New Instrument - Xylofraud!

[@danygamer2590]

A bunch of friends having fun, peak youtube, this video has such an old vibe to it, like one of those videos that youtube recommends to everyone 13 years after it's been uploaded, it's actually nicer that some new ones

[@Excelsior-time]

2:13 "cardboard" made me laugh so hard. This video is hilariously well done, great job guys. Also, stinky.

[@kpk1171]

This is exactly what I would expect from a bunch of Colorado School of Mines students

[@Mitch_Watkins]

i think i remember mozart trying to invent something like this, but he wasnt talented enough to realize it thank god the team behind the xylofraud was able to come together to make this

[@redbuck1385]

I always use this rule of thumb when talking about famous historical figures: "If they were any good at what they did, they'd still be alive today." Case in point, every member of the xylofraud team is (as far as I know) still alive. That is true talent.

[@ILikeChickens1]

i wonder why it would have sounded bad 🧏‍♂👂

[@Sebalou622]

Was watching this and thinking “oh this feels like the video my sister made for that one project she did for some mechanical engineering class” and then it cuts to you on campus at mines lmao. Good shit orediggers

[@Alexthefancollector]

basically just a reinvention of the celesta.

[@Boredtobewild]

Oh I love that game!

[@Greentea_15]

Xylofraud now!

[@InventorZahran]

Celesta has bells, Xylofraud has tubes.

[@Stevie-J]

I love the name xylofraud though, so I'm pretending that tubular bells are not bells and therefore it's not a celesta

[@Wheatly_Portal2]

I just got jumpscared by oogashaka😭😭😭

[@WonkyWater-YT]

Same I turned my phone's sound up cos there was nothing and I got jump scared so loud

[@massimookissed1023]

It's like a celesta, but much much worse. Shoulda called it a typewronger. Cool project.

[@yeetskeetums2969]

This video has deeply changed the trajectory of my life forever. I wrote a poem just so that the weary travelers who find this video in the future may share in the joy I feel at this moment. A silent screen, a fleeting glance, A world unknown, a mystic trance. A wooden frame, a hollow core, A rhythmic beat, forevermore. A gentle tap, a sudden spark, Igniting passion, dark to dark. A primal urge, a soulful cry, A rhythm born, soaring high. A life transformed, a spirit free, A newfound voice, eternally. A beat of hope, a drum of dreams, A symphony of love, it seems. Exuberate. Xylo. Fraud.

[@gnoot50]

👏👏

[@scottmartin356]

Loved the sound when you picked up the tube array module 😊. The mechanical action does have a vibe of an old time cash register lol, but a lovely, well thought out project, as is the video!

[@ThatEverydayEnthusiast]

0:49 that’s amazing it can do this

[@thepython10110]

It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize that he was playing Silent Night, especially considering that I was literally singing it in choir only a few hours ago... Of course, part of it was just that some of the notes didn't quite play correctly, but still. Also, "stinky."

[@Pigroooo]

This is in fact peak youtube. These guys joined KZbin, dropped this banger 1 day after, and everyone who sees it loves it.

[@Xbatcam6]

This video's got student film type energy lol its so funny. you guys are great! keep it up!

[@shelleylinsley9085]

You guys are little scoundrels! Glad to see the youth are still capable of a little fun, with a healthy dose of creativity!! I loved the silly little monkey costume in the beginning. So cute!!

[@EmilyMatthews-zw5lk]

4:56 "yegch" And of course, stinky

[@Popbot]

i LOOOVE stuff like this!!! brilliant.

[@Popbot]

instrument sounds incredible as well! Lots of possibilities

[@Scratchydoesmusic]

Luke, you dingus!! also: 5:35 👁👄👁lookin ahh 7:11 i did NOT expect the next few pictures lmao

[@Saxophonin]

Yes youtube give me more of this. Oh also if you want to dampen then wooden clanking sounds you could try adding pads between where wood strikes wood.

[@blueberryy45]

I know the point of it is to be a more portable instrument, but I feel like a full 88 key xylofraud would be really cool

[@austinoblambino]

I liked the part where Luke the dingus played the hit xylofraud Christmas song, Inaudible Evening

[@sundown456brick]

this is what i needed, thank you so much you made someone's day slightly better :)

[@Lucius_Chiaraviglio]

Sounds like it's part glockenspiel and part mechanical cash register.

[@cabobsstopmotion4983]

Really liked the bit where the one guy kept getting further away during the assembly

[@ScottGrammer]

8:14 There for a moment I was afraid he would not be able to resolve to the root, and I was actually a bit on edge. Stinky.

[@aveoxus1139]

7:31 Would be great for parts in movies for kind of an angelic feel, very "It's a Wonderful Life" kind of presence.

[@iamsushi1056]

I really need the full length video

[@iamsushi1056]

Also, stinky (Mobile web doesn’t allow me to edit comments but I forgot to add that)

[@djewynne9638]

I bet you've already made revisions, for clarity of tone. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the making of the Xylofraud. Subscribed and liked. All The BEST, to ALL of you there!!! Merry Christmas!!!

[@oaties-tones]

I'm loving the creator energy here 😇💙 Neat instrument :3

[@baksoBoy]

Oh wow this was a super enjoyable video to watch! Amazing work!

[@indestructapro]

Actually I’m surprised this wasn’t already done… I’ve thought about this instrument many times, specifically what the xylofraud is, a piano with tubes instead of strings. Nice that you guys were the first to make it :)

[@luketech3767]

I do not know why youtube recommended me this, but I was not disappointed. Cool stuff! (Also "stinky")

[@SSSV94]

Nicely done ! It reminds me to the " Dactilofono o Maquina de tocar " - " Dactilophone or Playing machine " built in 1968 from a typewritter machine and aluminum tubes made by Gerardo Massana from the argentinian musical comedy group " Les Luthiers " they've made a lot of " informal instruments " as they called them I recomend " El polen ya se esparce por el aire " in which song the Dactilofono plays a lead role or " Loas al cuarto de baño " where all the instruments are based on bathroom equipments

[@JoBot__]

Just looking at the thumbnail, I could immediately tell this would be just like old KZbin.

[@Dystdotmp4]

genuinely amazing video. it feels so beautifully home-made. 10/10

[@azubilp]

Sounds like school project tbh... looks awesome! Great video

[@Trinull17]

I love the video. It fills me with glee.

[@morelanmn]

Well done. You next time try old auto drive shafts. They are hollow tubes with a filler material to stop them from ringing while in a car. Rear wheel drive cars and trucks. A deep sound. Heck they just make great wind chimes.

[@BelleColonD]

Xylofraud is a great name, but Xylofaux is right there 😭

[@CCCMTTT]

This has mad school project vibes

[@812guitars]

Lloyd Loar (music instrument inventor/pioneer) made a piano using chines that would never need tuning about 100 years ago. It was lost but found about 30 years ago and is still in tune. By the way the man also has various patents including the first electric piano and electric guitar going back about 90 years ago.

[@felix3931]

Shouldn't all KZbin be like this?

Yes

this is peak content. I can't wait for the next instrument to drop🔥🔥🔥

[@macmaccourt]

Felt dampers under the connection points of keys and actions. Isolate the hammers in an enclosure so the sound is not hampered by the mechanical noise. Good work.

[@Froxyze]

Please make more videos like this😂 Also, stinky

[@pixie99]

Thanks for a fun story😊😊

This absolutely seems like it was filmed/recorded 15 years ago lol. But this is also very Colorado

[@DZ-DizzyDumm]

This is why instruments are so damn expensive lol I want my own xylofraud now but my wallet is to empty and my craftmanship is too "stinky"

It's like a music box did the nasty with a typewriter

[@monstrousmoss]

yknow, I was losing interest in pursuing college after seeing so many friends get burnt out, but this video reminded me of the upsides: messing around with access to professional support also I read the description but I detest the word "stinky"

It’s got an interesting sound. Also Stinky

[@bigdaddyo1963]

Lovely.. can you tell me what background music you used when 'notplaining' the xylofraud? I love the tex-mex :-)

Thanks Frod! Very Cool!

[@gamerByDayandNight]

this should be called the xyloano

[@rexjolles]

dude reinvented the toy pianos from kindergarten

[@Ekhyub]

This is like a xylophone mended with a piano. It's kinda cool, but firstly, mass production will be a real loss of aluminium, so wouldn't be possible. Secondly, high and low notes will sound terrible. Thirdly, you have to invent the reverb pedal in inverse. And finally fourthly, don't try to invent new instruments when there are enough of them.

[@C_LT_Classic]

liked the video just for the sound at 3:05
