Цікавий інструмент та звук😊

thanks

I love Liam's viol playing ...

I love Liam's playing but I think the theorbo player should become a dancer.

I found this video as part of my research for building a junk/trash parts sympathetic violin. I'm inspired by Hindustani violin music. I'm not a musician but i absolutely have to try to build the thing and see what I can do with it.

the "S" in "maraiS" is silent.

Great stuff, shame that ads cut in and interrupt though

Was this piece composed in 2012?

VERY COOL!!! gorgeous sound!

so good!!

Very good, I love it! I also like the way you approach the videomaking, it is transparent, honest and grounded. It would also be interesting if the video itself is part of the composition, e.g. the compostion dictates what angle is used, when. I''ve also been wondering what Landwehr bow you use, it seems short and very low tension and you manage to succesfully use it for every genre.

exquisite

It certainly sounds great and that’s the important part! I’m curious about the tied frets… I know they’re common enough on a variety of instruments but since I’m here I want to ask… it’s not possible to do guitar-style vibrato with them, correct? And does the material on the back of the neck inhibit sliding? I suppose with practice you develop a playing style that works with them but it seems like they would be frustrating for a guitar player who is used to frets that don’t have these kinds of issues. Thanks!

Magnificent Lovely Sounds~ Great Job!

Fantasy #1 would have worked just fine w/o the cactus…

Sounds hurdy-gurdy-ish

You know, if you can do the neck and action, you should be able to do the rest. That's the most intimidating part of an instrument to me, getting the action and neck. The body? Fun, like a game, playing with the design and thickness. Neck? Just gotta be right.

Just found this. So lovely…like having a visit with you. NC viol folks miss you!

Great project! I get the feeling that it would sound even better with a much bigger sound hole. The sound without the pickup sounds muted and I reckon it would be more open with a bigger hole.

Wonderfull!

So good vibrations!

Total disappointment.

I want one

Beautiful!

Some varnish on that would make it look a w e s o m e

This is amazing! I want to make one myself, but I know nothing about the original instrument this is emulating. How is everything tuned, is there something going through the box to give the neck more strength, or is it strong enough just bolted onto the box? What kind of guitar strings do you use for something like this? Etc etc.. I hope you see this and can answer some of the questions, because I think I could make a pretty descent version of this with the cnc machines and laser cutters I have access to.

This is extremely inspiring! Thank you for publishing this genius project and its fruits.

So so heartbreakingly beautiful 🙏😭💕

Cool! How long did it take to tune it with all of those string?

GORGEOUS

The Rob King piece felt like ASMR, very relaxing soundscape… Loved it!

Wonderfull !

Sounds great. What was the pickup and amp that you used?

quality

it's interesting... but even with the acoustic pickup module it sounds tinny. You'd have far greater and better results if you used some decent woods instead of plywood. Plywood has crappy acoustic properties because of the haphazard layering that plywood is comprised of. If you want a really nice sounding instrument then only solid woods will do. They don't have to be high quality or figured maple hardwoods or spruce... Spruce would be great. But even western red cedar has superior acoustic, resonant properties than plywood. Plywood just does NOT resonate well. You can buy decent and clear grained western red cedar at any hardware store that sells lumber. The same goes for maple. Thin slice maples for the sides of your instrument box would add more life and would deepen the bass and acoustic resonance. A single slice of spruce offset to the left or right would make a great bass-bar common in most violin type instruments. You can still make a box cello with "sympathetic strings. You would get far better results if you reduced the strings to 4 top strings and 4 sympathetic strings. The result would be more harmonious and easier tuning. Nice video... fascinating concept. Try making another with good tonal quality woods like those I suggested. Nice video, thank you for sharing.

Спасибо тебе за классную идею! Давно хотел сделать тальхарпу с ладами 😅

Far freaking out

What kind of pickup did you use?

Sounds amazing. Especially amplified.

❤❤

What a nice surprise!

Very nice!

This is wonderful, Liam! Thanks for sharing it!

Вау............

Bravo. Magnificent

Awesome instrument, and love your playing.

Très belle interprétation - Une remarque que je ne sais pas traduire en anglais, je laisse Google faire le travail ! J'ai beaucoup accompagné des pièces de Marin Marais avec un archiluth... et je trouve que cela ne fonctionne pas bien, car certaines notes des accords de l'accompagnement sont trop aigues par rapport à la mélodie jouée par la Viole de Gamme. La basse continue est vraiment faite pour être jouée par un théorbe !

Seriously, am I the first to give a "like" ???

Wonderful instrument, incredible playing !!

Is this a bass viol da gamba?
