[@C.s.Strike]

​ @InstrumentManiac OK WHAT I HAVE BEEN WATCHING YOU FOR 1 YEAR CONTINOUSLY BUT I HAVE NEVER SEEN YOU PLAY STYLOPHONE. You are truly an instrumental maniac (I play stylophone, bass clarinet, clarinet, alto clarinet, piano and might start learning contrabass clarinet (Mainly bc of you) . Been learning clarinet for nearly 6 years now :D)

[@Noted1ble]

the way the saxophones matched with the flute was crazy and the stylophone sounded exactly like the actual song

[@WishfulWind]

Aha! My WhatsApp profile picture! Honestly, though! It's such an amazing cover 🥹

Using the knife was such an unforeseen but awesome move, your covers are so insane and unique! Also the cookies looked so yummm

You're doing the fandom proud, and I know Toby Fox would love this. The execution, the energy, even the presentation. Absolutely spot on. Bravo.

[@HexaflexagonFan]

you worded this like he died or something lol

[@RickAstley-qd8bn]

If you don't look at the obsessive virtuoso man in the video, you can imagine that each instrument is being played by a different spider.

[@Cyrashe]

Oh my god. The stylophone, the guitar pick on the harp, plucking violin strings, ...chopping walnuts??? Spider Dance has always been my favorite song on the Undertale soundtrack, and I practically squealed when I saw the "Upcoming..." on my recommended. You made the song even more fun than it already was. You did amazing, and this is absolutely my favorite Undertale cover of yours to date. Thank you so much

[@InstrumentManiac]

Ahh thank you Cyrashe!!

This game is the save point. When you stop playing, you go back again to it. You play it over and over again. It does not get boring by any chance. Game is living in our hearts.

[@Bertimusprimicus]

The harp picking, the accelerating knife sharpening, it all makes me feel so giddy

[@0ndj0n]

I'm still amazed how this game keeps inspiring such quality content 8 years after its release. Just discovered your channel today, and I'm super impressed with the music production, arrangement, video editing, and how you theme the video to the games story. I will definitely support the spider bake sale!

[@InstrumentManiac]

thank you for your support! 🍪

[@bucketoflaughter5207]

Three parts to my rating of this music video 1. Note synergy Nailed it, 10 points for this part. 2. Dynamics/How you play the notes You captured the bounce to the song perfectly, as well as the slight choppiness interstates within. 10 points 3. Theatrics/Editing As per usually, the editing was on point and really helped the bounciness of the song stand out with a slight bounce to your stature. The cookies also helped fit the theme of Muffet, so 10 points in that regard. This is just my personal opinion, but if someone watches your videos consistently and doesn’t enjoy listening, they are lying to themselves. All of your covers are not only amazing, but they also are unique in their own way. Keep being great, though I doubt you need someone to tell you.

[@InstrumentManiac]

😭🙏❤️❤️

[@pablez94]

This is not just a musical masterpiece with plenty of unconventional play styles and vintage/unusual instruments, but also on a videomaking stand point, it's written perfectly and is incredibly interesting to watch and not just listen to. By far the best one from you so far!!

[@InstrumentManiac]

Ahh thank you Pablez!

[@affsteak3530]

The editing on the harp playing, making your fingers jump from string to string emulating the boss fight was amazing. 🎉🎉🎉 I also love vintage, electronic, and weird instruments so the stylophone was delightful.

[@BakerBones]

i think it's because it's to hard to pick the harp that fast

[@affsteak3530]

@@BakerBones I also accept happy coincidences.

[@tfc6556]

As a violinist, the way you fingered the strings at 1:10 stabbed me in the gut. But apart from that, I'm honestly blown away by the creativity of the presentation, and the way you used a knife for sound effects. The mastery over a variety of instruments is amazing! Another great banger has once again been released.

[@flowerheart2054]

Well there is definitely knife om thumbnail, so, fitting

[@tfc6556]

Yeah. But for some reason his fingering still has better intonation than me 😢

[@JoeyThorburn]

You have once again blown me away! Of course, the use of the knife sharpening was a genius way of incorporating narrative elements into the percussion, but I was also impressed by the use of the pick on the harp to get that sharp staccato rather than a typical long resonant note. Maybe this is a common practice but I’ll admit I’ve never seen it before! The accuracy on the descending trills was amazing too, it’s such a fast paced song and you kept the note integrity so clean. The saxophones were also a fantastic choice, and you looked like you were having so much fun with the flute! And, of course, never underestimate the power of a well-placed triangle 😎 incredible work once again my guy!!

[@typo1345]

traditionally you use your nails for the picking sound but I have seen a guitar pick used on a harp before, and tbh I prefer it to the nail picking

[@gaalrh7079]

oh, oh I'm ADORING the ridiculous amount and specific instruments used here, the sheer ENERGY and fun i had watching this is amazing. the choppy style editing representing the specific energy one gets listening to that song. the flutes and use of the knife, everything here is delightful. love all your work but i often just binge the videos and forget the comments but ✨✨✨

Wow, awesome cover! Spider Dance is totally one of my favorites from Undertale. Your editing is also getting really, really good lately. The stylophone was really neat and looked bigger and fancier than most stylophones I've seen (including the one I have). Nice job as always :)

Love this one a lot, possibly your best Undertale cover yet. This video was a treat for the eyes as much as the ears, I love your video editing style and the little references you put in. Also all the instruments you used is amazing, I hope I'll be able to use a knife as well as you someday. But the wide array of instruments you use is really cool. The part where the music all picks up at the mid-point and the end is really amazing, it's can only be described as beautiful. Hope you do CORE soon (am I asking too much?)

I'm always so shocked by this man's talent. I can't possibly fathom all the hard work that went into learn and honing his skills with so many instruments, not to mention the effort that goes into planning and executing these cover pieces that, at the same time, keep so much of the original but improve upon them, putting in the exact vibe you'd want from the song, and also the editing, with references and honestly the overall good vibe he brings. I'm thankful for your work, Luke. I hope for the best for you.

Luke, this is incredible! I have been watching and silently admiring your videos for quite a while now, ever since I saw your cover of "Snowy" in my recommended (then I watched all of your Thomas covers!) I love your extremely innovative and well-thought arrangements and all the dedication that you put in both the music and the video. Your cover of "Battle Against A True Hero" was, I can say with confidence, the greatest Undertale cover I've ever heard (and I've heard many!) and this one was super fun aswell. This is in no way a song request, but if you like this type of soundtracks then I *highly* recommend listening to songs from rhythm games such as the Deemo soundtrack, or some of the more classical tracks from Arcaea such as "Paradise"... I feel like you would love those.

[@InstrumentManiac]

Ahh thank you Frances! I'll check Deemo out :)
