In west Bolivia panflutes this size are frequently used, and they are called Toyos. The Toyos are one of the oldest instruments in the Andes and are often used in ceremonial music. They are most commonly used in the Aymara communities around Lake Titicaca but are also used in urban areas by "folkloric" and Andean bands. I myself have composed pieces of music for this instrument and made covers of pieces of music for this instrument, and during the recording process lightheadedness and tingling of the extremities is something I have become accustomed to dealing with. Using this instrument for long periods of time can induce a meditative/hypnotic effect.
@@lamb555v Oh my there are so many; Imantata by Grupo Aymara is my favourite, it is a psychedelic, hypnotic jacha siku. I myself have done a cover of the piece on my last album Nuestra Tierra but I doubled the length of it and used bombos because I don't have a caja. Aymara music is so amazing some of the best channels for it are CC Jalsury and Chakana Producciones
@@wilsonhoylemusicaboliviana Imantata by Grupo Aymara is a great piece of autochthonic music 👍 my favourite songs by Grupo Aymara are Mi Raza and Mallku Kunturi 😁 Good stuff on your YT channel, great work 👍😁 Toyos is my favourite musical instrument but here where I live I can make it only out of plastic 😕
@@lamb555v it doesnt matter if its made of plastic. Here in Bolivia I have seen sikus and quenas made from plastic tubes from the hardware store. Here I leave you with an amazing album of Aymara music, the first 4 tracks are a fusion with Classical music, the rest is pure aymara music music.ua-cam.com/play/OLAK5uy_mCRp-OQOLtOkGUrZGAmV15asjOiu0dLww.html&si=sL-98Yu6OyW3Xjs6 And another of both Aymara and Quechua music music.ua-cam.com/play/OLAK5uy_l2zVJa22aHO8xZ2xebhRb0NwoxVVYvoAs.html&si=MwR0Q7twXaXHppAe
if you put a labium on the pipes, and added a keyboard+air supply+a manual way of blocking the pipes from the air(tracker action would be too hard), it could be like a positive organ
I loved that song that you created during the montage of the video!! Actually there were two moments when you went into really incredible selfmade music from self made instruments. Nicholas, I am curious if you will ever transit into making woodwinds out if wind. There is such a nice and natural resonance in the wooden flutes. You have a knack for building and for production, I am curious if you will venture into the realm of wood. Cheers!
wood in wind instruments has time and again been proven to have no effect on the sound. it doesn't vibrate like a soundboard. you can watch nicolas' video "acoustics of pvc pipe" from 9 years ago where he at one point presents an audience with a wooden and a pvc flute, and learn his stance on the subject.
This was awesome!! I am currently building one that size too but 3D printed. Note: a small diameter in relation to the lengh trigger the harmonics easier. Thus making the fondamental way harder to get.
I enjoy your music. It is different from most western music I listen to, and it is very fun and refreshing to hear. The fact that you make your instruments also makes it so much more fun. Keep up the good work!
I wonder what Ricardo's initial reaction was when he entered the room with wall to wall flutes? He probably have a lot of flutes himself but ... :D And man those are some raw sounds in those tubes !!!
La composition est très bonne encore une fois. Et il y a qq chose de réconfortant de te voir prendre des leçons de souffle avec le niveau que tu as. J'essayerai de travailler le souffle diaphragme, c'est un truc qui me freine dans l'apprentissage de la flûte traversière folk. Super format de vidéo avec fabrication, explications, technique, rencontre entre musiciens et composition, concert.
Playing low whistle with The Chieftains' Paddy Moloney in 86, he had another use for PVC pipe - he kept his penny whistles in a length of 6" pipe, hinged at the side!
Love the music in this video, you are a great musician. You are a great artist with your hands and the sounds that make your sound harmonious to a great piece. Keep up the good work.
You should do some soundtrack work! Have you ever heard an album from the 1980’s by Andreas Vollenveider called White Winds? It has lots of exotic flutes, blown bottles, electric harp, synthesizers and sound effects. I think you would enjoy it!
You should check out the bubble wrap pan flute that Simone Giertz just released a video about today!!! I think you’d appreciate it. It’s like a bizarre hybrid of your instrument aesthetic combined with a little Martin from Wintergatan.
Kinda crazy idea: use 2 small ish (like 10mm OD) T pieces like TT but with a stopper in the middle, so they work like 2 L pieces but structurally strong, then use a pair of pipes that goes to a bag with a one way valve on the intake, and a button that lets the air in the bag out, so you can play large wind instruments without being out of breath. Maybe you'd need a stopper with a slit on the output to mimic the mouth.
Leave out the wooden stoppers and buzz into the tubes and you have a PDQ Bach instrument known as a "windbreaker" because it sounds like tuned farting. They'll go up an octave, so they need to be big like that. I put extensions in the ends that can slide in and out to make them tunable, although they may end up being a semitone or even a whole tone flat compared to the pitch they emit as pan pipes. You might only be able to "play" the upper rank (the sharps) this way unless you separate them, my design isn't chromatic. I have to tune it to each key like a lever harp. I included it in my "Party Pipes" sample set/instrument along with the same pipes played the correct way, but we're no longer allowed to link to things so... those who want it can go look for it, or not.
2:20 I wanted to tell you, Nicolas, that the music that happens around here, I think is very cinematic! It sounds really cool! I think you should lean that way when making more music! :) Also, I think you would be a great Composer! Maybe you could look around and find some studios that need music!
Ok i'm more of a theater person, but you're videos are really cool. I love all of the diffrent instruments you make, they're so creative and diverse, and they sound great.
Not much. The main difference is how well a material can be shaped and HOLD that shape, for critical surfaces like a fipple wedge or utaguchi, which is why these structures are frequently made of something harder and then attached to the rest of the instrument..
I wonder if it would take less breath if you cut a labium on the far edge of each pipe? I did this with a 45-degree angle when I made a similar pan flute because Mark Shepard recommends it in his "Simple Flutes" book, but I never thought to compare the amount of breath with a labium and without one.
Hi friend, I really liked your work, very beautiful. I love these things and I play bamboo instruments but I want to make one similar to yours I already have everything I started but I can't tune my tuners don't accept such low notes. how do you tune? help me there please!
hahahaha, the look on his face when he asked for the big one. I don't need to speak the language to know he was saying some variation of 'Ok, let me at that silly beast'
Do you use regular PVC pipes or uPVC pipes? I wanted to try to build one of your instruments but I'm concerned about the presence of phtalates and BPA which are notoriously nocive if inhaled or ingested.
Salut Nicolas ! Je me demandais, est-il possible d'acheter certains de tes instruments en ligne ? J'ai cherché mais rien trouvé... Et j'aimerais tellement pouvoir t'acheter une flûte harmonique ! Je penses que je ne suis pas le seul en plus ^^
Hey they make tools that pull zip ties taught and cuts the end in one motion, you would probably benefit from one on projects like these 😅 just search zip tie gun

It would be great to get some subtitles on the French language sections. Always great to see your creations, Nicolas!
I came here to say the same thing.
It would be great if you learn French.
Lol.
Nicolas singlehandedly keeping the PVC pipe industry in business.

I wish someone would put a labium on my pipe.🤣
Juvenile, I know, couldn’t help myself.
@@rabbithowls71 that would make it easier to blow...
Someone's making both positive and portative organs on here, if anyone's interested.

Excelente video y música
YES! MORE OF THIS! - You're on the money - you sir are a genius. Please full version of that Push it to the Limit cover!
The way you put the whole video together was so amazing la fin sur la flûte troppppp fort
Awesome plumber's tunes!
L’instrumentiste est monstrueux !! Et on apprécie l’incroyable rencontre entre deux flûtistes passionnés, bravo à toi Nicolas

This Video brings to you the coolest rendition of "Push it to the Limit" i've ever heard.
Awesome! :D
Cool songs and interesting video. Thank you)
Ricardo there making that all look so easy!
Love to see the collaboration between you and other musicians.

It would be nice to have more videos about this panflute. It's nice.
Another fantastic video Nicolas! Great to have another guest! You are always a pleasure to watch, keep on tootin' brother!
Amazing how sci fi it sounds
Excellent travail ..

Coming from the guitar world, I did always hear tubes sound awesome
Do we have a video on that flute at 3:19? Cause if we haven't got one we need one! It sounds AMAZING!
that is a very Huge Pai-Xiao, well done!
T’es génial excellent travail Nicolas :) continue je comprends rien à la musique mais j’aime trop regarder 🤣
There is group from New Caledonia I believe... called Wasi Ka Nanara.... the most amazing bamboo “flute” orchestra
