As a cellist, I can confirm, it *is* the rosin that made it work. The bow itself is just to throw everyone off the scent.

this guy's bow skills are so good. This episode is like different orchestra sections vibing together, I like how wholesome that is.

james applying that rosin had the strongest little cousin energy and i can't elaborate any further because im still half asleep

Not gonna lie, using the tiny cello as a bow actually could have instrumental possibilities with its ability to both play and pluck strings at the same time

Mr. James ripping out his hair and playing cello with it was frankly mindblowing.

I'm so grateful for this video. I played violin for like a decade of my childhood and love the sound of a bow on strings, so when I heard about ebows, I was intrigued to know what it (and other bows) would sound like on the harp (which is what I play now). Well, now I know! It's not a worthwhile investment! Thanks! This video was tremendously informative 🙂

Thanks so much! I’m so glad I could help 😊

Thanks for today's episode, I was feeling a little bit ebowtional, so this cheered me right up. Today, I learned that cellos don't actually do anything, they're just there so the rosin has something to rub against and make sick toans. And the more bows, the better it sounds. Now that you have used the world's tiniest cello to play a normal sized one, you are legally obligated to go to that museum with the world's largest double bass and use a normal sized cello to play that. Personally, I've always used the Jonny Greenwood quarter trick where you rub the edge of a quarter on the string, but that would probably shred any string other than steel so quickly. Mr. James came ready to throw bows, and for that, we salute him, and for his strength in thrashing and flapping. Also, just smacking the harp strings with reverb speaks to the little avant-garde part of my heart; maybe some dulcimer hammers next? Today, I found something to sustain me, a rosin to live. Thank you, and take care. I wonder if corn silk can be used in a bow-like context... (Also how did we not have Scissors Em in the Emily bracket. just give her a giant scissor like Faust's giant scalpel in Guilty Gear.)

I loved the "patting your head and rubbing your belly" analogy. I recently started working on double bass vibrato while bowing, and that "patting head/rubbing belly" analogy was my exact same thought. You're trying to keep the bowing even and consistent, without obvious pulsing -- all while trying to work on left hand vibrato and different rates. I'm glad that I practiced patting my head and rubbing my belly when I was younger. (Oh, and the rosin on the strings when you typically play pizzicato!!!)

Delightful creative nothingness 💖🎶🎻 It's the first time that I have watched one of your videos all the way through. You have a nutty chemistry with James. I play guitar, but I play with a lot of fiddle players and have a buddy who builds fiddles and restrings bows. I think a bow with the harp to play a drone while you pluck sounds cool. Have you made a video of tuning the harp? How well does it stay in tune with temperature and humidity changes?

That was fun, Mr. James 🙂

Thank you Mr. James :) This was coooool :)

Mister James was right about the rosin though. I played in the backup band for a country fiddler and one of his tricks was to break bow hairs on purpose (on a sacrificial bow of course) for dramatic effect. He'd cut the broken ones after each show and use it again until they were all gone. I remarked that the bow had gotten pretty bare and I wasn't sure he'd have anything left to make sound with after he broke some on the next set, but he told me it didn't matter. He had enough rosin on the stick to get through the song.

This is the funniest music channel on KZread by a long shot 🤣🤣🥰

That part with human hair reminds me of the time my friends and I used the (long) hair still attached to our heads on our violins and violas 😂 it really does work! Great fun. Though as someone who now takes much better care of their hair than I did then, I really can't recommend it - using shed hairs would be best 👍
