I'm back after a summer break, this year will be a good one! Already a lot of ideas and some big projects are coming, stay tuned!
Can you try harp tuning for a 7 string instrument with a slide? It is cool, as every position of a slide creates a perfect octave.
I am begging you, make an album with these instruments. That indian sound was HEALING
Hans Zimmer eat your heart out
this man's got better sounds from a trip to home depot than almost anything I've heard in a long time
I really enjoy the tones this instrument creates. I always feel a boost of creativity and motivation when I watch your videos.
Thanks a lot!
May I suggest adding DIY string bender(s) to this?
Love the buzz plate, sitar sound.
Might try this angle iron construction tech, for my next build.
Thanks for the great videos, and best wishes for your continued success/happiness with music making 🎶🌎☮
Not even finished watching the video and I'm already sketching out ideas for my own version of this. Thanks for the inspiration.
3:44 that sounds amazing
Exactly. Need a whole song with this as the star.
It’s phenomenal. The sound coming from that instrument. Your RUclips fans love to see you create. (I was accidentally shown a video where a guy destroyed a baby grand with water. I felt like crying) Your fans watch you create amazing instruments out of even cans. In this destructive world, you are a breath of fresh air.
This is one of my favourite instruments you built, this sounds sooo nice! awesome, pls more!! :D
I'll make compositions sessions soon, this one will be a part of the orchestra!
Good to see you back on my feed! Hope you had a great summer!
I did!
Far freaking out
This gives me so many ideas for my own building
I'm impressed with how easily you have got good jawari (the buzzing sound produced by the bridge). This is something I have struggled with many times myself. I will try your method. Thank you very much for demonstrating it in this video.
I was shocked too, it was my first try and it sounds great without any adjustments!
It's like a sitar with a country accent awesome work!
@3'10 love the 'Pink Floyd' blues way of playing Music !
Vraiment Top ! j'adore .
Fantastic! Love the rich tone of the baritone buzzy blues. 👍😎
Hi bro i had enjoyed alot after watching the video thank u for builting th a musical instrument from Indian it shows the culture of India I feel prowed to be an Indian 🇮🇳
Your skills and ideas never cease to amaze me!
Thanks!
Always a pleasure to see your creations.
Thanks!
One of the coolest sounds I’ve ever heard bro
clairement le genre d'instrument innovant qu'on serait chaud à acheter!!! bravo!
That’s brilliant, love the design and sounds great too!
Thanks!
We definitely need more of this.
Ooh maan, i can stop wondering, how far goes your imagination! Keep create
Damn. What a collection of musical talent you have. And homemade bottlecap ghungru!!
Bravo, your instruments are always so innovative!
Thanks!
this is one of my favourite instrument you built
wow - just stumbled on your channel - I love this take on music - innovation and egalitarian! merci!
Love the sound of the last bridge setting, beautiful low shattering, have a nice break
As always: supercool!
Your editing is very humble and barely conveys the time and effort that must have gone into this. As usual the end jam sounds so musical it always shows the instrument at it's best.
Thanks a lot!
nice work!
So rad. Love it.
Please make a wind instrument tutorial, love your channel!
Awesome, Awesome
Another amazing instrument!
Oooooooo I absolutely love this !!!!!
Fantastic !
I have a silimar project on my winter build list. I do not have any eletric guitars at the moment so I am still on the lookout for cheap gear for the pickup and wiring.
Oh that is lovely! I've got a slide guitar I made ages ago from a heavy plank of hardwood, some cheap acoustic guitar tuners. a spare pickup. Got bored with it, not much different from playing slide on a regular electric. But I've got a length of aluminium extrusion very like what you used. Want sitar!!
Nice! That sounds pretty interesting and I like your design!
Thanks!
Man, I love this. I am considering buying one myself. If I could buy one for you I for sure would
just too crazy !!! keep it going
I will!
Love the sound of this one!
I was gathering parts to make a simple electric slide guitar - this gives me so many great ideas!
Slides are so easy to build!
Very harmonic sounds ❤
i really like this instrument. very nicely done!
Another great video, subscribed.
cheers from a lyre builder and crazed polymetric/polyrhythmic freak in Vienna, Scott
I love you!!!! Gettings from Mexico¡
WOW, what a machine. I'm gonna make one!! Great video.
Reminds me of the vichithra veena
Ah ça faisait longtemps quel plaisir pour les oreilles !
Perso je trouve que ça fait un format parfait. Tu arrives à rester dans un format court tout en donnant quelques détails et réflexions sur la construction de l'instrument, tout en offrant tout de même de superbes passages d'impros... Perso, je pourrai écouter pendant des heures ton sitar maison accompagné de tablas...
Grand merci! J'essaye de garder la longueur cohérente, l'instrument était rapide et simple, la vidéo aussi!
So, A blues guitarist, a sitar player, and a woodworker walk into a room...
Excellent. Now I want to build one!
enthusiasm and passion for building and playing are amazing!😄😄🤩
Another terrific instrument Nic. I really enjoyed this one. Thanks mate.
Thanks!
Amazing buzzing slide lap guitar
Incroyable ça donne vraiment envie d'essayer !
Excelente!... Algo así como "El Blues de la India"... Saludos cordiales desde Chamberí - Madrid (Spain)!!!...
Always perfect French dude!
I see that you use the Sitar-Bridge without a sewing thread. Do you know, that you can improve the "buzzing" Sitar/Tampura-Sound, if you put a sewing thread underneath the strings on the bridge (just as seen on the Sample Tampura, you showed)? You then have to align the thread exactly to the right position on the bridge, then the sitar effect amplifies phenomenally!
man, you are a pure genius! thank you for another great instrument & great video!
What a beautiful build and elegant design!
This is fantastic!
It would appear that having a clean break gives clean tone and slow-soft rolloff gives the buzzes. What about making the piece of steel tilt with a screw adjust or even a lever to express on?
Best!!! Can't wait to hear more of it from ypu
Very, very, very ispiring...gracias🎶💕
Impressive!
Love this! I just started learning the Tabla, and your skills amaze me! Glad I found your channel!!
I love the tracks you make at the end of each video. Do you post these songs somewhere so I can listen to them?
I usually post them on every platforms, and I'm usually late, this one is out since yesterday!
Thank you.
So cool. Love it!
Franchement bluffé par ce chouette hybrid entre lapsteel et sitar j'adore la corde grave c'est des cordes de guitare ou de Baryton ?
Grand merci! Ce sont des cordes de guitare, mais avec un grand diapason, plus de longueur vibrante!
Très très cool. Bravo.
It looks like an eletrical Trossingen Lyre, I hope it functions as one aswell
Great work as usual. Love it!
Awesome!🔥 as always 🙌🙌🙌
Slide sitar?! George Harrison's dream instrument!
4:26 perhaps got an upload of this?
that was just... 12/10
super cool
Très beau travail! Bravo!
Grande Nicolas , genial 👏👏👏👏
Oh my god, more!
Luar biasa. Keren broo 👍
Man I hope one day you could do a collab with Rob Scallon.
I would love to!
Jawari - great video
Love it !
Merci pour l'explication du chevalet plat, je me demandais comment la lyre d'or sumérienne produisait des voix de bovins.
cool stuff! What about slide guitar with pedals like a steel guitar - much more interesting instrument, could you make it?
You've just earned a new subscriber, good sir! Keep up the good work. Also, is there a video of you making the double flute out of PVC pipes? Can't find it anywhere :C
Hi Nicolas, wondering whether you've provided any blueprint for the construction of this instrument at all? I'd love to give a try at making one of these :D
Nicholas is back
What is the tuning? Circle of Fifths? Awesome build, and awesome sound!
Very open tuning, A E A E A !
That thing has beautiful tone!
C’est incroyable. On se croirait à Benares.
Cool vids nick
This was neat. I wonder how it would sound if you used maybe a wooden "buzz bridge" like and undercut marimba block. Especially if it were rosewood.
Super cool mec ;)
J'aime bien ton Anglais, je le comprends, les Anglophones devraient s'en inspirer.
ok Nicolas...! New to your channel, totally impressed! can I get plans for your5 string electric guitar/sitar?
