You would be a joy to live with.

[@JohnViinalass-lc1ow]

...I picked up my guitar and played along...again...Merrychristmasmakings, good sister!...be well!...

[@valerieschluger]

Thank you 😊

[@Fungusinian]

How on earth do you manage to make an old “snake oil salesman” type of instrument sound so beautiful? 🥲

[@alexbooyse9053]

I found her channel. Started at the top of the list and working my way down to the bottom of the list. My heart is warm and my face is smiling

[@BiffDemayo]

DeeDee please make merch (shirts, keychains, hats) I'm sure everyone would like to wear them and support your channel.

[@archbishopjohnjohnston1184]

Sound great thanks for sharing Total awesome enjoyed so much.

[@joksal9108]

Adorable. The music is nice too. 😊

[@marvinthemaniac7698]

If a mountain dulcimer had a child with an autoharp, this would be it.

[@RebeccaRuano]

Incredible! A magical instrument fairy god-mother, a sorcerer double-bow maker, and music like never heard before, this video has it all! Thank you for sharing this magical story and instrument! 💐🎄💕

[@kb3ojg461]

I have genuinely never heard one of these played.

[@hdragongirl7628]

I guess the biggest question is why didn’t many of these instruments survive to our modern day orchestras? They all have such unique sounds.

[@leelarsen3012]

MANY instrument manufacturing companies went out of Business through the Great Depression. Before that, there were hundreds of piano makers alone. By 1940, there were less than a dozen left really.

[@sallyrickerson9139]

These instruments are beautiful!!!! You play beautifully, and to know how to use these vintage instruments is very impressive!¡😊

[@Gartenlust]

Because the music -> symphonies became more demanding and the range and volume of the instruments increased. That's why instruments like the transverse flute were made of metal and with many keys. Since then, the wooden flute with finger holes and of course the recorder are no longer in the orchestra.

[@vanilla_milkshake]

I wish people would just drop old unique instruments at my door 😔 great rendition!

[@teresafarrell6457]

😯 Incredible. What a treasure. Loved the sound of the double bow. 😃

[@DarylSmith-zh7ig]

Sounds like an accordion and bagpipe mix. Thanks for sharing. I've never heard anything like it. It's beautiful

[@hhnew]

My goodness you are so accomplished on so many instruments. I’m in awe.

[@glennkemp7450]

Another unique instrument, that Lady definitely gave it to the right person!

[@Chef-James]

Impressive lady!

[@crystalclearwindowcleaning3458]

What a unique instrument. The double bow was wonderful!

[@stevekirkpatrick1612]

I always thought the original tension on the string (from a finger on a fret) made the sound. I never would have thought secondary tension did anything. / I never would have imagined a second bow in a simultaneous pass could create a harmony when run on the same set of strings. I would say it's a game changer, but I can't play any instruments. Maybe for the musicians in the audience it's an eye opener.

[@richardrebeck4738]

Wow, you have great knowledge 👍and skills. I wish you were my neighbor, growing up. 😀

[@counter10r]

My dad had a violin-uke! We messed around with it as children, but never proficiently. So great to actually hear one played!

[@verminter]

Thank you for continuing your teaching here on KZbin!

[@lindaarmstrongjackman9788]

What a wonderful instrument. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@deedeetibbits]

One of my favorites!!

[@fionamartin4281]

Such a talented person

[@shawnmcpeak6184]

Fantastic!

[@matthewpatrick5139]

The triple bow effect kinda makes it sound like a harmonica. Cool instrument!

[@MrBoz07]

KZbin recommendation that doesn't disappoint. Thank you!

[@pallen9044]

I'll admit I clicked because i thought you had a really neat name, and I'm glad I did! Thank you for doing these, I'm going to have a good time exploring the rest of your videos!

[@genghis_connie]

Okay, now I’m just filled with instrument envy! This was great. Thank you!

[@guaporeturns9472]

I’m eagerly awaiting the Hurdy Gurdy episode

[@J3rs3y_G1rl]

I was expecting Jingle Bells to be played on bells. Lol Beautiful playing!

[@markmartinloyola]

Enjoying the music with my kids here on the weekend before Christmas. They played a little autoharp in their music class in the past few years!

[@sandraspring5239]

Wow! Awesome & So Beautiful!

[@ittybittykittymama7582]

Now that's just amazing! You sound like an a whole band of mountain fiddlers all by yourself! You're truly gifted by the LORD, both with these beautiful instruments and the talent and ability to make them sing!

[@JohnViinalass-lc1ow]

...no 'LORD' had anything to do with our artist's acquiring and learning to play her instruments...why must you godgoofs always need to credit some imaginary, cloud-mafia boss for the products of real people's work and credit some imaginary, cloud mafia boss

[@Iceland874]

It reminds me of a shamasen but this is more shrill. A bowed dulcimer is nice too.

[@SwirlingSoul]

I love interesting instruments! I think we underestimate what beautiful kinds of music there were in more ancient times.

[@dr.zither]

Thank you for sharing this nice instrument!

[@robyndavis3043]

You are amazing! I don’t usually watch music vids on KZbin, but I have watched six of your’s and am delighted. I thank you for taking the time to tell us about an instrument’s history before playing, it enriches the experience. I am not sure I will ever want to hear these carols any other way now. Thanks again for sharing 😊

[@hazel1296]

Oh my goodness I've just found my new role model! I'm 22 and currently have about 16 instruments I think. Scrolling through your channel I can see what I want to be like in a few more years. Thank you!

[@shirleyferguson2169]

Great job!!👍🏾 I've never ever seen or heard or experienced an instrument of this magnitude. I believe God Inspired that lady to gift you with "that big bag" of instruments because He Gifted you to share His magnificence in blessing the rest of us! Thank Him & thank you for sharing your unique talent 😊

[@gordonr4104]

Same!! I'm 28 and have 9 or 10... I'm so glad youtube recommended us her channel! She's just a star lol

[@cathoderaytube7497]

16 different kinds of instruments or 16 of the same kind? I've got quite a few myself.

[@richardbedard1245]

Fascinating! You can tune and play instruments I've never heard of!

[@frogchair]

23 with like 5, but making my way up there!!! Go team 💪

[@letsdomoregood]

That was remarkably good, especially with the extra bow! Wow! You may have just played that instrument in a way that no one else has done in human history! Can you imagine that? Awesome!

[@dennisclapp7527]

That is amazing! Thank you Dee Dee.

[@katrinalyvers]

That was amazing. I’ve never seen an instrument like that before.

Thank you Dee Dee for educating and entertaining us! Merry Christmas!

[@galekeeler3125]

That was amazing!!!

[@haydenlloyd3377]

Holy Toledo, What a gorgeous three-part harmony sound with those special bows. It sounds like a bunch of jingle bells jingling along with it in addition to the wonderful music. “On Dasher, on Dancer”…etc.!

[@michaelfleming40]

Perhaps Julian and Sean Lennon, James McCartney, and Dhani Harrison could form a group and use some of your instruments, ma'am. 😊❤

[@tabithamarsh3188]

So creative using another bow at the same time. Fun to hear how other instruments sound. Thanks! :)

[@PrinceFrogFrog]

Lovely.. it looks like a modern developer of a psaltery.

[@megoryan4692]

That's pretty much what I thought, when I first heard it.

[@ellenreimer3915]

This is an amazing instrument and you are very talented. Loved hearing this instrument

[@CNder77]

Another cool video, thank you again DeeDee:) Merry Christmas

[@LMCLTV84]

@DeeDee Tibbits , wow , you have some fun instruments . I enjoyed the Navajo flute. And Austrian harp. We have a banjolin in the family . It is a mandolin sized banjo. I'm not sure how to fix tune or play it. The bridge is loose. It's seems really crazy but we may be related. Great maternal grandmother was a Tibbits from Kansas City Brothers Paul and Laffy Tibbits . We must be related to Captian Tibbits of the Enola Gay fame . His pilot's log book or diary is at the Smithsonian , I think Are you related to this famous Pilot also??

[@lindaed3594]

Oh wow! That sounds fantastic! Love the double harp ‘Country & Western’ rendition!

[@starlight2171]

It sounds so beautiful❤
