- I bought the CHEAPEST Violins in the world (which are on Wish) and tested each of them to find out if they're any good. Did you like any of them?
If you want to learn to play the violin and want to find something in your budget, I highly recommend THIS one from Shar, which you saw in the video: bit.ly/ConcertViolin

No violins were hurt in the maki...oh wait.
Yes
What have you done
F in de chat
yes
How can I not watch with a hook like that!
I live in Syria, I'm 11, despite the ongoing war here and the bad economic conditions, my dad bought me a violin with 25$ so I can learn how to play. He always says that the only way to forget the war horrors is to listen and play your own music. You are wonderful, Rob. I love you so much
I wish you and your family the best♡
Wish you and your family the best
Dear Elenda, please also get a guitar. Learn some chords. Do the same with piano (keyboard?). I am shure it is possible to get cheap instruments. Music is not only classical. You know the Beatles? Good luck and God bless you.
Your father is a good man, nothing more true.
how have you been after 7 months of this comment
Would be kind of awesome to have an entire orchestra of each musician with the cheapest version of each respected instrument. See how it would sound in the hands of professionals.
@@ChiefHerzensCoach well no shit to the last sentence
I listened to an expert pianist in sweeden play a piano that had all of the hammers exchanged with actual hammers. She did very well.
@@becausereasons8507 that's so cool, is there a link?
I fear, even the Portsmouth Sinfonia would have politely refused to play on them...

In case you have not seen it yet
Rob: *Plays cheap violin and makes it sound better than me playing my $600 violin*
Me: "Nice."
Rob: "This sounds like garbage."
Me: *tear rolls down face* "Nice."
Wait what you have A $600 VIOLIN!!!!!!!
EPIC!!!!!!!
mine is 95.95 and sounds like -2.80 when I play it 😭🤚
I have an 156 dollor violin and it sounds like a 67 dollar violin
@@lambchopstombdamn they gave you money to play it
On the topic of cheap instruments.....
Back in the early 90s I was a poor college student and I ended up selling my old clarinet to a music store for $100. I later noticed pawn shops were selling the same clarinets for $70 to $80. I bought a few from pawn shops, sold them to music stores and made a few dollars.
The next year I noticed, in early summer, right after school let out, the pawn shops had various instruments for really cheap. The students that were giving up were pawning their instruments so the pawn shops had a bunch and were selling those instruments for cheap.
I bought as many as I could afford. I then waited until fall, when all the students were starting to go back to school. Buy when demand was low, sell when demand was high.
I then made the rounds to the music stores and sold said instruments. lol I wasn't making a fortune but I was buying 8 or 10 instruments for $60 +/- then waiting 3 months and selling them for $120 +/-. lol Back in the 90s, an extra $500 or $600 was a big deal to a poor college student. Anyways, that was one of my hustles to keep my rent paid and food in my belly while I was in school.
I’d love to hear you play it like a fiddle
I wish i was that good :)
@@FiddlingwithmyWhistle two verified ppl replying to each other thats a first
@Violin Geek I am everywhere :D
I love Rob, been a big fan of his for years. one day we are going to do a collab 👍
@@needhealing2228 a first.! Yes now that I have my tick, it seems to happen a lot. I have had a few verified Duets now.
we have had a verified Trio, but a verified Quartet would be the next first for me :)
That would be good
Me: *Agrees with everything you’re saying*
Also Me: *Can’t tell the difference*
Yeah
Lol yeah
Lol
*That's the type of violin I can afford thanks rob*
Ja kaas is lekker 😋
I don't know why but I can't stop laughing 😆
Paahhhhhh violin I just have a strings setting noise for my *electronic piano.*
Same haha I have a hundred dollars so I will go for the pink lol I am broke as hell yeah also thx rob
You can try looking for a ugood sed violin that may fit your budget. Maybe a good violin teacher can help you as students or former students may sell their instruments.
Even seeing cheap violens destroyed still makes me feel like god going to strike us down for such a sin
These aren't violins are just violin-shaped objects anyways.
To be fair they make sounds and kids or very poor people would still be happy to have one of those
at least they weren't a stradivarius
I honestly felt offended. Maybe it's just me, but I find this to be incredibly disrespectful to the instrument in general.
I know that It's his money and that he can do whatever he wants but I cant help but feel sad about it :/
My parents got me a violin from wish and I did not have the heart to tell them it was trash so I just used the I don't want to spend all day tuning it excuse and ended up renting one from school...
Wise choice. Simpletons who disregard their children's education like that would never take constructive criticism anyway.
My dad got me one from Amazon when I was just starting. My violin teacher had to tell him the hard way it was bad enough to be a piece of a wall decoration
Aww :((
@@zwz.zdenek???
@@that1liza871 wait really My got mine from there too we’re returning it bc of the size does that mean that it’s not gonna be a good one ?
Good thing you did the blind test, the pink violin got to live another day. It's fate remains undecided.
NOOOOOOO THE INTRO HURTS ME ALREADY HAHA
I like people with long brain. I have long amount of disl*kes btw. Why? Maybe people with short brain disl*ke because jealous of my long amount of subscr*bers. Please have long brain, dear bria
@@AxxLAfriku ok bro
@Axxl i dislike your chat, lol
I got my violin for about $25 at a garage sale. Came with case, bow, 2 shoulder rests, rosin, and I love it. I did replace the bow, as the adjustment peg was gone, but I’ve had the violin for a couple years, dropped it a couple times, and it’s still looking and sounding beautiful. I think it’s sad that you spent twice what I spent and you got a piece of trash.
The durability test looked a bit VIOLINt....
BRUHH HAHHHA
HAHAHAHHAHA
What?
@@abhaychandra2624 Captain here: Violent sounds like Violin with a "T" at the end. And his joke was a playful way to write violin whilst meaning violent.
Captain out.
Destroying any sort of violin brings me much pain.
I think it’s funny how he demonstrated situations where your instrument could get damaged but he’s not considered most of us violinists would rather break ourselves than let our instruments get even the smallest dent
This doesn’t apply to me. I play viola. 🤣🤣🤣
0:02 you broke my heart I've been literally saving up money for months just to by a 70 dollar violin and you just broke it for nothing
That's true. It really hurts. It always hurts when somebody breaks a violin.
Even the most expensive violins won't survive these crash tests ..
I dropped an expensive instrument once, but then it started floating, until it flew away to Cremona…
Good violin, Bad birdie.
Just kidding, never would drop my instrument, or any instrument for that matter
Even though these are from wish, the durability tests hurt me on a physical level-
Rob: Ok i am gonna do durability test **STARTS TO DESTROY IT**
Me: Cant *EVEN AFFORD* 1 Violin T__T
.-.
I... Can't even afford violin shaped object...
@@rsignradio2464 :)
Yeah I felt this.
Ok the durability test is for violins made of vibranium, not wood
Even though it was so cheap, the violin being crushed under a truck tire was straight up instrument gore for me
I've always wanted to play the violin since I was a little kid. But I could never buy one, not even a cheap one for $ 40. That made me sad now to see how you destroyed them. Found your channel a few days ago and watched a few videos. I love how you surprise people. I am happy to see the facial expressions on the people you surprise. I think it's a great idea to make such videos.
But I don't like looking at the destruction of violins, even if they are cheap.
I love music. Music opens my heart in this world where you have to close it far too often. In my opinion, even a cheap instrument is better than none. Sorry, English is not my main language and I hope you understand me correctly, but I think even a hollow tree trunk is a better drum than none. But otherwise I like your content very much.
So, and now I'll watch a few more videos of you and leave a subscription. ^^
Have a nice day.
You can rent them from some places.
yea but its technically his money.... anyway you got a point
Ya me to :(
I bought a $35 one off of eBay, and it not sounding so great has not put me off of learning to play, at all, because I know it is because of the violin. As I learn and improve, the violin's sound changes and improves enough that I can easily tell I'm making progress.
Rob is a man of culture: Playing Dragonborn(Dovahkiin) on a violin test. Big Up!
This is crazy to see, since I got my violin from Shar Music in Michigan where they set these up! Some years back I lived in Michigan and used to drive by them regularly. I had always wanted one, so I finally stopped in and got one on impulse. Literally on my lunch break. They did a great job selling me one even on short notice, and played several for me to find the one I liked the sound of best. This last year, I finally picked it up and really started to try to learn it. It's been a real joy and the satisfaction of making progress with it has been great. I've just started to be able to play things like the 1st mvmt of Summer from Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Or the Mario Bros. theme at proper speed. :P I feel like I have so much room to grow with the instrument. I'm so glad after seeing this that I went there instead of ordering a cheap one online.
As a violin teacher, all I can say is THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
My violin is about 119 years old
I got it from my music school and it sound SO good
my teacher is always telling me that I can have a new one bc that one Is so old but when I try the new ones it sounds like ✨trash✨
(well, it sounds 1000000000 times worse then mine)
but then he asks me to give it to someone to fix the look but I like it more when its older :^
so I just say
"wait untill I finish my violin classes and then let someone fix it" :P
Bro that could go for hundreds
Take it
Or buy it
Fascinating video. Thank you!
I love your videos about violins continue that please :)
I love Rob and his videos
Okay now I can safely say, Rob Landes tortures violins more than Davie504
Thanks I also really want you to make how to play violin for beginners video since your super good!
I can't wait to show this to my students and parents! Thank yoooou! 👏👏👏👏
Seeing these violins get smashed makes my heart die
@Jude B I get it but as a violin player myself it hurts
I just got my Shar Franz Hoffmann Concert 2 days ago, last night was day 1 of playing and wow! I’m loving it!
I live in Europe and after much research I bought a Stentor II violin, I never felt so glad of my decision as I do now after watching your video!
My sister played violin as a kid. She got a decent rental from the shop. Dropped it on stage before a kiddy performance and broke the bridge XD
Was she given another chance?
The first unboxed that you put in first is what I got for myself and kids to learn.
I don’t even play the violin but I screamed because of how expensive violins are and he just RUNS IT OVER!!!!
Yeah.. poor violin is crying.. 💔💔😿
That intro... Ooohhh... You've scarred me for life and wai- NOOOO MY VIOLIN WAS WATCHING!!! IT SAW EVERYTHING 😭
I am now worried about the violin I ordered on amazon.
Yea sorry to say, but Amazon violins are usually not that great, because first off you’ll have to put the strings in yourself, and most of the time the material is very cheap and the varnish is fake but hopefully it’s an ok violin.
Order through a luthier or violin shop where they play. You will quit trying with the crappy stuff. Worth the wait in saving.
@@vishalsubramanian2051 It might be good for a practice one though, so I can get used to it.
@@Helz777 I might try that, thanks.
@@TheDoomedRobin you cant practice what you can't play. On a decent violin managed a decent open note tone first try. Won't happen on a crappy one.
Love the shout-out to Mark Rober, Rob! You tell him.
The Clint's Reptiles intro, you aint slick Rob 🤣
The white one is a decoration piece, that's for sure 😂
I saw you in one of Buttered side down's video of "Learning to Violin" and damn you are so cool, here is a sub
Wow. I thought the white one sounded okay when you played on it. I bet you sound better on all these than I would on a stradivarius. (I played a viola in middle school...but they had to restring a violin to fit the size for me. I bet you can imagine how lovely that sounded...)
Everyone: durability test
Me: the white violin with no bow
Woah...This video is pretty VIOLent😮
Do that durability test with your Stradivarious! LOL
LMFAO the drop test 😂😂😂
Could you do a quick vid on how to set up a bridge? My bridge on my cello fell down and I'm not confident in exactly where to put it...? Thanks!
Good job ROB LANDES 👍
OK Bob Barker! LOL
It's been a long time since I played a violin, but once he started playing any notes, I had tears in my eyes and my ears were ringing!
Rob breaking the violins makes me realize that when I was freshman in college, I used to put two thick books in side of my Bam hard case with no pocket.,, it was Bach and Carl Flesch scale books.. I just wanted to carry only my violin with books inside of the case. As time goes by,,, those books pressed the my violin's bridge , finally my violin got a crack under the bridge. I was stupid.... my mom helped me to pay for repair... (it was about $3000)......
I love your Tests 😂
@2:09 - This helps me really visualize the whole "color correction" thing. That does NOT look pink till you hang it on the wall.
Hey! 0:10 I like the pink violin. Also, I'm pretty sure you'll crush any instrument if you run it over with a vehicle.
6:01 his face legit loos like mr bean that time lol
A question on bridge height? Couldnt you shorten the one that's too tall?
And I feel like the white one is intended to be painted and hung on the wall
“Smooth or warm or creamy “ I felt that
I have a pink vso, and so far it has served me well. Didn’t want to invest hundreds of dollars before knowing I would stick with playing.
Gonna pick up a Scott Cao STV-017E next month if I am still practicing daily and developing my skills.
Bro... You just don't destroy violins, even if they are cheap as hell.... We are musicians... We cherish the instruments....
I don't think MUSICIANS should cherish evil unplayable plywood VSOs.
say no to instrument violence
+1
I love your videos! I'm too violinist so I love how you playing
Crazy, I bought my student Violin for about £150. It's not a great violin but it makes a decent sound and plays pretty well.
No sense in it being so poorly made, student violins are cheap af but they work.
Rob: at least you get it with the whole package
Me: that’s what he said
11:58👈: this cracked me up😂👌
In 1969 I was 13 and started taking guitar lessons. I had a 3/4th size acoustic guitar. My first electric was a Supro. I thought it was awful but looking back it was just not set up correctly and the strings were too high making it very hard on my fingers. Fortunately I stayed with it and eventually traded it for a used 1973 Gibson Les Paul Custom. That felt like going from the white violin to probably a $3000 violin.
Awesome! :)
I love your videos
what violin do you recommend a begineer becasue I am wanting to buy a violin to start playing but idk whitch violin/brand works the best
man, I watch you destroy several violins it gives me a squeeze in my heart, instead of destroying why not give me
I am giveing one away :)
Can't beat the 99¢ violin I got off eBay back in 6th grade. 😂
Wow! 😂🤣 violin-shaped object 😆
It was a great video
I know this may sound like a dumb question, but i wonder what a gutair sounds like being played with a violin bow? Would it be low sounding or higher pitched?
Cool!
*Brett and Eddy have entered the chat
So this is what marv from home alone is doing in free time
Best part smashing the crappy fiddle shaped objects
Lol fun thanks just what I was thinking...
The case for the second violin at 3:00 is the box😂
I actually started playing violin on one of these Wish VSO’s.
Hey can you do the minecraft disc blocks on violin?
Well this was something I was looking forward to.... Now onto Wal-Mart (I saw box guitars, so if they have violins, I doubt they play any better)
hello rob landes I am your fan, is perfect your music
Can you do a video, how to chose a violin for a beginner. I have only student violin and played for 5 years. But not a frequent player
Some quotes u say made me laugh out of context
Next you should have a VSO with a professional set up.
Hi Rob Landes I'm a huge fan of you
Pink one could be for Kirby music!
a rob you should play some hardstyle songs from headhunterz and others pretty sure you could get a collaboration with one of the hardstyle producers
It's it possible to buy a cheap violin and mod it with better bridge and strings to end up with a pretty ok combo tho?
what song was he playing during the blind test?
The VIOLINce in this vid was so high.
I wish wish had good violin
it is so funny in tone part
I didn't expect that intro 😢
Hi Rob
Why don't you get a Clifton Strauss violin and test it and tell us what you think about it as a begginers violin?
The first truck test one not even an actual violin would make it out alive😭
How does this man make every violin sound good
Wait, sounds good? Welp, not to my ear...
He made even the white one sound great.
It's mostly the player.
@@zwz.zdenek 100% the player
He could make a banjo with rubber bands sound like a professional violin.
