![NOSFERATU - Official Teaser Trailer [HD] - Only In Theaters December 25](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/b59rxDB_JRg/mqdefault.jpg)
Man imagine having a violing you've loved for years, raised it as your own, and then it suddenly plays amazing for someone else. Traitor violin 😭
I know that feeling too well!
I honestly didn't ever thought I would hear a Melody só beautiful from that violin. And It was not as the owner was bad or anything, but even with a headphone It was amazing
it's more like "I'm not worthy of my violin. You violin deserve better"
Yeah...thats sad
Imagine your violin saying why haven’t you improved, I can sound so much better.

Gah...flashback to when I was in high school and my flute teacher told me I should lose weight to help my diaphragm out a bit. I mean she wasn't wrong...but I think that was the first time I realized how brutally honest someone could be.
In case anyone is wondering, the first piece that Benny plays to demo each violin is Brahms Violin Concerto 1st movement
IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOR HOURS THANK YOU SO MUCH
Omg thank youuuu. I’ve been searching for this for a long time lol
Indeed thou has knowledge. Also what about the last piece Benny played (double stops)
What about the blindfold test when Benny is playing on Eddy's instrument with the double stops (6th's), is that the same concerto?
@@denisnicholson2528 I think it's Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto? Could be mistaken though

Okay so are we going to talk about how shy Benny is when he’s asked to talk but how confidence just oozes out of him when he starts playing?? He’s just a completely different person when he’s playing the violin, which is so damn attractive in my opinion.
So truee, he's Sebastian Michaelis in the flesh, cool, wears suit, and plays like a devil❤️
Yeah, I loved his attitude. It's tricky to navigate such a situation with humility and honesty. He knows he's excellent, he knows what he's doing, he knows what he's talking about, and yet he's pleasant, tactful, and fun.

I don't think people realize that Brett and Eddy's violins are probably worth like $10k + maybe even more. Those are old violins and they are professionals.
I have looked up Brett's instrument. He plays an old Scrollavetza which goes for between the $20k-$30k range (AT AUCTION = MORE FOR RETAIL).
Another thing I want to mention is that Benny's bow also makes a huge difference at that level. It could perhaps be a Pecatte or a Tourte which costs more than Brett's violin alone ( ~$100k respectively)
"Old" doesn't just mean "good." There are new instruments that sound way better than plenty of old ones. Most of the time it's just a placebo effect tricking people into thinking some old piece of crap sounds better.
@@jasonfrost5025
I think it depends, but most of the time it’s a survivor effect that the old instrument we see today often survives the test of time

My daughter's an artist. It's a secret but they all love fans who fan over them. 8) Fan away, they love it & deserve it.
Last Saturday I attended Benny's concert in Taiwan. We all know that Benny is an incredibly amazing, talented violinist, and his recordings are beautiful for sure, but let me tell you something: they certainly pale in comparison to his live performance. It was the most magical experience. It's been days and I'm still thinking about it. So if you ever get the chance, do go to concerts, immerse yourself in the powerful sound that came straight out of the instruments (btw, if I'm not wrong, Benny's playing on a Strad now).
I almost died when Benny (in a shy manner) reminded the audience that there are still a few movements left. (And everybody clearly liked dat ;)) I even heard a girl nearby whispering 'aww he's so cute ;-; ' and I was like I KNOW RIGHT)
It's so cool that you were able to listen to him live, very happy for you ! 😀
That's cool. When COVID ends, I will definitely go to Taiwan to watch Benny's performance.
I’m also in one of his concerts! Ngl that’s one of the most amazing moments in my life, that dude’s a real ling ling
Wow, you're so lucky. He had a concert in my country last 2018 but I wasn't able to go since I was on another country at that time.
I’m going to one of his concerts later this month, so excited!
I sold my violin for just over 20 million or so. Now I just need to figure out the exchange rate for monopoly money to USD.

I'm so amazed just how different it is.

Then Brett's is nice and warm but much less resonant.
Eddy's was all resonance. It sounded like it was hollow almost.
Such a stark contrast.
I had the same comparison. The 10m one sounds "full" and darker, Brett's sounds lighter and like it isn't as powerful but still nice and warm, Eddy's sounded like a cardboard box in comparison.

I think the difference is the time the Brett and Eddie spent playing in a string section, where they played to fit in, rather than to stand out. I notice that all the soloists play with an intensity and aim to stand out. Brett and Eddie play in an ensemble fashion. I can see them breaking that habit, if they think about it. You guys always play with that edge of self-deprecation that the soloists don't . They play with total ego. That's the difference.
I don't have a $10,000,000 headphones to hear the difference
dont bother. u tube compression algorithm got your back. it turns everything into shit no matter the headphones. also u d need expensive sound card and a good cord
You can tell the more expensive violin has a richer tone to it.
Maybe they don't reach $10,000,000 but if you want you can just check out the Sennheiser HE-1, which aside from the headphones includes the amplifier and DAC, because if you have the best headphones in the world might as well plug them into the best interface in the world.

hi, im a time traveler. brett does sound really good on a strad. his 4m mendolsohn is super sweet
Heard a sad story of Guarneri's life. He lived at the same time as Stradivari and struggled competing him. During his life he wasn't highly recognized (mostly because of the fame of Stradivari) and her violins' sound was considered as squeaky an hissing. But the fact is that at these times violin concerts were run in small rooms for small groups of listeners. When music became more popular for the masses and concerts were organized in much bigger audiences it appeared that Guarneri violins sound much better and brighter in those big spaces but the master already passed away by that time. That was the reason why Paganini preferred Guarneri over Stradivari. And that's why, unfortunately, there are only about 30 Guarneri violins left (comparing to 400+ Stradivari's) nowadays.

Mines are €200 but it also depends on the audio card
You have to listen it live to actually hear the difference. I dont know any about violin but I can tell a good intrucment can provide louder sound. And louder is not enough. A goos intrucment can sent the sound farer with good quolity. I mean, even you sit so far, it still sounds it plays close in front of you. Classical music usually doesnt use amp or any electric device. So the quolity of the instrucment has to be good to play music to hundreds of people in a hall.

U guys make such wholesome content. It's great
What makes Benny an amazing musician is not just his ability to physically play well (even though that's off the charts), he obviously has an amazing ear, and the ability to instantly recognise what can make something sound better, or what kind of instrument would suit what style of playing. Having this ability to make judgement calls on playing, sound, instrument, technique etc puts him in a league of his own. Just wow.
To be honest I have my doubts. I really don't hear a difference between the violins, even with my really good headphones. A lot of it is probably placebo. There is a test on this. They tested the sounds of different stradivarius violins and the blindfolded listeners couldn't commonly exact on a definitive difference. It's mostly placebo. But if there is a difference, it is miniscule and border-line imperceptible.
@@TheReal4th OP is talking about Benny, the virtuoso, not the violins. In the end, as Twoset said, it is 80% the player, not the violins.
@@TheReal4th bro trust me
a true violin player can and will hear the difference
for you and me it's not so different because we are no experts (assuming you are not)
if my grandma would see a 400€ PC and a 3000€ PC next to each other, but all she can imagine on it is solitaire, she will see no difference
but me as a passionate af gamer that pours his energy into gaming and PC's will look at this from a lot more and a lot different perspectives and can clearly see the difference between the two
@@chickenbob562 That's an interesting take on it and a very good explanation. While I have never touched a violin, I can tell the subtle differences in the pitch. Also, the higher quality a violin is, the smoother the transition between notes seem to be like the difference between hollow and solid wood when you knock on it. That's my observation at least but yes: just like with any skill set, the more practiced you are in it, the easier it is to pick up on the nuances and tell what makes a proper tool for the job at hand.
@@TheReal4th I sing in front of an audience regularly and do music production a bit, that's about all the qualification I have for this. I listened to the differences twice, once with my 2.1 speakers and once with my 7.1 surround headphones and I hear the difference both times. Eddy's sounded a little rough especially on the G string, Brett's sounded muffled compared to Benny's more rounder and full sounding violin.
You guys blindfolded Benny, now run away with the violin 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@telgtx True story
I am more impressed of Benny's gentle behave. dude you're great .
I just saw Benny live in Taipei playing Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto! He was sooo good
Can we all appreciate the literal CLOUDS of rosin flying off the bow😂
that was my soul leaving my body tbh
Anime is shaking 😂
That part made me laugh for 2 minutes straight!
@Gerda Burkhardt um and you're sure you chose the right instrument 😂
I literally wrote a comment, then seen you say something about this and deleted it. I was like whaaat, he made that thing start smoking or something.
Love that Eddie and Brett were just wearing hoodies and then there’s the professional wearing/jacket a suit 😂
When you're being trusted enough to be loaned an instrument _that_ valuable, you wear a suit.
When you say hoodie you mean the almost $2000 gucci hoodie or the well over $1000 sweater
@@12jakepollock they're literally wearing clothes that look like they were 10 dollars. I love these guys, and the last thing they do is wear expensive clothing for no reason
too be fair he was wearing a suit but wasnt wearing shoes lol
When ur trying to look smart but a professional Embarrasses U By wearing a Suit and NOT a hoodie Big oof
oh man, They forgot to have a violin trio. It would have been epic.
The dust/rosin being expressed in the air is truly beautiful accompanied by those sounds. Imagine a dark backlit room of people just going at it seeing it shake off. Astounding.

Its 4:32
You're done? No, you're not. You live on youtube and clicked right on to the next video.
Michael C I honestly wish I did click on the next video. But I had to go to sleep because it was 3:40 in the morning
LMFAO
*Pieces in the video are:*
-Brahms Violin Concerto First Movement (1:48)
-Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto First Movement (8:18)
-Glazunov Violin Concerto Second Movement (10:49)
MANN I WAS LOOKING FOR THISS THANK YOUUU
Thanks man really needed that!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH. you had no idea how much I wanted to know what the last piece was called. ILY ❤️
Actually all of them was the 1st mov
@@VSophyCWell kind of but the glazunov is not divided in to movements in the score. But most people divide them in to 3 - 4 movements and the one in the video is the second movement. If you look it up you it's in the second movement.
I'm impressed how Benny can adapt to different violin to make it sound right in very short time like 5 seconds.
I have looked at your videos for a few hours. I have been awed at the giftedness of these musicians!!!!!!!!!
Ok, we can all agree - 80% player and 20% violin
Well there are certainly diminishing returns at a certain point. If they actually got a 'cheap' violin for comparison (~$500), there would be a very noticeable difference. However, Brett and Eddy already have good instruments; sure, they might not be worth millions, but they are by no means cheap. Of course, I have no way of knowing their instrument's price for sure, but I'd be surprised if they were less than $5000.
Proper setup is crucial, which can often be lost in the extremely low end of pricing range, so I would definitely say their estimate of $1000 (while likely a little low for their actual instruments) is a realistic if you want a guarantee that an instrument is set up correctly and won't have major issues that could impact your playing.
@@KevinWangz It's doubtful their instruments are below $10,000 -15,000. Few violinists progress through the collegiate level and into professional play without upgrading to a "pro-level" instrument. Usually if you're good enough to become professional the differences in a better instrument are more obvious to you and therefore upgrading is worth it. Cheaper violins simply don't project as easily or provide as good of tone closer to the bridge, however, a very excellent player can overcome this to some degree. You can definitely tell Benny struggles to produce the same piece on their violins and there are several notes that are lacking vibrancy and stand out compared to the del gesu. As with all things diminishing returns. A $100 violin will usually be 10x worse than a $1,000 violin. A $10,000 violin will probably be 2-3x better than a $1,000 instrument. Any of the $50k+ instruments are marginally better and mostly only have that value for rarity and prestige. Yes the Gesu sounded noticeably better than their violins but only with Benny playing, and he's so good he can almost make their violins sound like a million bucks too.
Paul D. sometimes i forget their instruments might be worth thousands of dollars (i looked up the maker of Brett’s violin) because they abuse it so much lmao and considering they were concertmasters in their respective orchestras, we can safely say their violins are definitely not cheap. i wonder about their bows, though, because i haven’t seen anyone talking about quality and price range of bows yet.
I can hear a difference.
*me knowing nothing about violins.
I can also hear a difference. No need to know anything about violing playing, it's more like reference listening. :')
Similar to "can you hear the difference between 128kbps, 320kbps and lossless audio".
or... Idk.. listening to different drum samples, like "this one sounds veiled, this has a tss sound and this is a hard kick"...
You can def hear a difference between the 10m one and the rest, with decent speakers/phones. Much more richer. I bet it's even more obvious irl.
yea me too. especially bc we already sampled both of their playing for the same piece and u could already tell the difference blindfolded or not-u would just need to first see who played which and then u will know. i honestly liked brett’s playing for this piece more!
This RUclips .... the audio quality is limited
That was some of the best violin tone I’ve ever heard. The Glazunov was _gorgeous_.
I love how in awe they are at a true talent...
This question is commonly asked so
THE PIECES THEY WERE PLAYING WERE:
3:40 - Brahms - Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 77
10:48 - (Benny on Eddy’s violin) Glazunov - Violin Concerto in A minor, Op. 82
I saved your time. Welcome. Like my comment as a sign of being sacrilegious.
You're a hero.
What's op. Stand for?
possibility28able opus
I was looking for this! Thank you!
Thanks so much
Benny looked like he had so much fun in this vid, I was worried that such a high worth musician would feel bored or something, good stuff!
Nah, makes sense he'd be having fun. Imagine a bartender from a 5-star establishment having a small party with a few friends where they make joke drinks and seeing what tastes worse/better. It's out of the ordinary and refreshing. The only 'professionals' who wouldn't enjoy fun activities are friendless snobs who likely suffered from narcissistic abuse at a young age.
HauntedShadowsLegacy that’s a bit to rude in the end
Benny aura is like a benevolent teacher (or master) to these two. He's rly calm..
I just ran into you guys. What a kick! You guys are fun, in beautiful music. What a great environment to learn! Thanks.
