Yeah but when you have adult size hands on an itty bitty instrument you can't necessarily play all the notes you could on a full size. I'm willing to bet that the distance between say an A and A# on a 1/16th is a few millimeters. Rather than a toy piano, a piano without the black keys may be a better comparison.

If this was a competition then the cellist surely won but that doesnt say that much since it still sounds like mosquitos

Brett's solo at 7:20 is impeccable

The 1/16 version is a nice experiment of microtones.

We should have the different sizes but in reverse, from 1/16 to 4/4, so the sound get better as the instruments “evolve”

It's a good lesson in the importance of projection and resonance for the sound of a string instrument... Only reason the cello sounded okay still though so small is because it still has room to resonate... It could make for a fun example based lesson for a child

So these 3-year old beginners sounding horrible - it's not their playing, it is the instruments! Seriously, 3/4 still sounded really good. Then it went downhill fast...

Okay that opening was chaotic as hell 😂😂😂😂

I think when they're at 1/2 size they still sound okay-ish, but when they switch to 1/4 it drastically changes 😂 and the beginning of the 1/8 somehow sounds like a questionable erhu 😂😂

Huge props to the viola for getting as much projection as she did from that teeny tiny little thing! As Brett and Eddy mentioned in a previous video, there are very few solo opportunities for solo viola, mainly because it's an instrument that doesn't project well at all. It takes SKILLS! Very well done! Color me impressed!

The 1/16 so small Min Jin marked her leg and was knee-gripping it without the endpin lol! Great show all!

2:30 It can only go downhill from here ... Edit: I was not disappointed.

They might as well call it "what a string quartet with exponentially decreasing sound quality sounds like."

I think something important to mention is that the full size instruments in addition to being bigger, are also much higher quality. For example, you can find 3/4 size instruments that are really really good, but they just arent available to them in this video.

Lol they started sounding like they were playing Shostakovich string quartet towards the end 😂😂

And in the end only the cello can use vibrato. Everyone else is in full blown survival mode. Noooo bow nooooooo bow. Fingerpiles galore. Love it!

If there was a soundtrack for my sanity for what happened during quarantine, it would sound exactly like this--slowly descending into madness

I thought it was really funny to see them play a violin that small and still managed to make music out of it 😂

I love how Brett’s still hella confused with the sound that’s coming out of his 1/16 violin after playing Navarra with it last year.

hooray minjin and Nicole are back!!

4:52 you can see Eddy laughing because his bow fell off the string, proper bow management becomes so difficult on a smaller instrument

I love how the cello just gradually animorphs into a viola

7:35 cello still has a respectable low voice!

Aw man, I remember when I was like 10 and small my teacher would tune my 2/4 cello and then instantly pull out a Dvorak concerto on it. He'd nail this challenge

Omg the laughter behind the scenes must've been amazing when they had to switch to the smaller instruments. 🤣

8:00 the duckling has emerged

watching them trying to keep a straight face is literally priceless

The 1/16 sounds like ants crying.

I love how all the projection suddenly just disappears at 1/8 XD

11:12 HOLY MOLY I'VE WAITING THAT FOR A LONG TIME LOL

They sounded great until the 1/4 size. I’m impressed! But really, nothing new here, I’m always impressed by Brett and Eddie, and company!

The music goes from beautiful to close to Brett's lofi to ambulance noises by the end

The video we didn't know we needed. This was so fun to watch! 0:44 - 4/4 size 2:30 - 3/4 size 4:24 - 1/2 size (smooth transition by the way) 6:03 - 1/4 size 7:19 - 1/8 size 8:43 - 1/16 size (also love how Eddy just kinda gave up at the end of the 1/8 section) Something writing this comment has made me really think about the fact that 1/2 string instruments are not actually half the size, and the same for every other size. Can any string players explain what the logic is behind the ratios in size of the instruments? Sincerely, Oscar Gill

A violin is measured from it’s shoulder, just beside the nose, to the edge by the end pin at the bottom, in inches using a tape measure. Full size, or 4/4 on a violin measures 14” 3/4 - 13” 1/2 - 12” 1/4 - 11” 1/8 - 10” 1/16 - 8” Violas, however, don’t have a ‘standard size’ as such, and anything from 15” - 17” is considered ‘standard’, with 16” being the most common. I don’t know how smaller violas work, one of my friends learnt viola on small violins tuned down a fifth, so perhaps that. As a violinist who has only ever had one viola (because my school orchestra has a surplus of violins, and three violas, including me), I’ve never had to play any other violas than my full size one. I’ve never measured it but now I’m curious xD

Even though this exercise was amusing and interesting, the selection of the music was one that forced me recall what the heck it was. Yes, Eddy mentioned it at first, but I scanned around to find the text, and couldn't. Then I listened again to the beginning. Ah! Dvořák - String Quartet No. 12 in F major, Op. 96 "American" !!! I chastised myself for recognizing the music, but not remembering the name. And I went to the 'Tube to find it, and even using Shazam! Eventually I found it in my iTunes anyway, hehehe, and now I want to thank the quartet for reminding me about this luscious bit of music again! It will be an earworm for the next few days. SALUT!

They have in the last few months led me to both new music and old music that might not have occurred if I had not taken the time to laugh and grin at this different size string quartet.

@@BFDT-4 Yep indeed... I often listen to the full version of pieces they play snatches of, and discover other TwoSetters doing likewise. One interesting evening for me was their 'Matching Classical Music to Famous Artwork' which led me to the Sculpty Works' reacting to it vid. He has a degree in Art and his choices of music were fascinating but then someone in those comments, who has a deep knowledge of music, threw in his opinion and these were more obscure pieces which I also listened to and imagined if they fitted the artwork better... or not. Of course it's all subjective. Next recommended was Sculpty Works' vid where he actually took up Brett & Eddy's challenge of assembling... or rather throwing together... a $60 violin. This was fascinating as he's a luthier and he took great pride in doing a top notch job. So one thing led to another and I wonder why even later nights are becoming the norm! I'm blaming TwoSet!! But it's all educational fun...
