    Excellent strings arranger and performer. He was able to create an original strings arrangement for my song (which didn't have any written arrangement for it) and created something that worked so well with the song. Communication was easy and he was open to any instructions/feedback given to him. Incredible work overall. Would definitely work with him again in the future.

    The string arrangement Yoed created truly blew my expectations out of the water. He transformed my song into something much richer and more lush than I could have imagined. The depth and complexity he achieved with the 10 layers of strings took my track from good to extraordinary. His talent and attention to detail are truly remarkable. I couldn't be more thrilled with the results!

    It's never easy to choose a musician on here, with so many talented people to pick from – but I'm so glad I went with Yoed! We were looking for someone who could bring an organic touch to our song, and he went above and beyond to deliver exactly that. He's professional, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with. I’ll definitely be working with him again!

    Beautiful strings for my song, very timely work, and excellent communication and project support. Very highly recommended, Yoed hs done strings on three of my songs so far and will do many more in the future. Very imaginative and appropriate arrangements fit the song's style extremely well.

    Yoed is truly one of a kind. His attention to detail matches his creativity. I’ve worked with him on two songs now and both were brought to life with his parts. He was very accommodating to my short need by date windows and was open for feedback even though I didn’t really have any. I highly suggest him on your next project if you are looking for cello/string arrangements.

    Yoed Nir is not merely a musician—he is a vessel of passion, channeled through strings and soul. In a world where artistry often bends to the weight of commerce, his devotion stands unshaken. His heart, tethered to the tender pull of orchestral strings, bleeds not ink nor coin, but beeswax and pine resin—earthy, sacred, and true.

    When he plays, he does not simply perform. He paints—brushstrokes of sound across the silence, crafting visions only the most sensitive hearts can see.
    Thanks, Shadik

    Yoed is a pleasure to work with. He is an incredible player and has a great sensibility for any song he's playing on. He records his tracks amazingly well and makes it easy to collaborate with remotely. Will absolutely work with Yoed again.

    I'm a returning costumer and Yoed delivered perfect takes with a super fast turn around - again! Without me asking for it, he even added some really cool cello effects (in pitch and tempo) on a separate take that turned out to be very useful. Plug and play - I love it!

    Yoed rules and I'll be back!!
