all brass instruments. Stopped means the mouthpiece is sealed by the embouchure. Edit: and of course I am only talking the 1st harmonic here. The stopped cylinders only blow every even harmonic whereas the others blow both odd and even.
Two things. First, I can guarantee the pipe contraption sounded like blowing air, I've played with too much pvc pipe to think otherwise. Second, if you really want to have a cute, fun, thrown together drum use a balloon instead of tape. In fact, balloons and rubber bands are both fun to use, and you can tune the rubber bands by varying the length. That is all, goodbye.
@@katiekawaii rubber bands make different pitches depending on how tightly they're stretched. When I was little I would stretch them around knobs on our furniture and pluck them. It wouldn't make a very high quality instrument, but you could make something tunable.
0:36 I loved the "Uncle Roger" accent! I've seen the disposable glove "bagpipes" before. I would expect them to be ridiculously high pitched if any one were able to get a sound out of it.
I've only done this on saxophone so I don't know about other woodwinds, but you can change which overtone is heard by changing the shape of your throat and mouth. This allows you to use the same fingering to make any frequency that is an integer multiple of the base pitch. The first overtone is double the frequency, or an octave above. The next is triple the frequency, a fifth above the octave. Next is 4 times or two octaves. Et cetera.
The iPhone piano one in theory might work except for the copper isn't touching the actual screen where the keys are, just attached to the paper. Also the fact that the bare copper wires are touching along the top of the cardboard keyboard would confuse the iPhone, they should be insulated except where the person touches and where the wires touch the screen.
As a latina, wish TwoSet would learn spanish and review Les Luthiers to see the sacrilegious instruments featured and get a laugh with their legendary antics at least Grosso Concerto a la Rustica (RIP Neneco and Marquito). Although, It's been three years and I'm still asking them to watch Nodame in its entirety so.... no hope there.
I think learning Spanish for that is a bit much to ask of them, that requires a substantial amount of time and effort for some potentially fairly limited usage lol IT would be HEEEECKA cool if they learned Spanish though
Don't give 5 min crafts more exposure. They are already big and only produce the same skit over and over again. (sorry for using the sk-t word) It would be nice to hear Brett and Eddy play though.
5:02 ok this technically works my auntie is a musician who takes music into indigenous communities and for drums they often use tape and old worn out tires and if done correctly the sound can be quite full and resonating like you would expect a real drum to be
The carrot one is insane!! I recently rewatched the video where you guys make the carrot flutes and I think 5 minute crafts took the audio from the tutorial you guys watched in that video! That sounded like the video you guys watched. Maybe you guys should check that out
The copper wire piano wouldn’t work for several reasons: 1. The paper is in the way, it couldn’t touch the phone 2. The copper wire overlaps eachother 3. They touch the hot glue several times, u don’t need to be smart to know that the wire wouldn’t work if ur hands aren’t even touching the wore 4. There is literally no way the phone could discern whether your finger touches the wire or not, it would play if the wire contacted the keys on the phone at all
The phone piano one and the carrot one actually seem probable, although the carrot's sound probably wouldn't be as good as shown, and the piano one would probably be a little unreliable and difficult to use. The other ones though, especially the weird tuba/french horn wannabe, are truly sacrilegious. Also I believe the carrot's holes need to be different sizes to properly work.
They stole the carrot's sound from the tutorial that Brett and Eddy used to make their own carrot instruments. So unless that tutorial also faked the sound of the carrot instrument, the sound can be that good.
aside from them using obviously fake sounds, the bobbypin one and the straw pan flute are actually good crafts for kids. they're cheap, quick, and easy to do and have semi-decent results
I play trumpet and clarinet. You NEED a certain mouthpiece for brass AND wind. But how do you change the pitch by just blowing with no brass mouthpiece OR wind mouthpiece? YOU DON’T. There you go, kids. 🤣
TwoSet : 5 MINUTES CRAFT ONLY PRACTICES FOR 5 MINUTES!!!! Ling Lings who practice 5 minutes every 3 minutes : 👁👄👁 (Math : 40/24 hours =1.666… mins =1 + (6/9) mins Ling Lings practicing for 5 minutes = 5 minutes divide (1+6/9) =3 minutes Therefore, if Ling Lings practice 40 hours everyday, then they practice 5 minutes every 3 minutes. 4:02 Wow that’s so interesting! _This is definitely not fake and everyone who watches this knows that when you blow on straws there will definitely be sounds coming out of it and definitely won’t make a boring normal wind blowing sound!_
i love you guys, your videos lift me up always when i am down, help me relax and get through difficult days. you are wonderful persons and passionate about classical music and skilled in your instruments, yet so modest and down to earth. like a ray of sunshine! keep up the good work, i wish you only the best :)

or simmered because this is a sImMeRiNg ChAnNeL
0:48 They're trying to imitate my instrument, the kalimba but terribly fails 😭
I will say the glovepipe does work but of course 5 minute crafts play some song with multiple pitches when the glovepipe plays one very wobbly note with the possibility to make it slightly sharp by pinching the straws.(If you want a cheap bagpipe look up DIY membrane pipes, it works I’ve made it)
The glove one is actually how bagpipes work. I call bs that she knows how to make that sound, but if they took the time to do more on that idea of the bagpipes it has potential
can confirm: that actually works -- we made bagpipes out of gloves once at a summer camp i used to go to for a game. however, it was quite a struggle... not all of us managed to get them to work (or managed only after an hour or so of trying), they produced mostly only one single note (changing pitch did work, but not well) and it was waaay more annoying and ear-piercing than what 5-minute crafts showed. i swear, the sounds that were resounding in the main hall that night? that cacophony of about 20 home-made bagpipes? simultaneously the best and the worst thing i ever experienced in that decade that i was part of that camp. needless to say, we had a blast
edit: i messaged my best friend about that night and she says that sound will forever haunt her memories
Most of things in 5min craft is vaguely based on "how xxxx work". But then they try to take shortcuts and have to fake real results.
We "played" on "bagpipes" made of rubber balloon and canes as children, they were the sound of Christmas holidays.
Eddy never misses the chance of flexing his perfect pitch.
He's not flexing... he's just responding to what he is hearing. The same as if you say that something is red.
as a percussionist, i can affirm that the tape "snare" won't make any sound, and there's already so much music made with non-classical instrument like punching your body so why do you need a diy percussion? and the little bowl... the drumhead isn't streched enough to make any derbouka's sound
the tape and bucket one is by far the most sensible one. i can picture tha happening, and since tape has tha crinkly sound, i see the logic in that, and it would prolly work if made, but the sensible thing to do would be to tilt the bucket over or bang a table
ya'll are talking about how the weird pipe thing is changing pitch but how is it even making any sort of sound in the first place it's just a really long pipe!
I feel like the only way these would ever be used is if someone’s kid was told to make a musical instrument as a school project. Which did happen to me back in the day. It was slightly annoying seeing some kids bring in stuff obviously made by their parents lol
What did they bring?
that's what I was going to say. At school i had to do a loooooooooot of stup*d projects related to instruments made it with recycable materials, so these types of videos were my only salvation. Beside of that, those videos has no functions at all.
I had to make a musical instrument for art class in high school. Made a kazoo out of ice cream sticks. Took five minutes but at least mine actually works and makes a coherent rubber chicken sound 😂
I used to play the panflute (southamerican, dont tease me :C) and they are literally just long tubes closed on one end. they work the same way an empty bottle works when you blow into it. THESE PEOPLE JUST CUT THE STRAW ON ONE END AND CALLED IT A DAY like how do they thing a straw will make a sound when you just blow in it! this is sacrilegious to the max. I mean, with classical music there are some things that us laymen can't understand and it's ok I guess... but they made the easiest thing to emulate in the world sacrilegious! that's some special skills right there!
I like to play on drink straws (McDonald's ones work really well). You have to close the bottom end to make it work though. I fold the bottom over one finger so it's closed and I have a good grip. Then I pinch the straw with two fingers of my other hand so I can change the pitch. I usually just slide up so it sounds like a slide whistle. Of course, this only works on plastic straws, not paper ones.
@@elissahunt exactly what im saying. U have to close the bottom, either to produce a small opening for it to vibrate or all closed up to make the air return and make the tube vibrate that way. But all opened up on the end does nothing. It was so easy to fix :c
The panflute is an underrated instrument, I think that's rad. I also didn't know the bottom has to be closed, though it makes sense since I've blown across the tops of unbroken glass bottles and produced sound.
Of course. Thanks for pointing out the obvious!
@@wakingtheworld Of course... It is so obvious what instrument Nicolás Lacamprette used to play and everyone already knows how the panflute works. No extra insight at all. Right?
I love how they're picking out brass and woodwind faking now too, truly the music detectives
Might be the first time that I heard to set violin talk about embouchure and brass besides when they were roasting baritones
3:51 i remember making it in science extracurricular and it's work, with skilled cutting and stuff of course
I never noticed that the both of them dyed their hair! Eddy's is more obvious but I just noticed Brett's! Looks really good
Fake hair in a fakeness video…. cleverrr!
In school we wrapped elastic bands around an empty ice cream tub and played it like a guitar. Still more sophisticated than anything in this video!
"Chopstick is for eating, not to make instruments"
I was in my room and...
My mom: can you tell ur siblings to stop playing with the chopstick's, we need it to eat!
8:49 acutally there is an italian youtuber that made that strument and it acutally works
I'll link the video
The copper wire piano is so cap. For it to actually work, you would need to somehow circulate the wires where the electricity to travel from the battery to the destination. You can't just hook up some wires loosely and expect to have made a robot, you need the wires to actually connect to something so that they can actually function properly.
I mean, it's probably faked, but the principle (using the wire to activate a touch screen at specific points) is sound. You can actually use a decently conductive wire as a stylus for most phone touchscreens for that reason.
@Rabbles the Binx Productions. big brain
5:56 At least on flute, that's only true for the low octave. You can get the first four or five notes of the harmonic series pretty easily using one fingering if you start low enough
take D note as an example, if you only use the lowest note fingering, you can have D4, D5, A5, D6, F#6, A6 (at least that's what I can play for now)
the problem with the video is it uppers a 2nd, which you cannot do that in any woodwinds.
Edit: I'm a flute player so this only reference to a flute
Depending on the shape of the bore and whether one end is stopped will determine what note will overblow. For a flute, an open cylindrical bore it's an octave. For a clarinet, a closed cylindrical bore it's a 12th, for a saxophone a closed conical bore it's an octave, as are all brass instruments. Stopped means the mouthpiece is sealed by the embouchure.
Edit: and of course I am only talking the 1st harmonic here. The stopped cylinders only blow every even harmonic whereas the others blow both odd and even.
Yeah. “Overblowing” is done in partials. Like clarinet, low register squeaks are jumping I think a 12th.
Me, a woodwind player: "How is she changing the pitch?"
Eddy not even 2 seconds later: "How is she changing the pitch?"
Me: "My exact point!"
It's such a great joy to see you guys at Friday night when quarantining at home for over 1 week. Thanks for bring us so many happiness!
5:00
The bottom of the bucket: *sad noises*
Eddie's Chinese-mother-voice is phenomenal. I laugh every time
Two things. First, I can guarantee the pipe contraption sounded like blowing air, I've played with too much pvc pipe to think otherwise.
Second, if you really want to have a cute, fun, thrown together drum use a balloon instead of tape. In fact, balloons and rubber bands are both fun to use, and you can tune the rubber bands by varying the length.
That is all, goodbye.
What do you mean about the rubber bands? How would that work?
@@katiekawaii rubber bands make different pitches depending on how tightly they're stretched. When I was little I would stretch them around knobs on our furniture and pluck them. It wouldn't make a very high quality instrument, but you could make something tunable.
7:50 subtitles:
"I love 5 minute crap"
LMAO
It's the same thing, isn't it?
@@atthallarayhann9941 omg, ur right
Even the subtitles understood the assignment
0:36 I loved the "Uncle Roger" accent!
I've seen the disposable glove "bagpipes" before. I would expect them to be ridiculously high pitched if any one were able to get a sound out of it.
3:05 WAIT WAIT WAIT plastic is insulator. hot glue is hot plastic. somehow it conducted. what
Nahh they just have godly powers to do whatever they want
I've only done this on saxophone so I don't know about other woodwinds, but you can change which overtone is heard by changing the shape of your throat and mouth. This allows you to use the same fingering to make any frequency that is an integer multiple of the base pitch. The first overtone is double the frequency, or an octave above. The next is triple the frequency, a fifth above the octave. Next is 4 times or two octaves. Et cetera.
"Other woodwinds"
Oh TIL the saxophone - that brass coloured instrument that looks like its made of brass - is classed as a woodwind instrument 🤔
You guys are absolutely hilarious. Love how you're just so quick off the hip with reality
8:29 thank you editor san for making my day so much better :D
!! no brett and eddy are harmed in this video !!
"what instrument do you play"
"the cow"
4:42 I literally made that in primary school not that world braking (also it's really difficult to get any kind of sound out of it)
The iPhone piano one in theory might work except for the copper isn't touching the actual screen where the keys are, just attached to the paper. Also the fact that the bare copper wires are touching along the top of the cardboard keyboard would confuse the iPhone, they should be insulated except where the person touches and where the wires touch the screen.
0:56 looks like they were trying to do a sad attempt at making a Kalimba
As a latina, wish TwoSet would learn spanish and review Les Luthiers to see the sacrilegious instruments featured and get a laugh with their legendary antics at least Grosso Concerto a la Rustica (RIP Neneco and Marquito).
Although, It's been three years and I'm still asking them to watch Nodame in its entirety so.... no hope there.
I think learning Spanish for that is a bit much to ask of them, that requires a substantial amount of time and effort for some potentially fairly limited usage lol
IT would be HEEEECKA cool if they learned Spanish though
@@11thShadowDragon LOL I know. I was joking.
For the carrot flute, a channel not going to tell you which one,the made that and it worked but not well on camera.
9:16 It's meant to be bagpipes. And it is so fake. LIke there is only 2 drones WITHOUT A DRONE SOUND! Bagpipes sound nothing like that.
Twoset why don’t you have a musical “battle” with 5 Minute crafts with you using your instruments and 5 minute crafts use their “instruments”.
Don't give 5 min crafts more exposure. They are already big and only produce the same skit over and over again. (sorry for using the sk-t word)
It would be nice to hear Brett and Eddy play though.
The crafts were sacrilegious but Brett and Eddy’s new hairdo looks super foine ✨
5:02 ok this technically works
my auntie is a musician who takes music into indigenous communities and for drums they often use tape and old worn out tires and if done correctly the sound can be quite full and resonating like you would expect a real drum to be
But… couldn’t you just flip the bucket over and use the bottom as the drum?
@@kohwenxu yes you could
however if you were to do this a tire would work better because the tire has a natural spring unlike the bucket
If you can build slowly you can build quickly.
Time to build a house by the chinese way😂
5-Minute Crafts is a content farm. The less attention they get, the better.
The carrot one is insane!! I recently rewatched the video where you guys make the carrot flutes and I think 5 minute crafts took the audio from the tutorial you guys watched in that video! That sounded like the video you guys watched. Maybe you guys should check that out
Eddy: * Pushes up glasses and roles up sleeves * "Okay... Listen."
* Musician mode activated *
This is one of the best videos on this channel
5 minute craft is the most sacrilegious thing in the world
Brett's hair 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️✨✨✨✨
Hey
@@walnut8197 heyyy we meet again ✨
@@hpottergirl317 yeah
Who do you like more brett or eddy
Cause i can’t choose
Five minute craft in the medical stage it just makes it worse the injuries
My favourite genre of videos is videos calling out 5 minute craft videos as fake
3:25 This thing actually worked, after really hard work worked
8:08 there are sounds of the person hiting the drum thing but the person didn’t hit it on time......
Their "Music Detectives react to fake sh*t" videos are my favourite ones 😄
I will be using the bowl and plastic thing to cover food and put into the fridge
The copper wire piano wouldn’t work for several reasons:
1. The paper is in the way, it couldn’t touch the phone
2. The copper wire overlaps eachother
3. They touch the hot glue several times, u don’t need to be smart to know that the wire wouldn’t work if ur hands aren’t even touching the wore
4. There is literally no way the phone could discern whether your finger touches the wire or not, it would play if the wire contacted the keys on the phone at all
They should perhaps make a video of them making some of those and show the viewers how fake the “instrument” actually are
The phone piano one and the carrot one actually seem probable, although the carrot's sound probably wouldn't be as good as shown, and the piano one would probably be a little unreliable and difficult to use. The other ones though, especially the weird tuba/french horn wannabe, are truly sacrilegious.
Also I believe the carrot's holes need to be different sizes to properly work.
They stole the carrot's sound from the tutorial that Brett and Eddy used to make their own carrot instruments. So unless that tutorial also faked the sound of the carrot instrument, the sound can be that good.
aside from them using obviously fake sounds, the bobbypin one and the straw pan flute are actually good crafts for kids. they're cheap, quick, and easy to do and have semi-decent results
I play trumpet and clarinet. You NEED a certain mouthpiece for brass AND wind. But how do you change the pitch by just blowing with no brass mouthpiece OR wind mouthpiece? YOU DON’T. There you go, kids. 🤣
As an ocarinist, I can confirm the fake carrot ocarina playing is very sacriligeous.
TwoSet : 5 MINUTES CRAFT ONLY PRACTICES FOR 5 MINUTES!!!!
Ling Lings who practice 5 minutes every 3 minutes : 👁👄👁
(Math :
40/24 hours
=1.666… mins
=1 + (6/9) mins
Ling Lings practicing for 5 minutes
= 5 minutes divide (1+6/9)
=3 minutes
Therefore, if Ling Lings practice 40 hours everyday, then they practice 5 minutes every 3 minutes.
4:02 Wow that’s so interesting! _This is definitely not fake and everyone who watches this knows that when you blow on straws there will definitely be sounds coming out of it and definitely won’t make a boring normal wind blowing sound!_
Eddy flexing his perfect pitch🤣 4:26

i love you guys, your videos lift me up always when i am down, help me relax and get through difficult days. you are wonderful persons and passionate about classical music and skilled in your instruments, yet so modest and down to earth. like a ray of sunshine! keep up the good work, i wish you only the best :)
