As a trumpet player that's literally a whistle with 4 keys (LITERALLY WHO PUTS 4 KEYS ON A Bb TRUMPET) in the vague shape of a trumpet anyways I appreciate the addition of a spit valve on the tuning slide and you held it mostly right considering the construction of the instrument. Also nice durability mine would've crumpled Edit: yes I'm aware the Piccalo trumpet exists
@@hamsandwhich7627 I play trumpet and I did. People hate trumpets I guess since I saw this awful “trumpet” and then my friend sent me videos of people misusing their trumpets 😔
"Durability Level: Nokia Phone" the true measurement of the hardness scale...seriously anything to a Nokia phone is "Tis but a scratch", those things are from the Stone Age
This kid in my band class actually had a clarinet from Amazon…… it was so awful and he paid like 125.00 for it… he quit…. It also barely made noise past a Bb
As a violinst, I was reduced to hysterical laughter and crying due to the fact that A) A violin was held in such a way B) the "bow" wasn't even made with reals horse hair and C) The violin was a TOY (how dare the creators make such a mockery of a marvelous instrument?!) JK, I'm not really that much of a music nerd/jerk. The only thing that really bothered me was the bow.
Listen- Kalimba's are so versatile that you can play any collection or combination of keys, not know what you were doing, and it would still sound amazing.
Me who's a violinist: *Dying watching her trying to hold the instrument right, not even caring if she gets the bow hand right at this point but has it paused and praying she figures it out*
As a kalimbist/kalimba player for 3 years, i'm really happy that you added this in your video as for me, kalimba is a pretty underrated/unpopular instrument and rarely anyone i meet knows about this instrument (or atleast around my area ..) so im really suprised you do :DD
@@tinamarie9136 oh no that’s just as bad!! I play bass clarinet and can play Bb clarinet as well, 8 keys is like removing all the pinky keys and adding just one regular key! Like clarinets have more keys then a saxophone (at least more than a tenor saxophone) btw I play tenor saxophone as well… Those kids toys for trumpet/sax/clarinet are just as bad or worse than the mini guitars you see in the dollar store but they won’t time so they’re worse than the one in this video
Yes, "The Happy Birthday Song" is public domain, you'll be happy to know; There was a whole court case about it several years ago... _And public domain won! 🥳🥳🥳_ So play it as much as you wish to, With any and all inexpensive instruments! 🎺 (even the not-featured kazoo) [Also, if you're looking for a good kalimba channel on RU-vid, Tip's Kalimba is the channel that I recommend you look into. 🙂]
"You're really not that ugly, you're actually kind of cute". Elise's creativity knows no bounds. Edit:why is it sad that this is the most amount of likes I've ever got lol
This Kalimba you received sounds really great. This brand is also amazing. They started as a small business and they have this thing of planting a tree for every kalimba they sell. I have one of these and my beloved shiny Kimi. Both sound so beautiful!
As a percussionist I can tell you usually professional tambourines, for orchestral uses, costs around 350 to even 800 euros...being a percussionist is soooo expensive!
@@bluejay9638 a nice marimba can cost anywhere between like 5 thousand and 17 thousand dollars and that's only the marimba. then you have to get a wide variety of mallets because they all sound so different. violins and other stringed instruments can cost a lot, but it's no denying that mallet percussion is expensive.
hey i have the same guitar but pink 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 As a trumpet player that's literally a whistle with 4 keys (LITERALLY WHO PUTS 4 KEYS ON A Bb TRUMPET) in the vague shape of a trumpet anyways I appreciate the addition of a spit valve on the tuning slide and you held it mostly right considering the construction of the instrument.

I got so excited when you played that Kalimba oh my gosh- I have around 3 now, as I got addicted after my first Kalimba :)) (The glass ones are the heaviest but the prettiest sounding in my opinion)
I do own a kalimba! They are origanaly an african instrement used to replicate the sound of rain. And yes you use your thumbs. I recommend looking at tourials first (if you want to play). Its pretty simple, I’m sure you will learn it quickly. Good luck!
Fun Fact: if I am correct that Kalimba would be 75 dollars (u.s) Also some tips for to playing growing out your thumb nails will help plucking the keys . Another quick fact the kalimba is also called the Thumb Piano 🎹
As someone that's played the piano for roughly 25 years, I've always wanted to try the melodica. And the music producer in me wants to get a quality one and experiment to see what it sounds like in an actual song
Hey Elise! I started following you a lot of years ago, when you released your Riptide ukelele tutorial/cover hahah You made me start playing the ukelele and i now also play a bunch of other instruments and found out my dream is to become a musician/music teacher and I'm in my examyear currently so almost time to follow my dreams and get into the music school/conservatory I really want to get into! :) This is partly because of you, I don't know if i would have ever started this journey if you didn't make me start playing the uke I'm so proud of you for getting 2M subscribers, you deserve it so much, ily and thank you so much :))
I've been watching her since I was like- 9. I didn't have this account back then so I used to be on my mom's account and would barely get chance to use her phone but whenever I did, I'd search her channel up because I enjoyed her content so much lmao. It's surprising how her old videos feel like yesterday now but im glad that im still here and I'm so happy that she's so famous now
2:33 Funny enough, happy birthday is actually copyrighted. Some company bought the rights to it which is why restaurants don't sing it to you on your birthday.
As someone who wants to learn and wants to have a Violin.. this made me punch my pillow when the Violin didn’t actually play *and when you realized that you have to insert a battery for it to play music.*
The melodica seemed like the best of the cheap instruments you bought (really the "trumpet" is a 4-note melodica, but that's boring science). The kalimba is a really nice one, and since it was a gift (cost you $0.) it's the best value. Learned: Get people to give me great things as gifts.
in indonesia, it's actually quite common to see the melodica. most schools here had a team of melodica players for the school band, even the kindergarden has a band of it. here, it's known as "pianika"
my sister plays the trumpet, there is a trumpet that has 4 valves, but typically it has only 3. the one with 4 is called a piccolo trumpet, so it must go higher then a regular trumpet.
0:13 BTS looks a little different since they last performed... Moral of the video: No matter whether you're rich or poor, anyone can make music if they put their heart and soul into it. Music unites all
