Will it work?!? I try to Improve the 100 Dollar Violin with my Master Setup

Man, you're some kind of violin wizard. Your attention to detail is incredible and you managed to turn garbage into a musical instrument. I had no idea that all those little things make a huge difference. Cheers 🎻

"As a beginner, you're important." This guy gets it.

This VSO would be a good candidate to test the god pillar that you reviewed with TwoSet some time ago hahaha

"The strings are very good... FOR THE BIN" ROOOOOOOOOASTEEEED XD

Twoset Community: we always like watching Olaf too :-)

Actually I am okay with watching a whole 50 minutes to see the whole process. It's interesting! I like how you explained everything you work on.

Honestly the fingerboard looks kinda cool.

"Luthier killed by toxic cheap violin" is something I never want to read in the papers. Stay safe Olaf!

"You're a beginner, you're important." I wish someone told me that 5 years ago.

Oh olaf! I love how you said that it was never too late to start playing an instrument, and every soloist are once a beginner. This is somehow gives me a new spirits to keep learning and not to feel discouraged looking at others who are far ahead. Thank you so much Olaf, that means a lot to me! :)

Olaf - in potential assistance for your question at 1:05: - What is the difference between a violin,- a cello- and a piano-shaped object? - The piano burns for longest.

My childhood dream: To be a violinist My other dream - To be a luthier

I just love how the VSO's synonyms are pretty much its "roast" terms.

Thanks for making this video - I've always wondered how much these $100 turds could be hot rodded up with a good fitted bridge and soundpost. This video definitely scratched an itch! And I agree with some of the other sentiments in the comments - don't destroy it! You've made it playable, and maybe there is a needy beginner/school district out there that can benefit from your hard and expert work on this piece.

Sir I don't have doubts about your violin playing in fact your better than me lol. I was kinda interested after you made those improvements to the VSO. It would be nice if you can have twoset to test it blind fold and have them play the violin and then make them reveal which violin they believe sounds better. That would be fun to watch. Before they made a video comparison with the million dollar violin so it's kinda exciting to hear their opinion about how much you improved the sound of that VSO.

Thank you Olaf, for giving the VSO a voice. It wasn't the instrument's fault that it wasn't made well. I've learned this evening that there has been flooding in Australia on the Western coast. While I realize you're in Brisbane on the Eastern coast, your countrymen on the West are in our prayers. You are an inspiration. My wife Karen has a violin that was acquired in an antique shop that belonged to her mother and her grandmother in Maryland, USA. I've become so interested since watching your videos that I've entreated her to get it out of our conditioned storage so I can learn more about it. In the meantime I plan on acquiring an inexpensive VSO to see if I can make it any better. I hope you're not insulted, but if I can employ your methods and give it a voice, then perhaps I'll have done music a small service. I'm sure Karen's violin will be superior, but in the meantime I will learn a great deal in the process. We have a Luthier in Raleigh, NC, Mr. John Montgomery. I may try to see if he'll allow me to sweep his floors as a volunteer in exchange for the chance to learn something. I'm in my 60's, but as you've indicated, it's never too late.

We need more colab between olaf and 2 set violin, they are a good match.

You're succeeded to pull my interest to violins, and I've never even touch a violin before 😄

Your message about beginner musicians was beautifully said. Truly the best aspects of the human spirit.

Olaf: I wonder what I can do with this VSO. Twoset: Can we burn it?
