Great performance, very well played! I love the tunes and the sound of that accordion, I've been looking at picking up a Clifden. What is your tuning, dry or swing?
Thanks so much! I've had my accordion retuned many times to find the amount of «swing» I prefer. I'd say this is one the dry side, but not as dry as many people seem to prefer. If it gets to dry it looses all the life imo, on the other hand if it gets to wet it starts to sound a bit silly
Takk for det, Tom! Dette er en et Saltarelle Clifden, et ganske nedstrippet instrument når det kommer til stemmer, antall basser etc, men perfekt til denne typen musikk! Er enig i at det er et pent instrument :)
@@AndersLillebomusic jeg fikk tilfeldigvis et trekkspill av en nabo i helgen som var, så nå tenker jeg prøve å lære meg det, og bruke til et akustisk trio band jeg har. Videoene dine er til stor inspirasjon!😄👍 legg gjerne ut mer filmer om du får tid til det i fremtiden, en fryd å høre på!
I understand the process and route of deciding to learn the guitar or piano or something like that, something normal. But at what point in life does a man decide to learn this what ever it is ? Was it like a childhood dream ? Or did he fall over in a music shop onto loads of instruments and that gave him the idea ?
Just got my hardanger fiddle ( i am fiddler since BEFORE YOU TUBE existed). Honestly> little intimdated tuning ALL the strings. Emphasis on double stop is fun fun fun.Crikey Just looking at all the inlays !!!! Looking at earth and hearing music is a drug
Don’t ever chuck that box in the lake…..! Very entertaining video, impressive technical stuff on the keys……loved it. I’ve owned two piano key boxes in my time…..the first I put a spade through in a rage, the second I sold to pay an electricity bill! I regret that now.
Great video. I am over 70, and feel I've so much still to learn. I really wish I'd been able to study a folk course in the North East, but these courses just weren't available then. Given that most of us don't use our degrees in any relevant way in any case, learning a life skill like music at university is a no brainer whether you use it directly 😀or not. I studied classics and ended up being an accountant! I play in both DADGAD and standard, but I find that in sessions I favour standard because I don't like to change capo. Actually, in sessions I tend to back myself both ways, since I use a repurposed baritone guitar with a 740mm scale tuned down two semitones (DGCFAD) with a Kyser K-lever drop D (green) capo at the second fret (equivalent to a 660mm scale at the second fret). This gives me a low D in the bass (which can be fretted to E with the K lever), and leaves me free to move between keys without changing capo position. I also use a Kyser K-lever (blue) DADGAD capo at the second fret (fretting only the 3rd, 4th and 5th strings), which again enables me to fret the bottom string to E with the lever while leaving the top two strings open (to ring A and D), and maintaining the facility to access standard tuning too. Sadly, these Kyser K-lever capos are no longer made, which is often the way with good ideas. I've also experimented with Scruggs-Keith tuners (on strings 6, 2 and 1), Tronical tuners and Roadie tuners over the years with Scruggs-Keith tuners being the quickest, Roadie tuners the more accurate and Tronical not great. If I had a decent ear, I'd be able to switch tunings quickly and without tuners, but in sessions and live this process can take a while, although if your fiddle or box player tells a good story (and they usually do) that helps! Thanks you again for your excellent video.😃
Great stuff, you two! Had the pleasure seeing Joel live in Munich a couple of years ago when I had only just started taking my harmonicas back to my favourite music (irish trad) stumbled across your videos yesterday looking for some Star of Munster recording, finding the beautiful but hardly known "Where´s the wife" at the end of your barndances and now finding this video after chasing for recordings of another unknown favourites of mine (Whelan´s aka Grainne Mhaoil) in the CD I had pruchased from Joel. Rights of man under the belt already I must now try this showman´s fancy! Thanks to you both, being very inspiring!
Some Cow/Bukkehorns can have an impressive tone range. My three Cowhorns plays slightly over an octave and all of them are capable of overblowing. These instruments are grate fun to play
As an accordion player myself, your music is delightful - light and perfectly paced with beautifully executed ornamentation which never distracts from the melody - great job!
Hey there Anders, this is so beautiful. Would it be ok to play this song or others on my podcast with credit and links to your video? I am currently doing a series on various elements of Scandinavian culture [topics like folklore, mythology, viking blacksmithing, archeology, hunting, Norwegian fiddle] and love to add beautiful fitting music. Thank you! My podcast is called Our Numinous Nature.
