If you can hack Brett slowly, you can hack Brett quickly.
Good point đđ
I saw this comment before watching the video and was wondering why Brett was being hacked⊠đ
Bullseye. Niiiiice.
@@deschuasame for me:-)
Ay, even TwoSet noticed
As a German, âit sounded not so badâ is probably the highest compliment you could receive đ
That is exactly what I thought. đ
We Swabians say: "Not scolded is praised enough."
@@mille_fioriI spent two months in Stuttgart when I was in college! The Swabians and their sayings were quite amusing. The one I learned was âSchaffe, spare, hausle baue, starbe.â (Work, save, build a little house, die.)
Hahaha genau
@@mille_fiori die ĂŒbersetzung von dem artikel aus dem schwĂ€bischen grundgesetz han i no gar net kennt. muss i mer merke! geil :D
Funnily enough, there is a similar Chinese instrument that's called the Yang qin, so it's still related to Brett's name
Omg, what a cool coincidence
Omg at first sight I thought they looked so similar to yang qin too! Glad I'm not the only one :D
haha I was looking for this comment
IIRC all of these instruments descend from a Persian instrument that spread both west and east, they all retain this trapezoidal shape
When I first saw the video, I thought they had Chinese dulcimers (yangqin) and was so excited because they've learned Erhu before and I thought they might be planning to do a Chinese instrument ensemble. Oh well, I can keep dreaming! :)
even to someone who speaks German, its funny how blunt German naming conventions can be. Hackbrett... Chop-Board
So Brett is a human board...
Fairly interesting đ€
If I had heard the word out of context, I would have assumed a Hackbrett was like a charcuterie board for ground meat.
@@kyihsin2917 right?! that was my first thought as well!
And people say German is harsh. I mean its like if Russian sounded like English. Slightly heavy words for us but its not "angry"
It's the same in Swedish, "hackbrÀde".
When you actually practiced today and you can rightfully watch the new twoset video:
Good job!
@@mariavidineeva2524Thank you đ
But did you practice for 40 hours??
@@KieranWhite911 Unfortunately, i am not LingLing nor am I Chloe Chua, But i will try my best to reach atleast 39 hours and 59 minutes a day
Senpai noticed you!
When eddy and Brett make jokes, Iâm forced to remember how they are over thirty
I was literally just thinking about that
Of course
Once a college student, always a collage student.
There's an age to make jokes
Final scores:
Eddy:
+3 blind
+1 confused old man
Brett:
+2 blind
+4 confused old man
Thanks, I was looking for something like this đ
Tuning this thing must be a nightmare. But at least it looks like its mother was a piano and its father a stealth bomber.
It really is a nightmare for tuning. Because every note has multiple strings (my hackbrett has 4) and you have to tune every one of them the same for 32 notes or more. Yeah that can take about an hour or so:,)
This is the best comment I've ever seen
It comes from a persian instrument called santoor which is quite older 1600-900 B.C.
At least their mother didn't smell of elderberries?
I play a string instrument called six chord zither (Akkordzither). Every time I tune it I am scared of strings may break. Which happens almost every time. Every chord has six strings to tune and every melody string is a double string. Is hellish to tune every time đ.
I can already imagine, after n months/yrs later, they will do another guess the instrument charade, and either Brett will be like "what the hell is this" or Eddy will be like, "the instrument with your name in it, hellobrett or sth" đ
Ah yes I see it now
Absolutely sounds like them. đ
Someone got ignored by Twoset lol It looks to me that this comment is squeezed between the two comments that Twoset liked lol
LMAO they would đ
Loving the return of the older style videos! Roasting movies, learning _____ in an hourâŠnow we just need violin charades again!
I love violin charades.
And sightreading!
As a Czech person - hackbrett is great instrument in czech folk music. Little storytime here: my uncle, bored stiff with the piano, decides to throw in the towel during a lesson. Without a second thought, he blurts out 'hackbrett' when asked what instrument he'd rather play. Lo and behold, his piano teacher takes him seriously!đ
Fast forward a couple of weeks, and there he is, sitting in a hackbrett lessin. Flash forward again, he's graduated from music school as a pro hackbrett player. Talk about stumbling into your passion, right? The hackbrett chose him!đâ€
đšđż
Not only...it's a great instrument for Hungarian and Romanian folk music also...
Search for Ferenc Liszt...
Yeah, it absolutely choses you. I have been captived by its sound from a small age already, and it took me 20 years to actually be able to get lessons (because in my city the Zither rules, not the Hackbrett (it's seen more as a rural instrument))
Toni explaining how to hold the hammer.
Meanwhile Brett: If you want to flip someone off.
Hackbrett, my long lost cousin đ€Łđ€Ł that killed me! đ
0:55 Where are all the Austrians complaining about Hackbrett to be a German instrument⊠being introduced by âSalzburger Hackbrettâ â€
2:40
HERE!
(but Toni did clarify in the video, so it's fine. And also, Hackbrett is used in folk music in the entire "Alpenland" - it's used in Slovenia and Czechia too for example, and in Switzerland. So I think it's wrong to "claim" it too much. Introducing it as a _German_ instrument *is* sacrilegious though)
The irony that Eddy learned the scale faster on hackbrett than BrettâŠ
He knows his Brett đ
I love the hackbrett, or the hammer dulcimer as itâs also known. I watched Everybody Wants to Rule The World performed by Ted Yoder and it was beautiful.
Hammer Dulcimer I like that, better name than Hackbrett
@@fionamackenzie5444 yes I agree
wow, Ted Yoder's great! thanks for telling us about him
@@fionamackenzie5444but then you lose the "hacking Brett" joke:-)
I was looking for this comment. The version with Ted Yoder playing and Curt Smith singing is one of my favourite YT clips, even though the sound quality isn't the best.
No matter the instrument, Brett never fails to create cursed music đ
âIf YoU cAn HaCk SlOwLy, YoU cAn HaCk QuIcKlYâ đ
Iâm so happy that TwoSet made this type of content again ! Thank you so much for introducing other instrument!
Eddy looking like a Neapolitan ice cream.
help why is this so true
Now I want ice cream
Refreshing to see a return of the twoset coverage on different instruments. âš
me before school when checking youtube: sees twoset video
Late for school
Also me: WhY aM aLwAys LatE
I can't believe you guys did this, I play santouri (a greek version of hackbrett) and I've been inspired by your videos to start practicing classical pieces. The recognition is amazing.
am i the only one who realised these type of instruments all have part of brett inside?
The hackbrett, and the yangqin (If u dk what that is, its a chinese orchestra instrument)
I am just gonna say, It really looks like Yangqin.
As a violist also play the yangqin in junior secondary school, I can tell both the heckbrett and the yangqin shared the same concept of playing
â@@phineas1117 many instruments evolved from other older instruments brought over from a different country/culture. Yangqin itself was created out of santoor from Persia (Iran)
fun fact, more people play yangqin in the world compared to hackbrett đ
Guys I was today years old when I found out Viola in French is Lâalto whereas violin is just violon and cello is violoncelle đđ just a subtle reference to alto clef lolll we were completely roasting them in class today
In Russian too, the viola is called al't, also as a reference to the alto clef
Just a precision. Viola is just "alto", the " l' " is the article (like "the" in English").
the viola = l'alto
viola = alto
And the double bass is called "contrebasse".
Glad you learned some French. ;-)
@@MissTwoSetEncyclopediaoh oops, yeah that makes more sense
I'm not sure if this is a reference to the alto clef, because in French this clef is not called clef alto but "clé d'ut 3" (because it is on the 3rd line). I think calling this instrument alto is a kind of abbreviation of "violon alto", just as you have also "saxophone alto", in reference to the register ("les altos" can also mean the female singers who sing in a low register). So to me it is more a reference to the register (but the alto clef is called like this because of the register too).
The "Hammered dulcimer" page on Wikipedia says this instrument has many variations in different countries all over the world. e.g. Yangqin (æŹçŽ) in China.
Yes, it's Iranian Persian in origin, but spread all over the world and was adopted/altered by many cultures! It's not a "German instrument" either though
Persian Santoor/santur, hungarian cimbalom, chinese Yang Quin, belarusian tsymbaly, italian/spanish Salterio, the Thai khim, and the American Hammered Dulcimer. A surprising number of cultures have included the Hammered Dulcimer in their folk tradition and some even in their classical tradition!
HackBrett Yang qin đ
Yes, his claim that this was invented in the 1930s is slightly misleading - this particular design was, but very similar instruments have existed for centuries.
I love these videos where they learn a new instrument. It's fascinating to see the newbie clumsiness combined with the years of experience and musicality, quickly producing a result that is "not so bad" at all. I hope they do some more soon.
Hey Twoset!! This isnt really related to the video but I just wanna say thank you for introducing me to classical music! I was appointed as assistant section leader in my section, and to think that I wouldn't even have joined if I didnt watch your videos :') And it's really interesting to learn about other instruments from different cultures. The sound of the hackbrett sorta sounds like a guzheng, which is really cool
It comes from santoor which is an old persian (1600-900 B.C.) instrument,
*In mind* I have heard this sound before.
*Realised that* it sounds like an Indian instrument called Santoor
It's not indian, it's Iranian traditional instrument!
Yes, the hackbrett is a variation of the Santoor, but it's Persian/Iranian in origin, not Indian although there are Indian variations of it. It's not a "German instrument" like the title claims either though
Didn't the Hackbrett/Hammered Dulcimer originate from the Santoor?
Awesome to see, that you tried the Hackbrett! As an Austrian, i will forgive you for calling it a german instrument. đ
ItÂŽs quite common in contemporary and early music too! But you can play all kinds of genres - just check out our channel!
its like a German version of a Santoor (also written as Santur)
Yes. I think Santoor has evolved from this instrument, most probably.
@@debadritaghosh1531 santoor is way older than this, so no the santoor hasnt evolved from this
Another cousin!!
Santoor is way older. Even the Chinese version, yangqin evolved from it, being brought over via the silk road during the Tang Dynasty
This probably evolved from the santoor or Chinese instruments which spread through the Silk Road. Itâs also very similar to the Hungarian cimbalom, or tsimbl in Yiddish
Anyone else think that Eddy's Flight of the bumble was actually really good? 8:46
I reckon he played 15 notes a second :)
Amazing! I live the Celtic version of this instrument called the Hammered Dulcimer! It has such a dreamy sound but is tuned a little different.
They are both the grandfather tto the piano. đ
It'd be amazing if you guys did something with flamenco and Spanish guitar in general. It's such an unknown and underrated style out of Spain and it's a shame, especially given that the history and evolution of the guitar in Spain had such a huge influence in all styles of modern music.
Also in classical: Santiago de Murcia, Gaspar Sanz, JoaquĂn Rodrigo, Isaac AlbĂ©niz...
Spanish guitar history is very interesting. It took what was a baroque instrument and modernised it and which then went on to influence many styles of modern music.
I really hope they'll do this video, it would be awesome.
@@Chrisamic baroque guitar also developed in Spain. Most accepted theory is that it developed from the Arab lute. Already in 1200 there were already a guitarra latina and guitarra morisca
Please do violin charades again! We need more charades!
I noticed small changes in editing.I hope Editor San is still there
Iâm so glad Brett found his long lost cousin đ„° the family reunion was great đđ
I came to see you in Munich from Italy and the atmosphere was so warm and exciting! I loved you guys and Sophie SO SO much, your show was amazing - it made up for the countless hours of train ride back and forth a million times over â€
Brett should improvise on the hackbrett and together the cousins create a music world that can be replicated by no others.
Brett playing the hackbrett
thank you for making your videos they always make me happy
Yepppp
Indeed!
As a German who is not from Bavaria, I was taken by surprise how the tunes they played immediately transported me to that southern region of Germany. Folk tunes have such a power on your subconscious mind, the associations just pop up...
Haha exactly what I was thinking. Oh yeah, I can hear him being from bavariađ
Toni is so soft spoken. His voice is really soothing.
He's also absolutely gorgeous. But that's not really relevant to his musical talent. đ
iâm from switzerland and playing the hackbrett for 13 years, so cool to see you guysđ
One of my favourite instruments finally being featured. đ
I love to see this kind of videos again! What a beatiful sound! Love this instrument. đ„°
Whaaat, you were in Munich and didn't hop over to Mittenwald to see its violin making school? I hope you come the next time you're in the area :)
Eddy...always a flex. Brett...always sillyđ â€
POV: Your name is Brett
Mom- At least be a computer engineer and learn coding and hacking if you don't want to be doctor or lawyer.
Me- Okay mum I will learn the 'Hackbrett'!!
đđđđđđđđ
At least the posture for playing the Hackbrett won't destroy their bodies.
Similar hammer dulcimers are used in many other European folk music. Love it, guys! I have several friends who play here in the US.
it s called cymbalum.
Evart Michigan the largest dulcimer festival in the world. Fantastic.
Thatâs my boss đ„ł nice to see him in a two set video
đđđ
Go Practice !
Always đ
@@franzantonpeter-hackbretth9758Toni, somewhere people asked about the title of the pieces you played at the start of the video, then the one you played with the Brett and Eddy. Can you share? Thanks. And you ARE a very nice man, and an excellent (patient) teacher!!!
@@franzantonpeter-hackbretth9758(40 hours a day!!)
Yayyyy more twosettt â€â€â€ also petition for you to play flight of the bumblebee all the way through on it
The English name for it is hammered dulcimer. Heard once Carol of the bells on it and it was great :)
And itâs used a lot in the dishonored OST
I was confused for a moment, assuming I was wrong for thinking it was a dulcimer... đ . Thanks for clarifying!
In romania is called Èambalul, is very wonderful instrument. Sound is more in comparison to german.
These are some of my favorite types of videos!
Ich liebe euch zwei set! Machen Sie Weiterhin tolle videos!
Thanks 4 introducing me to this awesome new instrument twoset â€â€đđ
Another one to add to the twoset learning instruments seriesđđđđ!
I didn't know I needed flight of the bumblebee on the hackbrett until this moment
I still didn't need it. Ha-ha!
Wow what a beautiful sound! đȘ Lovely instrument! đ€©
eddy lookin very huggable in that sweater
OMG THEY DID IT HACKBRETT REPRESENTATION!!!!!!
TIL Hackbrett is the German word for the hammered dulcimer.
Iâll love to learn this one day, I love the sound! I play percussion, and when they learned how to play scales it reminded me some when I learned double second steel drums, learning patterns and sharing the melody and accompaniment between the right and left hand. They did awesome !
Please bring back violin charadess! đą
Well, itâs not strange and not purely German. You can find similar instruments to the Hackbrett all over the world.
They did not say this is purely German, and strange is subjective. They are familiar with other similar intruments - they even learned to play the Chinese version.
The title "We learned to play the German version of an instrument with Iranian (+...) roots, that has many versions around the world but not typical in Western classical music repertoir" would have been too long?
â@@e2pii213also there's the Hungarian Cymbalom...
I play the Hackbrett too, I was NOT expecting content on this instrument on this channel, NGL
XD
I should definitely practice more tho XDDDD
Grettings from Vienna, I hope you'll get to play here too someday!
That was really fun. Iâve never heard of that instrument; it has a lovely sound.
This is so much like SANTUR which is an IRANIAN instrument... you should check out the PERSIAN instruments like: Kamancheh _ Tar _ Setar _ Daf ... the Persian Classical Music has so much history
This! I can't believe they called it a "German Instrument" đ€Š
Okay. Santoor was evolved from Iran. I get it now. But, I have another question. Was it brought to India by the Mughals (or Moghuls)?
@@annaairahala9462The title "We learned to play the German version of an instrument with Iranian roots, that has many versions around the world but not typical in Western classical music repertoir " would have been too long?
@@debadritaghosh1531 excuse my English..
Actually idk if Santur was brought to India by them or others but it is true that it has traveled to other countries around the world specially Asia like India..Pakistan..Turkey..Iraq..china
But it's transformed by the time and it has different names
@@e2pii213 I would have been fine with the title if they just explained it in the video, but his explanation was that it was "created in Germany". Like if it was a Yangqin, it wouldn't be an issue to say "Chinese instrument" if you didn't explain its origins as being created in China when it's also derived from the Santur
Professional vs Beginner of this wouldve been epic!!
As a hackbrett-player finding this video just made me very happyđ
Idk why but this reminded me of "go practice Brett" video from a long time ago đ my mind visualized these guys yelling "go hack a brett, go hack a brett, GO HACK A BRETT!!!" đđđ
I fell in love with the sound of the hammered dulcimer when I first heard L'Arpeggiata many years ago. Beautiful instrument.
i missed this series!!
Wow, I almost thought this was Santoor! Hackbrett is so similar to it.
theese videos are always so fun!!!
"Hack a lot of Bretts". Sure, Brett, sure.
Yay! My instrumentâs cousin!!!! If you want to see bumblebee, look for the Hungarian version, known as the cimbalom. There is a video called Ion Miu Godfather of the cimbalom where he plays bumblebee (and due to the nature of the instrument, the notes are clearly articulated despite playing at a speed at which the hammers almost disappear)
Finally! Real captions have returned! Now I have a whole bunch of videos to catch up on :D
We visited your great concert in Munich. I think it s great, that You have lernt a traditional Instrument in my homecity .
how strange
interesting
Quite strange
Extremely interesting
I love the sound of a hammered dulcimer and so now I am very happy to have learned about the hackbrett!
New video of two set, cellist be happy :)
We have almost the exact same thing in Appalachian America and call it a hammered dulcimer
Except for a difference in hammer, it is identical, keen eye my friend
Come to Marietta, GA, so I can teach yaâll the HackEddy!
You're in my hometown!! Next strange German instrument you should learn is the "Maultrommel" đđ
I love how their first reactions to holding the stick mallet things is to flip everyone off
50 mins ago finally!!! They posted Iâm so exited to watch this vid!!!!!đđđâ€â€â€â€
So it's kind of like hammered dulcimer? Sweet! YT has videos of hammered dulcimer versions of music from video games, movie soundtracks, etc. It takes a lot of skill (and practice!) to play these instruments well. Brett & Eddy, if you learned this well in just an hour, Bravo!!
As a hammered dulcimer player itâs great to see representation of these wonderful instruments! Can definitely relate to the blurry eyes
Hello
My aunt has one of these, I loved messing around with it when I was younger.
omg new video
also that's the most polite German person I've ever heard speaking
Thank you đ
@@franzantonpeter-hackbretth9758 oh gosh I hope this didn't come off as rude, but I've met a lot of people there and the straightforwardness felt a bit harsh sometimes, that's why I said this cause you were being so sweet đ also, you play beautifully!
