Thank you for the Video! Thats a nice idea. Short note to 5:05 -> the overtones unfortunately do change in differnt ratios. This is why they tune the bars on multiple spots to make the overtones as harmonic as possible. So in theory you'd need to place putty at multiple spots as well. I tried to hear that effect in your video but I'm not sure If I can hear it. But I would expect the tuner to show an unsteady reading untill the overtones faded away (they sustan about 2s, after that its mostly the fundamental). Would be cool to see more videos of that kind!
Love this video! Leaves me wondering if/where we find just intonation happening naturally. Also are you a La Monte Young fan? Id imagine you'd have to be.
I built tubular bells but i am struggling tuning them. I hear all the harmonics really loud and not even the tuner can tell me the note i am hearing. Is there any trick to do it?
This is super cool!!! and totally out of my expertise. A friend of mine from way back, John Murphree, still makes percussion instruments. He teaches at Boston Conservatory. If you reach out, he might be able to help!
Hi. I'm trying to do this but that mortite stuff isn't available in Europe (or isn't easily obtainable where I am anyway), and need to have this done in 2 weeks so delivery times from the US are not a goer. I've tried blutac and playdough but they just dampen the bar. Why is that and what's so magic about mortite that makes it different? And wondering if there are some easy and cheap alternatives? Your detuning sounds fantastic by the way!!
Thanks! Hopefully I'm not too late replying... the common name in the US is "caulk cord weatherseal," it's intended to go around draughty windows. I think it works because it's more dense that the others you mentioned. I wish I knew of alternatives, but I haven't had time to experiment unfortunately. Good luck!
Wow! This was super cool, I am for sure going to try this out for myself. is there a reason to why you have chosen not to use the resonators when doing this tuning?
The resonators are themselves tuned to match the bar above, so I thought that might actually interfere with the detuned bars. I've tried it with resonators on, too, and I didn't notice a difference.

Very interesting. THank you !
fascinating stuff.

How do you find bowing the notes with Mortite on? Are there any complications?
No complications, works great!
how do I fix a vibrphone note bar loosing sustain?
I've tried many things, unfortunately none seem to work. For now we're stuck with that side effect.
That’s amazing, thanks for upload it. How do dou you fold it? Thanks!!!
Thanks! The stuff is pretty squishy, so it's easy to shape
@@dtlewismusic5727 I'm from Spain and I can't find any material like that. Do you know any other material that I can use? Thanks!
