PVC was probably alive at some point only 50-150 million years before the bamboo
So it's more historical in a way?
@@hommhommhomm Rather prehistoric. History is written down by man.
I've never played a wind instrument in my life before, but because of your channel i want to try to. Thanks!
It is a wide exciting world
If you can afford it, maybe try a reed instrument. They’re very fun
@@nickbarrow2805 Well, i think most people can afford a PVC pipe!
I made instruments from pvc as a child because my dad was a plumber. I'm now inspired to take that much further. Wonderful! Thank you!
It's a good thing that your dad was not a banana farmer.
My dad was also a plumber, and I learned that if you cut a PVC pipe to length with a hacksaw, then you really need to file it smooth if you're going to play it like this.... (ouch)
This is the first video in a long time that's truly made me sit back and marvel. Lovely work. :-) So glad to have found this channel!
Thanks, and welcome!
J'ai pensé la même chose. Je me régale de tes vidéos, Nicolas. J'aime les vidéos de construction artisanale, ludiques tout en étant instructives, les expérimentations, la découverte d'objets techniques, les informations scientifiques... et l'humour. Et bien ici, tout est réuni ! Merci ! En plus tu es un super musicien et compositeur ! Je te souhaite d'être encore plus connu.
The first flute that I ever made was a "native american style flute" out of PVC. I absolutely love the diatonic scale because no matter what your fingers do it has an incredible sound. What you have done is amazing. I would like to learn more about how you created the membrane for the "saxafone" class of instruments.
I wrote an ebook about this, you find everything about the membrane instruments, you can find the infos on the channel!
Excellente présentation. Fil conducteur, fluidité, humour... très bon travail!
I cannot believe that this video only has 60k views. I've watched it multiple times now.
It was quite a hit on facebook, and the french version without subtitles has more views, it was a very important video for my career!
Monsieur, vous êtes passionnant.
Grand merci!
This is awesome, merci nico!
Everybody gangsta till the PVC flautist starts pulling out their connectors...
I have listened to the two flutes about a dozen times and I hear a little more vibration from the bamboo flute than the PVC, but yes they are close and most people probably couldn't hear the difference. Sadly so many people miss the depth of sound because they aren't wearing decent headphones. Until I started producing my own music I had no idea what a difference good headphones make. I love your double and triple flutes...you're proving that knowledge is power. I'm a big fan of PVC, years ago I made many PVC archery bows for my son and all of his friends...some of them were based on ancient bows. PVC is an amazing material, you just have to be careful not to overheat it. Thank you Nicolas.
Wonderful. Thank you, this is really wonderful.
This is one of the coolest videos I've ever seen.
Thanks!
Wow! Great work! I love how you can mix and match all of the different parts
You are talented. You took a concept in physics (resonance) and using your musical knowledge extended it to an entirely new domain using PVC pipes.
Read a book called Nada Brahma by Joachim-Ernst Berendt if you really want your mind blown about how physics and music (and the universe) are connected 😊
La flûte en pvc aussi, a été "vivante" vu qu'elle vient de matières organiques compressées sous terre il y a des millions d'années.
I made already cigar box guitars and flutes with PVC pipes but your video gave me new inspiration and ideas... I see new projects ahead now ;-) Thanks
Bravo ! Génial cet exposé passionnant rehaussé de belle musique (et d'humour) !!!
Wow that is amazing stuff. Thank you for the video. These amazing ideas could include many more people playing musical instruments than the traditional expensive ones can. It's great stuff!
Thanks!
You're right. If someone could manufacture pvc clarinets for a good price, I'd buy one for sure.Just for the fun of it, just to try my skills on wind instruments.
Wow, my head was truly in the clouds ♥
Genio genio Nicolas!magnífico!
Wow! That was a fantastic presentation! Super entertaining even through subtitles! Thank you.
Thanks!
Fascinating. Excellent translation too.
I can not play a reed (sax) or liptip (trumpet) because of jaw shape - I play whistle (recorder) or vibe (kazoo) - yet no one takes these seriously. I study to design an instrument that will use whistles to alter tones produced by a vibe. I may include a slide or drone in the design. I have learned form your video - I am inspired. Thank you.
Great presentation!!
Amazing! I need to try all of this!
Awesome Nicolas!
Complètement fascinant ! Merci pour la découverte
Merci!
Magnifique!
Thanks for Blowing My Mind ;)
Cheers Mate
This is awesome!
Bravo young man, bravo !
Wow. Absolutely WOW.
That's awesome i swear. I'm glad i found your channel :)
Vous êtes particulièrement brillant. Chapeau
Grand merci!
Very informative and very entertaining. With an imagination like his and a bit of inguinuity you can see potential wind instruments all round us. There's a group called the Blue Men that use plastic pipes as drums. They are very entertaining also. I Nicolas should team up with them and create the world's first plastic Fife and drum band, I bet they would sound magnificent.
Thanks, it's quite inspiring!)
You're a master!
Vraiment impressionnant !
lovely
this guy must have walked through the french equivalent of B&Q and picked these up one day lol
great!!!
Excellente!
12:03 You just reinvented the bagpipes without the dead goat
You sir have a new subscriber👍🏼
Thanks and welcome!
Nice sound at 12:14 . keep on the good work
Amazing
great! great!! great!!!!
Brilliant.
Thanks a lot!
Dans les écoles, plutôt que de faire acheter des flûtes à bec aux élèves, ce pourrait être un super projet interdisciplinaire de leur faire fabriquer leurs propres instruments (technologie, sciences, mathématiques, histoire, géographie...). Merci de nous ouvrir les yeux.
Merci!
woaaaaaah !! je suis musicien intervenant, c'est de l'or en barre pour moi ! merciii !
Je suis aussi dumiste de formation, ça laisse des traces!
@@NicolasBras ah j'en étais sûr !
Je suis encore en formation pour ma part 😁
Hey Nicolas can you make a video of making a saxophone out of everything and all that stuff
awsome
Excellent video. I was interested about making "shinobue" and "shakuhachi". If PVC sounds like bamboo because the inner surface, I wonder if it's interesting to use PVC filament instead of ABS if we choose 3d printer.
That last one had a truly ancient feel to it, what instrument was it imitating?
I don't know of any drone reeds but I'm assuming some might exist. If someone knows of any, please let me know!
The vibrating membrane is similar to a reed (heteroglottal reed as the vibrating membrane is on a separate part than the resonating tube). Think clarinet or saxophone for single reeds (like this one) or oboe and bassoon for double reeds (if we had two of these membranes vibrating against each other). The drone adds quite some magic to it, sounding maybe similar to bagpipes, as bagpipes use drones quite a bit.
I don't think this was attempting to imitate an instrument but rather to demonstrate the mechanism of action of reeds (and how it sounds) and how with the whole plug-and-play aspects of the PVC pipes you can easily hook up a drone to it. I also absolutely adored the sound of it but I'm a sucker for drones so I'm biased :)
Wind nerds, correct me if I was wrong in something!
@@progbassftw bagpipes have an internal reed but dont sound much like that, maybe something similar though?
@@jasminejo2424 Yeah, they do sound different. I suppose it must be because of the difference in the sound pressure and in the reeds themselves. Not sure! I would really like to learn, maybe I should start making some PVC instruments!
I mostly mentioned them because of the constant drone and their association with it, given that this last instrument had a drone pipe :)
Sounds like a hurdy gurdy but in woodwind form! The drone gives it a medieval sound.
@@progbassftw I think hulusi is a traditional droned reed.
Extremely interesting and very funny too 😄
quite creative
Thanks!
❤️❤️
I've been making PVC flutes for a while, and I recently made a couple of Native American ones
BRAVOOOOO
Thanks!
One and a half thousand likes and only 13 psychopaths disliking, 😁 just watched 18 min of great content
Thanks a lot!
Bravo ! PS : Le site web en description semble ne plus fonctionner.
Oui Il faut que j'enlève le lien
I'm headed down to the plumbing section of my hardware store...
My favorite music store!
@@NicolasBras I've already made a Kaval! Next will be a Fujara. Then comes the hard part: Learning how to play them!
mais quel génie
definitely needed a glass of whiskey to remember all those connecting pipes HAHAH
The Lego of Art
I assigned the soft sound to PVC, and the sharp sound to Bamboo; so I was wrong as to which was which. But they did sound quite different.
What are the dimensions for the fujara at 10:47 - i've made one but I think the holes are in the wrong place, it doesn't sound very good! Thanks :)
Effectivement une flute faite de plastique ne nous est pas étrangère puisqu'on est nombreux a avoir joué de la fameuse flute yamaha transparente :)
Ma sonorité préféré à 12:14 . Ce qui m'amène à la question : Cette flute a t elle un nom ??
Cest une triple flûte, elle n'a pas de nom particulier!
The instrument saluang from indonesia
This is totally incredible! I want to build some of these now (just be aware though that the dinosaurs are returning and they're going to want their oil back... :-) [smile!] )
Dinosaurs never had much of a sense of humor. Screw’em.
J'aime bien le passage à 11:45.
À comparer avec Pierre Hamon (double flute médiévale).
entre le PVC et le bois noble, c'est quand-même pas pareil...
La double flûte de Pierre Hamon est effectivement superbe (je l'ai essayée!), celle de la vidéo est une version polyvalente pour la démo, les flûtes que je fabrique avec des embouchures et accordages spécifiques sonnent bien mieux, mais pour la conférence j'ai joué le jeu de l'assemblage!
Merci. j'aimerais me mettre au didgeridoo mais les vrais didge en Eucalyptus ça coûte cher ! pour commencer c'est peut-être mieux (et moins cher) de démarrer avec du PVC ou du bambou ?
qu'en pensez-vous ?
Et au niveau du son y a t-il une différence entre eucalyptus, PVC, bambou ?
Merci !
"The double flute of Pierre Hamon is supremely effective"
Well, I guess I can read French now.
@@Spncrgmn1 It's more "effectively superb" but more or less yes.
I have dis peice of pipe, I will play symphony. Thank you.
les bras m'en tombent
Of course a man named Bras makes wind instruments.
That makes more sense in English!
No shakuhachi? 🥺
Tu resemble a Jason Mamoa dans le
thumbnail 😉
9:04 Bah oui, j'me disais bien que je devais pas être le premier à mettre mon embouchure de trompette dans mon saxophone ou dans une flûte 😆
J'aimerais bien trouver le moyen d'en faire un truc qui sonne bien
Wait how did he make the low one at the end? He said a klaxon like horn with a membrane. Anyone know?
It’s just a giant kazoo.
its not a giant kazoo; kazoos make sound by vocalizing into a membrane, the one he has uses a membrane in place of a reed. if you search for diy pvc saxophone on youtube, youll find an instructional video for basically the same thing he made 😊

..... I think he is related to Dr. Seuss....
PVC is waste water pipe, and shouldn't be used in something you're going to put your lips on often. CPVC should be used. That's the potable water pipe. Note that he is actually using CPVC. Gray vs white for PVC
This should really be highlighted in the guitar community, because there are a lot of idiots who believe in the "tonewood" 🤣

This is basically an exploit. This is broken, devs need to patch asap.
really inspiring. But the bamboo and pvc do actually sound different.
Don't forget that PVC contains estrogen which can create hormonal imbalance, particularly with men. It's a toxic plastic. If you put another material on the blowing edge and the finger holes, you'll be fine though.
Amazing
