Little hint: classical guitarists have extremely well filed nails on one hand and short nails on the other (this you can recognize the lefty ones too).
I’m a thereminist and do them too. My massagist looked at the top players of the world and noticed in a second that they’re all double jointed / hypermobile.
If they’re looking at calluses, maybe I should have sent pics to REALLY confuse them 😅. I play flute and piano and just started violin. But my calluses are from climbing and tennis 😂😂😂 Edit: I wrote this comment 10 months ago. And have never gotten more than a few comments/likes before. I just have to say for all of you lingling wannabes: you all are so talented and I’ve so enjoyed reading all of these replies. So happy to be a part of the gang
mood. Even if I did play an instrument, I feel like my hands would throw them off...my nails are random lengths (happen to longer on the right 4 main fingers now) because I just cut them as they get damaged, and I have a massive writing callous on my right thumb....the top joint is bigger and a different shape than the left because of how I write. And I have a callous on the top joint of my right middle finger because of how I knit.
3000 labelled hands would be an interesting dataset to train a neural network on. Would it be capable of classifying the instrument (or the instrument group) correctly?
Yesss, someone in the team please do it. Judging from this video, if they are representable to the 3000, consider similarity to across some instruments... perhaps 20% accuracy is good enough?
@@xuanzhiong3757 that would be 1/5 but I bet most of the submissions were piano and violin. Anyway you’d be surprised how accurate neural networks can get even with non-human tasks
Now that's an interesting idea, if they open the dataset to public maybe we can try it, but I think they will have legal problem by publishing possibly private data or without submitter consent? Idk
Also, it might be more efficient to have one neural network work out relative finger length, whether or not there are calluses, finger nail length, whether they're painted or not, and put all _that_ into another file for another neural network to work on.
I’m a pianist whose hands are the size of an average 12 year old’s. At this point, it’s 33% love of the instrument, 33% dedication to what I’ve been doing (admittedly not very consistently) since I was 6, and 33% sheer spite against the fact that I am Very Not Suited to it
I made it into a video! 🥺 Whilst you didn’t get classical guitar for me, you were still correct in that I do play viola too! 😁🤘 thanks to your friend for featuring me!
As a violinist, when I was younger there used to be lines on my fingers for a bit after playing for a while but evententually it got less and less. As a clarinetist, I have a bump/callous where on my right hand thumb
yeah i play clarinet too and i get a callous thingy on my right thumb. someone else i know who also plays clarinet has cork or something on their thumb rest so they dont have it
I never had callouses after playing violin either. I didn’t develop them until I started cello, and then only on my ring finger and pinky in the beginning.
Guys, let's make it clear once and for all. Lung size or lung capacity doesn't matter in wind instruments! It's the controll and efficiency of the player that matter, as well as teaching your brain that you're not going to die from not taking a new breath after blowing for 10-15 seconds.
Except flute. The instrument doesn't give any pushback on a flute so if you want to make some of those long phrases you have to have decent lung capacity.
I'm a not particularly tall flutist (1.60m), and this rule applies to flute as well. Yes, it does help to some extent to have bigger lungs but still, you can play long phrases without huge lungs.
As a clarinetist, lung capacity matters. But lung capacity is more about training than it is a physical characteristic - most people who don’t have a physical disability can build up enough capacity. And you can still play well even if you can’t, but it will definitely be harder - especially for instruments like bass clarinet that just take a lot of air.
I never developed callouses on my hand as a violinist, and yes I did practice quite often 😉 It wasn’t until I picked up cello as a minor in college that I developed callouses on my ring and pinky fingers, and only for the first few months.
I debated whether I should submit my hands or not, but I couldn't muster up the courage XD Lots of love and respect for everyone who did! Edit: I don't understand how I got so much likes in such a short amount of time, but I hope everyone is having a good day/night. I'm glad to know that I wasn't the only one who was stressed about submitting XD I'm sure some of us will participate in the future and trick Brett and Eddy!! Lots of love
2:22 my cello teacher had a photo of that painting in his studio and always referred to Adam's hand (on the left) as the perfect bowhold and God's hand (on the right) as the perfect left hand extension! Even though the hands are swapped haha.
I wonder if you guys would be able to guess my hands. I'm a flute player, but I don't have very long or elegant fingers like I imagine other flute players having. xD I guess my perception of the ideal flute hands also comes from my perception of the ideal piano hands-- my childhood friend Michael, who has the most beautiful, long fingers!! The parts where you guys were like "oh, there's nails, they can't play piano" puzzled me because Michael always kept their nails crazy long when we were young and still played piano like a pro!! xD
My fingers are kinda short too. But in the brand where I play other flutists have long nails and I can see they struggle with open holes😅 One of them still can't play the low notes after years and her fingers are in a very strange position >< (but maybe she just doesn't practice🤷♀️)
Playing with long nails is extremely frustrating. Sometimes you have to curl your fingers to press the keys with the tips. And the right pieces will cause you to hit a key between your finger and nail. Not a fun experience.
I have long, painted(lol) nails and play the piano just fine, only have had one chip in the last few months. Also, it makes it so I can reach some chords that previously were not possible for me!
As a recorder player, I'm glad one of us were selected for review. As someone with type 1 diabetes, all the marks where I prick my fingers for blood testing would have thoroughly confused Brett and Eddy.
I was so confident that William plays classical guitar when I saw his nails hahah. The nail shape is so unique and recognisable as I play classical guitar as well. I actually wanted to submit my hand photo cuz some of my nails were perfect but my middle finger nail split and I had to cut it. Unfortunately I only saw the post after the ddl. Still, shout out to classical guitarists out there!
one thing i love about the recorder is that they come in so many different sizes. some are better for small hands and some are better for big hands, but most can be played by most people.
@@morusalba6405 Yes!! I do have a quite uneven fingers and thus for some of my fingers the bigger recorders are better and for some the smaller. Recorder is just vertisile.
Let's make this happen: Playing Fan's pieces, String Quartet edition Could be awesome *speaking of that, i have an idea for any fan doing this: ask Twoset to tune down their violin little bit, and little bit throughout the piece would ask them like tune them as like a melody
As a horn player, I would say that it depends on how you place your fingers on the keys. If you mainly use the top of your fingers to press the keys, like I do, longer nails on the left hand are really annoying. I always cut mine very short. Many people play with the pad of the fingers though, and in that case it doesn't really matter. The right hand doesn't matter either way.
4:19 I knew right away when they noticed the blister on his knuckle that he is a trumpet player! I play the clarinet, piano, ukulele, and alto saxophone, and it can be painful to hold up the whole saxophone with your thumb because of how straight/bent back it has to be to play properly, but I haven't gotten any calluses or blisters from it yet. 😅
The moment I saw the harp one, I didn't even notice the fact that the pinkies didn't have calluses. I just saw the bigger callus on the left middle finger and I immediately knew
2:56 saw the pic and immediately went "classical guitar" and the whole time they were discussing it, my only thought was "Come on, that's clearly classical guitar!" The reveal made me so unreasonably happy :D It's been a while since I've played myself with life being hectic... I think it's time to clip and file my nails and get back into practice. :D
You guys have no idea how much you helped me lately, it has been a bad and stressful month the whole last January and having so many old videos of yours to watch and so many new ones gave me a lot of material to get distracted. I even used some videos that I knew by heart as a background to fall asleep (only to suddenly remember that their volume was often NOT suitable to sleep at all!). Thank you!
I like this episode a lot because I personally enjoy observing others’ hands, especially athletes and instrument performers. You can really tell their hard work just by looking at their hands.
That trumpeter is such a chad, his left hand is about the worst posture possible with his thumb literally inside the trumpet and his pinkie gripping the ring as tightly and stressfully as possible
Playing guitar and violin is a bit awkward at times. I cut my nails normally for my left hand, but I need long nails on my right for my acoustic guitar (I prefer classical with short nails, but it's impractical for the steel strings of the acoustic). I compromised, with my thumb and pinky being cut normally, so I can hold the bow correctly, and all the rest are long
Same! 😂 But I play double bass and classical guitar, and I have only 3 fingers with semi-long nails. Long nails on right hand is actually hindering for playing pizz on bass so I have to find the right length that can compromise for playing both 🤯
lmao same here! like half of my right thumbnail is filed off and my pinky is short but then the rest are long and my left hand is just short. my roommate (who’s got a whole nail business) has a heart attack every time she sees them but oh well 😭
Now that could be embarrassing. I've been learning violin for 4 months and at a stage that some would reach in a fortnight... but hey, it's not a competition and I'm looking to the next 15 years before I'm half decent!
I will never get over the fact of how happy they look at the very beginning of this episode and this happy "hello everyone!!" from brett skskksk i seriously thrive on their happiness
Yeah, the classical guitar one was pretty obvious, especially with the pinky on the right hand being clipped down. My hands currently look exactly like that.
As a classical guitarist I knew immediatly that number 4 is also a classical guitarist. My mother always complains how weird it looks that one hand has long nails and the other hand short one :'D
LMAO as a flautist, I was checking my hands throughout the video and as soon as the flautist came up I did a comparison and went "yup, definitely flute!"
It was weirdly validating to see the pianist short fingernails thing get mentioned because I've always kept my nails short and have a vague impression of it being piano related since I've played since I was a kid, but watching this-yeah, it's a thing!
I contemplated whether to submit, but I'm a bit unsecure about my playing (which sucks), and also, my right hand thumb's nail recently broke (which should be a dead giveaway). BTW, was surprised by William having a long nail on a pinky, and also having a reasonably short nail on the thumb - most classical guitarists grow themselves a monster there.
My thumb nail had also recently broke! 🤣🤷♂️ though I’ve never been one for the ‘monstrous’ long thumb myself. I clip my pinky short every once and a while, when I remember to! 😅
I feel like being rickrolled stopped being annoying years ago and now when someone gets you with it you just appreciate the fact that the circle is still going
I was surprised that Brett actually remembered bassoon existed and even guessed it once lol. It would so awesome to see twoset do an episode about learning bassoon.
Seems like they don't have any friends who play guitar and recorder (not in the orchestra), otherwise they would know: - How a guitarist's hands look like (most obvious hands ever) - Recorder players are like percussionists, they play the whole range of their instrument. And trust me, long fingers are hella useful to play a bass recorder, even the tenor.
I play the piano and harp and tried to learn classical guitar for a while. It was terrible because I couldn't keep my nails long and my calluses were on the wrong part of my fingers. (Also do any other harpists live with rolls of surgical tape in their bags so they can tape their fingers so tight they can't feel any pain?)
My oh my, putting up with pain for your art! When I watched TwoSet learning to play harp in an hour, I couldn't believe the massive callouses on Tijana's hands!
0:11 you can't believe people submitted their hands? Well, you should realize that when you ask, no matter how ridiculous, your fans will support you 🥰🥰🥰
As a fellow trombonist I have the same hands as them and I think it’s kinda cool. On the left hand you can see the bump on the middle finger and how the pointer and thumb are sorta separate from the other fingers. And on the right hand the fingers other than the pinky are somewhat clumped together. Also on my hand (can’t really tell if it’s on their hand), on my right ring finger I have a shiny spot that’s both from holding my pencil and my trombone. We also have the same sort of stocky hands. (Gonna say their name so click off if you don’t want it spoiled) Brett that was some cool playing too 👍
I was looking for this! At one point, when I increased my practice time too quickly, the bump on my left middle finger ended up inflating stupidly big. Would have been funny to send in a picture like that, although this one was obvious enough if you know what to look for.
6:19 I immediately recognized the harpist's calluses! *Harp gang uniiite* It's so painful when after a while whithout playing they are gone, and you must to start again with tons of string tension😭
... I gotta say, as an illustrator, I really appreciate all these hand photo references.
Yessss, especially 'Roger this Roger that'
especially the guy that posed his hands LMFAO
I was thinking about how I need to mix up the type of hands I draw on people lol
Nah I just draw my own hands or I steal my brothers
Lmao true
Little hint: classical guitarists have extremely well filed nails on one hand and short nails on the other (this you can recognize the lefty ones too).
i think that goes for most types of guitarists. they also likely have callouses, which weren't there in the first picture
It's soooo recognizable! Their nails have a super specific shape, are super damn long and are always so smoothly filed. And ofc it's only one hand.
Not only classical lol
Yeah, I think it's the easiest. Also maybe the stiff calluses on the left fingers
In left image Ther was a guitar case in front of the wardrobe in the left hand picture
Honestly, Brett's gut is impressive. That's why he wins all the time 😂
Ya

Yea right? He's an intuition animal.

When I saw the hands of the pianist I knew that he was a pianist, only my people would do so many strange gestures with their hands

Playing guitar and violin is a bit awkward at times. I cut my nails normally for my left hand, but I need long nails on my right for my acoustic guitar (I prefer classical with short nails, but it's impractical for the steel strings of the acoustic). I compromised, with my thumb and pinky being cut normally, so I can hold the bow correctly, and all the rest are long
Same! 😂
But I play double bass and classical guitar, and I have only 3 fingers with semi-long nails. Long nails on right hand is actually hindering for playing pizz on bass so I have to find the right length that can compromise for playing both 🤯
same bro! i play violin and guitar, my right hand is a confused nail mess
lmao same here! like half of my right thumbnail is filed off and my pinky is short but then the rest are long and my left hand is just short. my roommate (who’s got a whole nail business) has a heart attack every time she sees them but oh well 😭
Use finger picks. It will solve your problems
@@RodrigoSilva-cy4no Finger picks can never match the sound of natural nails, at least not the ones i've tried.
The dog was the best of them all, not gonna lie. These type of videos are so fun.
The moment she started playing the cello I got goosebumps. Just enjoyed it.
ahhh i immediately know the first guitarist simply because of how their left hand's pointer and pinky finger naturally bent inwards...
Watching this makes me realize how soothing classic guitar is. The sound is like an oasis in the desert.
"Lot of them were rickrolls, thank you very much for them"
This is why I love these guys ❤
Next: guessing hands by looking at instruments
I remember the piece that french horn player was playing.
Its bring back my memory of my solos song.
No but as a classical guitar player, those are some of the prettiest guitar nails I’ve seen, like I’m actually jealous
fun video idea: people send audio recordings of their playing and brett and eddy guess how long they've been playing
Now that could be embarrassing. I've been learning violin for 4 months and at a stage that some would reach in a fortnight... but hey, it's not a competition and I'm looking to the next 15 years before I'm half decent!
THEY ACTUALLY DID IT I SAW THEIR INSTA STORY
@@thecatsays4666 IKR I WAS REWATCHING THIS VIDEO AND I SAW THE COMMENT LIKE OMG 😮
I will never get over the fact of how happy they look at the very beginning of this episode and this happy "hello everyone!!" from brett skskksk i seriously thrive on their happiness
Yeah, the classical guitar one was pretty obvious, especially with the pinky on the right hand being clipped down. My hands currently look exactly like that.
I thought it was pretty obvious too! 🤷♂️🤣
I NEED THAT PRACTICE SHIRT NOW
As a classical guitarist I knew immediatly that number 4 is also a classical guitarist. My mother always complains how weird it looks that one hand has long nails and the other hand short one :'D
*Me regretting not sending photos of my hands because I'm a pianist but also have small hands*
LMAO as a flautist, I was checking my hands throughout the video and as soon as the flautist came up I did a comparison and went "yup, definitely flute!"
Do you by any chance know the peace Natasha played?? I would really like to listen to more of it
@@gabrielaalves7265 @Esra Uzuner found it, it's The Snowstorm II.Waltz from Sviridov
I like Eddie’s hair was sticking up the whole video.
It was weirdly validating to see the pianist short fingernails thing get mentioned because I've always kept my nails short and have a vague impression of it being piano related since I've played since I was a kid, but watching this-yeah, it's a thing!
8:14 "violinists calluses don't go that deep" erm brett have you seen hilary's photo of her hands?
was posted after this video was made
I contemplated whether to submit, but I'm a bit unsecure about my playing (which sucks), and also, my right hand thumb's nail recently broke (which should be a dead giveaway). BTW, was surprised by William having a long nail on a pinky, and also having a reasonably short nail on the thumb - most classical guitarists grow themselves a monster there.
My thumb nail had also recently broke! 🤣🤷♂️ though I’ve never been one for the ‘monstrous’ long thumb myself. I clip my pinky short every once and a while, when I remember to! 😅
I enjoy knowing the fact that some of the submissions were rickrolls, i was waiting for this video!
I feel like being rickrolled stopped being annoying years ago and now when someone gets you with it you just appreciate the fact that the circle is still going
Lung Capacity Video:
Flutes: Try me.
The only reason i play violin because of you guys thank you
Same and a relative noob. Can't wait to be able to say I can 'play' the violin. There is SO much to learn...
I was surprised that Brett actually remembered bassoon existed and even guessed it once lol. It would so awesome to see twoset do an episode about learning bassoon.
Wow...Brett's gut instinct is amazing... 😳😳😳
This made me happy on a tough day! Thanks!
A clarinetist right hand is a dead give away.
Seems like they don't have any friends who play guitar and recorder (not in the orchestra), otherwise they would know:
- How a guitarist's hands look like (most obvious hands ever)
- Recorder players are like percussionists, they play the whole range of their instrument. And trust me, long fingers are hella useful to play a bass recorder, even the tenor.
Definitely needing more guitarist friends in their life! 😅
10:56 why did eddy start throwing gang signs
The doggo troll was so cute!
I would've sent my recorder hands, but I missed the deadline.
Tiger mum always comes out "so stupid" wahahaha Eddyyyy
10:58 is when gojo remembered mahoraga exists
Omg Eddy’s giggle when the dog showed her face🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
As a harp player, I can relate to the picture. My hands look just like hers 😊
Yeah, the calluses and the weak pinkie 😂
@@kodafleb3903 😂 my pinkie is just useless, it has no strengh whatsoever 😅
@@laurimarch5291 right angle 💪
I play the piano and harp and tried to learn classical guitar for a while. It was terrible because I couldn't keep my nails long and my calluses were on the wrong part of my fingers. (Also do any other harpists live with rolls of surgical tape in their bags so they can tape their fingers so tight they can't feel any pain?)
I always have bandages, cream, nail nippers and a nail file (for the calluses) with me
My oh my, putting up with pain for your art! When I watched TwoSet learning to play harp in an hour, I couldn't believe the massive callouses on Tijana's hands!
“Waste of big hands” 😂😂😂 that was funny
10:49 “haters will say it’s fake”
I’m not a hater but I did see a hand over the paw…
Reply if you saw👇
Love when we get to see the TwoSet community! Such a talented bunch!!!
0:11 you can't believe people submitted their hands? Well, you should realize that when you ask, no matter how ridiculous, your fans will support you 🥰🥰🥰
Brett really looking like the main character of a Korean School Manhwa
2:45 BRO HE FINE THO
The chaos of people who cut their nails on one hand but not the other is going to drive me insane
Brett and Eddy: 10:20
Me: Are there not bigger recorders?
As a fellow trombonist I have the same hands as them and I think it’s kinda cool.
On the left hand you can see the bump on the middle finger and how the pointer and thumb are sorta separate from the other fingers. And on the right hand the fingers other than the pinky are somewhat clumped together. Also on my hand (can’t really tell if it’s on their hand), on my right ring finger I have a shiny spot that’s both from holding my pencil and my trombone. We also have the same sort of stocky hands.
(Gonna say their name so click off if you don’t want it spoiled)
Brett that was some cool playing too 👍
I can agree with that! i also have a little calluse on my left thumb on the 2. joint...
I was looking for this! At one point, when I increased my practice time too quickly, the bump on my left middle finger ended up inflating stupidly big. Would have been funny to send in a picture like that, although this one was obvious enough if you know what to look for.
1:45 a measurement of their ... ...
Phew those hand movements threw me off eddy
6:19 I immediately recognized the harpist's calluses! *Harp gang uniiite* It's so painful when after a while whithout playing they are gone, and you must to start again with tons of string tension😭
the ad for this video was for a bank- worth it for the video tho
