I always thought the original tension on the string (from a finger on a fret) made the sound. I never would have thought secondary tension did anything. / I never would have imagined a second bow in a simultaneous pass could create a harmony when run on the same set of strings. I would say it's a game changer, but I can't play any instruments. Maybe for the musicians in the audience it's an eye opener.
MANY instrument manufacturing companies went out of Business through the Great Depression. Before that, there were hundreds of piano makers alone. By 1940, there were less than a dozen left really.
Because the music -> symphonies became more demanding and the range and volume of the instruments increased. That's why instruments like the transverse flute were made of metal and with many keys. Since then, the wooden flute with finger holes and of course the recorder are no longer in the orchestra.
Incredible! A magical instrument fairy god-mother, a sorcerer double-bow maker, and music like never heard before, this video has it all! Thank you for sharing this magical story and instrument! 💐🎄💕
Now that's just amazing! You sound like an a whole band of mountain fiddlers all by yourself! You're truly gifted by the LORD, both with these beautiful instruments and the talent and ability to make them sing!
...no 'LORD' had anything to do with our artist's acquiring and learning to play her instruments...why must you godgoofs always need to credit some imaginary, cloud-mafia boss for the products of real people's work and credit some imaginary, cloud mafia boss
I'll admit I clicked because i thought you had a really neat name, and I'm glad I did! Thank you for doing these, I'm going to have a good time exploring the rest of your videos!
Oh my goodness I've just found my new role model! I'm 22 and currently have about 16 instruments I think. Scrolling through your channel I can see what I want to be like in a few more years. Thank you!
Great job!!👍🏾 I've never ever seen or heard or experienced an instrument of this magnitude. I believe God Inspired that lady to gift you with "that big bag" of instruments because He Gifted you to share His magnificence in blessing the rest of us! Thank Him & thank you for sharing your unique talent 😊
You are amazing! I don’t usually watch music vids on UA-cam, but I have watched six of your’s and am delighted. I thank you for taking the time to tell us about an instrument’s history before playing, it enriches the experience. I am not sure I will ever want to hear these carols any other way now. Thanks again for sharing 😊
Thank you for sharing. I have always wanted to learn music but never given the opportunity. What you are sharing is so very unique and enjoyable for me. Thank you.
That was remarkably good, especially with the extra bow! Wow! You may have just played that instrument in a way that no one else has done in human history! Can you imagine that? Awesome!
That was amazing. I was a music major and I played several instruments, but I’ve never heard of that instrument before. And thank you for sharing with us how it works and even playing it. That thing sounds beautiful and it’s just amazing and you’re an amazing teacher. I’ll bet you were a fantastic Music Teacher, I got along very well with my teachers and junior high and high school and thank you so much again for introducing us to that wonderful instrument that is truly fabulous
Thank you for sharing that unusual instrument and it's voice as Ive a few instruments like that but have not the no how to show them on line, Seasons Greetings to you and yours.🎶🌈😎
Thank you👏👏👏for sharing such unique instruments 🎶! A very Merry Christmas to all musicians/multi-instrumentalists / music-makers and dreamers of dreams !
Goodness me, what a delightful Yuletide chance discovery you and your posts are. I must tell all my fellow folk music friends about you. The amazing American ingenuity of both inventing and adapting musical instruments for their own particular requirements deserves a book of its own. From simple plantation gourd banjo predecessor to the addition of the 5th drone string to Earl Scruggs, from back street mandolin buskers in Naples to Bill Munro and bluegrass. A whole great story waiting to be told. You are telling it in your own way through actual demonstrations. Bless you and Christmas greetings from Wiltshire in England.
As a musician myself, i have to say, You are a treasure. Thank you for sharing your music and knowledge of music. You are an angel.
Wow, thank you!
Charm School..
Thanks .Blessings .Love Ya..

What a unique instrument. The double bow was wonderful!

I found her channel. Started at the top of the list and working my way down to the bottom of the list. My heart is warm and my face is smiling
I guess the biggest question is why didn’t many of these instruments survive to our modern day orchestras? They all have such unique sounds.
MANY instrument manufacturing companies went out of
Business through the Great Depression. Before that, there were hundreds of piano makers alone. By 1940, there were less than a dozen left really.
These instruments are beautiful!!!! You play beautifully, and to know how to use these vintage instruments is very impressive!¡😊

My goodness you are so accomplished on so many instruments. I’m in awe.

You’re welcome! Thanks for your kind words!
I’m so glad UA-cam recommended me your channel. Excellent 🥳
The triple bow effect kinda makes it sound like a harmonica. Cool instrument!
Lovely.. it looks like a modern developer of a psaltery.
That's pretty much what I thought, when I first heard it.
Cool. Love the triple bow effect.
Simply amazing. Thank you.
I wish I had you talent. Love to watch you play these instruments that I never heard of . But I am learning about them.
I’m glad you’re enjoying them! We all have our talents….and I’m GRATEFUL!

I wish people would just drop old unique instruments at my door 😔 great rendition!
Thank you Dee Dee for educating and entertaining us!
Merry Christmas!
How on earth do you manage to make an old “snake oil salesman” type of instrument sound so beautiful? 🥲
You played that well
this is so cool, I've never heard of this instrument before! Thanks for sharing!! :D
Excellent,well played
Amazing music, thank you for this!

That was remarkably good, especially with the extra bow! Wow! You may have just played that instrument in a way that no one else has done in human history! Can you imagine that? Awesome!
Well..at 68 I'm learning about new (old) instruments...Great! Love your channel, will subb today! Merry Christmas!😊

I have genuinely never heard one of these played.
That was amazing!!!
Enjoying the music with my kids here on the weekend before Christmas. They played a little autoharp in their music class in the past few years!
Wow! What fun you must have being able to play all of the different instruments so beautifully ! Thank you!
It sounds so beautiful❤
You are amazing !!😮
Awesome instrument
I loved the double bow it sounded so joyful, what an interesting instrument.
That was wonderful 😊
lovely😀
Very interesting
Thank you 🎉this was interesting
I'm loving these videos. you seem like you are such a great music teacher!
Gosh, I bet the Beatles could have made some really AWESOME music with some of those unique musical instruments. 😊❤
Wow! How fun! You are an instrument yourself i think! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing that unusual instrument and it's voice as Ive a few instruments like that but have not the no how to show them on line, Seasons Greetings to you and yours.🎶🌈😎
You are so talented thank you for sharing this with us! It’s so amazing!
This is so fascinating!
Oh wow! That sounds fantastic! Love the double harp ‘Country & Western’ rendition!
Amazing 😍
It reminds me of a shamasen but this is more shrill. A bowed dulcimer is nice too.
If a mountain dulcimer had a child with an autoharp, this would be it.
Just beautiful
So creative using another bow at the same time. Fun to hear how other instruments sound. Thanks! :)
So cool! My wife inherited one that we keep in our living room.
Good stuff.
Beautiful sound
Terrific!
So impressive! Luckily I stumbled upon your videos, you are my new favorite!❤
This is an amazing instrument and you are very talented. Loved hearing this instrument
