2Cellos, the internationally acclaimed musical duo featuring Luka Šulić and Hauser, is a global sensation. Their stunning and groundbreaking approach to cello music has captivated the world's attention. They recently celebrated their 10th anniversary, masterfully transforming classical musical instruments into what can only be described as genre-defying art.
Today, we're going to take a look at their unrivaled success. This dynamite duo showcases some of the finest tracks for streaming on Spotify. Fellow aspiring music fans can also make a splash on Spotify, just like 2Cellos!
Based on an interview conducted at the Violin Studio, the dynamic duo was asked about their musical instruments. We know that Luka Šulić and Hauser use Yamaha Silent Cellos for shows, but they use wooden acoustic cellos for classical music. All of the recordings are created using wooden cellos. In terms of strings, they use spirals called tungsten C and G, as well as Evah Pirazzi soloists D and A.
Occasionally, they'll use Larsen Soloist Strong A strings. Their bow is typically Yamaha carbon fiber—it doesn't break as easily.
For wood connoisseurs, cellos are typically made from hand-carved wood with a spruce top and maple on the back, neck, and sides. The bellies are typically softwood like spruce or pine. For the music enthusiasts out there, that is top-class.
Now, let's get to the music! As we traverse their remarkable journey to superstardom, everything rapidly comes into sharp focus.
Folks, this duo is a hot property on Spotify, with 1,085,872 followers + and 1,061,547+ monthly listeners.
