[@cacophonycake2234]

You are ONE COOL GUY & I really admire you! Thanks for the up close & personal broadcast... always a thrill to see & hear you play so masterfully! ... and yes.. even a real-time broadcast with chat from fans would work too so we can ask the questions as you play! Wow.. now THAT would be a real treat! .... (and you are SO right... "The real experience IS in the LIVE Performance - OFF the screen!") ;D xo

[@XMrC72]

I love the series idea! I think it would be pretty interesting to hear you talk about your approach to technique and musicality along with these excerpts. You're genuinely one of my favorite marimbists to listen to, and I'd love to get some insight into your process.

[@ChristophSietzenPercussion]

Thanks so much for your feedback and compliments! I will do that in some of the next videos. Also, always feel free to ask questions, I will try to answer them. It’s definitely meant to be interactive;)

[@cacophonycake2234]

I TOTALLY Agree with you .. 100%!

[@ChristopherIverson44]

I'm really excited to see what you post next! I'd like to hear your practice habits, and what exactly you do right before a performance. I love your work and your energy! Keep the videos coming!

[@ChristophSietzenPercussion]

[@the.factzzz]

Which mallets are you using?

[@grobennett5577]

Wow that is so moving and made me cry Thanks

[@alexpetcu2748]

Great piece! Must get the score and learn this for some concerts in Ireland.

[@ChristophSietzenPercussion]

Yes, go for it;) Many greetings!

[@shivani_1207]

What is the name of the instrument plated by you

[@ChristophSietzenPercussion]

It‘s called Marimba!

[@elanrochell-share2735]

Do you cut the handles of the two inner mallets to make them shorter?
Thanks!

[@ChristophSietzenPercussion]

Hey, thanks for the question! No, I don’t;)

[@elanrochell-share2735]

Thanks so much for responding! If you don’t mind another question, how does the grip you play with relate to Stevens grip? I see you let the ends of the outside mallets potrude from the back of the palm. Do you change anything about the inner mallets? Thank you!😊

[@asaldanha00]

great video!! which mallets are you using?

[@ChristophSietzenPercussion]

Thanks;) Mostly Adams Bogdan Bacanu or Yamaha Keiko Abe Signature Mallets...

[@laugutico]

@@ChristophSietzenPercussion I have a question! When using the keiko Abe ones do you use rattan or birch? Thank you!

[@ChristophSietzenPercussion]

Of course Rattan;)

[@laugutico]

And do you use Steven's technique or which one? :)
