    The mystery sound on the rollout piano (5:01) is called a "finger squeak" on guitar, where if you shift up the neck with your fingers dragging on the strings, you get that noise. They apparently took a sample and then pitch shifted it up and down to make a scale...?

  • @alecrisser12
    @alecrisser12 2 роки тому

    Two instruments I feel I should be on this list are the 12 hole ocarina and the Yamaha YRF-21 Fife. The Ocarina is a bit pricier but easier to play, however the Fife is a little more than $10, and if you know how to play a flute you can get much more nuanced sounds out of it. With that face you can do about 80% of what you could do on a flute, however it sounds a little shrill compared to the flute or the Ocarina.
