    Little girl sealed her fate by having the best reason for wanting a violin. Always fun to see Ray working with kids. Also I loved that girl hitting the cowbell.
  • @Jinxit.
    The fact that they could play so well with the string swapped is amazing
  • @keikun17
    How the heck does does a guy like Ray exist. Looks perfect, plays perfect, interacts perfect and can actually host!
  • @SnowwyNT
    Imagine a plot twist ... Maxim Vengerov is one of the contestants 🤣
  • Ray is the type of violinist to interact with people in the most friendly way and also have a great sense of humor. Keep it up, Ray!
  • @dubhlinn2
    Next time somebody asks me how old I am I’m gonna tell them “Vivaldi” with a completely straight face
  • @Colopty
    All the contestants did a great job, I loved their good humour and can-do attitude. The crowd also worked perfectly together to rob Ray blind.
  • @sabrinai
    The "Need a back-up violin!" killed me 😂
  • @JanesOracle
    Ray, bring the busker back! I'm glad the girl won but he actually played the best and there's some real talent there. He seemed very introverted and didn't sell himself very well, but I found him fantastic and also the fact that he wanted a violin for busking could mean he may have some money issues. I'd love to hear him more, his sound was great, he just was holding back verbally. Love what you do, Ray, you're a Ray of sunshine!! Much love from Germany!

    The defeated transition from paganini to howl's moving castle at 12:53 made me cackle out loud
  • The little girl really brought tears to my eyes...Ray and all the audiences were all so warm and friendly!
  • @Gazpolling
    Violinst influencer that actually a master is what we need in this world!
  • @nikanj
    That was the first time Ray played Paganini 1 and he did it without sheet music? That's incredible.
  • @Fefe8484
    The little girl motivated me because I'm learning how to play and sometimes I become discouraged ❤
  • @LucasDonates
    I've seen research about why Stradivarius violins are so valuable. One reason is that the wood comes from trees that lived during the ice age. The wood is tougher than a normal tree producing a unique sound.
  • @Highlander515
    Ray's jovial personality just shines through in this video! He's great with the audience and the kids, who I think will always cherish the memory of sharing the stage with Ray.
