Guessing How Long You've Played Your Instrument 

Claire is my daughter. She is so excited to be part of this. She practices for hours and hours every single day. Thank you for including her and for reacting so positively to her performance. She says this is the best day of her life!

"You have to practice. There are no shortcuts in life." Wise words indeed.

What a joy! Thanks for playing my video, guys!! It is at 4:15 I gotta tell you, I admire you both, a lot! I'm a big fan. And also... begun playing violin a few months ago, but I can't share any of that, lol! 😂 Big hugs!! Thanks again.

TwoSet: “If you want to be like us, you need to practice 40 hours a day!” Fans: *challenge accepted*

Hey Brett and Eddy,I’m the ocarina player at 10:23 and thank you for reviewing my playing, so thrilled to see this reaction video! I have learnt many instruments growing up（like piano, ocarina etc.), but due to the pressure from the school work, I hadn’t practiced them for the past few years. Now I’m in uni, after so many years, I finally have time and it is you guys who gave my the motivation and the courage pick them up, most importantly, you made me really started to enjoy classic music which used to be inscrutable and dull to me as a kid.❤ And BYW, it is true that until today ,I still get recognized as a high student very often although I’m already a uni student, I know my appearance makes me look like a underage.😂

Thanks for viewing my video guys!!! (Btw I’m 20, not 17 but the young age makes me look more like a prodigy :)

As an Asian, Eddy’s “she’s Asian you can’t tell! She could be 16 or 36 “ is so relatable!🤣 Ppl other than Asian can never guess my age correctly lol Edit : ohhh I forgot it’s Brett’s Birthday! Happy Birthday from Taiwan🎉 You guys are just as talented as these people!

hi brett and eddy!!! i attended my first ever classical music concert today (bruch vc and mahler 5 with chloe chua and sso!!) and i'd just like to thank you guys for inciting my love for classical music!

Have to say, you created this community, so what did you expect? People love a good challenge, and a good prank. Thank you for connecting us. It is the most talented community out there, from all over the world.

Fun fact: in German we have a term for violists who never played the violin before and started on the viola immediately. We call them "Edelbratscher" ("noble violists"). They are known to be preferred when it comes to getting contracts for world-class orchestras, so the assumption that violists who played the violin before are better in any way is less than true, even if intended as just a joke.

Man double bass sounds so hauntingly beautiful and this guy nailed it with that piece. I would listen to that on repeat.

That violinist/violinist couple had a beautiful sound chemistry! Very smooth and really delicate.

I wish I could have sent in a video of myself from 1976 ( family did not have money for video camera) when I was 14. I composed a piece for piano and submitted the written composition along with a cassette tape of myself playing the piece for a piano composition contest. I received first place prize and two judges likened my style to Rachmaninoff. Very difficult solo piano piece. This was after playing piano for only 6 months. I recently retired as a director of a school of music and a teacher of classical piano for over 40 years.

5:37 her casually rickrolling everyone

I love how this turned from a fun game to an existential crisis

The lady with 28 days. I’m in an adult violin student group. Adults tend to learn faster then children, but we also plateau faster being self taught so it benefits us to find a teacher to help keep progressing. 😊

Happy Birthday Brett! Congrats on 4 mil! Absolutely loved the TwoSet vs Davie event! Also for Brett: Nyappy Birthday 🥰🥰❤

Happy Birthday Brett! Missed these type of fun content with music and I'm glad to see you guys reminding us to practice. I stopped playing for 10 years but watching you guys and the community makes me pick piano up again. Now I practice everyday and is improving bit by bit. So yes, for all of you who want to play an instrument it never too late to start and thank you Brett and Eddy for remind me of my love for playing an instrument again. Happy day and much health to twoset and twosetters :3

6:35 Brett's hand 'playing' the piano with the correct rhythm is oddly satisfying to watch

Yay! Fooled ya! I am at 2 months now with the violin and am keeping um with practicing every single day so far. Also, I’ve played the piano for 20 years and been singing opera for 14, so I’m not a noob to music, just to the violin.

Finally an "ordinary" TwoSet video again! Much as I enjoyed the great performances lately, for me, these kind of videos are the heart of TwoSet Violin!

I’m not a musician but I love listening to classical music. Because of this channel, I want to try learning classical instruments so I can relate to them , and also to play my favorite baroque pieces hehe🥹. Btw, fell in love with this duo on 2018 ❤

Thanks for viewing my video! I was the flute player. You guys gave me a real confidence boost 😉 And happy birthday Brett🎉

Always makes my days better. You guys are my inspiration for writing music, as well as practicing everyday

Because of you guys, i started to play my violin again. I have learned it with 5 and i played it for 15 years. I was about 20 years old, when i stopped to play. I studied Informatics, and became a doctor. For about 2 years i started again. I didn't play for 30! years. Now i am 52 and for one year i started again. I love it so much and i hope there comes the time, where i am so good on the violin, as i was wirh 20. Thank you guys!

🎉Happy birthday Brett🎉🎂Hope you enjoyed😊 Thank you guys for making me practice 🎻😊

Thanks for putting me in the video!!! 11:18

hey guys im alyssa the singer at 4:58 the piece is widmung by schumann and i was eleven when this was recorded :)) thanks for including my video !!

Not related but must say, as someone who isn't an English native speaker, australian accent is very hard to understand, but I'm so addicted to these two that I've reached a point I don't need subtitles anymore. Conclusion: other than pushing me to practice music you guys by accident improved my listening skills, thank you 🤣

YOOO SECOND IT FEELS ILLEGAL TO BE THIS EARLY That thumbnail is , SaCrALiJiOs1👏🏼✨

If you can destroy your self-esteem slowly, you can destroy your self-esteem quickly. Also, Happy Birthday, Brett!

Just bought my first violin 3 weeks ago, and man, the skill floor is really high! But the instrument itself is just so wonderful. Thank you for inspiring me to practice every day! Now, GO PRACTICE!

Officially March 3rd in this side of the world. Happy birthday, Brett 🧋🥳 May lingling bless you 🎻✨

You know it’s gonna be a good day when TwoSet posts a video. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRETT!!! I hope you’re proud of how far you’ve come and what an inspiration you and Eddy have been to aspiring musicians like me!

Speaking as a guitarist of a handful of years, just cuz there's frets does not make it easy lol. Sweep picking that clean and clear is NOT easy! That was exceptional playing there.

Again, my submission is not selected, but just looking at all the LingLing's they've selected, I'm kinda glad that they didn't pick mine😂 But it's all good, I'm only two years into violin because of Twoset, I still sound bad, but I practiced a lot and I enjoyed the process, that's all what I need!! And I gotta say, I miss videos like this from you guys so much!! 😭😭😭 I look forward to your world tour but I also hope you guys can continue to make new videos... sorry I'm being greedy here. Take care!! Also have a splendid birthday, Brett!! Looking forward to the miracles that only 31-year-old Brett can create!!

A little poem for the Birthday Maid: Dear Brett What an eventful year it has been You and Eddy, Twoset for the win! You've transformed into Maid Brett for (Eddy's) all our joy To witness you dance, oh boy, oh boy And early summer came You guys brought a project to fame Beautiful pieces: prelude, scherzo, adagio, rhapsody All wrapped up in a beautiful, stunning movie You made us dream of distant lands and broad hallways You brought us back to ourselves in the end, like always Then the debut of B2TSM How much more epic can it get, oh man! But this was not all you had in stock I have to admit it was quite a shock When you took on Blackpink As Paganini himself, and got all the hate from their Blinks Sell out rocked so hard It for sure broke my spotify chart! But the most wonderful, epic event Was simply Ling Ling and God sent Of course through your hard work, all the practice and dedication too Let us witness you guys playing Mendy, Bach and Pag with the SSO Not only that, you did it on TWO Strads! That just proves how much the world loves you, lads It remains till this day the most beautiful recording in my opinion So much passion, softness, fire and emotion After new year a new project One in order to protect Violin-chan from the bass gang It all went down with a huge bang The Twoset vs Davie504 concert Nothing like this has ever been done, correct? All in all, an epic year once again And I'm sure you guys will gain Even more followers, do more epic projects, meet more people, dream even bigger And we'll support you all the way, while you do everything with vigour Please though, take good care of yourselves Look after you, take breaks and sleep enough, for your healths And for now all is left to say Is, happy Birthday!!!

Two set needs to do this sort of video again. I love it!

Just wanted to say that TwoSet motivated me to pick up the piano as my first instrument. I'm 32 have and been practicing almost every day for about 2.5 years total now and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made.

They always were saying the violists started on violin, but never considered other musicians (such as the flautist or ocarina player) may have started on something else as well.

6:22 Geniuses are born, not created

I've missed this kind of content, so happy it's back!

YAY! I'm so happy to see the ocarina made it on here!!! Really beautiful Chao!

This video calmed my doubts. I started learning to play the violin in November and I felt stuck recently. I don't really have comparison to others and to know a little how people sound after many years of practice was good to relax me a bit. On to practice!

I already love the idea of the video. Im so glad you still are making original ideas for your ideas. Thank you so much

The guitar player's hair is a dead giveaway - long hair shredder has to be some someone who came of age circa 1988-1992

5:53 what is the meaning of life 😂🤣

I can relate so much to Brett's enthusiasm all these classical pieces that he starts singing and dancing, I love it.

I love how they both started playing an invisible violin at 9:12 😂 Also, with the flutist at 9:45, I was closer than either of them (I guessed two years) but WHAT THE HECK. SEVEN MONTHS. Congratulations, Sander, you have been putting in a LOT of work and it shows!!!

Happy Birthday Brett!! May all your wishes come true, and may LingLing bless you! 😁🎉 🍰

8:10 OMG MY FAVORITE PIECEEEE

Happy Birthday, Bret! Without TwoSet I probably would have never found my way onto the musical side of youtube and without that, I would never have picked up the guitar. I have so much respect for you and Eddie. Have a great Birthday you deserve it.

Seeing Eddy not that competitive to win this guess game with Brett for once and got emosional damage instead (from you all Ling Ling out there) is kind of refreshing. ☺️☺️☺️ PS: Happy 31st Birthday, Brett! 😘🎉 PSS: Idea for the next content: Since your lighting start to acting up, you should read horror stories related to classical music and freak yourselves out 🤭😏

Eddy at 11:58 I’m just like, but you do have Ling Ling power. Your Perfect Pitch!!!

4:59 The singing girl is so cute!

You two must have worked really hard recently :> Btw happy birthday Brett ✨✨✨

Been so long since the last video that I am so happy to see you guys finally back!!!

I really love how these guys are insanely talented and appreciate talent on ANY instrument. The guitar guess was hilarious. As a 10 year guitarist, itd take me atleast 10 more years to hit those sweep runs as smoothly as he did.

Happy birthday Brett! I really don't know what else to comment

Widmung is one of my favorite pieces! Well done, Alyssa!! And everyone!

proving two set wrong today: i’ve been playing the viola for years, first chair, and i never started with the violin and yet, i’ve complimented to be the best in my orchestra :)

6:33 Eddy just sitting there still frozen, is CRACKING me up 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

lmaooo the light & mic just dumped you 🤣😭

We need a part 2 of this, I love this type of video so much 🤩 Also: Happy birthday, Brett! May Ling Ling be with you!

Eddy’s stereotypical comments cracked me up.

Well, to be fair, I've been singing my whole life, am intermediate at guitar, and have watched at least half of all Twoset videos. It makes sense that people, with comparable experience, could learn quicker than a 6 year old, even if they are a 6 year old Brett or Eddy 😘

Happy Birthday dear Brett!! 🎂🎉 Because of you both, I am now motivated to be a composer and full-on conductor! You both helped me appreciate classical music even more to the point where I can name all the classical music pieces mentioned in any music book! Happy Day to everyone!

"You're only good at the viola because you play violin" sounds a bit insulting, no?

Belated Happy Birthday Brett ❤️❤️❤️

6:13 the way brett's jaw just dropped we also just got rickrolled...

I missed you guys so much. Also happy birthday brett

Happy Birthday Brett! Wishing you the best day ever!!! 🎉🎉

🎉Happy Birthday Brett🥳

This was hysterical. The amount of existential angst they felt toward the end was AWESOME!

you guys should do a video where pple sumbit videos of them playing rythm games and guess how long theyve been playing their instrument or something like that.

Regarding Kira: adults can get pretty far on string instruments in relatively short amounts of time. It helps being more in tune with your body and more receptive to learning than kids are. Half the process of teaching kids is preventing them from breaking the instrument lol. And the other half is getting them to pay attention.

I like how Brett just immediately changes his decision after Eddy says his answer 😆🤣😂

So many linglings! That's really a fun video I love it!! And happy birthday Brett!!🥳🎂🎉

10:07 As a flautist, I took this very personally.

Im learning violin from 2 years now twosetters were the one who inspired me to learn I am very grateful.

happy birthday brett!!! welcome back😊 we missed you!

Today is also my birthday, i feel like this is a gift for me HAHAHA thanks guysss! Im so happy today!💛

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRETT!!!!!

Me being a viola feeling slightly offended

Hi twoset! Met some people you went to uni with yesterday at a family wedding. They were playing in a quartet. They told me that you were like the kids at the back of the section that always kind of messed around playing concertos while everyone was thinking “SHUT UP!” Lol. The guy I talked to was Dan, btw

happy birthday Brett🎉

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRETT!! this video was super fun and shout to the wonderful people who played!!

5:46 the moment they realized it was a rickroll...🤣🤣🤣

Even as a non-musician, Eddy's constant bashing of violist talent is tiring. Very tiring.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRETT! 🥳🥳

7:36 my friend has been playing Viola for about 7 years by now and she can shift that high

The most impressive one taking the years played to account is the double bassist. Almost unreal. The violinist playing for 28 days doesn't seem unreal. I started with the guitar, then picked up the cello. In 28 days, I'd say I played similarly to her. She must've had some musical background.

Glad to see these types of videos back(their my favourite)

Others: "I learn it in 2 years or 3 years." Ling Ling: "Hold my 40 hours per day."

2:30 Man used to play cello but still did that "learning cello" vid with Eddy?? Dang.

I think you guys have many fans from Italy and I'm one of this. Mamma mia . vi adoro! . Trentatre trentini entrarono a Trento tutti e trentatre trotterellando.😂😂

The bass one was accurate because in the orchestra basses are the first ones to learn the shifting so five years makes sense, and the vibration thing really a beginner can just pick up.

Happy birthday Brett!! So old 😭

I love how when people are better then them instead of nit-picking they encourage and lift them up more.

No matter how many years I watch you guys, the random screaming in the intro persists 😂 you guys are awesome
