Lovely playing. May I ask the make BBC and model of that incredible instrument? You make it sound great.

Nicely done Ben! Sounds great!

[@RogerioFonsecaSantos]

Excellent. Questions:
- what gear did you use to record?
- what are the notes for double c-tuning? Sounds very haunting
❤️💥👍

[@BennyBleu]

Thanks Rogerio! I filmed w a Nikon d3400, recorded w a zoom h6, and double C is: gCGCD

[@uncommonsensewithpastormar2913]

How do you make that rhythmic snapping sound? It sounds cool!

[@BennyBleu]

The 'cluck'! It's one of those things like whistling, once you find it, you can't stop doing it. Richie Stearns give a very good explanation of the inner workings of the cluck in this video:
