Special MINI C3 SaBye 17 C3-Eb3-F3-G3-Ab3-Bb3-C4-D4-Eb4-F4-G4-Ab4-Bb4-C5-D5-Eb5-F5 Triple Ding Right-handed A4 = 440 Hz Avocado Cream

A wonderful instrument, congrats! 😎👍

The thing is that technically we can make an instrument with any progression of notes, for example, a chromatic (also called semitone) scale, such as C-C#-D-D#-E-F-F#-G. If you play them sequentially, it will sound "strange" because it’s not harmonious. For the sequence of notes to sound harmonious, we need to choose intervals (the musical distances between notes) and play them while skipping the unnecessary notes. For example, C-E-G, and then we hear a beautiful harmony. That’s why, when designing an instrument with a client, we create and tune a beautiful, harmonious sequence of notes for the instrument. These notes, when played in any order, will always sound pleasant and beautiful, conveying the exact mood the client wants to instill in the instrument. However, sometimes a client seeks something more or wants to combine several moods into one instrument. In such cases, we have to include these "strange" notes in the harmony. This approach offers many advantages but requires understanding its purpose. Otherwise, it may interfere with the meditative improvisation experience on the instrument!

@@yudinworkshop Thanks for the answer!

In the Triple Ding layout, we can easily create this sound model for the Pulsar Mini. Yes, of course, all the notes in the sound model are interconnected. Each note vibrates and transmits vibrations through the body, causing other notes on the instrument to vibrate as well. The craftsmanship lies not only in correctly positioning the notes on the body but also in fine-tuning the instrument to capture all these interactions and avoid any unwanted effects.

@@yudinworkshop. Wonderful … many thanks

Enjoy it! I started with 1 of Maksim's creations and let's just say I have multiple shelves now :)

Great custom scale as well!

All sound models are built from the note C3, but they are all in different keys.

Ask him, he's right below in the comments :))

the short explanation was trying to fit some John Zorn and Hania Rani into 15 notes. the longer version is that I wanted both natural & harmonic E minors which enables an almost modal, half tone tonic motion (here with B7-Cmaj7) which appears in Zorn's Tharsis and Wes Montgomery's Twisted Blues, but also more popular songs like the A section of Night in Tunisia (Eb-D) or Miserlou (F-E); a full octave of diminshed (C3 to C4), the Bb works as a blue note, but also gives a Gb major in a E minor sound, which I quite like (i II iv V7). Lastly I got inspired by the Astronaut scale to keep upper notes more spaced. In any case, I am looking to pair the sounds with other instruments, once I can do some recording with it :D also, the percussive and rhythmic aspect of the instrument is as important if not more than the harmony. but it's fun to tickle the crazy side of things the whole process was an unreasonable amount of fun, stressing my amateur knowledge of music theory, and thanks to Maksim for patiently considering my 6+ iterations over different scale ideas and his effort to help there.

@@marmadukenukem Thanks for the extensive explanation, seems like this scale enables versatile stilistic possibilities. Hope you share your results with this instrument to the world via RUclips😉.

It's mostly just a C# minor scale with the 6th remove from every octave except the lowest. It's something I experimented with on a piano for a while before landing on this. But at the end of the day it's just something that sounds nice to my ears and fits my style of playing! :)

@@Boolaahh Thank you, that makes sense, i could just retrace it. The omitted note "A" then appears only in the bass as A2. (I guess that confused me a little). Good luck with the instrument!

@@Guitar56man Yea I can imagine without context it looks weird haha. Thank you!

Sure, that's a good idea! I’ll try to record a basic course on sound extraction from the instrument. Hopefully, I’ll be able to explain it well.

It's probably the effect of compression on RUclips, it's quite difficult to convey the natural sound of the instrument through video. You're right, the mallets produce a more focused sound, which makes it a bit louder. I recommend using our mallets, which are available on our website. As you correctly pointed out, mallets need to have the right weight and size to avoid damaging the instrument.

Hello! Yes, I see your order, and I will ship your instrument today. Both the Saffron and Baltic models are in stock. Could you please describe the issues you encountered on the website in more detail? The weight and dimensions are fairly detailed in the specifications section for each product on our website.

@@yudinworkshop I got an error when adding the Saffron to the basket, which was still empty, but when I've added the Baltic or another from the top, both appeared in the basket again. Can't reproduce it today, just that the basket appears empty after refresh when it shouldn't be.

@@Leynad778 It seems there is a delay in the server's response, as the items are added to the cart, but the cart icon (or its update) doesn't appear immediately. However, the items are indeed in the cart. Unfortunately, this is a server-side issue. But thank you for letting me know, I will look into it more deeply to find the cause.

I am currently working on a new version of the editor. I will launch it within 1-2 weeks. If you need a Mini, just let me know which one, and I will either send you a PayPal payment request or provide you with the account details. And of course, the price will be for the Mini.

@@yudinworkshop Ah alrighty thanks for clearing that up 👍 I'm still figuring things out for myself right now, so I'm not placing any orders yet 🙃

Well, this is quite a complex question. The Mini is made from thinner and more 'sensitive' steel, so yes, the paint does affect the sound, but it's only about 5% of the overall picture. The most significant factor in this case is the sound model itself, the set of notes. The more octaves, fifths, fourths, and even thirds there are, the more they complement each other, meaning each note excites the harmonics of the neighboring ones. This is why some scales sound a bit dull, while others are very bright. For example, if you create a sound model using only thirds, say a major chord G2-C3-E3-G3-C4-E4-G4-C5-E5, all the notes will strongly support each other, with no conflicting sounds, so it should sound amazing. However, melodically, such a sequence would be quite dull, and the variety of melodies would be very simple. But this might be perfect for sound healers, where the maximum beauty and fullness of the harmonics are important, and the melody takes a back seat.

@@yudinworkshop Thank you for this interesting answer. This helps a lot to understand and it is good to know. 🙏🙏🙏🥰 It is never to late to learn something! You are really doing a good job!💕

I'll be waiting for you! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

@@MathIsGreatFun It doesn't matter, the important thing is that it sounds good 😉

At the moment, only in my workshop. When installing, the pickup needs to be adjusted with special equipment, so I do not sell them separately for now.

Oh yes, it really looks like that 🤣

Thank you very much! It's so nice to read such reviews! I am very glad that we are already forming our own community, just a little more and we will be holding our own festivals for Pulsar enthusiasts 😝 Thank you!

Yes, funny. Thank you! :)

Thank you! Soon it will delight its owner. 😄 I agree with you, the Mini version does lose in acoustic properties compared to the Original larger model, but not everyone needs a loud acoustic sound. When you have a built-in pickup, the quiet acoustic sound is no longer a problem. The main thing is that the pickup itself sounds amazing! 🥰

Hi, the pick up has to go in a box, Right?

@@BiancaBrown-cl8oy The pickup is installed in the instrument, and the pickup jack is located at the bottom of the instrument in a rubber cover. The pickup is not removable and cannot be purchased separately. The pickup is installed by default on all our instruments at no additional cost.
