I liked seeing you experiment with it, just noodling around. Sounded so like a motor at times.

[skeletone111]

LOL. I love this especially the Dr. Who part:)

[lewdite]

Well, who would have thunk it! A dan bau movement in the making...

[YoppyKyabetsu]

There is definitely movement. I moved it from the garage to the kitchen, then from the kitchen to the living room...

Thanks for introducing me to this unusual instrument.

[ctrymaus]

Wow! And you made my day with the Doctor Who opening! :-D

[YoppyKyabetsu]

See! I knew you were good people! It was tricky, too, since the girlie had to work the pitch while I drummed the rhythm. Thanks!

I am that guy that makes you groan when you open your subscriptions, cause I have posted 20 new videos, all 7 to 15 minutes long.

pretty genius stuff Yoppy! can you build me a hovercraft out of shoeboxes and duct tape next?

[YoppyKyabetsu]

Flying cars is an area I assigned to Yopp Jr when he was old enough to understand the concept of a car that flies. So far that venture has been lacking in signs of success or advancement.

[mugambismonkey]

Yoppy, you are incredible! I admire your creativity!

[YoppyKyabetsu]

Sadly, my family has to live the the products of that creativity. They are not so impressed. *grin*

[UKISOCIETY]

I want a garage like yours.

Too many possibilities, or none. I can't decide which! : )

[YoppyKyabetsu]

Yep. I have been on a binge lately. But now I am running low on several of my building supplies. There is always Christmas coming though.

I noticed tyhat on a you tube video I was looking at featuring the Dan Bau the instrument had some spot marks below the string that were used as reference points for where to pluck.

That stick at the end so reminds me of a Etherwave-Theremin

[YoppyKyabetsu]

Yep, I have some marks on mine, but it doesn't seem to be helping me much.

Oddly enough, that was exactly my response when I first saw it. Theremin.

[floydbluethereal]

Cool!

[YoppyKyabetsu]

Thanks
