* ArtisticLicenseMusic: [[ConversationalTroping They are especially fine-tuned to this.]] They can point out if a certain movie scene is getting musical theory all wrong or a performance is completely fake, and even ''dub over said performances with how they would actually sound like without editing'' at some points.

** The idea that [[HardWorkHardlyWorks "geniuses are born, not created"]], given how much they emphasize practicing. They can be seen visibly trying to keep their anger at this in check during the Vov Dylan review video in order to maintain the comedic tone. See TranquilFury below.

* BonusMaterial: If the charades is smooth sailing for the majority, they often include a bonus challenge, often with the justification that they need to hit the 10 minute mark. Also, random snaps and videos with either of them saying or acting oddly out of character will sometimes be posted with no context until a new video is dropped and revealed that it was a punishment.

'''Eddy:''' Does your wife also say [[SpeedSex you finish in 38 seconds?]]

* ModestyTowel: Eddy in their '7 classical pieces for Valentines'. He's practically shirtless, and has to constantly re-adjust it. The towel does come off temporarily at one point.

** That being said, they do acknowledge and appreciate effort when they see it, as seen in their reviews of ''Series/TheUmbrellaAcademy2019'' and the LiveActionAdaptation of ''Manga/NodameCantabile''.

--->'''Eddy''': How did you guess that? \\

''[[https://www.twosetviolin.com/ TwoSet Violin]]'' are a comedic duo of Asian-Australian classical violinists Brett Yang (杨博尧/楊博堯, ''Yáng Bóyáo'') and Eddy Chen (陈韦丞/陳韋丞, ''Chén Wéichéng''). The two founded a [=YouTube=] channel in 2014 where they started out doing violin covers before moving on to specializing in comedy sketches about life as a classical musician, reviewing fake/bad musical performances (referred to as "roasting"), violin challenges, charades, and other games, as well as criticizing the portrayal of classical music in popular culture.

* BoyBand: B2TSM, a fictional band consisting of five great composers: Music/JohannSebastianBach, Music/LudwigVanBeethoven, Music/PyotrIlyichTchaikovsky, Music/DmitriShostakovich, and Music/WolfgangAmadeusMozart. Their debut single, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MomYN46jnVs Duh Duh Duh Dum]]" is interspersed with StandardSnippets from their works and [[BoastfulRap each composer rapping about their accomplishments]], and includes them all dancing and seductively looking at the camera in typical boy-band fashion.

* FilkSong: They've made two parodies of Music/BlackPink songs: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MomYN46jnVs Duh Duh Duh Dum]]" is a parody of "DDU-DU DDU-DU", and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klmvaVvv_0c Sell Out]]" is a parody of "Shut Down". The latter actually got them in hot water with Blackpink fans, as it's framed as how Niccolo Paganini would react to Blackpink using his piece "La Campanella" [[RockMeAmadeus as the backing track for "Shut Down"]]; as such, it's a DissTrack against Blackpink for "copying" him.

* SurprisinglyGoodForeignLanguage: Technically not that surprising as they were both born in Taiwan and emigrated as young children, they are both fluent in Chinese and can adeptly read, comprehend and sometimes point out subbing faults in the Chinese media they critique.

** In their parody video of 'If composers were alive today', Eddy takes the role of Tchaikovsky and proposes to "Sergei" (Brett).

** In their 'Top 7 classical pieces for valentines day' video, Brett introduces his girlfriend Edwina (which is simply Eddy in drag). The whole video is littered with DoubleEntendre. At the end, Brett wraps his arm around Edwina, and she pushes him down. The camera cuts to black accompanied by Brett's scream.
** In '100 different ways to play a phrase', the video itself isn't serious and alternates between legit techniques and just made up styles. One of ways is 'straight' and then followed up with 'not straight'. Their arms criss-cross and there's quite some tongue action going on...

** In '5 Most Difficult Violin Pieces', Eddy takes advantage of Brett's merch promo to [[https://youtu.be/awWpqR7yUHM?t=826s smack his... behind.]]
** In 'What note is this?', Brett slaps his own ass--multiple times!--at Eddy's request. [[https://youtu.be/JlqTt9C8s0g?t=355s Seriously.]]
** In 'When People Bully You For Playing Violin' and 'How To Talk To Girls Using Classical Music (literally)', both of them hit on Edwina. Complete with terrible pickup lines and flexing.

* SignatureMove: Well, more like signature ''piece'', but the point still stands. For Brett, it's Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D Major; for Eddy, it's Sibelius' Violin Concerto in D minor.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood:

* ConsummateProfessional: Subverted. As individuals, Brett and Eddy take their craft very seriously and they each have a white tie suit, proof that they have performed at the highest level with white tie formality required. As twoset, they have great success with their tour and live show parodies where they perform in casual wear and just act like their regular selves.

** This hasn't stopped "Interesting!" (involving the young composer Alma Deutscher) from being one of their gentler RunningGags.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: In a violin charades game with Ray Chen where they have to imitate and guess the violinist, Ray jokes that game for being unfair because it felt like he's playing against a married couple
-->'''Ray:''' I feel like playing charades with you guys is like playing against a couple. Like who's been married. It's just so unfair.

* ModestyTowel: Eddy in their '7 classical pieces for Valentines'. He's practically shirtless, and has to constantly readjust it. The towel does come off temporarily at one point.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WH9Rkd0cwv4 In the following video]], Brett and Eddy break with their comedic antics to address the recent rise in Asian hate. The video is uncharacteristically serious for the channel and mostly involves the two discussing their own personal experiences with racism.

* PlotArmor: How Ling Ling insurance and potions work

** Violas
** If you can x slowly, you can x quickly
** "Are you doctor yet? Come back when you doctor!"
* ShipperOnDeck: The eponymous Editor-san gives the impression they are. A number of clips featuring Eddy and Brett holding hands, touching or simply lingering their gaze are zoomed in with romantic overtones added. Sometimes the editor adds comments referring to both Eddy and Brett as their dads.
* ShipTease: Dear Ling Ling do they really dish it out.

** In one Facebook stories/snap, Brett teases that Eddy was gonna propose and holds his hand out for Eddy with a "kiss my hand." Eddy actually goes for it.
** In their 'Top 7 classical pieces for valentines day' video, Brett introduces his girlfriend Edwina (which is simply Eddy in drag.) The whole video is littered with DoubleEntendre. At the end, Brett wraps his arm around Edwina, and she pushes him down. The camera cuts to black accompanied by Brett's scream.

* ShownTheirWork: Oh dear god yes. They exhibit a great deal of knowledge of violin techniques and what being a classical musician entails, especially in "roasting" videos.
* SignatureMove: Well, more like signature ''piece,'' but the point still stands. For Brett, it's Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D Major; for Eddy, it's Sibelius' Violin Concerto in D minor.
** In one of their videos, Brett asks Eddy what piece he would perform if it was his last time playing violin ''ever.'' In response, Eddy plays the second movement of the Sibelius Violin Concerto, and Brett looks on with a soft smile on his face and agrees that as far as last pieces go, that is a very good choice indeed.
* SoMuchForStealth: Brett manages to sneak his way into the rehearsal with Lang Lang and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra none the wiser. That is, until Eddy [[note]]TheAnticipator, who is the only one to notice Brett is missing, since their seats are next to each other[[/note]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKlas9lRGxg sabotages Brett...]]

''[[https://www.twosetviolin.com/ TwoSet Violin]]'' are a comedic duo of Asian-Australian classical violinists Brett Yang (杨博尧 ''Yáng Bóyáo'') and Eddy Chen (陈韦丞 ''Chén Wéichéng'').

---> '''Eddy''': I never get distracted by girls.

---> '''Eddy''': ''[music fades into awkward silence]'' Did you assume I like girls?

---> '''Eddy''': ''(coyly)'' Call us!

---> '''Eddy:''' Can be young, old, men or women, doesn't matter, as long as you play a stringed instrument...

* ArtisticLicenseMusic: They are especially fine-tuned to this. They can point out if a certain movie scene is getting musical theory all wrong or a performance is completely fake, and even ''dub over said performances with how they would actually sound like without editing'' at some points.

--->'''Brett:''' ''[nearly clawing at his face] Excuse me?'' What about all the practice?

** The "Flight of the Bumblebee" is becoming this for them. They have nothing against the piece, per se, but they dislike how it tends to get overmilked and overhyped by mainstream media.

** In a rant video, Brett has clearly had enough of the comments telling them their channel isn't funny and mocking them. He looks sternly at the camera and asks why "the fuck" are the haters still following their content. Coming from the often dead-faced Brett, Even Eddy appears to be taken aback by the sudden temperament change for a split second.
* BeyondTheImpossible: Apparently disrupting the fabric of time is one of [[TheGhost Ling]] [[ParodySue Ling]]'s many achievements; he practices the violin ''40 hours a day''. In fact, any skill you can think of under the sky, Ling Ling can do it while doing something else at the same time.

** "If you can X slowly, you can X quickly."

-->'''Vov Dylan''': My wife likes to say she's married to the fastest fingers in the world.\\
'''Eddy''': Does your wife also say [[SpeedSex you finish in 38 seconds?]]

--->'''Eddy''': This is what you hear when death approaches you.

-->'''Ray''': I feel like playing charades with you guys is like playing against a couple. Like who's been married. It's just so unfair.

-->'''Eddy''': Nah, man, our first video was so cringey that we set it on private. We locked it away so no one would ever see it.

** In '5 Most Difficult Violin Pieces', Eddy takes advantage of Brett's merch promo to [[https://youtu.be/awWpqR7yUHM?t=826 smack his...behind.]]
** In 'What note is this?', Brett slaps his own ass—multiple times!—at Eddy's request. [[https://youtu.be/JlqTt9C8s0g?t=355 Seriously.]]

-->'''Brett''': Actually, you know what, I changed my mind, he's pretty good-looking. Looks do matter.

* TeamSpirit: The entire premise and evolution of Twoset Violin screams this. Eddy originally started out being better at guessing and is the more attentive and intuitive of the two. Brett later becomes better at guessing, and the Eddy-Brett combo is on par with (and even overtakes) the Brett-Eddy combo in charades. In a lot of their recent videos, Brett sometimes shoots an answer at random and actually gets it close or he GETS IT RIGHT before Eddy even starts to demo. Brett explains he does so by being observant enough and intuitive of how Eddy would think and react first.

---> '''Eddy''': To be fair, I think, Brett you guessed that based on your psychology of knowing me.
** And later
--> '''Eddy''': How did you guess that?
--> '''Brett''': Cause that's what- that's all I know.
--> '''Eddy''': See, that's another example of Brett just knowing my psychology.

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Eddy is afraid of cockroaches.

* UpToEleven: Some of their time constraint challenge videos involve them composing, improvising and sight reading pieces or duets within a short amount of time and then performing in full, regardless of how practice went. Also, the Ling Ling challenges. They are required to play the pieces selected under conditions intentionally designed to be uncomfortable and disrupting such as playing upside down, playing the violin like a cello, lowering the pitch of the A string, dancing, switching hands, playing alternating bars or notes, playing entirely on the g string, playing several octaves higher, or playing at an increased tempo

* TheEmpath: Brett maintains a cooler demeanour of the two but Eddy's frantic energy can influence his. In their vlog in japan where they play a horror vr, Brett panics when Eddy panics.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: They bumble around with geography and math in their videos, play horribly and spastically, make skits that are way too relatable to mediocre or beginner violin players, so surely they can't be all that good right? Yes, but videos of them playing seriously will leave you wondering how you forgot that they are highly competent violinists in the first place. Fans will come to their defense that they are allowed to do so because beneath all that, they know full well what they are doing and talking about.

* AdultFear: The ''Series/AmericasGotTalent'' stripping flautist act. Said flautist is apparently a ''music teacher''. As Brett points out, one can only imagine what happens if his students turn on the TV and see their teacher doing such things…
