I don't know how she got into my algorithm, but I'm not mad about it. 😆 She's living my dream of owning and being able to play such an odd assortment of musical instruments. ❤🎶

[@winterfall82]

Agreed

[@muzerhythm2242]

Feel the same! I play various percussion instruments and love to learn about more that are out there. Maybe someday adding to my collection.😊

[@princecharmingthemerman]

Same

[@polipoli2023]

Same

[@williamboo9017]

I just said the exact same thing to myself before I said, what in God’s name is that thing before I could see the full description of everything. This lady is fascinating. Why is she not on television or teaching people more instead of the crap ithat’s on there now?

[@MarkMcCluney]

It's most interesting that many cultures have a similar instrument - I have tiny jaws harps from both Africa and Australasia.

[@deedeetibbits]

Can you play all of them??

[@MarkMcCluney]

@@deedeetibbits Well naturally I try!

[@4saken404]

It was only just the other day I heard of the Chinese version. Khou Xian. Very interesting!

[@relishgargler]

I used to get in trouble in elementary school for doing pretty much the same thing with clicky pens during class.

[@lor3999]

😂❤

[@rosaritamaria4414]

That you can play so many different types of instruments is wildly impressive.

[@pamelaulery2772]

The instruments you find and learn to play is fascinating. So interesting to have such diverse knowledge and experience with these 'exotic' finds.

[@Kazshs]

I LOVE THIS LADY

[@robertmilligan3950]

Your an amazing musical talent, with such passion about the history of ethnically/ tribal instruments that otherwise would be lost in time. Not only that but you play them well. Have a merry Christmas from Derby UK.

[@josephhapp9]

Sounds similar to the overtone singing from Tibet and Mongolia. 🙏🙏🙏

[@deborahbeatty]

The sound is similar to the "Jews Harp) or Mouth Harp. Lovely.

[@confusedwhynot]

Honestly! I am not sure how you ended up in my feed, but can I come live with you. LOL! I would love to learn a bunch of instruments.

[@winterfall82]

I wonder how this would sound with an opera singer. Just super loud and bright. Very cool instrument. Sounds like the original jaw harp

[@mr.colbycheese6625]

I think this instrument was used for the hidden village theme in The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess

[@ursilenssen2206]

Thank I just love listening to the various instruments all unbeknown to me. Such a unique talent you have.

[@livingdeadgirla]

I saw one of those in one of my favorite shops but I didn’t know what it was, and neither did the people who worked there. I always wondered, and now I know. Very cool!

[@deborahkaygoodhead8776]

Love it! I have collected Percussion instruments from around the world for my students to play since about 2001. Have been at my school in Oklahoma for 24 years. Have created instrumental units using Dr. Wil Schmidt's World Music Drumming & Artie Almeida ideas. Enjoy teaching 4-Hole & 12-Hole Ocarina and Soprano Recorder for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade. For strings Ukulele & Intro to Guitar. We also use Quaver Music Ed online in Moore Schools....my Alma mater!❤

[@bluejedi723]

how she ended up on my youtube channel I have no idea but I fell in instant love with this channel

[@tammyhodges4447]

Wow. And love your earrings ❤

[@knastera]

You will live a happy and fulfilled life because you have a passion and want to share it with others.

[@eliseh.7474]

Loved this DeeDee, thank you! You can play just about any instrument -- do you, by any chance, play the theremin? So glad I found your channel, all your posts are absolutely wonderful.

[@trishalivingston1051]

How wonderful, TY for sharing Dee Dee. A very difficult instrument to master. WOW.. This is great.

[@pixpusha]

That was incredible. It has an other-worldly sort of feel. Magical!

[@banjiddle]

Sounds like my different jaw harps.

[@AlstonENewball]

extraordinario trabajo de recopilación musical, saludos desde Cali, Colombia

[@BorisLevitskiy]

Thank you a lot, DeeDee Tibbits 🎉😊❤

[@Mixed_Activist]

Awesome! Sound part jaw harp part didgeridoo

[@samkline2902]

Thank you for this delightful site…your ability to share these treasures is just thrilling…Merry Christmas to you year round…👍

[@SuzanneStutzle]

I can just imagine the Indians sitting around the bonfire. Someone playing this instrument and the others maybe chanting or dancing. Not that I know, I'm Australian but I can imagine right?

[@deedeetibbits]

That made me laugh imagining all of that!! I’m hoping to get a didgeridoo some day! Do you play one?

[@SuzanneStutzle]

@@deedeetibbits No, sadly, I don't play any instruments. I learnt piano for one year 44 years ago then life got in the way. I got married, fell pregnant, and moved into our house. I never did own a piano and every day I would go to my grandmothers to practice but after I stopped work to have the baby all my enjoyment of playing the piano stopped. I have heard the didgeridoo is quite difficult to play. It's something to do with the breathing. My daughter gave it a go and surprised everyone, including herself that she had the knack. I wouldn't be surprised if you have that knack too.

[@JennyoftheNorth]

That sounds cool. It's like nothing else.

[@catherinehazur7336]

As soon as I scrolled down onto her video and saw that it was an Indian Mouthbow, I remembered immediately hearing Buffy St Marie playing this instrument on one of her albums. Sure enough...! DeeDee mentioned that

[@deedeetibbits]

Haha! Right! I remember saying to myself… I WANT one of those!,

[@Chestnutcow]

What a treasure you are! Thank you for sharing!

[@haroldishoy2113]

Very unusual, the closest I have ever seen is a brass jaw harp, but the bow must be made of wood. Thank you for this presentation .

[@deedeetibbits]

Yes…the bow is wood, and a wound wire attached.

[@annrae1597]

You are amazing, so talented.

[@toolsthattransform]

Love this

[@JonathanGilmer]

This instrument reminds me of the jew's harp or jaw harp!

[@deedeetibbits]

It is similar to play also…..the difference is holding the mouth bow outside the mouth…that gets a bigger sound, too.

[@JonathanGilmer]

@@deedeetibbits very interesting! 🙂

[@letsplaydollsandpiano8046]

🎶 Absolutley sooo cool 🎶 ⭐🐪⭐

[@cloud1973]

I love this, so many weird and cool instruments are everywhere.

[@c.t.murray3632]

Do more with that instrument. I can only imagine it even how feels in your body.

[@deedeetibbits]

It IS a fun way to make your mouth change the pitch!

[@youdontknowmyrealname20.]

as someone who loves this song and that has performed it a few times, i see this as a win

[@zeldarocksyou1]

This is now my new favorite channel

[@ГалинаМартынова-ч1е]

ЗДОРОВО!!! ПРОФЕССИНАЛЬНО !!! У вас легко получается! Звуки на этой ДУГЕ дополняют палитру вибраций на предыдущем инструменте, не менее загадочном, что вы только что продемонстрировали.

[@deedeetibbits]

Спасибо! Действительно загадочно

[@yvonnekneeshaw2784]

Lovely music …saw an interesting documentary on Buffy St. Marie … not what I expected

[@jonathanbethards3689]

that is wild

[@andrewyoung2796]

I think i prefer the dulcimer I'd like to hear " keep yer hands to yourself" georgia satellites On this Indian mouthblow

[@johnsanner8388]

Very interisting!

[@J35h13]

kewl

[@crazyleyland5106]

I thought a mouth bow must be like a jaws harp until now.

[@randolphfriend8260]

💜 🎶🎶

[@kennethmaney914]

Fascinating well done.

[@deedeetibbits]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@debbiekotch6006]

I like it

[@mariapereira3221]

Perfect embodiment of the dignity of indigenous peoples

[@charlesming7875]

Buffy needs to do some soul searching about cultural Appropriation. She’s Italian. The mouth bow was cool.

[@patt335]

This one is not as aesthetically sounding as the others,

[@michaelnash9970]

🤔Doing a early Christmas song on an early Indian instrument?? 🤨 Kinda ironic?

[@deedeetibbits]

Haha….I have to look for tunes that have a strong “pedal tone” so that the drone doesn’t get in the way!

[@myutube5882]

This was very interesting but I don't hear God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen in this.

[@lor3999]

I don’t hear the referenced song either, but rather a wonderfully energetic 💃🏻rhythm & beat 🥁 that did give me 🎄comfort & joy. 🎉 Thank you DeeDee !

[@myutube5882]

@@lor3999 I do agree with that!

[@johnbriggsmusic]

It’s only in the overtones. The main note is the same throughout, but she’s manipulating the overtones into a facsimile of the melody of God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman. It’s a different interpretation for sure, but it’s recognizable.

[@myutube5882]

@@johnbriggsmusic Okay, thanks! I'll listen again.

[@colleenwalsh6899]

Awesome!!! Can't wait to see your next yt. You are the best❤
