Glissotar is the first member of the Glissonic instrument family, designed to give wind players unprecedented flexibility with glissando. With a magnetic strap instead of keys, the Glissotar gives its user a vast range of new playing possibilities.
Well done, you've built an analogue Otamatone.
now we have the Automatone :)
@@_Geist Finally... The Manualmatone
i use it as the ringtone on my obamaphone.
obamna foam
@@matturner6890I've got this feeling
So appealing
For us to get together and sing (sing!)
Good news for Free Jazz and Noise Afficiados
Unironically exactly correct
😅
I look forward to one thousand renditions of sucking air menacingly through glissotar at my local noise show.
can't wait for kenny g to pick one up
honestly really excited to hear how it's going to be used. microtonal free jazz going to be about twice as easy to make with this too
Finally an instrument for the cantina musicians in Star Wars.
Choosing Donna Lee to demo a "fretless" wind instrument is WILD
That’s so level 10 stuff right there
I wonder if it's an oblique shout out to jaco pastorius
@@YumaUesaka if it is, why not play the gliss at the end of the A section?
missed opportunity
Wait until you hear about the trombone
Babe wake up, new musical instrument just dropped!
You have created the prefect instrument to talk back to my cats in the language they provided for us.
Okay this is cool. I will as a bard l conjure elemental cats with this.
Really cool that someone managed to come up with something genuinely new and novel, with specific features that other similar instruments lack. Whether or not this ends up taking off (I think the world has been hesitant to embrace new instruments for a reason), hats off to the inventors for the excellent work done here.
There are a _lot_ of new instruments made each year.
Do you....
Not use the internet?
It’s not new, this design is a century old.
@@OskarCzechowicz-OmniMusician oh well
@@OskarCzechowicz-OmniMusician it's not, the other ones had a completely different mechanism
@@chloejackson-reynolds444 absolutely not, the same exact mechanism was already invented in the 1920s
Fretless clarinet, i swear a love limitless instruments
its conical bore, instead of cylindrical (the tube gets wider throughout it's entire length, instead staying the same width all the way until the bell, like a clarinet) making it more like a fretless (soprano) saxophone
@hetza7198 ^*I, not i ^*I, not a ^This instrument is definitely not limitless🤷♂️🤦♂️
Would you like to try again?
@@spanqueluv9er what the fuck?
This is very limited and something no one will ever need or wide use. Gimmick fad device.
Prices:
Glissotar - purple, amaranth wooden version - 3 000 EUR (VAT incl.) + postal fee
Glissotar - purple, amaranth wooden version - 2400 EUR (VAT incl.) + postal fee (Leonardo Birthday Sale: until May 31)
Glissotar Jam - black, 3D-printed version - 1 800 EUR (VAT incl.) + postal fee
honestly those aren't unreasonable prices for a brand new design
I’m just posting the data. No judgements!
it's cheaper than i thought lol.
I think the price is high, considering there is no keywork or special hole placement. We just need the Chinese to make some clones for a few hundred dollars.
@@PracticaProphetica 我正在做！
I thought this is going to be some obscure meme video, but this is actually very cool! I'm happy that the creator is from my country as well! ❤️🇭🇺
Foley artists everywhere...rejoice!
Rejoice!!! 🥂🎉🍻
wow wow wow, as I understand, this tape covers the strip-shaped air duct, and where it's pressed down, everything higher up on the air duct is closed. To press down like a string to make the wind system work, and what a sound, simple and ingenious
They use a magnet to make it snap
To play a fretless instrument is already a kind of crazy in my mind (I have played the clarinet in my teens, now I play the bass - with frets), but to imagine somebody waking up one morning and think, I wish I had a fretless woodwind instrument :D Congrats, this is true innovation, that actually looks something useful for the music scene.
What an incredible instrument
I hope to save enough to purchase one one day, I've been fascinated by your design now for over a year
so glad these made it to market, I can't wait to see them in action, in the hands of talented musicians
Thank you! We have a 20% Leonardo's Birthday sale for Glissotar Purpleheart until 31 May!

this has the tone of a clarinet and a saxophone combined and im digging it
I remember seeing this instrument in a 'weird instruments' video posted many years ago! This one definitely stood out to me. Very cool.
This is extremely awesome. A new KIND of instrument, and not just some gimmick. Definitely gonna be keeping my ear out for this.
the only thing this needs to sell me is to compare it against a clarinet on Rhapsody in Blue
The gliss!
I’d LOVE to get one if it was less expensive. 1900 USD for a 3D printed one is kind of insane
I can't afford it, but it's a very normal price for people who have to make a living selling very small batches. Same everywhere, for example recumbent bikes.
How many hours do you think you'd have to spend to make your own though...
@@chickenbobby666I'm in the process of creating a similar instrument (with a double reed rather than a sax mouthpiece). I'm making it out of wood, and I'm about 15 hours into it. (10 hours of modeling, 2 hours of material recovery, 3 hours of turning). And I'm almost done. If we consider the French hourly minimum wage (lowest legal salary), that’s €140. The materials didn't cost me anything but if I had to buy them it would cost me around a hundred euros at most. Considering that I have 10 hours of work left (in reality much less), it would cost a total of €390. We put in the margin, and that’s €500, then taxes (20% in France): €600. There is no industrial process, it is wood, made by hand. I imagine they use very different techniques but $1900 is just excessive. (and @Johnanderson9337 I could share the digital model if you want. (when it's finished))
If you don't mind plastic, there will eventually be designs on Thingiverse, and by eventually I mean there's been a prototype design posted for nearly a decade.
@@chickenbobby666considering you can hit print, then come back 12 hours later to get a finished part, not long at all. the printer is the one taking the time burden
I saw this in a award event for best new instruments. Looks awesome!
Me playing alto sax samples with my keyboard’s ribbon controller:
This is genuinely fascinating, I was skeptical going into this but I really like it
I’ll be honest, haven’t played an instrument since piano back in middle school ~25 years ago but this is genuinely innovative enough to make me want to practice it
Congrats, Figrin D'an has recruited you as an honory member of the Modal Nodes!
And it can do the laser Pew Pews too!
I wonder what a more orchestral ensemble of these would sound like!
About the same as one composed of sax players.
Sax players don't get to join the orchestra.
Neither do piranha plants from yoshi's island (that's what it sounds like)
@@NuncNuncNuncNuncyes they do. There's quite a lot of classical music written for sax, as well as orchestra with sax. There's even quartets with a sax
Though almost all written before the mid twentieth century..
A little pricey for my means, but golly you guys thank you SO MUCH for not obfuscating the mechanism!
I’ve got a cedar tube and some strip magnets, and I’m not above mutilating a clarinet for the mouthpiece. I’m gonna try and DIY up my own!
Let us know how it goes please 🙏🏻
Make me a bass one, pleeeeeeease!
as goofy as this instrument is, I also just know that in like 10 years someone is going to be playing one of these and make the greatest music that I have ever heard
I think it’s pretty sleek honestly
You need to give one to every living member of the AACM... Would love to see what Anthony Braxton or Roscoe Mitchell would do with this
Only a few of us know that abbreviation - Ali Akbar College of Music in Fairfax, CA... But I totally agree.
@@thesoundsmith Association for the Advancement of Creative Music, from Chicago
Yes!
This is absolutely phenomenal!
Hadn't thought of that - bravo!
Wake up babe new instrument dropped
Absolutely brilliant idea! 👍
Imádom! Jó lenne, ha nagyobb reklámot kapna itthon! Inkább erről néznék egy 1 órás műsort a magyar tv-ben, mintsem a sok politikai bullshit-ről. Gratulálok hozzá, egyet én is be akarok szerezni ebből a hangszerből! :D
this thing sounds wicked! I really dig it, such a fun concept.
Centuries from now in some galactic dive....
this is seriously awesome. i’m so so into this. i’m gonna be playing one of these someday. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I feel like I've been waiting all my life for the acoustic otamatone.
Wow an actual good new instrument! Kind of similar to a fretless neck, so cool!
Looks awesome!
We are glad you like it!
Wow i would love to try this! Love the concept
Sounds really good! 😎👍
Sounds great
Thanks!
Like the woodwind response to the trombone. Kinda love it. Wish I had the embouchure for reeds :/ always been a brass guy.
...I sense John Coltrane's "sheets of sound" was an attempt to make his tenor and soprano saxophone release the sounds of this invention...wonderful...
I'm sorry but didn't this already existed? The King company used to make it in the early 20's in Cleveland, it was called a slide saxophone I think. Dr. Cohen owns one in his saxophone collection: ua-cam.com/video/p-b6I1ihh2s/v-deo.html minute 7.19
Yep! The comments on it were, that it was more a novelty instrument, and wasn't build to have a great lifespan, so few of them lasted to this day.
The concept and mechanism looks absolutely identical though.
Looks like it to me.
My exact thought too.
Yup. My dad built several versions of a slide saxophone, one which was exactly like this, and another that had a piece of metal sliding over the hole instead.
YEARS OF DEVELOPMENT
Curious to see how a metal one would sound, maybe even glass? IDK, also why no markings for traditional notes (like a fretless bass with lines/markings)?
absolutely awesome!
Putting a clickable linkto the product in the description would help you a lot.
What is the song/performance at 0:41? I love that groove and the masks!
I think I would KMS if my neighbors ever discovered this. It’s like turning the vuvuzela into a pitchable instrument.
do they sell the 3d models for it? i would totally love to print my own and troubleshoot, and maybe even make a tenor version lmfao. this actually looks cool
This is amazing! Are you also working on the Glissoflute which I saw on the web site?
Make a double reed one for oboists! Id love to toy around with it
This is so cool!
Wow! - I want one!
Honestly exciting stuff here!
This is really cool!
Maybe I should buy this for playing microtonal music
I saw a diagram of this in a Bart Hopkins book almost 30 years ago. This is clearly better/best quality. Love it!!!
Just adding for anyone else that is curious, the book is Musical Instrument Design, and yeah, he goes through a few ways to make them, including one like this, one with a bent strip of wood and some weatherstripping, and one with a steel tube and flexible magnetic tape. Definitely nice to see a fancy option though.
Fascinating.
Nehlybel is DANCING IN HIS GRAVE 😩😩😤😤😤 nice. Thanks for sharing. Amazing ingenuity.
thought it was going to be a glizzy meme but this is also nice
Top notch ad!
Brilliant
Brilliant~✨
now i want one for bassoon
I bought my kid an Otamatone for Christmas and this is like the professional grown up version of it.
Trombonist / EWI fans rejoice! So eager to see this. Will it distribute in China?
this is insanely cool
It's like an acoustic Otamatone. I think I love it.
It sounds incredible! But the intro had me cringe at first. The instrument still seems to need more fine tuning before I’d consider such a device
A *very* interesting instrument! If I'm honest I'm not personally in love the sound, I think it was both better and worse without the mouthpiece? I'd like to know if a double reed is possible.
When I saw the name, I was genuinely concerned someone removed the frets from a guitar and claimed it was a new instrument. I'm glad to see that instead it's a completely unique woodwind.
I mean, fretless guitars are a thing already. not really different than a guitar, but much more free-pitch
@@TheAechBomb Yeah, that's why I was concerned. They already exist, and aren't really a separate instrument.
A sax was made like this in early 1900s
Now THIS, is innovation!
I expect to see this in DCI very soon...
Let’s not get crazy
looks and sounds amazing though perhaps its just me, all of the price options are quite restrictive
Wow, it sounds nice, fireless sax.
Colin Stetson is gonna have a field day with this.
So cool!
We need a bass version of this.
its giving... *acoustic otamatone*
Dude this is fucking awesome!
I really love the timbre, I’m surprised, I thought it would sound average or even bad but it sounds absolutely beautiful. Better than the sax
I can make AMAZING fart noises with this
Floyd Rose equipped fretless soprano saxaphone. I like it!
Have you experimented with other mouthpieces?
French horn through tuba? 🤔
Edit: or a flute/piccolo mouthpiece?
I’m curious if there could be a double-reed version of this
I'd like to hear his whole version of Round Midnight, it sounded great around 2:00.
"Intonation on saxophones ain't easy. Let's make it even harder! 😈"
And on a more serious note, cool stuff! 😁
New instrument drop before GTA 6 is wild.
I'd love to have a bit more specific information on the material of the 3D printed version other than "bio-composite material", because right now that just sounds like PLA, which most of the time is a less than ideal material for a woodwind instrument. Due to its high degradation risk from moisture, heat and UV-radiation, and its low density (and you want a relatively high density material for woodwinds for tonal clarity).
Though there's variations of the common PLA type that are slightly better, would be great some assurance on that matter if this is the case given the price point.
that is dope as hell
Yup, this looks interesting, I want one 😂
I love this concept but holy hell that price, even on the 3D printer Jam version. I appreciate the efforts, and I think instrument makers should be paid. But wouldn’t it be nice to have this… available?
I read it as “the glizzalator” and was disappointed to see it’s just a really cool instrument
That's some wild Tárogató right here
They've done it, a fretless clarinet!
Whats the difference to the Cleveland 1920s Slidesax??
"so we can go in between the notes, like on a violin"
classical violinists spending decades honing their technique to avoid going "in between" the notes:
