I milked 1000 spiders to make guitar strings!! 

piano where when you press down the key it blows air into a recorder pre-set at that note would be funny

A beatbox with guitar strings on it to give it a boomier sound

A lyre made of human bone with hair strings. An air instrument that shoots fireballs when blown. A hurdy gurdy where the wheel is powered by a harley davidson bike. An ordinary violin with a modified chainsaw as a bow. Or all of those toguether lol: A violin with hair strings that uses a moded chainsaw as a bow, wich is powered by a harley davidson bike that spits fire 🤘

guitar with a theremin attached. idk how that would work, but theremins are cool and need to be used in more stuff. maybe a theremin guitar that plays notes corresponding to certain frets like an octave pedal?

guitar using wool you spun as strings

HI, Do you know what the name of the song is?@@Fooma777

@@Fooma777 Yeah, one of the cutest versions i've ever heard. Also super unexpected.

@@Fooma777what’s the song called?

Yes! I was looking for a comment like this

Them concerning for an abundant species instead of endangered ones

While the species as a whole might not necessarily be endangered, collecting that many spiders all at once from such a narrow area could still cause problems to the local insect population. Also, by recruiting villagers who are not really trained for identifying spiders, they could also be causing problems to other unrelated species that got caught. But yeah, for a single string project like this, this is probably a bit overblown. But assuming that they're an actual conservation group, they're still right to be concerned about the man's intent, if it turns out that he had planned to actually commercialize this operation into a bigger project. They're working on hearsays from other villagers, so they might not necessarily have the full picture of what this guy's intent when they come to the hotel looking for him.

I wonder if the hotel staff concluded there were no more insects bothering them because of the hundreds of spiders released in the vicinity

sounds like a fairytale

I like seeing reminders that you can go super far from home, meet totally different people, yet some things never change. We see this with cooking programs like Bourdain's, showing how good food or hospitality is a universal thing. This was like that with music. You can go anywhere with a tuned instrument, not speak a word, and make deep connections with people en masse.

The fact they were all so helpful too

Yeah I really loved seeing them! :] I appreciate these people's friendliness

They are curious but are also in for the money, can't blame them though!

Maybe they will start making strings themselves now.... 😮😅

On their place, wouldn't you be curious either, thou?

Thank you, I scrolled down the comments so far to find this

Oh that's what the song was? I was wondering because it sounded so nice. I wanted to hear it again

Is that song from Madagascar originally? If so, how and where did you hear it? I doubt you live there or even close to it, and obscure songs like that usually don't spread around the world.

@@BrandanLee No, seriously. If someone in that village realizes what just happened, there's about to be a new industry in that village.

The other craziest thing is everyone there can play guitar

- Grandma, grandma, tell us the story about the spiderman! - Ah yes... that one great stranger. He came out of nowhere. Europe some say, some others say south Africa. We never knew for sure. He asked the people of our lovely village to catch spiders for him. All kinds, big ones, small spiders, any type would do. And he would pay us greatly too! So quickly all the village got buckets full of spiders to the kind stranger. - The elder woman took a moment to breath - You wouldn't guess what he had done with the spiders. - What did he do grandma? - He made a guitar string of spider webs! A full guitar string! - There's no way, a spider string is way too weak to be a guitar string! - One kid said and the others followed. It is true, a spider web breaks with the slightest effort of one's hand, imagine as a guitar string! Simply impossible. - Yes, but he did it anyway. - The old woman telling the story rested her hands on her lap - He used many spiders and many many webs, the legend say He kindly asked the spider king for the string in exchange of bugs and water! - And the spider king gave him the web? - Well but of course. The spider king wasn't a fool like yourself. - Ewwww no! I don't want bugs, what would I need them for? - Spiders eat bugs you dummy! - Another kid came in the conversation. - Yes indeed. Some people say that after everything was over, the great Spiderman went away without saying much more. - And what did he do with the spiders? - Oh... you wouldn't like to know. - The old woman stood tall in the front of the children. - Before he went away, some people think that he just - She got close to the kids, talking softly - HE ATE ALL OF THEM! - The old woman screamed and the children went away scared but laughing. And that was the legend of the great Spiderman. thanks for reading, I got carried away but it was fun to write it

Yeap! Totally agree

Yeah it was really nice singing, playing in the madagascar style!

at that moment I hit the like button! Finally some Beautiful music and song we heard - and the video get finalized with this songs in the end and happy moments for the villages!

Anyone know the name of the song he was singing?

I love to know they are named "Heart of Forest", thank you

Golden Orb Weaver Spider.

I thought they were called Fucks

We have our version of those here in Brazil. Got many in my backyard. Anyway, thanks for sharing.

what is the second song in the video it sounds lovely

It's even more impressive if you consider that some mad folks have made a gown/cape from golden orb weaver silk from Madagascar. It's hard to imagine how much labor that must've taken.

I can just see some weird Olympic sport being created where they require spiderweb guitar strings from Madagascar for every competition

Given the attentiveness of the locals, if one were to administrate the process there domestically it looks pretty possible. If they have so much labor readily available, it could be profitable for them if you could train, administer, and distribute.

At the beginning of the video, my first thought was "why tf not try ukulele?" - 4 short strings, less tension... Good proof of concept. But I'm glad you did come so close to E, I'll count it that you made it! I think the string was too thick to be an E string on a regular guitar. Probably would have lasted a lot longer as a B or even G string. If you made it slightly thinner you would have accomplished the E. Really curious about the math you did on how much web you need for it, but then again, you didn't calculate that Ukulele would have been a more attainable goal, so can't trust your number on the string requirements either, can I? :D But hey... MASSIVE PROPS for the project. I have a pet tarantula and I'm not letting you anywhere near it, but still... Well done!

That means the string you made was almost $10k!

I would be so happy if I could learn the name of the song.

Yeah at first I was like ehhhh, then it evolved into a real quest

​@@Mattiaskrantz Okay, I watched it fully and my blood pressure is slowly recovering. It was a really good video, about 60% enjoyable! But for real, insane idea and glad you proved them naysayers wrong!

I’d say he just needed more spiders per string. Or a different method for harvesting.

Its entirely possible since the tensile strength for the web is compared to steel of the same size as said silk web i believe its just a matter of how many spiders can you get to weave it together to make it more durable for playing on

@@unrealsavage9463 Yeah, just needs a lot more spiders. It would also be more helpful if they were using lab bred spiders that they could guarantee the health and diet of the spider and resulting in a more consistent quality of silk. However golden orb weaver silk is incredibly expensive and time consuming. A few years ago people made a cape out of the silk, it took 8 years and is valued at around $400,000. It would be much more efficient to use silk moth caterpillars, which are what are usually used to make silk. Would love to see a guitar strung entirely like this.

thought emporium has a project to make custom silk using the silk genes found in a variety of spiders which can be tuned for different uses. its an old video now but there are even opportunities to use genes that no natural spider uses to give the silk even more interesting properties. basically GMO silk. its pretty interesting and would take much of the animal harvesting right out of the process. getting rid of the "sticky" genes can make durable natural silk replacement and IDK if it was in the video but depending on the genes you can make it bulletproof or stretchy or stronger than rope etc.@@avaleloc1513

We found a few of those! But they were only like every 1/30 of the spiders so quite rare and hard to find enough..
