You can learn anything on You Tube. I love it! From car repairs to minor surgery and woodblock comparisons.

The internet is a vast ocean!

Ron Vaughn is nice and dark. Black Swamp a close second. Thanks for the demo!

[@SteveWeissMusic]

Thanks for watching!

Why did you hold the old Leedy upside down compared to how you play when it's on the pillow, and how you hold all other blocks)?
My favorites are:
1. Leedy on pillow with rubber mallet
2. Ron Vaughn walnut in hand with hard mallet
3. Ron Vaughn Ascent, same method as the other R.V.

The leedy can be played on both sides- it has a cutout on both.

@@SteveWeissMusic Thanks for explaining! If you're not looking for it in the video, it's hard to catch ;)

Going camping. Gonna need some firewood. Good kindling. Thanks.

Any chance you could do this video with the blocks on the hard table top, and NOT the pad?

[@SteveWeissMusic]

We chose to use the pad as the table made noise with the blocks directly on it.
