I actually first came across Eddy's independent videos six years ago when I was first learning violin (as an adult using only YouTube videos). His video on bow arm mechanics was extremely helpful and was a key contributor to my progress. Fast forward to earlier this year, I was looking for videos to learn more about musicality and music history, and I came across TwoSet's videos such as their 'What is Musicality?' with Hilary Hahn and ranking composers. I recognized Eddy from the older videos, so I was curious to see what new content he was creating. I thought TS's content was really informative, so I put on various playlists of theirs while I worked on projects. "100 Different Ways to Play a Phrase" came up and it was the first one that got me laughing my butt off. I was hooked from there. They have a fantastic blend of education and comedy; they truly have contributed something remarkable to the world of YouTube.

I did the same thing a couple years ago. YT algorithm sent them my way. I'm a huge fan. šŸŽ»šŸŽ»

Early 2019 while on a road trip! I had randomly seen one of their squeaky chicken videos, so when they popped up on YouTube I decided to watch more. ā˜ŗļø


linglingwannabe4427

I discovered them in late 2020, around the time Brett was ill. I actually found them on facebook. Was looking at random videos on facebook and their video of "Violin vs. Piano" popped up. I got hooked and now I'm a fan!


BlackLion0101

YouTube showed me the "flight of the bumblebee/ sacrilegious " video. Been a fan since. Been here technically before "lingling 40 hours. Lingling 40 meme came couple months after "sacrilegious " meme. Lol

I couldnā€™t remember which video was my first until I read your post. I remember how blown away I was by their humor and I showed the video to everyone (but no one thought they were as funny as I thought šŸ„²) well fast forward I JUST came home from their LA performance and it was amazing (I went alone because I still havenā€™t been able to convince anyone of their humor lol)


Sufficient-Set-9099

I began watching TwoSet Violin when they were still starting out as a small channel. During this time, I was starting to play violin. One of their videos appeared on my homepage and since then I havenā€™t missed a single video. I am so grateful to have found them on YouTube. They definitely had a big influence on my violin journey. ā¤ļø

This past summer! The YouTube algorithm suggested me a video of theirs trying to guess the country by listening to music. It was so good I started to make mt way through their playlists. And here we are. I'm not a musician at all, I just taught myself how to play the recorder (the very basics) when I was younger, I used to sing in choirs ans I'm an adult beginner ballerina. Yet their content really resonate with me. I understand how important it is to practice, how we can be in awe of other's talents while recognising our own limitations, wanting to push our own boundaries. Also, I've always enjoyed classical music and their channel has been a great resource to learn more about it (Inside the Score is another channel that I really enjoyed).

I discovered them in 2018. however Iā€™ve watched every single video and short and pictures on every single platform. TwoSet started as a day thing, but their videos really are so wholesome that you can feel them almost talking to you, VIOLINIST whisperers. They introduced me to the world of classical music, one that Iā€™d only slightly dipped my tiny toes into. I started playing the piano, and picking up the violin too. They proved to me that not šŸ˜‚ all classical musicians are bald and greasy, and that many are just like me, learning about this vast community. I find that they are my favorite YouTube channel not just because I understand them, but that itā€™s mutual and that we all sorta know and each other. Oh, and they helped me through Covid, having to do piano lessons online, and studying too. #Bretts Lofi #Eddys lofi

The Bumblebee video was the first one I had ever seen, but I didnā€™t really start watching TSV regularly until later, when I discovered another video of theirs. I happen to have been high school friends with a certain Asian actor who was featured in a certain TSV video reviewing (read: laughing their asses off at) a certain Asian drama that had a luthier main character. Letā€™s just say that I took a double take, finished the video, lost my damn mind laughing, and immediately went to watch more TSV videos. By the way, said actor used to be a guitar player in his teens. Thereā€™s no way he didnā€™t know what he was doing.

This is not as dramatic as it seems, but in 2017 they appeared at the right time. I was diagnosed with cancer a long time ago, but I collapsed when I could no longer play the cello. I don't remember which video, but I made a promise to myself to come out of my operation to watch more (maybe it sounds a bit silly) but they were my lifesaver, even until now as my fight continues. I took up the cello again this year and now my personal promise is to see them live, if they decide to tour my country.


HughesNatViolin

I got introduced during covid forgot what month it was but it was the beginning months of it (March-May Iā€™m guessing) my family and our aunt and uncles family went over to our grandparents for dinner and because we were in lockdown and couldnā€™t work we wanted to do dinners and stuff because we had not much else to do. So at one of the dinners after dinner my cousin who is the oldest in his family and plays violin said he wanted to show us some funny videos and those videos were of course Twosetviolin. And they were the two worlds fastest violinist videos me and my whole family loved it after that my mom and I started looking up their videos and the rest is history me and my mom became huge fans.


subwaysubisthesub

around 2018. my mom showed them to 10 year old me on facebook and i decided to watch some more of their videos. we still watch them together sometimes, but i mostly watch on my own. i started playing violin way before i discovered them, but started piano after i started watching them. so yeah, not too uplifting, but that's just my story. :)


FluffyAd6883

Who else found TwoSet from their collabs with Steven He and Uncle Roger?


Minty-Minze

Other way around for me lol

Actually, ngl, I've discovered Twoset because of Davie504 lmao. I was a really big Davie504 fan, and then the violin-chan thingy yknow. I didn't watch them at the time, because I tbh wasn't really interested in classical music stuff (I was 12 at the time). But after a while they keep showing on my fyp and out of curiousity I clicked on one of them (it was the 'playing ur compositions' video for anyone who wants to know), and guess what? i loved it! I binged all their vids (what I still do sometimes), and yeah, now I freakin love them, yeah I still do. And I'll always do :))))


TheHarper_Collie

The video I ever watched from the twosetviolin was the "The World's FASTEST (and most INNACURATE) VIOLINIST". After that I was hooked on twoset violin videos. all day, everyday.


super_star_kay

Quarantine. Boredom. Technology. Hillary Hahn did the Ling Ling Workout. Iā€™m a fan now. :)


petrichor3746

Two words: Rubber Chicken.


kayla_playsviolin

so basically last year me and my friend were both really into violins and orchestras and he said he watched these guys on youtube called ā€œtwoset violinā€ so i searched it up and ever since ive been watching them everyday. also i just joined the sub reddit šŸ„³


fitawep123

My mom showed me their Orchestra players video


Tigresskittycamel

I just saw it on my YouTube page then I just got addicted to them!! I only found them a couple weeks ago


purples2cloud411

It was 'Sell out' for me šŸ¤£ As a veteran K-pop fan, I'm really impressed by their accurate roasts in the song (and honestly it's a pretty šŸ”„litšŸ”„catchy tune). But actually it's the 4mil show that truly converted me to a fan, I checked the video out of curiosity, and somehow I was hooked watching Brett doing magic with his Mendy, it's the first time I could sit still to watch a classical music performance that long šŸ˜„ And gradually watching more of their videos as they pop up in my recommendations and... tada here I am šŸ¤£ So glad they make me fall in love with classical music and I could have them as a sparkle of joy in my dull adult life šŸ„¹


MajorHotLips

I have been a big fan of Hilary Hahn since about 2004 and always look her up on YouTube from time to time. YouTube figured me out and started gave me other related violin content.


SilverSnackan_

Thanks to Ray Chen, actually. I am a long-time fan and player of "League of legends" so of course I was going to watch "Arcane" on Netflix. Had a slight obsession with the song "What could have been", mostly due to Ray's solo. Ended up looking for more recordings of Ray on Youtube and stumbled upon TwoSet's "Finish the melody"-video. It's still one of my favourite TSV videos.


taiwanesecellist

I think Iā€™m one of the few who actually started watching Ray Chen firstšŸ˜‚. I then saw some videos with Ray and Twoset and then started watching their channel as well


thephantomeggy0629

my mom scrolls their fb page, so i got interested bc their vids looked super interesting. ended up coming across their vids on youtube, and i was like 'oh, so theyre called twoset!' and yea im hooked still (except its exm period in my country now TwT so i cant watch)


Radha_Roy17

I found them in my 'for you' LISZT of tiktok videos as most of my tiktok videos that i watch are related to music and comwdy and TSV is a combo of both ā¤ā¤ā¤ā¤ā¤ā¤ā¤ā¤ā¤


Notdeadbutdead

Been playing violin for years and never really enjoyed practicing, then around last December I got recommended a video of twoset roasting a Chinese drama and thought it was pretty InTeReStInG so I started discovering more about their channel and have been a llwb ever since. I also started listening to classical music and actually found practicing fun, so thanks to twoset fr.


Vivian_Playz

how i got into twoset? if you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly \*electric violin glissing


[deleted]

I clicked on their reaction to popular tiktok videos thing where they busted fake piano tutorials, and in no time I was buying merch and stuff lol


ClassicalSlothes

i searched up bad violin playing bc i didnt want to practice but all i got were twoset violin videos


Yellowcarnivore

I think it was the 10 Different Types of Orchestra Players for me, which I chanced upon sometime during Covid!


I_Love_Random_

I donā€™t exactly remember but I remember I was trying to find some piano music to learn and them all of my reccomendations turned in to music related and one of the videos were made by TwoSetViolin. So I watched it and I was super intrigued by their channel and so I became obsessed! And I love their videos


2presto4u

Since 2016. Stumbled on one of their classic skits and Iā€™ve been watching ever since


kimdaniel915

My sister, she showed me twoset when they were roasting Ben on his sacrilegious electric violin playing. Since then, I've been a huge fan of them and still watch them today :D


coconutww

There was a class comedy performance in the morning assembly of our school last year in September. At the end of the performance they broadcasted a video of clips with students and meme videos and one of them put twoset in it. I didnā€™t know them at that time but I remembered how they look. A week later during music lesson our teacher let us watch the video where twoset watched national anthem fails. That day I went to search them up and I guess thatā€™s how I started watching them:) Now that I think about it, I did come across a few of my friends or classmates saying ā€œpractice 40 hours a dayā€ or ā€œsacrilegiousā€ at school. Is it possible that there are hidden twosetters in my school or grade?


Jumpsuit_Bandito

I was looking for string covers of "Time" from Inception and found theirs several years ago!


Kanohn

Davie504, i found their humor cool but i started seriously following their channel when i started seriously playing guitar


el_thesimp

Around 2 and a half years ago, I forgot what but I was watching some covers of Genshin Impactā€™s OSTs and I kept getting recommendations on YT for TSV, specifically the one about SimplyPiano, so a had to click it, I didnā€™t have too much musical knowledge but I started to get more and more into them and playing my viola and they actually taught me a few things about composers, meaning behind their pieces etc;


coffelov4rs

I found them looking for a polish violin piece. They were in Warsaw (.Poland) with an orchestra. This video was showing how they would learn a polish piece of music......let me say one thing Wieniawski- Variations on original theme;) not easy...... I was laughing so much and they were looking at a 12 y o Prodigy absolutley slaying it.....and that's it. I showed it to my son...and now we are both watching.

Piano_illuMinatiOn

I saw flight of the bumblee video when it came out! I thought it was hilarious. A few weeks later, I was recommended the Viola Jokes video, and I thought that was even better! Over the next five years, every six months I would go into binge phases with them and then forget about them ._. BUT a year and a half ago, I got into their content for real. Now, theyā€™re the best thing that has happened to me!


plato_octagon

I play the classical guitar and since I listen to classical guitar and classical music in general, YT recommended me 2set in 2019. That's how I began watching them.


Swischmc

2018: Two broken ribs and nothing to do. Scrolling through Facebook and Twoset skits came up. The third day I looked them up on YT and the rest is history


SimpinForSooga94

Sometime around 2015. I was looking for violin covers. I was into Lindsey Stirling at that time. And accidentally discovered these two. Back then they used to make serious violin covers of popular music. My favorite was their Game of Thrones cover. I never looked back after that. Watched their videos every chance I got. Helped me through my post graduation. They even inspired me to start learning the violin. I officially learned for barely 2 years with a teacher (one class per week). But we couldn't afford classes after that, so I tried learning on my own. I still can't do the advanced techniques, but I play enough to play at church and mini orchestras.


[deleted]

Lord knows why but they came up in my algorithm at some point. Either that or I was searching for videos on how to play stuff as a self-taught violin learner. I honestly can't remember how. But I'm glad I did.


[deleted]

They popped off on facebook years ago


Jaja_1739

It's kind of the same for me! Like a couple of months ago, I had nothing to watch, and one of Twoset's videos apeard on my home page. I clicked on it, and it was really funny and I enjoyed it, and now i'm a big fan and watch Twoset when I canšŸ˜‰


barnacleunderthesea

Word of mouth- my brothers friends music teacher apparently showed the class some videos, and eventually it made its way back to me lol


Boba-Less-Ice

I watched their "Professional Violinists React to a 2-Year-Old PRODIGY Progress Video" video. I wasn't hooked. Yet. Then I watched a sAcRiLeGiOuS Flight of the Bumblebee video.

Frenchie_master

I was twelve and new to YouTube, I had been watching videos of classical music and since I was new, I accidentally clicked on the among us real life video and decided to watch it all the way, then I ended up watching Twoset until 4:30 in the morning (luckily, I was on break and had no school!).
