    Erhu player here, the signs are very clear to me: 1) the most obvious is the way her left-hand purlicue is not securely anchoring the neck. She would not be able to shift positions at all with just the thumb loosely placed on the neck.
    2) her rigid right wrist. A player's wrist should be at opposite 45 degrees angles to their lower arm when pushing or pulling the bow. The way her middle and ring fingers grip the bow stick is also not ideal.
    3) the neck of the erhu shouldn't tilt so much sideways, especially when the left-hand positioning is high. If the left-hand position is low (towards the soundbox), leaning forward or slightly sideways would be more reasonable.

    i'm a folk violinist and some of the bow holds i see on a day to day basis are freaking terrifying... some people look like they've never played before but when they do the sound is beyond anything i've ever heard. just goes to show that playing 'the correct way' and having every classical element doesn't always guarantee a better result (though i really envy classical musicians and wish i could do what they do)

    This was a difficult one. The guys that faked were mostly coached on how to pose, especially the brass. I didn't see one decent embouchere (mouth shape, for those who dont know). Generally guys that are faking are easy to spot by musicians that don't. You guys didn't do to badly. Except you don't trust your instincts. You need a very good reason not to trust your first reaction; because it's not filtered by any preconceptions. Thats why the old exam rule of follow the first answer that comes to mind works so well. Don't get stuck on the details; that's where the devil hides.

    • @lunaballuna
      @lunaballuna Před rokem +3

      I also don't think the chin rest matters to judgment all that much. In symphony, we were taught how to play without it and most of us never used it. Considering my high school was one of the best in the country and I played first-chair violin, I can confidently say it doesn't affect your playing ability. So using it as a decider for real or fake doesn't really work. Now, if it's being used and it's backward, then yeah, that would help determine the fakeness of it.

    To start, I am a cellist. The cellist that had the awkward left hand, the positioning is correct. The thumb gets just, in the way when playing high enough, so it can be used as a way to help position your fingers with the correct distancing between them. It also helps the thumb do something useful instead of so much getting in the way. It's just a nice way to tell where to shift back to and such.

    The second saxophonist I knew was real because even though the pose is unrealistic - the instinct to put the mouthpiece in your mouth properly even when you're posing or messing about is too strong 🤣. I played clarinet for nearly 10 years, and saxophone for a few of those towards the end and even though it's been 10 years since I've played consistently I naturally put my vape in my mouth with that embouchure 😅

    As a singer, I'm so happy that I caught the "singer" Rike (11:08). Mostly through the way she holds her binder. Your arms would not survive a long concert like a requiem with that binder hold and she is looking too far down, so poor posture and you can't see the conductor, or follow singers you're performing with. Lastly, her jaw looked very tense (even Eddy caught that). But I could've thought that she was a beginner in like high school choir. As a singer, I would have dressed up as formal as possible and position myself in front of a piano (maybe with a pianist poser) just looking like a confident diva that would have been hard to tell if you're a singer or not. Good job to everyone!

    I'm a voice student. (I'm also a beginner pianist)
    There are 3 ways you can tell if she was actually real or fake.
    1) Her posture. You need to have a completely straight back so that your diaphragm is open (if that makes sense, idk how to explain it.), which actually looks ok in the picture. But, she looks tense. You need to be relaxed to sing.
    2) Her mouth shape. That's a vowel shape, but very rarely would you want that shape while singing. Try it for yourself, do you think that would sound good while performing? You'd want your mouth to form a longer shape, with more space inside.
    3) The way she's holding her music, which she actually fakes really nicely. It's up and away from her body.
    Hope this helps in the future if you do more videos like this 👍

    Things that make me happy: the harpist with the buzz cut and epic tattoos and piercings. I'm heavily-pierced and have a growing collection of tattoos and that doesn't mix too well with more 'formal' music. I primarily hide in theatre pits and get away with my body art, but I'm still pretty limited despite holding a BM and having a lot of experience. It's about damn time the classical world started being more open because music should be for everyone regardless of how we express ourselves.

    The seconded alto sax was setting you up. In the photo the reed was facing completely up but when he was playing correctly, he had the reed facing down

    I was just thinking that the only reason to play on a left-handed violin would be due to not having enough fingers on the left hand. So I knew that last one was 100% real.

    if i did this game, i'd probably look at the background because no one will have harp or cello at home just to submit a photo🤣 me and my simple thinking

      that's true! but you could just go to a friend's house and pretend to be on their instrument hahahaha

      @@jasperxalicecullen Yeah, I would assume all the fakers are borrowing a friend's instrument. I thought the pianist was fake because it looked like he was in a band room and a real pianist would probably pose on their own piano at home.

      But someone might know someone who owns an harp or a cello and borrow it to take the picture

      I assumed everyone who is fake borrowed the instrument from a friend or relative.

    8:20 actually I’m pretty sure one of my relatives has a sitar, but they can’t play at all. It’s kind of cultural, might be a hand me down.

    "People don't just have a sitar lying around the house" And they do have a violin lying around? 😂 I get what he means though.
