The rare process of making beautiful sounds with wood. Korean monk's wooden instrument Company homepage and sales site: www.google.com/maps/place/%EC...
Fascinating wooden “bells”. I found the sound track to the video to be too loud and distracting. I would have liked to have heard the wooden instruments more.
Same here. I thought that they all must sound different. And then the ones that were burnt, were they duds or what? Lastly, while this is cool and takes incredible skill and effort, I used to make the same sounds with plastic cups. Sorry for the rambling.
The creativity of artisans never fails to amaze me! "King Process" from Pekalongan, Central Java, Indonesia showcases the true artistic potential of wood. I'm intrigued by the unique sounds produced by the Korean monk's wooden instrument. Such mastery deserves recognition and success. Looking forward to exploring more of your fascinating craftsmanship! 👏🌳🎶
Очень круто!!! Спасибо за это видео, теперь я знаю как производят этот прекрасный инструмент. 👍🏽 Хотелось бы приобрести его именно в этой мастерской 👏🏽 Мастера- золотые руки🙌🏽
I have not seen greater disregard for safety at work, that he has not lost a hand is a miracle..No he visto mayor desprecio por la seguridad en el trabajo, que no haya perdido una mano es un milagro
Wooden fish or bell for buddhist ritual. With aging, old n completely dried woodfish will make better sound, ... the ones here seems fresh, 'wet' sound! Anyhow, they are just accessories to facilitate cadence in group rythmic chanting. Alone, it could be used for concentration or meditation on emptiness of sound etc
The wooden musical instruments are pretty, but the background music for the first two minutessounds like somone going to war. Maybe nature sounds or relaxing music is better than triumphant war like aggressive music.
I enjoyed watching this process, but it left me with more questions. Is there anyplace to go for more information. e.g. Wood species, availability of purchasing finished products, was there water in the first large box that they built the fire under or was it just a type of kiln (couldn't tell if the blanks were isolated or just thrown in). The list of questions goes on.....Also wondered how long the operators had been doing these jobs, as it seemed that measurements, repeatability, etc. were pretty random. Also as previously pointed out, osha or the epa wouldn't tolerate most of the machinery or processes displayed. (Lots of ways to get injured ) long sleeves, gloves can easily get caught in spinning objects, no eye or ear protection, etc. It's no wonder that in order for the USA to make competitive products (price and quality wise), we have to invest in 5 axis CNC's or just make molded plastic versions.
Wood is usually came from Cherry tree. You can buy from Coupang, and name of this bell is 목탁(Mok Tak). Copy this words into Coupang search window, and you can find it. He has experience of 50 years for this bell, Mok Tak, so he does not need to meausre like typical manufactiring. You can not make this by 5x CNC, because the sound can be made by hand made process. HSE is good points
These remind me of the bell weights some people use...actually could it be the other way around now? Those weights are reminiscent of these wooden bells?!?
