God bless this man. He seems like he’s a kind and soft hearted man.

@aleafox1675 4 года назад

He had amazing parents. My parents did not encourage me toward my natural talents. I'm curious how many parents push their children towards their own dreams instead of their child's natural talents.

Or he forged forward despite the difficulties.

Yes it does sound that way doesn't it.

Love the laughing horn! I also noticed by his nails that he is a fingerstyle guitarist, long on one hand and short on the other.

@bellowphone 4 года назад

Good eye! Ha ha, you're right.

@Sawlon 4 года назад

In the last few years my nails just split and crack. I even tried some salon ones. Guess I'm just drying out in my old age. Haha!

@bellowphone 4 года назад

@@Sawlon I cut a small patch of very fine silk cloth, hold it in place with a pin, and apply a drop of the super-thin type superglue. Then file everything smooth, then apply a topcoat of more superglue. It usually stays put long enough for the nail to grow out. You shouldn't keep doing it too much on the same nail; the glue eventually softens the nail and makes it more likely to break. Don't you hate it when people say, why not just use finger picks? Sure, why not wear gloves while you're at it?

Thanks for the info, Len!!!

COME ON WIRED, YOU'RE BETTER THAN THIS. "This guy" has a name and it's Len Solomon. "This guy" is utterly dismissive of identity and achievement, as if you're anecdotally mentioning that one time someone surprisingly found themselves being a creator.

@john.dough. 2 года назад

"This guy" has better marketing appeal than the name of someone unknown, however important.

I think it's awesome that he made a button keyboard for his pipe organ, it's so much easier to play than piano keys.

Make something that sound like the weird organ Grumpy plays in Snow White

@takenoshortcuts Год назад

Another good story! Thank you. I WOULD SUBSCRIBE, BUT Wired is Anti Musk - which is really ironic, egotistical, and Anti-Wired I should also mention that Wired posted a huge anti-Sanderson piece that was also blatantly elitist, ironic, egotistical, and wrong

@StopFear 3 года назад

We can all appreciate his hobby and the unusual nature of many of the instruments he made. It’s just that many of them aren’t like real instruments but rather advanced noise making machines. It’s just sad that many of them are just “funny” instruments. I am VERY confident that for majority of his income he either does, or tried making standard but very high quality guitars and other instruments that require craft.
