INSTRUMENT ABUSE IS NOT OKAY 

What new viewers must think: For violinists they do play the triangle a lot

it literally took me eight years to convince my parents to finally buy me an instrument due to various socioeconomic factors and there are actual people who destroy their instruments instead of donating it to the less privileged. the sacrilege in these videos is truly astronomical and very hurtful to people who cannot even afford an instrument. instrument abuse is not okay!!!

Ok, not only is deliberately destroying instruments a waste of money, art, and beauty; but how insulting to the people who spent their own, valuable time making these instruments! Not only that, but these people could be giving these instruments to people who will love and treasure them! Guys, please, even if you hate an instrument, please don’t destroy it. It deserves love, so give it to someone who will treasure it.

as a trumpet player myself, i cried while watching the part where he smashes his trumpet 😭😭

This is like Eddy and Brett’s version of watching a horror movie

For the record, smashing instruments is seen as a disrespectful try-hard thing in the rock world as well. There may have been a time where people thought it was cool, but nowadays, destroying an instrument just makes you look like an asshole.

Okay, I couldn’t finish this video. It literally made me cry! I put my child molester husband in prison and lost absolutely everything! My daughter and I struggle hard! She wants a violin so bad I’ve bee been looking at a $40 import on Amazon, and I can’t even afford that, and these dipsticks are out here trashing the center piece of so many underprivileged children’s dreams! To hell with these crazy people! And shame on those people cheering!

*Anyone literally destroying their Instrument* Me: Imagine doing that to my Piano. I'll end your life

Why do they destroy the instruments, they can give them to poor kids like me

Why, just why not giving them to people who can't afford to buy an instrument?

Bro as a musician ....... I felt pain when they destroyed the guitars

This is actually sad How many people would kill to have an instrument like those, but can't afford one, or even think about getting one

It's sad seeing people destroying instruments for fun while others who can't afford is dreaming of having one.. like me

I apologize to my instrument every time I accidentally hit it on the wall

1 like equals 1 prayer for that cello at 2:40

I remember when I replaced my cheap first guitar with a good student level one, I gave the cheap one to my teacher so he can give it to students who are starting out and don't own a guitar yet. I'm still smiling occasionally thinking about this and how many people it might have helped introduce into the world of music. My point is, please respect your instruments and give them away/resell them if you know you won't be using them anymore. I'm honestly super triggered by this video...

Me: Can't afford lessons or an instrument *Sacrilegious* people: Destroying *thousands* of dollars worth of instruments

A friend of mine told me about a couple of guys in her high school music class who threw a trombone (I think) out of their 2nd floor classroom window. The things was damaged beyond repair. The following week, the teacher gave jobs for everyone to do to prep for the upcoming concert, ignoring the two kids who did it. The two idiots were like "...what would you like us to do?" The teacher responded "you can go down to the guidance office and make sure you're not in my class next year."

Probably one of the most painful videos to watch. 😣 There could be so many people who would want an instrument but could never afford it. The massive guitar destruction was the worst.

i actually screamed at the trumpet distruction.

The way Eddie covered his violin’s “eyes” lmao

people destroying instruments... while other people wanted to have one, but doesn't have enough money to buy one for themselves...:(

All I could think when I saw the number of guitars there was... The number of schools and music programs that are in underserved communities that could have been helped... I know electric guitar isn't a normal school instrument, but anything to get people into music.

bro, that was more than violence, that should be a CRIME SCENE.

When Eddy shrieked "AiYa". . . I felt that

"as a twosetter you know it's all about respect" has war flashbacks to all the viola disrespect

0:05 Eddy: P for I need to Practice Paganini: Violin Concerto Op 6 No 1, 3rd mvt

You should check out The Who appearance on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. Their rather eccentric drummer Keith Moon packed his bass drum full of explosives to go off at the end of the performance, unbeknownst to the shows producers. It resulted in shrapnel being lodged in Moons arm, the guitarist Pete Townsends hair catching alight and permanent hearing loss for the lead singer Roger Daltrey. Worst of all though, it caused their mild mannered bass guitarist virtuoso John Entwistle to step slightly to the side out of the way.

"Don't hit your instruments" Percussionists: Am I a joke to you?

All jokes aside, this needed to be addressed. Breaking an Instrument is not cool at all

Bro that cello one looked like a free public execution..

I will say, I have destroyed a guitar once. It was an acoustic that a friend in high school had, and it was badly damaged already (badly warped neck, cracks in the body, hole in the back). So we decided to go out to the loading dock and do the thing you see in videos of people just swinging a guitar into something. I did feel bad about it afterwards though even though the instrument was basically beyond repair.

1:54 Eddy’s “AaAaiiyyyaaA” touches my asian heart purely.

Me: watches this My eyes: slowly moving over to my clarinet lying in a corner that hasn't been practised for at least 40 hours

When you live with an instrument for a while you realise each one has a personality. You may not get along, but it’s a personality all the same.

WE NEED A PART 2

"To enter heaven, you must be forgiven by every one you killed" "Oh I didn't kill any-" "Instruments included"

I feel bad for the luthiers. Luthier is a hard job. Making an instrument ain't a piece of cake

The fact that people enjoy destroying instruments and abuse so many is scary and sad... 😭😱💔⚰️ Thank you so much for bringing the awareness to us about instrument abuse, No More Instrument Violence People!! 🎸🎼🎻❤️

I am not a musician at all. Watching this still made my very soul hurt.

' Don't try this at home.' As if everyone owns a steam roller.

I'm not even a musician and this was physically painful

i cant even why i thought people actually respected instruments

This video made me want to go give my violin a hug.

As a guitarist, I legit cried when they destroyed the guitars.

*here is a hotline for victims of instrument abuse* 40L-ING-LING

As a Cellist I feel sorry for the instruments and violinists who had to witness and experience the pain, may they rest in peace.

The first one is already killing me I’m a pianist for 6 years and started to play clarinet in my grade 7 band in September But a few years ago I suddenly asked my parents for a cello for Christmas cuz the deep sound waves and it’s the instrument closest to your heart (idk the bass or guitar could be but I heard that cello was) and it’s gonna be my dream to play cello one day … 🥺HOW COULD HE RUIN IT

You’re right. Violin abuse isn’t okay. It’s too violint 😔

To be honest what really bothers me about the destruction videos is that many people would love to play those instruments but have no money to purchase them and then there are people out there destroying them, its kinda sad. Just like Eddy said: RESPECT INSTRUMENTS, PEOPLE

My friends birthday is coming up and I wanted to buy her a cello. Seeing that first guy destroying one with that anger he had breaks my heart because the luthier put effort into it, the people who bought it workes hard for the money, the cellist who owned the cello could have used it for better or donate it, and instead it ended up being destroyed in the most horrible way possible

As a person who used to hate playing piano, back then, I don't have the balls to destroy my piano. Those things are expensive to buy and maintain its good shape.

Imagine the people that create instruments for a living and seeing the instrument that they had spent their time on being destroyed

EXPLAINING GIBSONS GUITAR DESTRUCTION I hated their decision, but they defended this saying that all those GIbson Firebird X guitars destroyed came from a terrible defective batch. It was also apparent that the Firebird X model was selling terribly, and nobody would buy them, not even to modify them for the better. After this incident went viral, they pledged to donate millions worth of instruments to people who need it, and gave away an instrument a day for a thousand days. Still doesn't sit well with me though...that was a lot of wasted wood and steel. They do this a lot. More times off-camera. One statement released essentially says they were sorry to have let someone film it happening. ALSO yes some famous rock and metal bands thrash their instruments. Mostly because they can afford to lose it. They often gather the shards of the broken instruments and give them away to fans, or sell it in auctions to charity or collectors. But this is not as common practice as some may think. Usually rock and metal bands take intense care of their gear, as they have been customized, modified, or very distinct to make the sounds they want to achieve. It's a different conversation when you're well funded on a live tour however. But generally, this is insane. Do these people realize how many people out there would love to pick up instruments but can't afford any? It's baffling to me how this is even something people celebrate. Every instrument destroyed is an instrument that could have been loved by better people. Particularly those handmade by luthiers. Im so mad.

"If you're a two setter, you know it's all about respecting the instruments" *Screams in violist*

Ouch ouch such DISRESPECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are so many underprivileged kids who would have appreciated those instruments that those people just destroyed. It's not just the insult to the workmanship, the fact that they destroyed something beautiful that brings meaning and joy to so many. What irks me most is that they could have donated those instruments, which are so expensive, to those who would take care of them and use them to make beautiful music. So senseless.

Alternate title: Brett and Eddy Torturing themselves for 9 minutes and 48 seconds As a percussionist, I usually relate to hitting things and breaking stuff but at least I don’t smash my Instrument-wait I do That’s the whole point of percussion......

this made me cry

This actually made me flinch so bad tears came out of my eyes

These people need to appreciate the fact that a lot of time and effort were put into making those precious instruments... :(

me: *who can't afford any instruments but want to be a classical musician* *sad violin noises* iT rEaLLy hUrTss

I know it was a thing to smash instruments at one point but even rock artists very much grew out of it (or at least from my experience we did). I was a guitarist for years and always thought that smashing instruments was entitled - all the guitarists I knew and I looked after our instruments like they were our babies. I lent my bass to my ex years ago and was FURIOUS when it was returned with a dent in the top. F-u-r-i-o-u-s. Ex for a reason lol.

I can’t believe the cello shattered

People: Let's teach young people the only way to gain respect is to destroy stuff! TwoSetters 2 million strong: HOW DARE YOU

Even in the “rock world”, this is disrespectful lol.

The breaking of the instrument *TUGS* at my heart strings.

I played piano for a while, but it’s always been hard for me to read music (I pretty much have one eye, my left works, but isn’t connected to my brain correctly). I really enjoyed piano, and I sing, but it’s always been hard. I’ve been thinking about getting back into piano now that COVID has calmed down a bit thanks to you guys, so thank you for inspiring my love of classical music again. It was one of my main connections to my late grandmother who was my best friend, and I miss her every day. I love your content, and you always make me smile. Thank you.

I literally almost cried when the cello shattered I don’t even know why this is so painful

2:34 Eddy: they're cheering Brett: and they're filming it... Eddy: ThEy'Re ChEeRiNg

I’ve always wanted a cello, give it to me. Please. I’m not asking.

This is one of their most entertaining videos on their channel

Just imagine... Cellist: *finishes final piece* Audience: *cheers* Cellist: thank you all for coming to my show *proceeds to beat up cello and light it on fire*

And I thought Karens were the limit of human stupidity. . Edit: Never mind I just met something stupider

As a trumpet player, 4:15 hurt me so much.

TRIGGERED

Me, who wants to learn the violin but can’t afford it right now watching this like: 👁💧👄💧👁 I’m in paiNnnNnnNnn~

This make me feel like watching my best friend getting killed in front of thousand of people in a colosseum and everyone is cheering when he get ripped to pieces

That last one got to me. It made me flinch lol

Me in the end of the video traumatized for the poor instruments. Is like what did the instrument did to you 🤦

Eddy: Oh I forgot. Don't rock musicians do that in concerts? Brett being the purebred classical musician he is: Do they? Eddy: Oh yeah, didn't Jimi Hendrix burn his guitar? Brett, once again, so innocent: Did he?

This video is Twoset’s warning to davie504.

I’m proud of myself for recognising that the first clip was of a cello, since a week or two ago, I wouldn’t have even known the difference between the string instruments

Editor-nim did a great job with that two set opening 😂

They do not deserve their instruments. Spoiled brats

If this is a Try-not-to-flinch challenge, they are owned.

>.< the pain

I legitimately couldn't watch the clips. SO SACRELIGIOUS!!

ngl, I'm not even a musician but watching this feels like watching animal abuse, ugh

Roller dude:Don't try this at home Sacrilegious people: We can try that outside home *sneaky smile* NO INSTRUMENTAL ABUSE

3:44 bir dakikalık saygı duruşunun sonu değil mi ya bu

Lutnik płakał jak ogladał Szanujmy instrumenty✨

I know lota of people who would like to learn to play an instrument but can't afford it. Just wasteful.

very satisfying!

I cried when my cello endpin hit the ground hard.

Do you know how many kids don't have enough money and would be over the moon to actually get their hands on those instruments?

The despair and pain in their faces... Why would they torture themselves like this?

6:26 e-e-u-uh what?

I literally started crying.

Funny story about the way I started playing guitar: I was 15 and at a friends house after school, hanging out in his garage and playing pool, listening to some music and blazing up when my friend pulled out an acoustic guitar he had. The back was peeling off a bit and the action was super high (the strings were really far off the fretboard, making it difficult to press them down on the frets) but other than that it was a perfectly good instrument. I didn't really know anything about guitars yet, but it seemed that it could be easily repaired/still be played in the condition it was in. For some reason my friend thought it would be funny and asked if I wanted to watch him smash the guitar outside in the street. I instantly felt it would be sacreligious to destroy a nice looking instrument, so I protested and asked him to give it to me instead of destroying it. He did and I took it home and there began my obsession with guitar for the past 12 years. I fell in love with the instrument right away. Also, I looked up that guitar model after I took it home and it turns out it was a pretty nice guitar, handmade in Canada. Wish I still had it as a keepsake, but at least I still have my love for guitar and music.
