[Hyenashowl]

YES!! Someone else knows what a whamola is!!

[buttchy78]

[krejzimicz]

great! like berimbao combined with the guitar and mouth harph !!! very impresive!

[ngrcia]

Not very melodic but I like the technique

[korriken]

sounds terrible solo, however, if you put it together with something else, it would probably be awesome.

[feardom13]

[jelleoelle]

Sounded like crap.

[PooJiraiya]

the nickname for it is called a ghost catcher

[AKickToTheNuts]

he made my kankaroo leap through a closed window

[dudeman1823]

[skodas]

[Lomea]

It's strange, but it's actually awesome! XD

[droober]

i think it sounds awesome... maybe yall watched a different video

[TheCallumhomden]

[bigdjindustriez]

Well apparently Buffy St. Marie didn't think so, and she was famous for a good 40 - 50 years for using a mouth bow.

[nitehawk57]

[gosch89]

[abrod77]

[threelegduck]

[Andymac175]

cool instrument.. man would people make fun of you if you picked that one to play in middle/high school band man...

[futsol55]

thats attractive........

[moehawk17]

Cool instrument. :) Keep the creative juices flowing.

[buddha465]

whats the meaning of holding it with one hand and in the mouth?? :S

[theycallmemk]

the way he opens his mouth makes different sounds. try putting a earphone near the opening of ur mouth and opening it wider and canging the amount it is open. it will sound different. he is using this same idea.

[vetzku]

is there a meaning of doing this? cant see the point here...

[MelOAyness]

How can you ask after listening to this video: Is there a meaning of doing this?

It is an old Armenian shaman's instrument that is played feverishly to put a curse upon your enemies. You can tell by the fever pitch of this man's playing that he so wishes to conquer many enemies but most easily detected from a careful listening, is his focal target is the man who has slept with his wife while he was tending the flock, because of his wife's adultery, he has become the laugh of his village!

[abrod77]

insane much?

[repleyl]

lol?

[lookity]

That is cool. Piss on these assholes sounding off negative---It would be nice to hear a slow piece performed

[4471548nwn]

Thats just wierd!!

GET A LIFE!!

[Market166]

i bet you don't have a wife my friend

[BAMF520]

ugh. this hurts my ears.

[QuamAmoena]

This funny and original!

[marcburo]

i just have one question... why it has to be stuck into the mouth...

[librano]

what if the string snaps??? the guy's face is at the end of it... aaah now i see what you meant by versatile...

[kurropt]

Brushing his teeth !

[mhf197]

Lousy.

[remusthegreatone]

it would be better if it played more than one note.

[gnamus]

it does play more than one note,

and if he was any good it could play alot more than the couple he modulates between

[Lestratosphere]

All the incredible amateur music videos there are on YT and this and some stupid cucumber trumpet that sounds like someone making hand farts gets featured. C'mon who the hell is picking these videos. Do they need me to do it for them. Hey YouTube just let me know and I'll direct you to 1000's of vids worth watching.

[CapitanoGUC]

th internett ist to small for us two - see you at twelve in the front of the saloon - cowboy

[crackpipepipe]

this is gay

[jakeinyourbox]

my thoughts exactly

[jarbon5]

Lil buddy is getting down!

[magg0tmacdonald]

anyone else wanna punch that thing down his throat? probably make it sound better.

[LastPersonNG]

This is madness!

[demoniclordwizard]

This is fucking stupid , that sounndus like shit , why dont u just bang a rock on the floor to a tempo and call it the picking rock. The sound is so basic , whats the poing ? We're living in 2008 not 1000 BCE , LOL.

[caterpillarnut]

Said the dude who listens to Spider Loc. What's your point?

[abtube101]

Wahahhaha.. thats sick dude...great job

[CatFreat]

Why you got it in your mouth ?

[xxxMissBrokenHearTxx]

Look up Ms.Joe! Put this on 35 other videos or you'll get ripped apart in 5 hours by Bloody Mary!

[k0waii]

noisy...

[Amkii]

That is awesome!!! Keep up the great and creative work! This sounds so good! Kind of reminds me of techno music at some points, lol!

[Felthorien]

reminds me of the traditional southern instrument Jaw Harp.

[shamanko1]

wao... nice

[13377hi3f]

Well, I heard that Outback Stakehouse wants new music for their commercials...

[Ninjasqrlgirl]

Wow!  I've never seen such an instrument!

[ni7enichi]

awesome shirt. and cool little mouth bow.

[SaileAway]

I wonder how many times a broken rubber band has smacked him in the eye.

[FranklinParkIL]

This would be the perfect instrument to use in the film Apocalypse Now. The scene would be as the military river boat makes its way th Col Kurtiz's encampment, as the standing white painted faced people in their canoes part to let the gun boat through. The instrument would need to be played a little slower for the scene in a twisted forboding style.

[Onirayushizobura]

I never really understood why people put their mouth on it. Could somebody please explain to me? Thanks a lot.

[carlotta4th]

How else would you hold it? Strap it to your shoulders?

[brian940808]

to make the different pitches =/

[fobulousfl1p]

people's heads are more acoustically sound versus holding it in place on your leg. iuno im just guessing. ha.

[vunamese]

i really want to floss now

[thechinkyone]

sounds like that one instrument the aborigines play.

[Shureshot12]

lol a diggerydoo or however the heck it's spelled...those things are great :D

[CLUTESIGENERATION]

lol

[AgresticProductions]

That's awesome, but I think you meant "..more versatile than a 'juice' harp".

[antilles27]

No, Jews harps are a real thing. Makes me laugh every time I hear it, its like a little cheap excuse for a harp you play with your mouth.

[nigromango]

LOLOLLOL he must practice that in bed a lot :)

[TheRealShadoninja]

the problem I foresee is some moron will get that thing stuck in his mouth and break all his teeth and his parents will sue or something.

[ronmann606]

that doesn't take much skill

[rsftl]

If it dosn't take much skill... Can i see your video of you doing it?

[ronmann606]

No, I don't own one. I play guitar and sax and I can tell that the picking doesn't take much skill, the mouth and breathing, maybe.

[xnick311x]

I'd hate to listen to music made with this shit.

[DarkeningAsia]

uhhh...ooookay!

[LemonOperations]

that's awesome!

[sparkledance]

so say that string breaks...

[sooperzoop]

ouch

[megamaster911]

LMAO!!!

[cndhighwalker]

stupid nipper find somethin better todo with ur time

[sorich]

A product of dipping your nuts in coconut oil!

[andydidge]

Youtube search 'DIJBOW' to see an electric one that's also a didgeridoo!

[OrcOnAFork]

ya wat he said

[sou3789]

this doesnt look right...and dont say i have a nasty mind cuz if u do then u saw the same thing...

[skatman06]

i kept hearing one of these when i was on acid a couple months ago..hahah

[Sror3d]

So from all the stroking, when does it finally squirt jizz haha

[reaperofgenocide]

It almost sounds like that instrument that plays that drowning noise in the intro to Bathory-One Rode to Asa Bay

[UEGResurrected]

i bet you like that bow in your mouth

suprised happy face*

[mauriciojcf]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­

[mackhomie]

yeah really. where covenant

[ronpack]

if you can play Morbid Angel - The Lion's Den then I'll think you're a master :)

[lresto6]

OMG i wish i had that life

i will give u a dallor if u teach me

[quilla023]

excelente

[FierceDeity33]

this is really cool! i can almost imagine the drums to it when the string is muted, very cool :)

[hellokittyfreak1993]

ok...

[apuoks]

it's big enough for everyone to hear, I don't think you have to put it in your mouth ;DD unless you are obsessed with putting long things into your mouth ;DDD

[jazzdbassman87]

his mouth acts as a resonating chamber, there are similar but smaller mouth instruments like this in javanese culture where the player bites onto the instrument and the teeth and mouth form the amplifier

[Amadeojd]

I the guy was good with his instrument could've been kindda cool.

[channel606]

his arms remind me of robin williams

[Rayerdon]

How about you go out there and discover music. Instead of talking rubish. This is a great video. I have played things like this befor.

[babybluebabe2952]

uhmm.

kaay?

[emeticum]

Sounds more like a cry for a warm bed in a mental hospital then an instrument.

[MistaJussu]

Man with A LOT of too much free time..

And I mean, no disrespect but that doesnt even sound melodic..Its like when you play a guitar and when your fingers slide on the cord then it makes an AWFUL noise and ruins the feeling..

This was kindof like that, just that in this vid, it lasted for a minute, not half a sec.

[Stadair]

And "kindof" is not a word. Do you know how to write sentences?

[monsterfacegreen]

is he trying to play sabotage?

[monkeymshr21]

doesn't sound like it

[Yarcofin]

It doesn't play music, it just plays "noise".

[bbcaprice]

lololololololololololol wtf?

[PlayGUITARin6DAY]

what th€...

[ericakelly01]

it would be cooler with some electronicaaa :P

[alanportfolio]

wtf?

[DanHasAMillion]

you can tell from his shirt that he learned to do this in the alps

[runlikehell23]

everyone is blowing away!

[Geeklady]

Alrighty then

[triviumlambofgod]

i think its awsome, good stuff man

[ccfcfan1987]

SELL OUT !

[alvincay100]

Somebody check this guy into a mental hospital.

[AFI421]

WOW thats crazy!! with one string! i love it! its cool and weird at the same time! !

[happykrazy]

Damn, picking bowl/ mouth bowl is crazy. Holding it and balance yourself n instrument, priceless.

[chillichomper]

What song are you supposed to be playing? Sounds more percussive than melodic

[faultymath]

probably because it IS a percussion instrument...

[Weaseldog2001]

Good Job Pete.

Some instruments are a challenge to showcase in a solo setting.

These days, we are trained to have a very narrow appreciation of music and instrumentation. Our musical imaginations are moulded with corporate cookie cutters.

If it ain't DJ mixed loops and rap, some folks just won't like it. For them, if it isn't corporate crap, then it sucks. for them, music more than a few months old is old-timey.

[sweetoothowns]

Well said.

To all the haters. Let's see you guys get off your fat butt and do something like this.

[5psi]

Not exactly my cup of tea.

[dice4717]

can you see someone breaking this out at a party? lol people have way to much time on there hands

[Weaseldog2001]

And at:

watch?v=ALFKIWKQK9A&feature=re­lated

[Weaseldog2001]

Buffy-Sainte Marie demonstrates this intrument and gives us a bit of history at:

watch?v=krx2MoTaAVo

[AlienFromMars007]

Retard

[tom9172]

it dont sound good

that was shit

[OldGrandmaTime]

Youtube is gay when they have to host this kinda shit,It has no tune just noise....America is to be distracted by shit like this while our Government Takes more of our freedoms away,Beautiful Isn't it?

[mzadagza]

dude , your right this is shit..in relation to your other comment: I would stop worrying about the things you cant change .These distractions as you put it are entertainment .Understand what youtube is: a means of freedom,that your government cant take away.

[kande69]

weird

[TheChristianExample]

play some MCR!

[P4cCo]

lame !

[AtlDYnasty25]

this earns the wtf stamp of confusion

[AetVfury]

there was no use of the mouth there, imo hes enjoyin the big stick in his mouth lawlz

[Onthebrokenroad]

hahaha ! LOL

[HotPinkKitties]

AetVfury, your comment is LAWLZ!

[deftonesasu]

......? hmmm

[GaNMUT]

is that britney?

[Onthebrokenroad]

lmfao!

[mikesadick]

Sounds like bad phone reception to me

[shjoed]

Nice picking

[thomasamagne]

what's the reason for holding it in the mouth?

[leat124]

I think it has something to do with echo. Have you ever seen those weird little mouth instruments? This is pretty cool, but looks pretty akward

[Jero8]

the mouth acts as a resonator to carry the sound. he uses it to change the pitch.

[kukuk24]

how weird was that ^^ xD

[snowwolfsabertooth]

pretty cool

[franklebest]

Yeah looks like beastie boys !

[kawatan2001]

crazy guy! LOL!

[UriGellerSucks]

ha it sounds like a digeridoo (?)

do you write it like this?

[MeowsyDancer]

Not to sound cruel... but it looks gay, and sounds gay. Even the name is gay.

Have a Gay Day! ^_^

[sykfuk]

insecure are we? try playing a guitar, there kinda curvaceous like a woman's body

[plastallic]

:O woah that's awesome
