I went to college at this university and the curator did masterclasses with my clarinet studio!
Thanks very much It's wondwrful to see this Museum
When I visit the US I'll try my best to visit this amazing museum! My primary objective will be a road trip to camp out at as many national parks as I can, but this museum has got to be included on my trip! I don't know when I'll be able to go, as business hasn't been very good (especially right now, because of Voldemort) and the dollar-real rate (I live in Brazil) is horrifying! So, thanks for this great video and a very interesting (and amusing) look into this remarkable collection!
The collection has outgrown the building, and as such they have been working on renovations for a couple of years. However, their goal is to reopen in summer 2022, but they have already started having performances again
Man, this is so so awesome! I only wish the video was longer, it's soooo cool!
So what's wrong with that violin? I didn't quite figured out how the optical illusion works.
Armadillo? Guitar crotchet? Like, whaaaat?!
Also, I wish I could hear that bowed harp trombone thing, I'm really curious how it sounds like.
Once again, awesome video, I love what you're doing here. It gotta have thousand, not dozens of views.
Thank you! I had over a half an hour of footage, but much of it was repetitive.
The lower bout of the violin is generally built to be larger than the upper bout, so making them the same size gives the illusion that it's larger at the top than the bottom.
There's a decent recording of a trumpet-marine at watch?v=srWxpRxlTbc - although very good players can make it sound even more brassy than that video.
It's extra video time! There are so many requests (stretching into next March, as of this writing-see lentovivace.com/requestqueue.html ) that I knew the likelihood of having a free Thursday to post this episode in the foreseeable future would be slim to none.
Certainly a bit different from what I usually have on the channel, but I've had a blast every time I've been to the NMM and I was excited at the chance to do an episode about the experience.
Awesome video, thanks. I played the Tuba is school and I'm now into digital music production. But it was cool seeing some of the instruments I use in the various keyboards and VSTi's I use in the creation of my compositions. There was a lot here I had never actually seen before. Again, thanks!
Hey, Mr. Nerd... if I put a comment here, do you read them, or should I write to you directly instead? Well, here goes - in case you do read these online comments... I am FROM that area of South Dakota - marched in their college stuff, spent many years of my youth in that part of SD, not that youth has that many years, and yet I have to say, i have never been to this place. I have always wondered what was inside those doors, always wondering how (and why) I could get myself to go down and visit the place (I am now in ND)... now I can honestly say I know what it is like on the inside so now I know if I want to ever take the trip. I don't. While museums can have moments of interest, your excellent video has filled the void of my wondering. Thanks - you saved me a lot of gas and food money. However, IF I am ever back in my home stomping grounds, I will for sure stop in and say hi and ask them about their email policy... it seems about as antiquated as the stuff in their building. I will for sure show this video to my 7/8 graders and tell them I had considered taking them here for a field trip. They will be thankful to you that now they don't have to go. You can imagine how excited 7/8 graders would have in a museum such as this. They have a hard enough time having an aged museum relic such as myself as their teacher let alone look at the instruments I got to play on in those 'younger' days!
Seriously - I was amused at your video - I like to hear you in your prime such as you were here. I figure you had to be nice, though, knowing that the museum people allowed to you video all of this, you had to say nice things... However, I could hear a few between the lines comments... Still, it has to be quite the place and I would think those things are quite valuable - and impressive to see up close. But again, your video is sufficient for me. If you do ever go again, tell me advance - maybe I could force myself to drive down and take the tour with you! Maybe if I can ever convince myself to retire, I could be one of their guides...

Thank you for the kind words! I certainly _do_ wish I'd had the opportunity to talk to someone about the history of the place and get more of an inside scoop on that front. For a place most people don't know about, such an e-mail policy comes across as elitist, especially when they love and encourage folks to talk them up on social media.
The place is honestly an incredible collection and it's always a joy to wander the halls, so the niceness of the front-desk people had little to do with the content of my voiceover. The respect I have for the place is for the collection itself ... not so much for their administrative policies. Hopefully that'll be different if I'm ever in that neck of the woods again.
Very interesting and informative tour. Thanks for taking me along. Really amazing stuff. I bet you could spend a week in there?
Oh, definitely! This doesn't even count all of the things in their collection that they _don't_ have room to show.
Oh, I bet that's true. Thanks again, Thomas.
The music in the video is as hilarious as some of the weird instruments! Perfectly matched.
... hilarious? 🤔
Oh, and it's a shame janko-style isomorphic keyboards (still) haven't caught on. Like, what the hell, humanity?
This is really cool! I’ll have to remember to visit here if I ever go to S. Dakota...! Lol I really enjoyed the composition used as the soundtrack of this fascinating video. I also make videos introducing classical music, but due to the copyright of the recordings, I’m unable to monetize at all. How do you manage this issue in your channel...?
Monetization is often a bit of a tricky subject, and is the reason why I don't use as many musical examples in my videos as I would like. I typically try to find recordings within the public domain-pianosociety and IMSLP have many, as can UA-cam on occasion-but, as often as not, they're falsely flagged by the algorithm. While it sometimes takes a while for the false copyright to be released, I've won all of my disputes, because the recordings are _never_ the recordings that the algorithm thinks they are, and the recording companies are at risk for litigation if they keep a copyright claim on a completely different recording of the same piece.
In instances where I cannot monetize due to a legitimate copyright held by another entity (my Doctor Who video comes to mind), I'm still allowed to have the video up without a strike on my channel, as 1) the BBC has the option to monetize that video, on their behalf, if they so choose, and 2) since this is an educational enterprise, whatever I do in the service of education is covered under fair use statutes.
wow so many weird instruments i could've never imagined
What a wonderful collection of "hardangerfelor"! Also, I wonder how the x-shaped harp would be played... if it's even possible...? Many instruments here seem to have been mostly for show and not for play 😛
That seems to be why they never really caught on. I would _love_ to see that X-shaped harp in action, though ...
"And if recorders are your thing"... 😆
Nice video! When visiting another city or country, every educated person must visit a museum. Visiting museums is very useful and fascinating. A love for the "eternal" and "beautiful" is awakened in a person, the beginnings of greatness and respect for history are inculcated. It is impossible to turn the excursion into something banal, ordinary and boring. The person should be a comprehensively developed person, cultured, educated, critically and analytically thinking, with knowledge of foreign languages. It is the knowledge of a foreign language that opens wide prospects for a person to realize his/her creative potential, career and financial growth. I would like to recommend the practical training course by Yuriy Ivantsiv "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign language", where you can find lots of useful information how to learn a foreign language quickly. Learn a foreign language and realize your creative potential on an international scale! The international community needs creative ideas! Thanks to the author of the channel for a very fascinating tour!
