"when my brother visits me we like to sit and yodel together." Family goals.

[@HowToPronounceGerman]

That is awesome!

[@allroadsleadtogarmisch-par1157]

Biwi lives in my town and I see him every Friday at a local Gasthaus

[@HowToPronounceGerman]

That is very COOL!!!

[@allroadsleadtogarmisch-par1157]

He is an amazing man. He is a lot older now but if he feels up to it he sings for the tourists.

[@HowToPronounceGerman]

I love that! Thanks for letting us know :-)

[@jackl.1759]

Toll! Ich hatte immer mit Franzl Lang zu treffen wollen, leider ist er im Jahr 2015 gestorben.

[@maxharper9282]

is he still around? I'm a documentary filmmaker and would love to get in contact with him!

[@ReubenWallOFFICIAL]

That was some beautiful yodelling, not some commercialised ridiculously fast tone switching but some smoothly laid out emotional tones.

[@HowToPronounceGerman]

I am glad you liked it :-)

[@GygaxGirl]

This brings tears to my Swiss eyes. Beautiful.

[@HowToPronounceGerman]

I love it too :)

[@godofrandom94]

also mine American tears, sounds like a holy angle

[@robertgrantham9103]

Now that's a proper Bavarian accent!

[@Research0digo]

Oh wow, look at the ceramic 'stove' (oven) beside him at 1:21!! What a wonderful thing to see in a video - thank you.

[@HowToPronounceGerman]

"Kachelöfen" (tile stoves) like the one you mentioned are still quite common in some parts of the Germany. They create uncomparable warmth and cosiness. Kachelofenbauk is a handicraft that becomes more common again in Germany, especially in Bavaria.

[@Trylobyte]

wonderful yodelling harmony!

[@nurrasidah4824]

We need more of this please 🥰

[@TrashmanCZ]

Thank you kind Bavarian. I will be back after one year of training.

[@HowToPronounceGerman]

I love this style of yodeling. I keep coming back to this video because it gives me exciting chills and a tingle that envelopes and infuses within my entire body to the point where I feel almost weightless. Very exhilarating, very healthy. Fast yodeling may be popular but I never hear a story. But here I am listening to a wonderful story.

[@nancychang9146]

Beautiful yodeling!

[@HowToPronounceGerman]

:-)

[@AngelicStormz]

Oh! Such a robust Germanic language!

I agree....

[@Soundofmusic777]

Thank you! We need more and more of this, please, with the authentic atmosphere, Kachelofen, Trachtkleider, Gemütlichkeit und Gesichtern von der alten guten Zeit! Bitte!

Da Herrgott schenke Dia de ewige Ruah, Biwi!

that was awesome!

[@jonaslemes08]

great video y'all, thanks

[@moggiee1]

I've searched all over to find if head voice or falsetto is used to yodel - and I still haven't found a definitive answer

[@HowToPronounceGerman]

moggiee1 If you look at this video you get the answer. The guy explains that the alteration of head voice and chest voice is characteristic.

[@moggiee1]

German Channel I have since found out that it is almost certainly falsetto that is used. Many people use the term head voice when they are actually referring to falsetto, as is the case in this video. However, that doesn't explain how women can yodel so well when they have just chest and head voice but no falsetto. I'm getting boring now, aren't I :)

[@gucdude]

+moggiee1 Falsetto is less of a register or voice and more of a tonal choice. Falsetto is when the focal folds aren't completely engaged, and the voice gains a more whisper-y tone to it. Every person has a separation between their "chest" register and "head" register, therefore everybody whether they are male or female can yodel. Many many many people make the mistake of calling falsetto a register, when really they are speaking of head voice or head resonance.

[@moggiee1]

+moggiee1 It is actually head voice. Having fruitlessly searched high and low for an answer to this I had to discover it for myself. It's all about developing the break in the voice from chest to head, rather than chest to falsetto (which is too weak in my case). Now I've learned this I'm loving yodelling :)

[@moggiee1]

+Maxwell Gucinski Thanks for your reply Maxwell, through trial and error I have indeed found that it is definitely chest and head voice that is used in yodeling. Strengthening the break from chest to head is the key to getting going with this

[@tonicroatian]

Very helpful :)

[@gemzee82]

how did i get here lol

[@livcater1729]

german jodlen ist so gut, wenn man auf einer party ist und dies oder eine polka auftaucht. Für Nicht-Deutsche klingt es verrückt

[@HowToPronounceGerman]

Ja, das stimmt!

[@HathaYodel]

echt!

[@HowToPronounceGerman]

HathaYodel Ja!

[@mitchellhobbs7533]

~oz~

[@nomad1517]

It's like falsetto on steroids.
