We want that on a shirt. Lol
Conclusion: The Pipa is the most metal of all the traditional instruments
that's what i thought!!
Got some Tosin Abasi vibes ngl
as a pipa player in secondary school, it’s true 😭
OH YEAH
You should hear the yang qin. It sounds even more metallic than the pipa.
eddy:
"oh look a pretty lady"
"wow a dragon!!"
"omg a mooncake"
i can relate i get distracted like this when i don't want to practice
Honestly that's just me on a normal day

Let's do Flute in 1 Hour Brett and Eddy!
*OMG YES PLEASE!* It'll surely be fun!
As a flute player...YES!!!!!
YES
Oh yes! But I'm betting they probably can't get a good tone that quick. Took me ages to get a good tone and to get a sound from the flute
They probably faint after ten minutes. Especially Brett who has no air stamina
Xinyu: I'll be teaching you two pieces, "Ambush From Ten Sides" and "The Language of Pipa"...
editor san: ...which they didn't end up learning
editor san i love you

I love how she never stopped smiling. It seems like she has a LOT of patience
Or she is a very happy person.
@@der0ng I don't see how she cannot be
i think she was just laughing at them :,)
Simp
Smiling is a form of meditation.
Damn she’s also only 16.......what am I doing with my life
I thought she was 20
Well I'm guessing she practices 40 hours
william njagi wow she’s only a few months older than me I mean I play bassoon, euph and saxophone in a pretty decent youth orchestra but not to the extent she plays this is so insane
This is what Qi is in Chinese traditional instruments. This song called "The Ambush from all sides", the broken sounds means the throwing knives and arrows from the hidden enemy.
I KNEW it sounded familiar.
Watched it on Youth with you 2 😅
Yeah it really sounded like there was a storm or chaos
Watch kung fu hustle
Brett's knifes and arrows is missing, Eddy's knifes and arrows are dull
It's funny how cultures so far apart have similar approach to string instruments, even in the most extreme techniques.
In classical guitar, the movement of downstroking the strings one finger at a time in a lightning fast successive manner is called rasgueado, and used all the time in Flamenco.
That percussive, snare-drum-like sound you get when you put a string above the other one, is also used in songs, mainly brazilian folk music.
The level of passion she gives off when playing is astounding

That’s upsetting. I was hoping I could see more of her playing.
If you like the pipa; listen to Wu Man. She was in the Silk Road Ensemble, might still be in a last of it. She's magic.
she's a senior of mine in my secondary school & i've actually had the chance to play with her in the same orchestra! she's insanely skilled and an amazing person as well :,,,,)
Interesting!! You’re in Chinese Orchestra?
wait what school though BDJDHDB
raffles girls' secondary school, one of the top schools in singapore! im not from her secondary school but i know her from primary school where we also played in the same orchestra :)) xinyu is super duper talented and our conductor praises her alot and she performs for our school events as well! very nice personality as well
when you play guzheng instead.......
Let’s go, fellow Singaporeans unite
As a Pipa player, I can confirm that this piece is definitely hard to play. Well done twoset!
ayeeee PIPA GANGGGG
Oh hello Ling Ling, how have you been?
The moment she started speaking, I was like "Singaporean"
They looked like those kids who hate learning an instrument so they pretend to be in pain in front of their parents hoping they would tell them to stop learning lmao😂💀

😂😂😂👍
What I got most from this vid: Brett has really beautiful hands. Seriously.
Glad I'm not alone in thinking this. Brett's hands are architecture goals.
I thought the same thing
Yes! Every video I can zone out on just watching his finger movements. But then I also get distracted by Eddy's muscular forearms !
@@geegeelyn lol, same! I thought I was the only one who noticed his forearms.
I like people who have beautiful hands, so I actually look at people's hands quite a lot. And I noticed Brett's hands the first time I watched their video, but then I was like "nah, he's a violinist, no doubt". However, I keep looking at his hands whenever he plays the violin or other instruments. 😂
She is faking it....
Her hands are obviously paid actors.
All jokes aside she is amazing and goes beyond what human hands can do
AHAHAHAH good one
It might sound weird, but as a bass player i can relate to her technique xD
Its so cool how totally different cultures can blend together
@@samuelescobar4008 because Music is a culture itself
@@BonusVillixion That must be the most beautyful conclusion ever :0

Xinyu playing pipa: magestic; awe-inspiring music that brings to mind images of mystical foreign lands
Brett and Eddy playing pipa: vaguely close to the death cry of multiple seagulls down with the flu
Fun fact, I did some research. This is a really hard piece requiring some advance techniques.
- Sha xian: use your left hand fingernail to scratch the vibrating string.
- Jiao xian: push one string underneath an adjacent string so when the pushed string vibrates, it hits the string above, creating rapid metallic clashing sound.
- bing xian: push two or three strings together, so they clash with each other.
All of the above are used to simulate battle field noises.
I laughed wayyyy too loud at this hahahahha
This needs more likes
Wording: 100
dude she was my junior!!! we were taught by the same teacher and she is 4 years younger than me. I am not kidding she is super talented she was getting all that championship and gold at the age of 8-10 and my teacher loves to invite her over to my classes to perform for us lmaoooo not gonna lie my class feels super inferior to her even though she is younger :")
Me seeing her play: 👁👄👁
*How are they supposed to learn that in an hr*
They wanted to try to learn it, they brought it upon themselves XD
Pipa Pipa Keep Smiling!!:)

This is so underrated
Brett: This is torture
Uncle Roger: Torture is the secret to a good egg fried rice
Holy crap imagine the HAND CRAMP that comes with learning the Pipa.
100% why when I learned how the pipa was played way back when, I swapped to liu qin--and eventually landed on the er hu.
Er hu is my life--2 string life baby hahaha
In both hands. Pipa technique is _hard_
@@jkimmyloser i went from er hu to guzheng and trying out for pipa now, we're total opposites hahaha
Amateur pipa player here. Can confirm that my hand hurts quite bad after a while (especially with my left hand having to stretch out my tiny short fingers).
"no wonder they fake it on tv"
i died
Brett: No pain no gain
Eddy: **constipated noises** **proceeds to play Pipa aggressively**
Here's a one person petition : Next time, if you can find a teacher, learn Guqin(古琴). It's different than a Guzheng. It only has 7 strings and the tone is so much deeper. I personally don't know how to play a Guqin (oops) but it's nice to see if twoset can learn how to play it..
I play Guqin!!!!! So glad to see someone mention it! The sound is really beautiful and easy to learn (ONLY) at the beginning.
yaaassss!
I wish these were easier to find in the US. I would take lessons! Here I have only found guzheng lessons...
Yes
@@JamesChangMusic Thanks for the information! I'm kind of getting carried away and starting sitar soon. Maybe in five years I can learn guqin... Two instruments will already be more than I can handle!
Ling Ling got quarantined so she practice 60 hours now
Kaiba’s voice: 6-60 hours! Ah, that’s impossible! No one’s been able to accomplish that feat!
Professor Xinyu: Do（sing）
Eddy: THAT'S A D
PERFECT PITCH GAAAANGGGG

Read it as that's rad Ive been looking at too many Yakuza memes
@@rubyyp2182 yassss
not gonna lie it confuses me too sometimes
There is a say, "千日琵琶百日筝" (Thousand days for Pipa, hundred days for Guzheng), which has described how difficult it is to master the Pipa.
and what, 10000 days for erdhu?
@@liammcooper LOL, maybe
Did no one else get distracted by her pink socks
AHH YESSS FINALLY I FOUND THIS COMMENT
i'm seeing a recurring pattern whenever Brett and Eddy learn to play a new instrument:
"oww i'm in sO mUcH pAiN"
"ahh my hand is so sORE"
"omg my bACK"
"eVERYTHING H U R T S"
in conclusion, they old
Today's summary:

Xinyu: It will hurt a little bit
TwoSet: THE PAIN
Me watching: The pain of watching TwoSet in pain but then reminding myself that I'm not learning the pipa.
Also being a Pipa learner...As i heard the two pieces i can imagine how they would perform....These are difficult level. Language of Pipa was once my 10th level exam piece....
0.0 I play pipa too :D
Brett: I don't think I'll make past the first part.
Editor-san: You won't ...
Editor-san's savageness made my day! ahhahaah
"you won't"
Sassy editor san is best editor san.
Yes, killer!
"Both pieces is in D major, so this is Do"
Eddy: "That's a D"
I laughed so much my computer screen is covered in my breakfast. Thanks.
Two Set bringing the appreciation of little known instruments to the masses (from a purely western based mindset). You guys are fantastic. Keep up the magnificent work and keep spreading the wonder of music to the world.
Her quiet “your posture”... gets me everytime
The two guys should play the pipa as a cello or a double bass, do it upright.
Holding like a guitar requires arm strength to maintain the balance.
Twoset: * roasting people who think that they can learn violin under 24 hours *
Also twoset: “We try to learn the pipa under 1 hour”

Tbf, they end up about as good as you’d expect. Which is to say, not great lol.

Atleast they don't fake learning in 1 hour

Haha, so much fun to see someone learn this. Remind me the pain I went through. Another two hard one U can try for one hour challenge is chinese bamboo flute竹笛 and suona唢呐

1:18 the concentration is literally coming from her toes... wow she plays so beautifully, the pipa is such an amazing instrument 😍
"My chicken sounds soggy"
- Brett Yang 2020
I'm glad they tried to learn pipa! I have wanted to watch a classical guitar lesson, but I think an instrument with a plectrum makes more sense. It took me a couple months to hone in on the right shapes for my nails. Each of my nails is slightly different, and I watched many tutorials to find my own personal shapes. They're very different from my teacher's.
Even though the idea is to joke around, simply not having the tool available to produce the sound at all would feel unfair.
Brett:
+2 bad posture
Eddy:
+3 weak a$$ violinist
+3 bad posture
GAME OVER
2:08
Eddy: I feel like I'm getting my...
Brett: Manicure.
Me, a girl, but still thought of Killua's assassination nails instead of manicure.
I had no idea my country has so many music prodigies.
She is amazing! The way she changes when playing, a whole different person! An artist, just there, all my love to her!
Last time I was this early, I practiced 40 hours a day

I know it’s not perfect because I might have messed up a rhythm and a couple of chord voicings. Also I’m really new to harmonic analysis so it might not be 100%, but I did my best. Also, it will be less blurry if you open it in the app rather than the browser
5:00 eddy is just like the "kids he used to teach"
She is rocking all the way out! Such passion! She has clearly been practicing 40 hours a day. 🧡
I love how she plays with her whole body and really feels the music.. maybe that's how the pipa is supposed to be played, but it is amazing to observe regardless.
that's basically how every instrument is supposed to be played. she's extremely skilled indeed.
Brett: No pain NO gain
Eddy: UGHHHHAHHSHSHSHDNWJDHSNSJ!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had the honor of hearing the pipa in person back in January of last year. My local philharmonic invited Wu Man to play the pipa concerto, and it was so amazingly breathtaking to witness firsthand.

I love how editor-san roasts twoset. That's what you get for keeping editor-san at the basement.
As an Indonesian girl, I'm still waiting for "TWOSET TRY LEARNING GAMELAN IN 1 HOUR" 😁
I think it would be really cool if you keep making video about learning (at least 1) traditional instrument from another country every now and then ☺️
Just saying✌️ I would love everything you guys doing as long as you happy☺️
Ooohhh nice! But there are lots of instrument (gamelan is like percussion, lots of instruments), i would like them to learn bonang barung!
(And they have to taste the full-team gamelan perfomance, with the sinden too, aaaaaa it would be greatttt)
Sasando too! I bet they will surprised with sasando's unique shape 🤣
I love gamelan!
Woahh agreee
Isn't gamelan almost 100 percent percussion ensemble? I think they're learning only traditional string instrument this far.
....gotta admit it would be interesting to see they learn how to sinden tho
I appreciate how they show a variety of instruments, especially the ones that aren't normal in orchestras
I love how the pipa looks.
Very eye catching and aesthetically appealing.
did editor-san use among us "kill" sound when eddy showed off his nails? 👀
I think so.... 😏
Yeah I think
"It's gonna hurt a bit" will be the famous last words of a beginner in violin.
The pipa is almost like my family legacy at the point. My mom started learning the pipa at 14 with the best teacher in her province but since she started too late she didn't get too far, but was good enough to play both of the pieces mentioned after 20 years.
Brett's face at 2:28-2:29 pretty much captures the expression I had on my face when she started playing 😯 SHE'S SO GOOD! 👏🏾
the immediate look of regret on his face after Xinyu started playing
also anyone else think that if they're going to bash things like jazz and the sax, they should try to learn it?
It's just a joke bruh.
This is probably the earliest I've ever been on any of the twoset videos.
Oh, and the pipa sound, I'm guessing it was one of the instruments used in making soundtracks in ATLA, especially the Avatar's Love
and leaves from the vine :’( but yeah, they did use pipa a lot.
But the Avatar's love is on kalimba, right? Unless the pipa is in it as well.
@@flowerdolphin5648 yeah, but i can heat another instrument towards the end
I’m so glad you guys gave pipa a shot! It literally is THE hardest string instruments to master in my mind. I’ve been playing pipa for 10 years and I still have a long way to go to fully master it 🙄
The moment she opens her mouth
Me: YAS SINGAPOREAN!!! SINGAPORE REPRESENT!!!
Shebis so good though its like wowza!! Also A for effort Brett and Eddy
YUHHH SG PRIDE
She’s such a gentle teacher! It’s so hard to find one that is gentle and understanding but not sappy and overbearing and teaches you as well as she did
