Nicolas singlehandedly keeping the PVC pipe industry in business.
It would be great to get some subtitles on the French language sections. Always great to see your creations, Nicolas!
I came here to say the same thing.
It would be great if you learn French.
Lol.
In west Bolivia panflutes this size are frequently used, and they are called Toyos. The Toyos are one of the oldest instruments in the Andes and are often used in ceremonial music. They are most commonly used in the Aymara communities around Lake Titicaca but are also used in urban areas by "folkloric" and Andean bands.
I myself have composed pieces of music for this instrument and made covers of pieces of music for this instrument, and during the recording process lightheadedness and tingling of the extremities is something I have become accustomed to dealing with.
Using this instrument for long periods of time can induce a meditative/hypnotic effect.
The best toyos song - Hoja de coca by Rumillajta.
@@lamb555v Oh my there are so many; Imantata by Grupo Aymara is my favourite, it is a psychedelic, hypnotic jacha siku. I myself have done a cover of the piece on my last album Nuestra Tierra but I doubled the length of it and used bombos because I don't have a caja. Aymara music is so amazing some of the best channels for it are CC Jalsury and Chakana Producciones
@@wilsonhoylemusicaboliviana Imantata by Grupo Aymara is a great piece of autochthonic music 👍 my favourite songs by Grupo Aymara are Mi Raza and Mallku Kunturi 😁 Good stuff on your YT channel, great work 👍😁 Toyos is my favourite musical instrument but here where I live I can make it only out of plastic 😕
@@lamb555v it doesnt matter if its made of plastic. Here in Bolivia I have seen sikus and quenas made from plastic tubes from the hardware store. Here I leave you with an amazing album of Aymara music, the first 4 tracks are a fusion with Classical music, the rest is pure aymara music music.ruclips.net/p/OLAK5uy_mCRp-OQOLtOkGUrZGAmV15asjOiu0dLww&si=sL-98Yu6OyW3Xjs6
And another of both Aymara and Quechua music music.ruclips.net/p/OLAK5uy_l2zVJa22aHO8xZ2xebhRb0NwoxVVYvoAs&si=MwR0Q7twXaXHppAe
if you put a labium on the pipes, and added a keyboard+air supply+a manual way of blocking the pipes from the air(tracker action would be too hard), it could be like a positive organ
I wish someone would put a labium on my pipe.🤣
Juvenile, I know, couldn’t help myself.
@@rabbithowls71 that would make it easier to blow...
Someone's making both positive and portative organs on here, if anyone's interested.
@@JelMain cool!
@@rabbithowls71 y'know what's better than roses on your piano?
I loved that song that you created during the montage of the video!! Actually there were two moments when you went into really incredible selfmade music from self made instruments. Nicholas, I am curious if you will ever transit into making woodwinds out if wind. There is such a nice and natural resonance in the wooden flutes. You have a knack for building and for production, I am curious if you will venture into the realm of wood. Cheers!
wood in wind instruments has time and again been proven to have no effect on the sound. it doesn't vibrate like a soundboard. you can watch nicolas' video "acoustics of pvc pipe" from 9 years ago where he at one point presents an audience with a wooden and a pvc flute, and learn his stance on the subject.
Peruvian dude started spittin fluent french. Caught me off guard 🤣🤣
You pushed it to the limit
Wow! That piece at the end is magnificent. I really like the bongos and Ricardo's flute part is terrific. Thanks Nic, always wonderful.
C'est vraiment super bien ces collaborations!
I wonder what Ricardo's initial reaction was when he entered the room with wall to wall flutes? He probably have a lot of flutes himself but ... :D
And man those are some raw sounds in those tubes !!!
Love to see the collaboration between you and other musicians.
Love the music in this video, you are a great musician. You are a great artist with your hands and the sounds that make your sound harmonious to a great piece.
Keep up the good work.
Saludos de Perú!!! 🇵🇪
Awesome 👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏
incredible, as always ✨
I would love to hear these pipes in ancient temperaments
The teacher speaks universal language
Amazing how sci fi it sounds
hahahaha, the look on his face when he asked for the big one. I don't need to speak the language to know he was saying some variation of 'Ok, let me at that silly beast'
You should check out the bubble wrap pan flute that Simone Giertz just released a video about today!!! I think you’d appreciate it. It’s like a bizarre hybrid of your instrument aesthetic combined with a little Martin from Wintergatan.
Do you use regular PVC pipes or uPVC pipes? I wanted to try to build one of your instruments but I'm concerned about the presence of phtalates and BPA which are notoriously nocive if inhaled or ingested.
Bien la reprise !
(ils doivent être content de te voir arriver au Brico du coin !)
Now build a giant didgeridoo!
Very interesting! Where do you buy pvc pipes? Here in Norway, they're super expensive...
L’instrumentiste est monstrueux !! Et on apprécie l’incroyable rencontre entre deux flûtistes passionnés, bravo à toi Nicolas
Excelente video y música
I keep seeing in old comments of yours that you have an ebook, but I cannot find it. Where could I find it?
Have you tried experimenting with different materials? For example aluminium or stainless steel, how would it affect the sound?
Not much. The main difference is how well a material can be shaped and HOLD that shape, for critical surfaces like a fipple wedge or utaguchi, which is why these structures are frequently made of something harder and then attached to the rest of the instrument..
This was awesome!!
I am currently building one that size too but 3D printed.
Note: a small diameter in relation to the lengh trigger the harmonics easier. Thus making the fondamental way harder to get.
Hi friend, I really liked your work, very beautiful. I love these things and I play bamboo instruments but I want to make one similar to yours I already have everything I started but I can't tune my tuners don't accept such low notes. how do you tune? help me there please!
I enjoy your music. It is different from most western music I listen to, and it is very fun and refreshing to hear. The fact that you make your instruments also makes it so much more fun. Keep up the good work!
YES! MORE OF THIS! - You're on the money - you sir are a genius. Please full version of that Push it to the Limit cover!
There is group from New Caledonia I believe... called Wasi Ka Nanara.... the most amazing bamboo “flute” orchestra
You should do some soundtrack work! Have you ever heard an album from the 1980’s by Andreas Vollenveider called White Winds? It has lots of exotic flutes, blown bottles, electric harp, synthesizers and sound effects. I think you would enjoy it!
I wonder if it would take less breath if you cut a labium on the far edge of each pipe? I did this with a 45-degree angle when I made a similar pan flute because Mark Shepard recommends it in his "Simple Flutes" book, but I never thought to compare the amount of breath with a labium and without one.
Next video: Building cyborg lungs and diaphragm into Nicolas’ body.
The Great God Pan would be found breathless at sound of this festoonery! How fascinating!
Hey they make tools that pull zip ties taught and cuts the end in one motion, you would probably benefit from one on projects like these 😅 just search zip tie gun
T’es génial excellent travail Nicolas :) continue je comprends rien à la musique mais j’aime trop regarder 🤣
LOVE - LEY!
Since you have an accent, where are you originally from, born & raised?
Coming from the guitar world, I did always hear tubes sound awesome
I need more like buttons
It sounds a bit like billie eilish - bad guy ... I think you could do a nice cover
Uma saponia
Do we have a video on that flute at 3:19? Cause if we haven't got one we need one! It sounds AMAZING!
Ça fait très bien de ne pas voir un gros microphone, comme ils font, les youtubers à du gros ego ... (el meu francès potser no és el millor... però, bé, ja que hi som... apa, bon aire i bon so!)
Bruhh i wanna seee ur editing app 😂😂 legit overpower person
Jayyy, push it to the limit! it gives me GTA 3 Vibes!!!
J'espère que t'as une carte de fidélité chez Leroy Merlin avec tous les tuyaux que t'achètes ;)
Salut Nicolas ! Je me demandais, est-il possible d'acheter certains de tes instruments en ligne ? J'ai cherché mais rien trouvé...
Et j'aimerais tellement pouvoir t'acheter une flûte harmonique ! Je penses que je ne suis pas le seul en plus ^^
Cool songs and interesting video. Thank you)
Bravo Nicolas ! Vous avez fait un beatbox vidéo avec une flûte traversière en PVC ?
What are the formulas?
for hz qualqulations
Can you build a Flute of a Vape ? :)
Say hello to my little... big... HUGE flute!
I saw bigger s at Peru Bolivia they name is tollo and tollo de sol
Для відегри підійде така музика 😊
No subtitles? Or do I just fail at RUclips?
Thanks for sharing. The Pan Flutes sound very good. I really like how the zip ties hold them together.
You are my favorite kind of crazy!
Another fantastic video Nicolas! Great to have another guest! You are always a pleasure to watch, keep on tootin' brother!
Nice subcontrabass panflute.
Hello ! T'aurais tout fait en français, pour moi c'était plus clair !
yo speako no frencho, subscribed
You are the best kind of crazy.
What is the white whistle in the training montage??
Great!
Listen to Hermeto Pascoal!
2:20
I wanted to tell you, Nicolas, that the music that happens around here, I think is very cinematic!
It sounds really cool!
I think you should lean that way when making more music! :)
Also, I think you would be a great Composer!
Maybe you could look around and find some studios that need music!
Гений
I love the last composition, it reminds me of crash bandicoot music
Awesome plumber's tunes!
Kinda crazy idea: use 2 small ish (like 10mm OD) T pieces like TT but with a stopper in the middle, so they work like 2 L pieces but structurally strong, then use a pair of pipes that goes to a bag with a one way valve on the intake, and a button that lets the air in the bag out, so you can play large wind instruments without being out of breath.
Maybe you'd need a stopper with a slit on the output to mimic the mouth.
that is a very Huge Pai-Xiao, well done!
tu as essayé d'inviter Sylvain Duriff ?
Leave out the wooden stoppers and buzz into the tubes and you have a PDQ Bach instrument known as a "windbreaker" because it sounds like tuned farting. They'll go up an octave, so they need to be big like that. I put extensions in the ends that can slide in and out to make them tunable, although they may end up being a semitone or even a whole tone flat compared to the pitch they emit as pan pipes.
You might only be able to "play" the upper rank (the sharps) this way unless you separate them, my design isn't chromatic. I have to tune it to each key like a lever harp. I included it in my "Party Pipes" sample set/instrument along with the same pipes played the correct way, but we're no longer allowed to link to things so... those who want it can go look for it, or not.
Mega cool 😎, im love Music for ever.

Playing low whistle with The Chieftains' Paddy Moloney in 86, he had another use for PVC pipe - he kept his penny whistles in a length of 6" pipe, hinged at the side!
This Video brings to you the coolest rendition of "Push it to the Limit" i've ever heard.
Awesome! :D
That training montage really felt like you channeled Chuck Norris' spirit in Flash Dance!
But can we really believe it?
Congrats on 100k !!! You deserve much more, love all of your content.
Your accent is also one of the reasons that make watching very pleasant 😊
So awesome thankyou for the video :D
Like deployed 👍
😎🎙🎶✅
cool
Stumbled accross this channel, your talent at making instruments and creating nice tunes is amazing.
very cool
have you ever thought about building a apprehension engine?
The way you put the whole video together was so amazing la fin sur la flûte troppppp fort
You are so cool!
It would be nice to have more videos about this panflute. It's nice.
Ou est-ce qu'on peut écouter tes compos ?
La composition est très bonne encore une fois.
Et il y a qq chose de réconfortant de te voir prendre des leçons de souffle avec le niveau que tu as. J'essayerai de travailler le souffle diaphragme, c'est un truc qui me freine dans l'apprentissage de la flûte traversière folk.
Super format de vidéo avec fabrication, explications, technique, rencontre entre musiciens et composition, concert.
Excellent travail ..
J aime ce quo vous faitent ..
Contuniez 💛💚💙
very nice!
Un saludo ...
Cool.
So funny. C'est toujours un plaisir de découvrir tes vidéos. Merci et bravo 😊
Ricardo there making that all look so easy!
❤🙏
