    I can't understand how you don't have millions of followers dude. You make such cool stuff, and always seem to have a lot of fun doing it, and learning as you go. You might be my spirit animal.

      He makes trash instruments only a child would play with for one day. There are guys making actual instruments on YT. This channel is a joke.

      Quality never gets the attention it deserves and originality is for the few.

    So fun!!! I particularly like the dark tone of the foam window seal covered sticks! And the double sided ones look like they’d be really great for live stuff!!!

    • @GoetiaTV
      @GoetiaTV 9 місяців тому +2

      The window seal ones were my favorite, too. They sounded like they added a subtle flanger effect. Great video, Nicolas!

  • @Guy_makes_thing
    @Guy_makes_thing 9 місяців тому +7

    Oh that's lovely sounding, it almost gives a bit of a phaser/flanger like sound on some notes.
    I wonder if adding a whole bunch of sympathetic strings tuned relatively to the scale of the instrument would further improve it. 😁

    As you're used to the chopsticks but want other shapes, I can't help but suggest steam bending them.
    Making stuff from trash or easily available stuff always rings a bell here.

    • @codahighland
      @codahighland 9 місяців тому +7

      No, it rings 14 one-string harps -- it's obviously not a bell!

  • @MyOtheHedgeFox
    @MyOtheHedgeFox 8 місяців тому +7

    Thank you for researching the shapes of the string strikers (mizrabs, were they?). Getting that is probably the most finicky part in a custom santoor project! Best wishes from Russia!

    All your instruments have such an amazing tone! Have you ever tried to play or build a daxophone? The sound they produce is so wild and otherworldly, and I think would make a great addition to your collection and really compliment your music well. Best wishes and keep up the great work!!!

    Some of these designs almost look like spoons. I wonder how wooden cooking spoons would compare here.
    Anyway, what a great experiment. And I'm sure that new tool will unlock a lot of new possibilities for you.
    Looking forward to see you in the next video.

    I thought the acrylic was “brighter” but wasn’t sure if that was placebo. The rubber coated ones were definitely “darker” though, so I guess the wood is just a little more vibration-absorbent than acrylic. Neat. I definitely agree having all the tonal options available is important - it’s like the pickup selection on a guitar, or changing out the mouthpiece on a saxophone.

    🎶 I have an instrument suggestion. 🎶 This song called "Silent Shout" by "The Knife" has a very unique sound. Doing research I could not find which instrument made this sound for the main tune. I do believe the sound of this instrument is right up your alley. I believe it could be a fun challenge for you and to find out this type of instrument and try to recreate it. If anybody else knows which instrument they are using, I would love to know. Thanks. I love your creative videos; keep up the good work. See you on the next. Jam on...

    I wonder if the strikers are slightly heavier, for example, with metal, how will the sound change? It seems to me that due to the increased inertia, it will be much stronger.

  • @paulflute

    nice.. I wonder of you could tune the cans in some way to pick up the string pitch like a balafon gourd..?

    you can make the last stick version whit the who different material heads round in the grip but put an indicator for which side is down so you can roll them in your fingers to faster switch from leather to wood.

    What it needs is a foot pedal to mute the strings like a palm mute, and pickups, then you could play some very interesting metal with an instrument like this!

  • @karoma7898
    @karoma7898 4 місяці тому +1

    ok this might be the arab in me, but, asisde from the "Oud", this is my favorite instrument yet, it's very similar to the "Qanoun", which is sort of a harp but not really, i'm not an expert i just tells it as i feels it :)

    but did you ever have a look on how these sticks are handled? Holding them between two fingers (no thumb) would improve your playing instantly 😊
