MANY instrument manufacturing companies went out of Business through the Great Depression. Before that, there were hundreds of piano makers alone. By 1940, there were less than a dozen left really.
Because the music -> symphonies became more demanding and the range and volume of the instruments increased. That's why instruments like the transverse flute were made of metal and with many keys. Since then, the wooden flute with finger holes and of course the recorder are no longer in the orchestra.
I always thought the original tension on the string (from a finger on a fret) made the sound. I never would have thought secondary tension did anything. / I never would have imagined a second bow in a simultaneous pass could create a harmony when run on the same set of strings. I would say it's a game changer, but I can't play any instruments. Maybe for the musicians in the audience it's an eye opener.
Now that's just amazing! You sound like an a whole band of mountain fiddlers all by yourself! You're truly gifted by the LORD, both with these beautiful instruments and the talent and ability to make them sing!
...no 'LORD' had anything to do with our artist's acquiring and learning to play her instruments...why must you godgoofs always need to credit some imaginary, cloud-mafia boss for the products of real people's work and credit some imaginary, cloud mafia boss
Oh my goodness I've just found my new role model! I'm 22 and currently have about 16 instruments I think. Scrolling through your channel I can see what I want to be like in a few more years. Thank you!
Great job!!👍🏾 I've never ever seen or heard or experienced an instrument of this magnitude. I believe God Inspired that lady to gift you with "that big bag" of instruments because He Gifted you to share His magnificence in blessing the rest of us! Thank Him & thank you for sharing your unique talent 😊
That was remarkably good, especially with the extra bow! Wow! You may have just played that instrument in a way that no one else has done in human history! Can you imagine that? Awesome!
Incredible! A magical instrument fairy god-mother, a sorcerer double-bow maker, and music like never heard before, this video has it all! Thank you for sharing this magical story and instrument! 💐🎄💕
I'll admit I clicked because i thought you had a really neat name, and I'm glad I did! Thank you for doing these, I'm going to have a good time exploring the rest of your videos!
You are amazing! I don’t usually watch music vids on RU-vid, but I have watched six of your’s and am delighted. I thank you for taking the time to tell us about an instrument’s history before playing, it enriches the experience. I am not sure I will ever want to hear these carols any other way now. Thanks again for sharing 😊
That was amazing. I was a music major and I played several instruments, but I’ve never heard of that instrument before. And thank you for sharing with us how it works and even playing it. That thing sounds beautiful and it’s just amazing and you’re an amazing teacher. I’ll bet you were a fantastic Music Teacher, I got along very well with my teachers and junior high and high school and thank you so much again for introducing us to that wonderful instrument that is truly fabulous
Goodness me, what a delightful Yuletide chance discovery you and your posts are. I must tell all my fellow folk music friends about you. The amazing American ingenuity of both inventing and adapting musical instruments for their own particular requirements deserves a book of its own. From simple plantation gourd banjo predecessor to the addition of the 5th drone string to Earl Scruggs, from back street mandolin buskers in Naples to Bill Munro and bluegrass. A whole great story waiting to be told. You are telling it in your own way through actual demonstrations. Bless you and Christmas greetings from Wiltshire in England.
I’ve seen some other instruments in this style, and holy cow, the double bow is SO COOL!!!! Reminds me of the double- or triple-mallet techniques on marimba. I think it really elevates the instrument into a lot more possibilities for application to more particular (as opposed to just recreational) music-making!! Great idea on your part, and great craftsmanship from your friend!!!
Thank you for sharing. I have always wanted to learn music but never given the opportunity. What you are sharing is so very unique and enjoyable for me. Thank you.
Hi, DeeDee... Thank you SO much for all your beautiful musical offerings on your many gorgeous instruments! I just discovered you here on RU-vid yesterday & I'm so glad I did! Do you think you'll do DVDs along with your CDs & downloads so you playing the instruments can be seen also? Thanks again & enjoy!!! 🎼🎶🎵🎶
Thank you for sharing that unusual instrument and it's voice as Ive a few instruments like that but have not the no how to show them on line, Seasons Greetings to you and yours.🎶🌈😎
🫡😉🤍🕊🤍 As my musically gifted friends Adriane (piano and voice) and Helen (vibraphone and voice) used to say....Holy Wow! They have both Flown Up 🕊✨️🌈✨️ in the past year, and I've been missing their Sweet voices...but it feels like they are both here tonight, appreciating the flow of Grace that brought your wonderful videos and vintage🎻🎻📯🪗🥁 instruments to me. Thank you for encouraging a Reunion with my Dear Girls. 🕊🌲🌲🌲🪷🎄✨️🎇🌠🌌🌹🕯🩷💖🤍🕊🌲 May your fingers fly with love. 💖
Holy Toledo, What a gorgeous three-part harmony sound with those special bows. It sounds like a bunch of jingle bells jingling along with it in addition to the wonderful music. “On Dasher, on Dancer”…etc.!
Wasn't it great that companies made instruments for people to learn and enjoy, rather than apps to aimlessly watch? Your playing is wonderful, thanks for sharing.
Wow this was really cool! That double bow action at the end sounded incredible I thought. There are probably so many things that could sound awesome done like that. Either way, I really like this instrument. Thank you for showing it off.
