    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...?

    @projectx5154 2 роки тому +2

    I think harmonica and maybe recorder are the best cheap instruments. Recorder does get expensive if you want to play it professionally. However at harmonica 50$ will pretty much get you professional level instruments that great harmonica players used even decades ago. Of course there are custom 300$ harmonicas but you won't _really_ need them. Most professionals only have few of those.
    Be aware tho, if you get hooked up on them then they can get expensive since there are a lot of different keys and the more experienced you get you will blow them out sooner. But still they are super affordable. I don't know any other instrument where the same model serves both beginners and professionals.

    @alecrisser12 3 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.

    Melodica should've been number one. The fact that you can't play it doesn't take away from the fact that it is a very expressive instrument that supports the full chromatic scale (unlike the diatonic scale of the kalimba), and it can be played as a lead instrument as well as accompaniment.
