... I gotta say, as an illustrator, I really appreciate all these hand photo references.
Yessss, especially 'Roger this Roger that'
especially the guy that posed his hands LMFAO
I was thinking about how I need to mix up the type of hands I draw on people lol
Nah I just draw my own hands or I steal my brothers
Lmao true
3:10 as a classical guitarist, I am very disappointed. Those hands could not be more obvious 😂
+1000 😏
yes!!!
YEAH HAHAHAHH
Same ;'(
yeah ahahaha just looking at the shape of the nails
When I saw the hands of the pianist I knew that he was a pianist, only my people would do so many strange gestures with their hands
I’m a thereminist and do them too. My massagist looked at the top players of the world and noticed in a second that they’re all double jointed / hypermobile.

Can confirm
I can confirm
I cannot confirm.
As a French horn player, I totally relate to her nails! Your nails can’t be too long on your left hand or they just break while you play 😭
Except I'm also a Horn player and it seems the nails on my left hand are the ones that are really long while the ones on my right hand break. 😅
@@punk.n.ska4me same here! I even wore nail extensions when I played one time (don’t ever do that lol) it definitely depends on how you poison your fingers
@@definetlynotkelsey1723poison 😭😭😭
Honestly, Brett's gut is impressive. That's why he wins all the time 😂
Ya
he even recognize dudamel hair lmao
Yea right? He's an intuition animal.
Spoiler
did you just call him fat
Little hint: classical guitarists have extremely well filed nails on one hand and short nails on the other (this you can recognize the lefty ones too).
i think that goes for most types of guitarists. they also likely have callouses, which weren't there in the first picture
It's soooo recognizable! Their nails have a super specific shape, are super damn long and are always so smoothly filed. And ofc it's only one hand.
Not only classical lol
Yeah, I think it's the easiest. Also maybe the stiff calluses on the left fingers
In left image Ther was a guitar case in front of the wardrobe in the left hand picture
that pianist had nice hands(most pianist do imo) and he totally knew that and took the opportunity to show it off
He has to be a hand model as well or dancer. The poses on those pictures were incredibly beautiful.
5:39 wow, she killed it that sounded so good
What piece was it?
@@squid6391 so painful because it sounds so familiar but i have no idea what it is 😭
@@unebellepatience1197 I saw someone reply to another comment so I'll just pass it on. It's the Snowstorm II.Waltz from Sviridov
@@squid6391 OMG thank you so much
@@unebellepatience1197 No problem
If they’re looking at calluses, maybe I should have sent pics to REALLY confuse them 😅. I play flute and piano and just started violin. But my calluses are from climbing and tennis 😂😂😂 Edit: I wrote this comment 10 months ago. And have never gotten more than a few comments/likes before. I just have to say for all of you lingling wannabes: you all are so talented and I’ve so enjoyed reading all of these replies. So happy to be a part of the gang
Lol
I don’t think it should count if you play multiple instruments, kinda defeats the whole purpose of the game
@@jellybaebi Indeed!
@@jellybaebi fair point. That's partially why I didn't submit. But also, would be funny to have someone have calluses that weren't from practicing
mood. Even if I did play an instrument, I feel like my hands would throw them off...my nails are random lengths (happen to longer on the right 4 main fingers now) because I just cut them as they get damaged, and I have a massive writing callous on my right thumb....the top joint is bigger and a different shape than the left because of how I write. And I have a callous on the top joint of my right middle finger because of how I knit.
As a harpist, I was just waiting for harp hands to confuse TwoSet!
I thought it was so obvious 😭 Although.. I'm in love with harp even though I don't play it 🥺
Same X)
I was waiting all video for there to be a harpist, but when it was the harpist, I missed it 😆
hard same XD I noticed because of the placement of the callouses on the fingers
Harp is such an amazing instrument
That Flute one, was pretty good!
Do you know the piece?
@@kpp28 @Esra Uzuner found it, it's The Snowstorm II.Waltz from Sviridov
whoaa omg hi!!!
Thank you so much for featuring me! 🥰 You guys are my favorite entertainers, I love how you guys expose people to classical music and make it so fun!
Great singing~ ❤️👌✨
@@missaprilfool120 Thank you so much! ❤️

You’re super talented! ❤
This for a non-musician has to be very weird.
For a non-musician it *is* very weird but then again it's twoset
for a non-musician who’s been watching twoset for months this is awesome :D
Tbh I find a lot of two set videos unusual but I'm here to learn. I may not be a musician but I really appreciate the talent and effort required
@@generichuman2044 twoset is weird but that's why we love them :) (among other things)
Nah i've been watching these dudes obsessively for only half a year now and it doesn't really feel that weird hahah (read: they've done worse lmao)
3000 labelled hands would be an interesting dataset to train a neural network on. Would it be capable of classifying the instrument (or the instrument group) correctly?
Yesss, someone in the team please do it. Judging from this video, if they are representable to the 3000, consider similarity to across some instruments... perhaps 20% accuracy is good enough?
Why did I expect this kind of comment from you 😂
@@xuanzhiong3757 that would be 1/5 but I bet most of the submissions were piano and violin. Anyway you’d be surprised how accurate neural networks can get even with non-human tasks
Now that's an interesting idea, if they open the dataset to public maybe we can try it, but I think they will have legal problem by publishing possibly private data or without submitter consent? Idk
Also, it might be more efficient to have one neural network work out relative finger length, whether or not there are calluses, finger nail length, whether they're painted or not, and put all _that_ into another file for another neural network to work on.
I want them to do this again so there’s a chance to have percussionist hands. Marimba/Steven’s grip hands are so obvious 😅
I love how they got the Opera singer immediately
"That is such a waste of big hands" -TwoSet But also as a pianist I agree (Chopin and Rachmaninov)
Im jealous
I’m a pianist whose hands are the size of an average 12 year old’s. At this point, it’s 33% love of the instrument, 33% dedication to what I’ve been doing (admittedly not very consistently) since I was 6, and 33% sheer spite against the fact that I am Very Not Suited to it
And Tchaikovsky istg he must have had like the biggest hands ever like what even are some of the chords
i can't even play an octave because of how small my hands are. i want big hands!!
@@BlueMiaou oof. not even an octave? 😭
Brett's intuition is on point ☝️
His intonation isn’t Jk jk lol

@@ibrahimaladdin6597 bro
Wasn't he an ENFP 🤔
@@danika9411 idk how do you know?
Vince has the most lovely hands. They could be a hand model.
I always have very long nails but I play piano, ukelele, and guitar so that would have been quite confusing.
I can't believe you didn't get the guitarist right. There is no more obvious hand trait in music.
Hear hear! 🤣🙋♂️
Literally
Except for piano. Muscular hands with the smount of training required
@@galadriel3134but seeing the right hand with nails and the left one without is probably a quick guess.
I made it into a video! 🥺 Whilst you didn’t get classical guitar for me, you were still correct in that I do play viola too! 😁🤘 thanks to your friend for featuring me!
your playing was beautiful
@@gracedubb7095 thank you!
I got you right! :)
Your playing was amazing!
Damn
I wonder if you guys would be able to guess my hands. I'm a flute player, but I don't have very long or elegant fingers like I imagine other flute players having. xD I guess my perception of the ideal flute hands also comes from my perception of the ideal piano hands-- my childhood friend Michael, who has the most beautiful, long fingers!! The parts where you guys were like "oh, there's nails, they can't play piano" puzzled me because Michael always kept their nails crazy long when we were young and still played piano like a pro!! xD
My fingers are kinda short too. But in the brand where I play other flutists have long nails and I can see they struggle with open holes😅 One of them still can't play the low notes after years and her fingers are in a very strange position >< (but maybe she just doesn't practice🤷♀️)
Yeah I play piano and the length of my nails really doesnt affect my playing
I play flute, and I have pretty short fingers. Its a bit of a problem when I play piccolo because the finger rest digs into my hand lol
Playing with long nails is extremely frustrating. Sometimes you have to curl your fingers to press the keys with the tips. And the right pieces will cause you to hit a key between your finger and nail. Not a fun experience.
I have long, painted(lol) nails and play the piano just fine, only have had one chip in the last few months. Also, it makes it so I can reach some chords that previously were not possible for me!
I never developed callouses on my hand as a violinist, and yes I did practice quite often 😉 It wasn’t until I picked up cello as a minor in college that I developed callouses on my ring and pinky fingers, and only for the first few months.
Ah yes, the only reason anyone would ask for hand pictures on the internet!
Hand models! :D for some reason I thought of Zoolander when I read your post lol.
That cellist had a lovely sparkling tone.
agreed! what piece was she playing?? it sounds familiar but i can't put my finger on it
@@DZRoshal Paganini’s Moses Fantasy
@@DZRoshal Moses variations by Paganini
For the harp one I literally jokingly, randomly out of the blue said harp. Literally just guessing because I saw the callouses on both hands. and when I tell you I screamed when I got it right 😂😂
yes you have to trust your instincts more, brett
I made in into a Twoset Video! Fun Fact: I was the trumpet player who played TwoSet's CAFE in this video 🙂
Love your trumpet cover of Cafe, it sounds beautiful!
@@orinoco6420 Thank You
Love your Cafe cover~ 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@missaprilfool120 Thank You 🙂
Oh nice :D
Every guitarist could tell the 4th from a mile away, it was way too obvious for us.
I’m so surprised they didn’t get it either, and they’re my hands! 🤣🤷♂️
For sure! Guitarists always have longer nails on the right hand and they’re filed nicely
6:37 a harpist players calluses look more like blisters. It’s occasionally white blisters.
4:19 I knew right away when they noticed the blister on his knuckle that he is a trumpet player! I play the clarinet, piano, ukulele, and alto saxophone, and it can be painful to hold up the whole saxophone with your thumb because of how straight/bent back it has to be to play properly, but I haven't gotten any calluses or blisters from it yet. 😅
Nice. That was me
@@AwesomeBoysJPTV that was a great cover of CAFE! Keep up the great work!
yea relatable i have almost a callus 😂😂
Guys, let's make it clear once and for all. Lung size or lung capacity doesn't matter in wind instruments! It's the controll and efficiency of the player that matter, as well as teaching your brain that you're not going to die from not taking a new breath after blowing for 10-15 seconds.
Very true! Although it does help for the lower winds
Except flute. The instrument doesn't give any pushback on a flute so if you want to make some of those long phrases you have to have decent lung capacity.
Yeah, my teacher told me that hand size doesn't matter on piano, too
I'm a not particularly tall flutist (1.60m), and this rule applies to flute as well. Yes, it does help to some extent to have bigger lungs but still, you can play long phrases without huge lungs.
As a clarinetist, lung capacity matters. But lung capacity is more about training than it is a physical characteristic - most people who don’t have a physical disability can build up enough capacity. And you can still play well even if you can’t, but it will definitely be harder - especially for instruments like bass clarinet that just take a lot of air.
As a violinist, when I was younger there used to be lines on my fingers for a bit after playing for a while but evententually it got less and less. As a clarinetist, I have a bump/callous where on my right hand thumb
Saxophones also have that except the entire right thumb is just muscle lol
Yeah, that's why I thought the trumpet player was a clarinet one because of the callous on the thumb
yeah i play clarinet too and i get a callous thingy on my right thumb. someone else i know who also plays clarinet has cork or something on their thumb rest so they dont have it
@@_Gheenell_ i thought they were at first but the thingy holding it up wouldn’t have matched with the scar on their thumb
I never had callouses after playing violin either. I didn’t develop them until I started cello, and then only on my ring finger and pinky in the beginning.
As a bassoonist I could tell the harp player didn’t play bassoon just from the ring looking outline on the ring finger. On the right hand, since on the bassoon, that key is flat and not an open hole that wouldn’t leave a mark like that
1:10 for anyone wondering, that’s the animato from Franz Strauss nocturno for horn. All the other horn players will know it
I debated whether I should submit my hands or not, but I couldn't muster up the courage XD Lots of love and respect for everyone who did! Edit: I don't understand how I got so much likes in such a short amount of time, but I hope everyone is having a good day/night. I'm glad to know that I wasn't the only one who was stressed about submitting XD I'm sure some of us will participate in the future and trick Brett and Eddy!! Lots of love
Mee tooo I was stressed af so I didn't submit my hands 😭 next time we should have the courage to participate✊🏼!
I didn't give myself time to back out and just submitted it right away 😂 Got a sore throat a few days later so I'm glad I did it sooner (singer 😂)
me tooo 😭
@@oranjade8689 same here. Im gonna participate next time!
I didn't becoz I didn't want creeps to drool over my hands. 😅
This has to be the only nice way to ask pictures of hands.
I play cello and my calluses are barely noticeable, but they are definitely there if you felt them
I am also a giant person who plays a small instrument, I play piccolo yet I'm 6'3"
As a recorder player, I'm glad one of us were selected for review. As someone with type 1 diabetes, all the marks where I prick my fingers for blood testing would have thoroughly confused Brett and Eddy.
a dexcom fixes that problem xD
Eddy:“You can’t have calluses on the right hand” Jazz bassists:” laugh in pizzicato”
I play three instruments, I wonder wich one they’d guess if they saw my hands
Ive been playing cello for 5 years I absolutely love it
2:22 my cello teacher had a photo of that painting in his studio and always referred to Adam's hand (on the left) as the perfect bowhold and God's hand (on the right) as the perfect left hand extension! Even though the hands are swapped haha.
Do u know what piece the cellist was playing?
@@JohnDoe-sx2ij Moses variations by paganini
@@korukomi thx
Answering Brett's question at the end with a "yes sir, practice, sir" is how much you guys motivate me lol
It’s such a treat to listen to everyone play!
I’m an oboist and for some of us we use our left thumb nail to test if our knife is sharp, so that can be a tell tale sign.
Allow me to feel attacked: there are much bigger recorders than the sopranino, so big hands really are welcome :)
Exactly!!!
one thing i love about the recorder is that they come in so many different sizes. some are better for small hands and some are better for big hands, but most can be played by most people.
@@morusalba6405 very true.
@@morusalba6405 Yes!! I do have a quite uneven fingers and thus for some of my fingers the bigger recorders are better and for some the smaller. Recorder is just vertisile.
Yeah, exactly. I specifically uploaded a sopranino recorder vid to mess with them :D I actually mostly play the alto which is bigger
I love how Brett just took his bow out of nowhere, like, prepared for everything. 😂
Vince played the violin beautifully! Wow Incredible! Love to Vince 🎻
Watching this makes me realize how soothing classic guitar is. The sound is like an oasis in the desert.
Let's make this happen: Playing Fan's pieces, String Quartet edition Could be awesome *speaking of that, i have an idea for any fan doing this: ask Twoset to tune down their violin little bit, and little bit throughout the piece would ask them like tune them as like a melody
please omg
This NEEDS to happen
YES OMG STRING QUARTETS ARE LITERALLY THE BEST CHAMBER MUSIC (in my opinion hihi)
u did it!
@@teerthavyas4779 yeahhhh
I was so confident that William plays classical guitar when I saw his nails hahah. The nail shape is so unique and recognisable as I play classical guitar as well. I actually wanted to submit my hand photo cuz some of my nails were perfect but my middle finger nail split and I had to cut it. Unfortunately I only saw the post after the ddl. Still, shout out to classical guitarists out there!
It's the ramp. Gotta have that nice smooth curve from flesh to nail.
Thanks, glad to have some recognition in the CG community! 🤘😁
Same lmao
Yup, guitar gang represent!
I remember the piece that french horn player was playing. Its bring back my memory of my solos song.
Going through your old videos because they make me happy. You guys motivated me when I had to study for my music history exam and I passed 😎
The picture of Vince's hands is so beautiful. The nail polish, the color scheme, the fingers.. everything is so nice

@@fishinspacey it's a mixture of OMG and Sasa
@@VinceEliezerNChua awesome thanks!
Yo Vince that was an amazing rendition of God Save the King! Keep up the great work!
As a horn player, I would say that it depends on how you place your fingers on the keys. If you mainly use the top of your fingers to press the keys, like I do, longer nails on the left hand are really annoying. I always cut mine very short. Many people play with the pad of the fingers though, and in that case it doesn't really matter. The right hand doesn't matter either way.
The right hand can get green, though! If the instrument is unlaquered or the laquer worn down too much😆
@@asgeirsoe Hahaha, yeah, that would have been a dead giveaway. :D
I was thinking that the right hand had short nails because it is more comfortable to make a fist without long nails cutting into your palm?
@@SusanCallHutchison Except you don't have your hand curled up in a fist in your bell. It's open. :)
@@lottawiklund8606 Ah. Thanks!
2:56 saw the pic and immediately went "classical guitar" and the whole time they were discussing it, my only thought was "Come on, that's clearly classical guitar!" The reveal made me so unreasonably happy :D It's been a while since I've played myself with life being hectic... I think it's time to clip and file my nails and get back into practice. :D
hey do you still practice?
As a classical guitarist I knew immediatly that number 4 is also a classical guitarist. My mother always complains how weird it looks that one hand has long nails and the other hand short one :'D
PLEASE DO A PART TWO!!!! 🙌🙌🙌
Yes !!!
Normal people: i cut my nails because i dont want them long Musicians: i cut my nails because i have to sing
Thank you whoever uploads these for the chapters :)
Natasha's performance was so enchanting
I’ve been waiting for this!
Same,and didn't have my hands
Roger this roger that really went for a photoshoot
I was checking all the hands for the clarinet callous on the thumb. Such a great idea for a video!
That pianist should try to play that piece with my tiny hands, then he'll realize what a huge advantage (literally) he has 😢
as a person who likes looking at hands (no, not in a kinky way), i like this also bc it gives me reference for drawing :]
0:11 you can't believe people submitted their hands? Well, you should realize that when you ask, no matter how ridiculous, your fans will support you 🥰🥰🥰
You two are a blast!
Y'all bring me so much happiness
Next: guessing hands by looking at instruments
Playing guitar and violin is a bit awkward at times. I cut my nails normally for my left hand, but I need long nails on my right for my acoustic guitar (I prefer classical with short nails, but it's impractical for the steel strings of the acoustic). I compromised, with my thumb and pinky being cut normally, so I can hold the bow correctly, and all the rest are long
Same! 😂 But I play double bass and classical guitar, and I have only 3 fingers with semi-long nails. Long nails on right hand is actually hindering for playing pizz on bass so I have to find the right length that can compromise for playing both 🤯
same bro! i play violin and guitar, my right hand is a confused nail mess
lmao same here! like half of my right thumbnail is filed off and my pinky is short but then the rest are long and my left hand is just short. my roommate (who’s got a whole nail business) has a heart attack every time she sees them but oh well 😭
Use finger picks. It will solve your problems
@@RodrigoSilva-cy4no Finger picks can never match the sound of natural nails, at least not the ones i've tried.
That was actually very entertaining. Thanks, Twoset!
This made me happy on a tough day! Thanks!
fun video idea: people send audio recordings of their playing and brett and eddy guess how long they've been playing
Now that could be embarrassing. I've been learning violin for 4 months and at a stage that some would reach in a fortnight... but hey, it's not a competition and I'm looking to the next 15 years before I'm half decent!
THEY ACTUALLY DID IT I SAW THEIR INSTA STORY
@@thecatsays4666 IKR I WAS REWATCHING THIS VIDEO AND I SAW THE COMMENT LIKE OMG 😮
"Lot of them were rickrolls, thank you very much for them" This is why I love these guys ❤
The moment I saw the harp one, I didn't even notice the fact that the pinkies didn't have calluses. I just saw the bigger callus on the left middle finger and I immediately knew
No but as a classical guitar player, those are some of the prettiest guitar nails I’ve seen, like I’m actually jealous
If I'd shown my hand after a month of touring, they'd probably guessed coal miner... With all the string scum and various cuts and bruises... (Guitar, bass, diverse percussions)
😂
💀
😂😂😂😂
The moment she started playing the cello I got goosebumps. Just enjoyed it.
3:30 I instantly knew guitar, because that's how my finger nails look as well for guitar. Short on the hand for the fret board to actually play, but long nails on the other hand for strumming the strings. It's for fingerstyle, commonly used for classical guitar, because the nails give a brighter tone than fingers do. So it's like having a pick on the end of each finger. So not a trick, you just thought to hard about it
It was weirdly validating to see the pianist short fingernails thing get mentioned because I've always kept my nails short and have a vague impression of it being piano related since I've played since I was a kid, but watching this-yeah, it's a thing!
The dog was the best of them all, not gonna lie. These type of videos are so fun.
*Me regretting not sending photos of my hands because I'm a pianist but also have small hands*
6:19 I immediately recognized the harpist's calluses! *Harp gang uniiite* It's so painful when after a while whithout playing they are gone, and you must to start again with tons of string tension😭
Y’all should do a part 2!!!
I wanted to submit my hands, but the courier wouldn't accept dismembered body parts. Said something about company policy, so I dont know how the rest of you did it. Kudos tho!
I like this episode a lot because I personally enjoy observing others’ hands, especially athletes and instrument performers. You can really tell their hard work just by looking at their hands.
I NEED THAT PRACTICE SHIRT NOW
bassoonist here
I play oboe and bassoon
I felt the exact same, truly rare for you to see a bassoonist, so them just mentioning it mad me insanely joyful
Yeah, the classical guitar one was pretty obvious, especially with the pinky on the right hand being clipped down. My hands currently look exactly like that.
I thought it was pretty obvious too! 🤷♂️🤣
Wow...Brett's gut instinct is amazing... 😳😳😳
ahhh i immediately know the first guitarist simply because of how their left hand's pointer and pinky finger naturally bent inwards...
I like Eddie’s hair was sticking up the whole video.
You guys have no idea how much you helped me lately, it has been a bad and stressful month the whole last January and having so many old videos of yours to watch and so many new ones gave me a lot of material to get distracted. I even used some videos that I knew by heart as a background to fall asleep (only to suddenly remember that their volume was often NOT suitable to sleep at all!). Thank you!
hope you’re doing better now mate
LMAO as a flautist, I was checking my hands throughout the video and as soon as the flautist came up I did a comparison and went "yup, definitely flute!"
Do you by any chance know the peace Natasha played?? I would really like to listen to more of it
@@gabrielaalves7265 @Esra Uzuner found it, it's The Snowstorm II.Waltz from Sviridov
Omg I'm so happy to see a guzheng player! I play piano mainly, but I've played viola and guzheng in the past 2 years. my fingers are short, which makes it hard for me to reach trill notes and such on the piano. if I played the guzheng long term, my fingers would have blisters on them, since I'm usually lazy to wear the guzheng nails and I'd have glue from the tape for attaching the nails if I did wear them 😂
I feel like being rickrolled stopped being annoying years ago and now when someone gets you with it you just appreciate the fact that the circle is still going
