Somewhere far far away in a foreign land, in a traditional looking house with an ancient computer ,a man dressed like a lumberjack plays an extremely difficult piece on an extremely difficult instrument with absolute skill and precision!!We salute you sir!!!This is what youtube is all about!!

@@mediocreman6323 It definitely would take you longer to get from Vienna to the Staffelsee than half an hour. Maybe if you take an F-16 you could make it but in a car, I suppose it's more like a 5 hours drive.

​@@BobbySpiessVienna Genau! SCHNELL und LAUT - vorzugsweise mit BILDERN. Die junge Generation ist das Ergebnis unserer Anleitung, Schon Kleinkinder sind "Zielgruppe" der Werbung, zu wenig Schutz vor dem Einfluss der Industrie.

[@drydock43]

Dexterity is amazing, Anton would be pleased this man decided to take up this extremely difficult instrument

[@RackwitzG]

TTM is one of my alltime favorites ever. Seeing how it's played freaks me out. The instrument.... Imagine tuning the thing first, then pressing the strings from above (which is just a matter of getting used to, I guess), then plucking the bass strings with your hand (pinky) spread out that wide. I don't know if playing an instument gets any more difficult than this. Kudos to this man! Astonishing what the alpine farmers came up with.

[@martinamaul7909]

Vielen Dank ! Hörgenuss vom Allerfeinsten ! 😊❤

[@borkumriff642]

This instrument seems to be very difficult to play, having never tried it myself, but just by watching. I am extremely impressed by the fluidity and beauty of your music. Excellent!

[@patmurphy389]

A little bit, once you understand all the chords are in a circle of fifths & your major & minor chords are together, it becomes simpler. The accompany strings are pluck one, skip two strings & pluck the third & fourth strings...The fret's are for playing the melody, just like on a mandolin. So it's always pluc one, skip two strings for accompaniment chords. It takes a while to get the hang of it, but once you do it becomes easier. Right now I cannot hit the bass notes, but I can hit the chord notes.

[@WJack97224]

@@@patmurphy389, Thank you for the explanation though I know not music or how to play any instrument. Der Dritte Mann is one of my favorite tunes. I so enjoy The Third Man episodes by Orson Wells or George Orwell or H.G. Well or ? So many wells I can't remember.
