I'm back after a summer break, this year will be a good one! Already a lot of ideas and some big projects are coming, stay tuned!

@olehshpytko637 9 месяцев назад

Can you try harp tuning for a 7 string instrument with a slide? It is cool, as every position of a slide creates a perfect octave.

@enoch4499 Год назад

I am begging you, make an album with these instruments. That indian sound was HEALING

@stonemunkyUK Год назад

Not even finished watching the video and I'm already sketching out ideas for my own version of this. Thanks for the inspiration.

@carsonkroeker1160 Год назад

I really enjoy the tones this instrument creates. I always feel a boost of creativity and motivation when I watch your videos.

@NicolasBras Год назад

Thanks a lot!

Hans Zimmer eat your heart out this man's got better sounds from a trip to home depot than almost anything I've heard in a long time

@joethompson11 Год назад

Good to see you back on my feed! Hope you had a great summer!

@NicolasBras Год назад

@bearshield7138 Год назад

Far freaking out This gives me so many ideas for my own building

@HaloBalla Год назад

3:44 that sounds amazing

@LastEuropean 6 месяцев назад

Exactly. Need a whole song with this as the star.

@chillmurray7529 Год назад

One of the coolest sounds I’ve ever heard bro

@thorgal8692 Год назад

This is one of my favourite instruments you built, this sounds sooo nice! awesome, pls more!! :D

@NicolasBras Год назад

I'll make compositions sessions soon, this one will be a part of the orchestra!

@xavierbaudry7160 Год назад

Vraiment Top ! j'adore .

@rays7805 5 месяцев назад

We definitely need more of this.

@bug3518 Год назад

It's like a sitar with a country accent awesome work!

@benjaminlefevre6026 11 месяцев назад

clairement le genre d'instrument innovant qu'on serait chaud à acheter!!! bravo!

@neilshenton1834 Год назад

Fantastic! Love the rich tone of the baritone buzzy blues. 👍😎

@SheriseLandrey Год назад

It’s phenomenal. The sound coming from that instrument. Your RU-vid fans love to see you create. (I was accidentally shown a video where a guy destroyed a baby grand with water. I felt like crying) Your fans watch you create amazing instruments out of even cans. In this destructive world, you are a breath of fresh air.

@JaredUnashamed Год назад

Always a pleasure to see your creations.

@NicolasBras Год назад

Thanks!

@kiko7247 Год назад

Your skills and ideas never cease to amaze me!

@NicolasBras Год назад

Thanks!

@MabInstruments Год назад

I'm impressed with how easily you have got good jawari (the buzzing sound produced by the bridge). This is something I have struggled with many times myself. I will try your method. Thank you very much for demonstrating it in this video.

@NicolasBras Год назад

I was shocked too, it was my first try and it sounds great without any adjustments!

@revathimiriyala1286 Год назад

@gabri43375 Год назад

this is one of my favourite instrument you built

@TheScreamingFrog916 7 месяцев назад

May I suggest adding DIY string bender(s) to this? Love the buzz plate, sitar sound. Might try this angle iron construction tech, for my next build. Thanks for the great videos, and best wishes for your continued success/happiness with music making 🎶🌎☮

@cturtle97 Год назад

Love the sound of this one!

@aleksandrssliseris373 Год назад

Very harmonic sounds ❤

@user-tl1mp6xd5w 2 месяца назад

Always perfect French dude!

@althejazzman Год назад

Your editing is very humble and barely conveys the time and effort that must have gone into this. As usual the end jam sounds so musical it always shows the instrument at it's best.

@NicolasBras Год назад

Thanks a lot!

@frodrichstriepe6011 Год назад

just too crazy !!! keep it going

@NicolasBras Год назад

I will!

@echosixfish1452 Год назад

Please make a wind instrument tutorial, love your channel!

@FeathersOnFire Год назад

Reminds me of the vichithra veena

@VaporChad. Год назад

Man, I love this. I am considering buying one myself. If I could buy one for you I for sure would

@caifanesdelaaalaz8529 Год назад

I love you!!!! Gettings from Mexico¡

@brianspenst1374 Год назад

I have a silimar project on my winter build list. I do not have any eletric guitars at the moment so I am still on the lookout for cheap gear for the pickup and wiring.

@therealzilch Год назад

Another great video, subscribed. cheers from a lyre builder and crazed polymetric/polyrhythmic freak in Vienna, Scott

@RSpudieD Год назад

Nice! That sounds pretty interesting and I like your design!

@NicolasBras Год назад

Thanks!

@BillOwens315 Год назад

I was gathering parts to make a simple electric slide guitar - this gives me so many great ideas!

@NicolasBras Год назад

Slides are so easy to build!

@NoSuchStrings Год назад

Amazing buzzing slide lap guitar

@djayers Год назад

Oh that is lovely! I've got a slide guitar I made ages ago from a heavy plank of hardwood, some cheap acoustic guitar tuners. a spare pickup. Got bored with it, not much different from playing slide on a regular electric. But I've got a length of aluminium extrusion very like what you used. Want sitar!!

@monsieurcintre8800 Год назад

Ah ça faisait longtemps quel plaisir pour les oreilles ! Perso je trouve que ça fait un format parfait. Tu arrives à rester dans un format court tout en donnant quelques détails et réflexions sur la construction de l'instrument, tout en offrant tout de même de superbes passages d'impros... Perso, je pourrai écouter pendant des heures ton sitar maison accompagné de tablas...

@NicolasBras Год назад

Grand merci! J'essaye de garder la longueur cohérente, l'instrument était rapide et simple, la vidéo aussi!

@simonwatson5299 Год назад

WOW, what a machine. I'm gonna make one!! Great video.

@spurioustransients Год назад

Excellent. Now I want to build one!

@baptistenoyer Год назад

Incroyable ça donne vraiment envie d'essayer !

Best!!! Can't wait to hear more of it from ypu

@MarkMcCluney Год назад

Another terrific instrument Nic. I really enjoyed this one. Thanks mate.

@NicolasBras Год назад

Thanks!

@echodelta9 10 месяцев назад

It would appear that having a clean break gives clean tone and slow-soft rolloff gives the buzzes. What about making the piece of steel tilt with a screw adjust or even a lever to express on?

@3rdEyeWide 5 месяцев назад

Slide sitar?! George Harrison's dream instrument!

@manavk 11 месяцев назад

super cool

@pricehodson8530 Год назад

So cool. Love it!

@QuanrumPresence Год назад

Love this! I just started learning the Tabla, and your skills amaze me! Glad I found your channel!!

@HubertMessenger Год назад

I see that you use the Sitar-Bridge without a sewing thread. Do you know, that you can improve the "buzzing" Sitar/Tampura-Sound, if you put a sewing thread underneath the strings on the bridge (just as seen on the Sample Tampura, you showed)? You then have to align the thread exactly to the right position on the bridge, then the sitar effect amplifies phenomenally!

@pauloleodrakon Год назад

It looks like an eletrical Trossingen Lyre, I hope it functions as one aswell

@benoitruaud8909 Год назад

C’est incroyable. On se croirait à Benares.

@studiodespenates Год назад

Très très cool. Bravo.

@lucblanc4384 Год назад

Merci pour l'explication du chevalet plat, je me demandais comment la lyre d'or sumérienne produisait des voix de bovins.

@iamsushi1056 Год назад

That thing has beautiful tone!

@Dadaistics Год назад

Great work as usual. Love it!

@teejer90 Год назад

I love the tracks you make at the end of each video. Do you post these songs somewhere so I can listen to them?

@NicolasBras Год назад

I usually post them on every platforms, and I'm usually late, this one is out since yesterday!

@PhilinthAlceste Год назад

Très beau travail! Bravo!

@Waffles_Syrup Год назад

@jipes Год назад

Franchement bluffé par ce chouette hybrid entre lapsteel et sitar j'adore la corde grave c'est des cordes de guitare ou de Baryton ?

@NicolasBras Год назад

Grand merci! Ce sont des cordes de guitare, mais avec un grand diapason, plus de longueur vibrante!

@CSEMUSICSTUDIO Год назад

Luar biasa. Keren broo 👍

@Volti-Vagra Год назад

4:26 perhaps got an upload of this? that was just... 12/10

@abcolut Год назад

Здорово!

@phla.2493 Год назад

J'aime bien ton Anglais, je le comprends, les Anglophones devraient s'en inspirer.

@saltybildo9448 Год назад

Cool vids nick

@RevvyTone Год назад

This was neat. I wonder how it would sound if you used maybe a wooden "buzz bridge" like and undercut marimba block. Especially if it were rosewood.

@johnduff4625 Год назад

Super cool mec ;)

@siddugow3136 Год назад

Sir pls upload acoustic piano

@kevinspacy2436 Год назад

You've just earned a new subscriber, good sir! Keep up the good work. Also, is there a video of you making the double flute out of PVC pipes? Can't find it anywhere :C
