14 Year Old Fiddler - The Orange Blossom Special - The Kempters 

Sweet. What's the difference between a violin and a fiddle? A violin has strings. A fiddle has "strangs"

I'm 50 yrs old and I've heard this song played by many people. This is by far my favorite rendition.

Nice to see some just plain goodness in the world!

"WOW"!! Man... listening to you folks has brought back so many good fine memories of when I was a kid in the early 1970s. My dad was a mobile welder and mechanic and everyone knew him, all the local farmers and people from town that loved and played country music knew my dad and sometimes on Friday evenings after work, people would come over to our house and they'd bring their instruments and some kind of booze, either a case or two of beer or a bottle of whiskey and at around 6PM on those warm summer Friday evenings and the house was full they'd start drinking and talking and tuning their guitars, fiddles, banjos, even a big bass fiddle and by 7PM they'd all be feeling pretty good and someone would start picking a tune and someone else would join in and I tell you in a very short time there'd be 10 or more people playing right along and it'd get really loud but nice and clear. Most times my dad didn't bother hooking up the amplifiers and speakers, didn't need them unless they all went outside to play by the fire I had made in the backyard. Anyways, they'd play the best music all Friday night. Us kids would be having a great time eating and sneaking sips of beer and listening to them all play Hank Snow, Hank Williams, Hank Thompson, George Jones, Ned Landry, Eddy Arnold, Bob Wills, Patsy Cline, Ernest Tubb, Dave Dudley, Claude King, Leroy Van Dyke and so many more. There were so many great country music singers on the radio and my dad and his workin friends could pick up on a song and play it well and I could go on and on... Shucks, for now all I can say is: Thank You to you talented folks and I hope you all are enjoying great success and living good lives. I'm still smiling hahaa!!!

This IS a 5-looped video with the 14 year old as the 5 fiddlers. That is awesome!

What's sad is modern generation is used to 10 seconds.. This is 5 minutes. But it is 5 minutes of WONDERFUL. Family. Bonds. Lifelong Friendships and great music. I loved it :)

This REALLY made me smile, and there isn't much to smile about there in this VA Hospital bed either, especially since you cannot that family visit. Thanks for the smiles, ALL OF YOU!!! Many blessings to you all. Semper Fi. Forever Grateful To Still Be Alive, Captain T, U.S.M.C.

Love the parents who teach their children appreciation for musical instruments! These are great!

How many times can I click the Like button?!? This was great!

This has to be one of the greatest music videos ever.

I love this music and I've watched this video over and over and I am fairly sure that is one young man playing all five parts of the violinist. It almost looks like he is in front of a screen unless there are five boys that look extremely a lot alike

71 year old rock and roller says this video is awesome!

Every once in a while I watch this... Just love it. Makes me feel happy!!!

This young man has more talent in his little finger than most pop stars and rappers have in their entire bodies. Good job, buddy, and what a wonderful family.

I remember that 14 year old "kid". You could play the fiddle back then, but you can make it howl and sing now!

What a great family and such talent!! That is what what Family is all about. Thanks for sharing

This is just so brilliant, American country music at it's best. My only regret is that I can only give it a thumbs up once. Thank you, thank you for posting this gem.

Black and white is perfect for this, we need more youth brought up like this. Wonderful!

I’ve no idea how this turned up in my recommends, but I feel blessed it did, absolutely fantastic 👍

Wow! This young man has not only amazing skills but his creativity is off the Charts! Outstanding Video!

Every time I watch this I can't help but bob my head... Great fun, y'all!!!

The magic you find on YT when looking for something else!!

SOMEONE SHOULD MAKE It CLEAR that this is only one boy playing the violin, not five.Its all the same boy .

I may be a Northern Yankee Born New Englander, but I can tell you for SURE that we ALL love a good home style group of excellent fiddlin' and accompaniment ANY day in ANY part of the country!!!!

Ah, this was refreshing to see, a young man enjoying the simpler things in life while having a great time and offering the world some great fiddlin! I cried whilst watching this as it reminded me of my Granpa who used to play with Ernie Tubb and Bill Monroe. I sure miss this old stuff and am so happy to see a younger generation embracing such REAL music.

How do you know when someone has talent? When they make it look easy, and they have fun doing it.

The Kempters Quintuplets. All Called Chris. Now 21.

I'm not 100% sure what that was but I'm 100% behind it

These young people have more musical talent in one finger than most pop stars have in their entire bodies. Well done.

Now I want to tell ya', this here is genuine foot stompin', toe tappin', knee slappin' music! Somebody get me my rockin' chair!👍😊😉❤🇺🇸

Stumbled across this whilst looking for something else. So glad I did. What an impressive performance.

This is what our country needs more of, good ol Blue Grass!

Chris Kempter is such a cutie pie...the multiple’s of him very humorous. Enjoyed.

From Scotland where we consider the music of the "fiddle" as truly great, This is surly the very best. Superb, well done Greetings from Scotland.

One of best music and artwork I've seen created, and nonetheless by a 14 year old... and funny, silly too. My 6 year old loved it.

Bloody great guys from the UK.... how can you not like this........

The kid is a genius!!

Wow, I'm not sure if I am more impressed by the musical skills or the video editing skills. This is entertaining on like nine different levels.

I never get tired of this video

If I could play< ,,,,,,

Wow, talent like this is nearly unbelievable!! Musicians are the true magicians of the world.

Very VERY good! Embarrassed to say it took me a bit to figure out the five were actually the same boy. Amazing talent.

HOW MANY MORE TIMES AM I GONNA WATCH THIS? I DON'T KNOW! 😁

You got me!!!! at first I thought they were all Brothers... That was absolutely amazing very good choreography and great fiddling, no Foolin.. and don't forget last but not least the rest of the group ....great job 👍👍👍👍🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶🎻

I don’t give a dam if you don’t like this kind of music or not,that’s talent right there .

I keep watching this over and over. Love it.

The Orange Bloom Special!!! Never a better fiddle song.

Does not get better than this!!! Sweet!!! A Master peace in this Music, Got to love it!!❤❤❤🎻🎶🎶🎵🏆

Not sure what's going on here but many of the comments below pertain to a different video upload. The 14-year old fiddler performance is really entertaining - in case you didn't notice, all 5 boys are the same guy (Chris) in different clothes cleverly superimposed on the one video track. Great acting Chris - subtle but really funny. The music is expertly performed too but obviously "lip-synced" (dubbed) - the fiddling is hard to pick from live recording but the lack of cables connected to the bass guitar and keyboard is a dead give-away!

I just love this version...band has a lot of talent!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG THIS KID IS HILARIOUS!! Bad ass fiddler to boot. He needs to be an actor also. Hes absolutely hilarious. Love this video . Good job everyone.

Thank God some youth still understand, Signed CA.

Man oh man I do love to hear good fiddling. That was great!

Wow. This is an interesting lesson in balance. Of the five "competitors," they vary from very loose and goofy to extremely serious and intense. Neither extreme wins. It is the with a balance of fun and intensity who pulls off what evolves into an extremely challenging piece. Bravo!

You can't say the fiddles are boring after watching a show like this, specially when the fiddlers are so young and handsome 😉 Bravo!! 👏👏👏👏👏

This .. is REAL dedication, cleverness, hard work, originality, talent, study & love of true Musical Expression! 👍

I can't tell you how many times I have watched and enjoyed this video.!!!!!

Them folks got talent 🤗🤗🍻

Never get tired of watching and listening to these guys.

God Bless each of you🌬❤❤ thanks for keeping music real!

Don't get no better than this.

Love it! He captured how the old timey guys would play around while making excellent jams!

keep coming back, one for the amazing video and two for the comments.... they keep getting funnier. well done

are you kidding me? this video has been up since 2016 and no likes? this can not be accurate! I love it!

How did I come across this ???? No idea but WOW.......Im so glad I did :)

One Very cool family 😎👍👍👍👍👍👍 man that boy sure can slice that fiddle.😎

This kid, and his whole family, are outstanding. I love fiddle playing and Chris is awesome.

What a great way to be raised.. one-upping your sibling on a musical instrument. So many beautiful things that overlap and a never-ending memory that can continue throughout their lives. VERY Cool. Thank you!

What a outstanding Family and very talented children , this is what I would call a family all in harmony with one another in music. i'am very impressed , & all smiles from watching this video. god bless them all.

This just makes me feel good, and I get very energetic and Happy. Thanks for Posting! I've viewed this at least 32 times. And that was since two days ago. More to come Boys!

I love this!! I watch it at least once a day..I went to a Christian school for 12 years and they remind me of the traveling gospel singers that used to come...although this family is 100 times better and have a sense of humor!!! God bless this family...I was sad to learn that both the parents have since passed...

Fantastic and brilliant

Awesome talent-No doubt, about that! THANK YOU!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

It's a good thing I clicked here what wonderful talent

my morning coffee song every day. I never liked violin/fiddles until this. thank you.

Amazing!!! The are only two sons in the family. God this is great and amazing.

Pretty, pretty, pretty good! You guys are brilliant.

Now that's some good music...

Not only great music but also great showmanship!

Holy WOW! What a talent and gift. When I rode with The Ellensburg Rodeo Wranglerettes ( National Champion horse mounted drill team) we drilled to this. We were the fastest drill team at that time. Just hearing this music brought back 43 year old memories and excitement. Thank you for uploading this hilarious performance by very talented young fiddlers.

You get that shiny fiddle made of Gold

I'm not young, and I'll bet about 5 days after I die, Chris Kempter will be a breakout talent on the big screen, probably both comedy and drama (he seems like a drama queen), and not too long after that, someone will be the first to say, "He plays fiddle, too?" and then hopefully the Kempters will get the recognition the Family-Band deserves...all of which would be great, except I died 5 days ago.

This family and their music brings so much happiness!

Omg 😲 this was plain AWESOME .... 👏👏👏👏

Very IMPRESSIVE!! "Now that young man saws a pretty mean fiddle. Reminds me of Bart Trotter. I was lucky enough to see Bart Trotter play at the Texas State Championship Muzzleloader Match at Brady when I was about 8 years old, Bart was about the age of this guy. Bart Trotter won the world championships playing the fiddle quite a few years later. Last I heard he had A.L.S. I'd like to encourage all of you to look up Bart Trotter playing the Clarinett polka and hit like. I'd like to see this young Sawyer learn the Clarinet Polka. The name of this tune makes us country music fans but its pure country music and its the pennicle of playing the fiddle. Bart Trotter makes everyone else seem like they must have had one too many Long Island Ice Tea. Play the Carinet polka for us Young Sawyer.

What a wonderful talent. One of the most entertaining videos I've seen on youtube. A joy to watch and listen to. Good luck Chris.

I watch this video over and over

This kid is bad ass #1 if this was his idea for the video. Hands down bad ass!!! The music.....I just keep shaking g my head in amazement!

Such talent! Love it!

I just love this video. What creativity! The five different persona's of the young one, playing beautiful violin; in black and white, what a great touch. Bravo, my respected friends!

Love this, reminds me of Saturday afternoons when Dad would play all his country western music

I haven't seen this in awhile. Had to come back. Too bad I can't give you another thumbs up.

Best version of OBS I've ever heard and watched. Very talented Boys.

Straight up badass talented fiddlin' right there. Bravo all!

At least we know we wont be running out of musicians anytime soon, this is great !

this made me cry- when I was a little girl my dad always used to play this for me

LOVE the Theatrics ! My grin becomes bigger every time I watch, Hope your does too ?

That was outstanding....

MAY THE BEST MAN WIN! I JUST LOVE ALL OF YOU, GREAT FUN AND THIS VIDEO MAKES MY DAY! I SMILE UNTIL IT HURTS MY FACE! THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!

I watch this video at least once every two days. Brilliant talent.
