Fuzion Shot yeah I understand but I think the flute she was using is not her flute but from flute center of New York and I think it is the $84,000 Haynes flute I might be wrong and it might be a Muramatsu which is also very expensive.
123William Mobile that violin looks very nice quality, but despite the price, violins break easier and repairs cost more, so i would honestly be more worried about the violin. and im a flute player btw
@@vmprie you see that's definitely where the violin is a better instrument, for defending one self, you have the bow which you can stab people's eyes thus giving you the fighting advantage, and you also got the violin which you can use for smashing at people's heads. To conclude the violin is a very practical at fighting and great at playing music, remember you never know when someone could break into you house, better to be safe than sorry... I'm sorry but did I over think This?
@@Shay-ul2bg but not considering this video, I have to argue the bassoon is the best for defending yourself. The bamboo reed is perfect for stabbing people with, and you can always wack them with the bell. And yes, i think we both over thought this... 😂
I play both the concert flute and violin, and I can tell you unequivocally that violin is a much harder instrument to learn. For starters, the violin has no frets. It takes muscle control, proper finger placement and an ear for each note to be played. I’ve been playing the violin for about five years now, and I only play it in the first two octaves. But since I only play lyrical tunes and hymns, all I need to know are the first two octaves. 😉 And after five years...I still can’t do a true wrist/arm vibrato. The best I can do is a fake finger vibrato. 😖 🎻 🎶
Same though. That's why I just switched to cello. I played one in a violin shop and I immediately sounded better than after months on violin. I also play piano, guitar, bass, ukulele, and trumpet too though, so 🤷♂️
єνєlуи i'm still struggling with proper bow handling, i wanted to cut off my pinky but my teacher said its important for balance and pressure so wth :(
I haven't watched, but having played both, I feel like this will be easier for him. The flute is just buttons. The violin has like... an attitude problem.
I also play both, and yeah flute is easier, because you know that if you push some specific buttons you get it. The violin is more like: ,,you are a picometer too low. I’m out of tune.”
I play the chinese equivalent of both the flute and the violin, and I totally agree with this! But when I tell this to my flute buddies, they give me death stares instead 🤷🏻♀️
mY tEa iS SugAr FrEe Musician’s are usually pretty good and figuring out how to make other instruments work. I bet if you gave them both alike two days they’d be stellar and “Aunt Rhody” and “Twinkle”
I can play hot cross buns and Mary had a little lamb on almost a dozen instruments (in order of best to worst, bass clarinet, Bb clarinet, tenor sax, ukulele, guitar, piano, voice, ocarina, recorder, violin, and I have done it before on marimba and vibraphone.). The only instruments on that list that I would say I play at a intermediate level (possibly high intermediate but definitely not professional) are bass clarinet, tenor sax, Bb clarinet, and ukulele. Ones I’d say I’m more of a beginner at I’d guitars, piano, and voice. The other ones I just know how to play either just hot cross buns and Mary had I little lamb or maybe a little more than that (marimba and vibraphone I could play more and I have, I’m just not a percussionist so I basically just treat it the same as piano in my hand you just play it with mallets). I really want to learn all woodwind instruments, along with some brass instruments, and the instruments I said I’m more a beginner level at, and I also really really want to learn violin.
I was thinking hot cross buns when she said B, A, and G! I know those aren’t the notes for hot cross buns on the flute, but I could totally still play it on recorder to this day 😂
I’m 14 and started violin when i was much younger. It is hard to make a nice sound and have good intonation as a beginner. I started piano a few months ago and got to abrsm grade 3 standard in 4 months. With piano you don’t have the difficulty of playing out of tune and making a ‘wispy’ sound like on violin. You can play music that sounds nice immediately. However, playing with 2 hands at once and reading two clefs at the same time is hard. I feel like all instruments have their own difficulties so its hard to compare. Great video, thanks!
I definately think that you can have more talent or just have an easier time learning one instument than another. When I was younger I used to play the clarinet and I got a very good sound even at the first lesson. About two years ago I decided that I wanted to learn to play the violin and at least in the beginning it was so much harder than clarinet even though my teacher said that I sounded better than most beginners(it still sounded terrifying and my cat got so scared he wouldn't come into my room). But I guess violin is harder for beginners because there's so much to do at the same time, hold the bow correctly and straight, keep the other hand's posture, play in tune and syncronize the bowing with the other hand etc. I'm just happy that I started with clarinet because I would have given up so quickly if I started violin as a 10 year old😂.
@@sebastian-benedictflore I mean it would probably be a bad idea but it would be cool tho, maybe they should do that but in a fake orchestra rehearsal with their friends
flute is harder because it requires your entire body (air, toungue, fingers,shoulders, proper embochure, etc.) its definitly an very phisically demanding . i havent played violin in 4 years but i still play flute and its definetly harder.
As a flute player, i think the flute is very hard in the beginning, but later it gets easier since you are getting used to the fingering and stuff. However, I think both the flute and the violin are very hard instruments to learn 🤷🏻♀️
@@strangeharmony1 that's not what I mean, I mean a longer string or longer chamber for air to resonate in (idk what you flutists call it) will make a lower pitched sound and vice versa. Edit: for example piccolo's are shorter than flutes because they need to hit higher notes
When she started feeling bad about how bad she was at violin and how quickly he picked up on the flute but he kept making her feel better and not think like that warmed my heart :)
why would you say its harder to start to play the flute?? As a violin player I can pick up a flute and make a sound and play some tunes without ever having lessons, but I don't think I could have ever done that with a violin when I first started, intonation seems to be more difficult and making a nice sound obvs (so scratchy hahahah). Just curious?
Lizza Grace yes I totally agree with you. What I meant was for the average person, it is harder to make a single note on flute (where you can actually hear it) where as you can easily pick up a violin and bow it and it will make a sound. However once you can blow into flute it is a whole lot easier as violin is very technically harder
Flute is much easier than the violin, and the oboe is much harder than the flute. The bassoon is somewhere in-between the flute and oboe.Cello is pretty difficult too.
I play both as well. Started the flute in 5th grade and picked up the violin at 19. I would agree with you the flute is easier to perfect and the violin is harder to perfect. I also learned the violin on my own, no lessons.
I play both flute and violin. Honestly I think the violin is easier to learn, but hard to make sound good. While the flute is harder to learn, but easier to make sound good once you know how to play.
She said violin was second to viola..... My viola heart..... (This is the first video of hers that I have seen, and I'm going to subscribe just for that.)
I knew this video was doomed from the moment I read the title 😂. It’s nothing against flute players, but violin is just WAY harder to learn than flute. Of course they each have their own intricacies that take a lifetime to develop, but starting out, violin and strings are just much more complex to figure out. Flute bonus: lower lever flute players sound way better than lower level violin players haha.
Ling Ling is disappointed, you wanted to play the v I o L A. Even your boyfriend looked at you like, “W h Y?” I’m kidding but legit his face when you talked about wanting to be a violist cracked me up.
BRO WHATTT HE LITERALLY PLAYED A NOTE ON THE FLUTE ON THE FIRST TRY AND IVE BEEN TRYING TO PLAY A NOTE ON MY FRIENDS FLUTE FOR 3 WEEKS NOW AND STILL CANT 😂😂😂
I agree that the violin is harder to learn [Twoset has thoroughly informed me how complex the violin can really be], however, in the defense of the flutes, to become a professional flutist you must have a serious set of lungs on you. I'd also say that the position of the flute is more uncomfortable long term than the violin. In conclusion, flutes may be easier to learn, but they bring a lot of pain to make up for it too.
@@LoreCatan yeah I get where you're coming from but there are also many more hard things about the violin too. Violinists still have to worry about bow speed, bow pressure, hand-eye coordination, tuning, hitting the right string, shifting and more. Also, intonation is extremely hard as there are no frets like on guitar to guide you to the notes, so even with the tiniest variance of your fingers, the note will either be sharp or flat and overall, not sound good. Playing the violin requires you to coordinate and balance your entire body to get a decent sound. The spacing between the notes gets different as you work your way up the fingerboard to the higher notes too. It's ALSO different for every violin.
@@LoreCatan I never feel faint anymore, after playing flute for a year. But after 9 years of playing, my shoulder get so sore if my posture isnt perfect. And I permanently have minor nerve impingment on my left hand index finger where I hold the weight of the flute. So I have to take frequent practice breaks when it feels tingly. This wouldn't happen if I played violin lol i dont get how piano players can sit there for so long
cup1cake 55 the sharps are always getting me. I don’t play flute or violin but opal clarinet and our region scale of three and a half octaves has so many sharps it kills me.
Watching this definitely makes the violin seem tougher. You have to hunt for every non-open note, AND you have to bow the note just right. I still think the flute's pretty tough too, even though having defined fingerings for each note probably helps. Your BF made it look easy, but I'm sure embouchure issues would have come into it if the notes had been farther apart. You two make a cute couple. Congrats to the BF on the new gig!
Katie and Jeremias this was a very enjoyable video! You two were so funny! I know how talented you both are. I’ve heard you play together seriously. Great to see your sense of humor! You two are too cute!
I started violin at 62, I little old, I do play the guitar and some piano, violin is hard and it requires lots of patience and perseverance to get to where it sound okay but it is a great instrument to get into. Piano is easier to star but it gets very complicated because of the amount of data you have to process quickly, well, if you enjoy music learn an instrument it will payoff in time.
Being Argentinian has this effect on you, where you are watching a video for any reason (for instance, classical music), then you hear "I'm from Córdoba" and you get all excited and then afterwards "a little town in Argentina" and you start screaming DALE CAMPEOOOON like a madman.
Violin is definitely harder to learn. I picked up my sisters flute in 10th grade, previously played clarinet, and taught myself in two days. That was 16 years ago. Played all through college and still play to this day. Love love love it!!!
I hate the flute, and am still perplexed to this day why I ever bothered learning to play it to excellent sight reading orchestral standard. I had to get off the cello and play 1st flute when our flautist broke her shoulder. It was horrible. In fact I'm going to lend my best flute out to our current 2nd flute.That's how much I don't care. meanwhile, nobody as much as even touches my cello!
This was really fun to watch, especially since I play both flute (since age 12) and violin (since age 21). Even though I was so much older when I started violin, I would still say that it is much harder to learn than flute! But once you're adept at either instrument, both present their own unique challenges.
Me when I was younger... I'm going to learn flute it's going to be sooo easy. Me when I got a flute and a book:this is sooo easy. Later in life Flute and Book:I'm gonna end this mans whole career.
I'm new to your channel. You and Jeremias did really well on the others' instrument. And you are adorable together. Subscribed. PS for anyone confused by comments about Ling Ling, practice 40 hours a day, if you can play it slowly you can play it quickly... they're memes from a violin channel whose fans have clearly raided the comments lol
Aashritha Sayyaparaju yeah violin is way harder, sorry. not to mention every list says violin is the #1 most difficult instrument to learn. this videos proof. it takes a long time to develop a good tone, you have to train your ear to differentiate sharp from flat everytime.
Ren Yeaaa cause when you play a flat then a different measure would have a sharp/natural it’ll sound weird if you don’t play it right, that’s why I envy people who have perfect pitch😂
This is my boyfriend and I on our free time HAHAHAH he plays the basoon, piano and guitar . I play violin, and a bit of piano. We are always trading and failing miserably
