@@Mattiaskrantz yeah dude i get it, I just wrote that comment cuz it was a great pun. Anyway thanks for being so interactive with your viewers, this it the first time some RUclipsR actually replied to my comment. 😂😂 Great work though!!
Remember, “bad” is subjective. Sure, it doesn’t sound like how traditional strings do, but there are people who invent purposefully “bad” sounding instruments as a means of pushing the boundaries of their own creativity.
glad someone said this. i think it's important to try new things out to expand our horizon of creativity. even if it doesn't sound "good", it's a step towards somewhere, with a destination where it will sound good
Yeah, I think part of it is also figuring out what actually it is good at -- it seems clear that a lot of normal guitar techniques won't work as well on horse hair, but are there any tones that are interesting? It seems to me the lower strings are particularly dead, so maybe we have to try something more percussive if we're playing down there. Also, was there a lot of experimentation done to determine where the "sweet spot" of each string by gauge is? Maybe a different tuning would help bring out the strings at their best tone. Maybe even just getting rid of the low strings and playing it as a different instrument would help. Lots of various ways to experiment here. The sustain is clearly going to be deadened compared with a steel or nylon string, and the tone lacks brightness. Is there anything you can also coat them in as another possibility?
@Dallen3000 - I couldn't figure out why he was opposed to using a shorter guitar. Horses like the tall Andalusian have longer tails. It would've had a different sound with a complete strands. He could contact the Andalusian Horse club. Or, the Lippizan horse club... Joining strands don't allow for a solid path for vibration to follow. It would be equivalent to a bad wiring setup on an amplifier. If wires are frayed there's impedance.
Dude... I barely have the patience to sit through a 9 minute RUclips video I would just like to commend this man for having the patience to fiddle around with horse hair for days on end
Gonna be honest... I got this cause I want to play a mad bard in a D&D game. His main "mad" trait was gonna be that he used the guts/sinew/hair of monsters to make strings for his harp. Thank you so much for showing what he'll have to do!
@@barefootarts737 I dont mean to judge you in any way. In fact you utilizing a dead animal you find like that is very efficient, but the fact you just say it so casually makes this comment incredibly cursed lol
I know those strings didn’t sound great, but another thing to take into consideration is that it is a steel string acoustic guitar and the top is heavy and requires a lot of energy to drive the top, hence why they use steel strings. If you were to use nylon in a steel string, it also wouldn’t have enough energy to drive the top. Because many classical guitars once used gut strings and eventually players switched to nylon, it may be possible that the strings have enough energy to drive the top of a classical guitar. I know you said it wasn’t worth it, but if you still have the strings and didn’t cut them, maybe it’s possible to test the experiment on a classical guitar.
Even if the results didn’t live up to your expectations, you still showed outrageous and epic dedication, and it was very interesting. Horse hair strings didn’t sound half bad. You’ve got another sub. Keep picking, my friend 🤘🤘🤘
Even if someone thought the rest of the video was crap, that hairdresser joke should have made them want to leave a like; your comedic timing is great.
No kidding, though, the motivation advice is so true. Everytime I have to practice, I have no motivation, but once I start, I get motivated and I can easily practice two hours. The hard part is just starting. 🙃
it works for pretty much everything. I think it’s interesting how you could ”find” motivation in the most uninteresting things by doing this. I only work in 25 minute sessions because the starting part gets a lot easier I think!🤝
I can't imagine sitting in one desk for over 15 hours trying to string some horse hairs together. Big props to you for sticking through the pain and misery of that lol.
You are wonderfully crazy, Mattias. My dad is a piano builder and tuner (now retired), and I play the violin, with a horse hair bow of course. I'm really amazed what time, dedication and ingenuity you put into questioning the conventions on how instruments are built, and trialling things. That's an essential quality of an engineer - always tinkering and not abiding in conventional wisdom.
I love how you’re really thriving it seems. Idk about your personal life but I hope it’s wonderful. Because you seem like a very nice and driven person.

When feeding a new hair to the string, to make it stronger, you should’ve placed the middle of the hair at the fork and then have both ends feed into both sides, this way there is no hair cut required afterwards.
I didn't know about the specific style of twisting when I recommended the spinning. I'm glad you found something that (kinda) worked, but I wonder if a spinning wheel would've been faster with similar or better results. After all, they make clothes with spun cotton.
*edit: keep in mind I hadn’t watched the rest of the video when I made this comment - 1:12 Mattias: “we’re gonna need a bigger horse” Me: *or a ukulele*
Interesting. That's how we (some builders at least) sometimes make strings for Tagelharpas/Jouhikkos (black and white strings are a visual indicator for the twist). To make them better: soak the hair in warm water for about 20min --> twist them flemishly ;) --> apply to your instrument --> let dry. Horse hair has the tendency to stretch. Ideally it needs to stretch out to it's "working" form/length. Nylon and metal strings, gut, etc... also need time to fit/sit perfectly. Hair needs this time even more so. When you soak them --> they are "sort of" stretched. They will decrease in length and diameter in the process of drying and stretch under their own tension. So be careful not to tune them to their destined voice as this might be way too much tension. This will result in an almost (!) already perfectly stretched string and gives a clearer sound. I know I'm very late to the party, but maybe someone wants to try this out, or you want to do this again.
@Mike i didn't know what he meant by 'flemishly', all I could think of was something to do with the Flemish-speaking part of Belgium, so I tried to make a pun based on that. Don't know if I succeeded or just sounded derpy. :P
Matthias, I admire your patience and dedication to your projects. Your videos are very entertaining and informative. You also create interesting "info-mercials" for your sponsors. Great job! 👍
Since you already used the flemish twist technique, you've gotta go all the way and use bowstring in a guitar or piano (You can get the raw spools of bowstring rather than completed strings)
i love how the brony Sebigamer4 appears in various videos . and happy to se him in this in particular. we will need Discord mane to do some chaos chords
I'm not sure if it's just because I "know" they're horse hairs... but the sound of these strings had an incredibly terrestrial vibe and actually felt calming.
Not sure if it’s been 24 hours, but seriously man. This is some incredible content! The fact that you just kept trying and didn’t give up, it’s just inspiring! Keep up the great work, Mattias!
There is an old instrument in scandinavia called Stråkharpa in Swedish (Talharpa in Norwegian). It uses horse tail hairs (hence the name in norwegian). As you can tell from the swedish name, it is also "stroked".... with a bow, to be clear. A bow much like that of the nyckelharpa.

@@OverlyHonestGaming wait thats illegal
After reading these comments I realised that horse hair is unexpectedly common material for stringed instruments all around tha world...
On the violin, The bow is made with Horse' Hair. So, Yes.
apparently the best strings are called gut strings made from dried out sheep intestines
Violin bow
Almost every single bowed instrument uses horse hair
I’ve only heard of horse hair being used for bowed instruments like fiddles violins and cellos. Never imagined them being on guitars or ukuleles.
Some mongolians instruments actually used horse hairs strings, the Morin Khuur is a good example .

Matthias, I admire your patience and dedication to your projects. Your videos are very entertaining and informative. You also create interesting "info-mercials" for your sponsors. Great job! 👍
The amount of time and effort going into these videos is incredible.
Hmmm yes actually I max out thank you for seeing that!
hi
5:50 "Let's put them on and hair what it sounds like!"
6:42 This killed me AHAHAHAHA
Random person: Does it sound good?
You: Neigh.
Hahaha omg
😂
Since you already used the flemish twist technique, you've gotta go all the way and use bowstring in a guitar or piano (You can get the raw spools of bowstring rather than completed strings)
hi
@@erneuerteseinfuhlungsvermogen9 Hello there
What a great idea
Great idea!
Fun fact: A traditional musical instrument made of horse hair already exists. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pena_(musical_instrument)
And there is taggelharpa.
i love how the brony Sebigamer4 appears in various videos . and happy to se him in this in particular. we will need Discord mane to do some chaos chords
I'm not sure if it's just because I "know" they're horse hairs... but the sound of these strings had an incredibly terrestrial vibe and actually felt calming.
Wow, this is the first time I ever seen horse hair strings on a guitar...and i ended up learning more about motivation than horses properties 😅
Hahah thank you!!😂❤️
Not sure if it’s been 24 hours, but seriously man. This is some incredible content! The fact that you just kept trying and didn’t give up, it’s just inspiring! Keep up the great work, Mattias!
There is an old instrument in scandinavia called Stråkharpa in Swedish (Talharpa in Norwegian). It uses horse tail hairs (hence the name in norwegian). As you can tell from the swedish name, it is also "stroked".... with a bow, to be clear. A bow much like that of the nyckelharpa.
Yes, and they sound excellent. Finland has the Jouhikko as well which is more or less the same.
His coming to the guitar, HIS COMING BACK
Hahaha yes
