    I can only imagine how satisfying it must be to create music with an instrument crafted by your own hand.

    • @TOMWOLDON
      @TOMWOLDON  4 роки тому +9

      @Craig Williams Oh yes you´re right.It´s a very especially feeling to make music with some of my handmade instruments.It`s like playing with your baby.
      Take care of you.

      I made a bowed psaltery, I was just so happy it made sound considering how badly I handed the whole process. But that did make it so much more exciting.

    This was a joy to watch. My great grandfather lived to 103 as did his dear wife, who did herbals. He and his father, from Bavaria, operated a waterpowered sawmill in Ohio, in which I was partly raised. While their work centered on furniture and marquetry, I know the spirit of this creation. I am so grateful to have stumbled upon your channel and body of work. At 71, with my heritage, I figure I have at least 32 more years to learn new things!

    • @TOMWOLDON

      @Jack Strubbe People never stop learning. Even with 103 you can always go new ways and be interested in new things. If you are 103 tell me about your adventures. Take care and get old healthy. Greetings from bavaria Tom.

      @TOMWOLDON  2 роки тому +1

      TR][ODES Unfortunately I have to disappoint you. The plans and the way of proceeding are in my brain. Each instrument is individually handcrafted and is therefore a real one-off. The materials and the structure give me the form and thus the sound. Here some basics. The length varies between 55-80 cm. The width of 18- 26cm. The height 16-26 mm. I mainly use maple, spruce, oak, ash, willow and chestnut as wood. I hope I could help you. Let me know how your project develops. I hope you will succeed.

    Amazing. I am just brainstorming myself to do the same. Your great video popped up on my youtube just a the right time.
    Questions : what's the purpose of tge small long pieces of wood at 4:45 ?
    How and where did you get the blueprints of the lyre ?

    • @TOMWOLDON
      @TOMWOLDON  4 роки тому

      @Arnaud Lansalot Nice if i inspired you to build a lyre. Have fun.
      The woods at 4:45 are the bass bars. They transmit the sound from the top to the inside of the lyre, creating a full and rounded sound. They also stabilize the top. These woods are found in all stringed instruments.
      There are no blueprints; every instrument I build has different dimensions depending on the nature of the wood.
      The origin of the design lies in an archaeological find.
      I hope you enjoy building your lyra. Greetings from Bavaria.Tom

      @arnaudlansalot7386 4 роки тому

      My build project is few months old now. i was searching "tutorials" and tricks for it when i watched your video.
      Ok, no blueprints. but each parts has several dimensons which are dependant of each other like those of the bass bars, their lenght should be precise regarding the size of the instrument.
      I saw the archeological finding when i checked Atelier Skald which built this kind of model.

    • @TOMWOLDON
      @TOMWOLDON  4 роки тому

      @Arnaud Lansalot I have built over 50 Lyras now and each instrument is a little different from the others. With each construction I have added experience and next time I try to improve the sound and the inner construction. Each time I learn the sensitive feeling for the sound anew. The constant learning from experience drives me to build a really unique instrument. I pass this knowledge on to the next generation through oral tradition.It was bevor 2200 years ago and it is still so today.

    Warum kein Schallloch? Wäre das denn dem Klang & Lautstärke nicht zuträglich?
    Respekt dafür.

      Dies werde ich des Öfteren gefragt.Diese Leier ist einem Grabfund aus dem Frühmittelalter nachempfunden.Und tatsächlich ,das Original hat vier Löcher.Diese sind allerdings so klein das ich nicht glaube, dass es Schalllöcher sind .Ich habe die Originalleier gesehen und daraufhin mit Schalllöchern experimentiert.Dabei habe ich keinen signifikanten Unterschied bei Lautstärke und Klang festgestellt. Außerdem würden sich durch ein Loch in der Decke die Zugkräfte verändern und der Innenaufbau müsste anders gestaltet sein.Da dies ein erheblicher Mehraufwand für keine qualitative Verbesserung ist ,baue ich meine Leiern ohne Schalllöcher.Danke für dein Kommentar und deine Frage.
      Viele Grüße aus Bayern.Tom

      Hello Paolo. I prefer steel strings from dulcimer. I think electric guitar strings are a littlebit different, but I guess they're works. Greetings to Chile. Take care of your health. Tom from Bavaria.
