    It's going hard is the short answer. There are lots of grades of horse hair used to make bows, each has a unique sound so the ease of fraying has a lot to do with the sound you are trying to get as well a just playing hard. their cover of thunderstruck is pretty epic.

    As a cellist, I can tell you that what the are playing is so technically insane it raise it 100 levels. They go through several bows a show because they play so hard and close to the bridge in order to get the guitar sound. Check out their very first video "Welcome to the Jungle," "Despacito," and "Thunderstruck" if you want your mind blown!

    The frayed bowstring happens gradually when anyone plays with strings, but they play really aggressively and end up breaking the fine hair (usually horsehair I believe) as they go. While I haven’t seen them live (though I was supposed to a couple years ago), I would assume that they have to get a new bowstring every 1-2 songs.

    • @DeeDee80
      @DeeDee80 4 роки тому +6

      Saw them live and they are insane. They did not get a new bowstring every 2 songs, but they still changed them quite often. They just shred them. I saw them with a full live orchestra and their drummer that is also unreal. One example here: ua-cam.com/video/nji5zvkuuFg/v-deo.html.

    When you thrash that hard with the bows, the horsehair that they are strung with tend to break. I imagine they have to switch to new bows a few times during a concert. Ending up with the frayed bows is sort of one of their signatures though.

    2Cellos are a real rabbit hole to dive into. They have covered songs by Michael Jackson, AC/DC, Sting, U2, Queen, Paul McCartney, Nirvana, Johnny Cash and many others. They also recorded one whole album with soundtracks only.
    I'd recommend also watching their earlier videos which lack in technical backup but are full of ingenuity, wit and humor. F.e. their cover of Johnny Cash's "Hurt" or Mombasa from the movie Inception.

    These guys are grandmaster cello players (like Kevin from Pentatonix, by the way, who created his own technique called cello-boxing which is a mix of beatboxing while playing cello). They went from acoustic to electric cellos in this. Watching these guys in concert is like watching a rock band play. You definitely need to listen to Purple Haze (Yes THAT Purple Haze!) and Thunderstruck. They've got Guns n Roses covers. They toured with Elton John for a while before going on their own. The start of their popularity was when they uploaded them playing Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal.

    Horse hair between two clips under tension is how cello bows are made. Over time and use, it's normal for an occasional bow hair to come out of the clip. However, the physical intensity that these guys are using destroys the bow hair fast. My daughter plays cello. Cellists pretty uniformly react first to the music and then comment "those poor bows!"
