[xelanhua]

This is AWESOME!!

[Tomasito261]

brilliant, I thoroughly enjoyed the technology and the music.

Calumbri

[javierhdx1]

when you dont have friends to play with you, just create them...

nerd

[complexrhythm]

I hope you reproduce. This is awesome. Don't mind the haterz.

[dynadude56]

I bet that really turns on the chicks! Oh sorry. Chicks are females, women, hotties, squeeze, girls. I'm sure you've seen them around.

[MrRoostercolorado]

or maybe you could use a harmonikeylele

[P2370FER911]

NICE VIDEO

VERY VERY GOOD

THANKS

[toresbe]

That's not a "footering of random geeks", that's me who fixed that organ!

Took me bloody hours to sand the gold paint off the keys - and I only got the bottom row done. I *love* this video. The MIDI controller is simply genius!

[JHelmet]

I agree with whitesexybeast69.. But this was pretty neat to watch hah

[whitesexybeast69]

yo after seeing this mabie you do need some friends no offence

[dsteen2952]

Cool, The solenoid clicking added the percussion section ;-)

[proricky325]

awesome

[qwackfartz]

Actually, when I think about it, those go together pretty well if you exclude the kazoo. Get yourself a high-quality kazoo, it'll perfact the instrument.

[crouts0]

"High Quality kazoo" hahahaha.

[qwackfartz]

Hey, you're using a pretty cheap one. Of course, a high-quality one still isn't really an instument but the sound IS better. It's a buzzing and not a sort of nasal whining.

[qwackfartz]

WOOO KAZOOKEYLEE! YOU ROCK!

[vaaaaaaaaaal]

the kazoo thingy's ur invention? whao cool.

[MrSmoogoomakoo]

<3 ...Too bad YouTube can't just leave at that because that comment is too short. xD

[xXxteddy2shoesxXx]

OMGWTFBBQ epic

[jappa023]

you sir, are a legend!!!

[Josh94Roberts]

I agree with movemelody1, however, he missed a vital component to the main point of this illustrious performance. The man is a TWAT.

[movemelody1]

Unusual man -  full of music genius.What an idea.Very curious sound, especially orgel with ukulele. Awesome.

[linkofspades]

Quite possibly one of the most original ideas out there, amazing!

[HermannPalmer]

Ich werd' verrückt.

Aber irgendwie klasse gemacht.

[Sidarion]

WTF BBQ!?

[ithalis]

Ok, which one of you is the retard?

Brilliant :P

[tazman6232007]

holy shit...lol... that was awsome

[tallercaller]

This joins my favorite covers of this tune--thanks for the creative ability of all involved to make this great rendition!

[runesmDK]

Hahaha, this is awesome :D Keep up the good work, this is so spectacular!

[Beefarino44]

Bravo! Major respect for the Waldflöte idea!

[FredFerdberger]

where did you get access to a pipe organ? most people don't just have them in their basements. The setting is kind sinister.

[david00351]

PRETTY COOL!!

freakin' nice...

it's really funny actually =P

[Runescape92gogagaigo]

amazing boy^^

[KyciliaZabi]

HAHAHAH!!!! dude... this is SOOOO badass!!!

[janaki68]

You are an amazing and unique individual! You make the world a much less boring place to live.

Don't listen to the haters...they live in a box.

=D

[Foxx93]

Shut up my box is epic!

[crouts0]

my box has a shipping address, its a great way to travel

[micp4130]

i lol'd

[Funnypandalonies]

@janaki68 what kind of box do they live in?  is it a cardboard box like the ones hobos live in? or is it a tin box like a preschoolers lunch box....??

[anotherpercystreet]

This is brilliant, if not a little sad!! "Deliverance" will never be the same again.

[icychill420]

Do i see an internal PCI soundcard up on that Waldflöte? I saw a midi execution too. How did you get hardware to send jolts to those keys? How long did it take you to time everything out correctly? I assume it initially was a very slow process. So many questions about this process youve got going on here. I like it!!

[crouts0]

the link in the side bar will explain all

[FredFerdberger]

this guy is genius!

He as built Frankenstein's organ. ha ha.

[micp4130]

IT*S ALIVE!!!

[TheChalkwellLadies]

This is very good but I wonder if it wouldn't be possible to add a subtle tempo change from the end of verse 1? The double time section is clearly a brave attempt at upping the tempo but I do feel a subtle incline would be so much the more musical.

But bravo to you and all involved in this fabulous project.

Cordial greetings from sunny Chalkwell.

[borntoride88]

Piano thing wins

[Cameronlikesramen]

ha i love it!!!!

[drumingmachine]

This is like uber gay, but far beyond that

[Sonnythemobster]

O LAWDY LAWDY POCKETS IS A MESSIAH!!!

[djukela94]

nice

[AlnTi]

I'm at a lack of words.. T'was great.

[nanoquaver]

dear crotusO, is the keyboard on the kazookelele backwards? it looks like the high notes are on the left and low notes on the right... or am i just retarded?

[crouts0]

well in your words, just retarded

[KLAbe81]

Oh Boy! Is father Brennan gonna be pissed when he finds out what you did to the parish organ!

haha nice rendition tho.

Silly but entertaining.

5 stars for originality.

[AsymptoteInverse]

That is the coolest rendition of "Dueling Banjos" I've ever heard!

[MAVVAAFFANCULO]

good job. I really liked it.

[KTownEgghead]

Great :D

[NinjaTheTube]

I can't imagine how awesome the kazookeylele would be on "Through the Fire and Flames".

[theShice]

oh yeah, please! do dragonforce!

[soniamattosomoura]

Parabéns imaginação fértil maravilha!!!!!!!!!

[Yakimikku]

everything you choose to be makes me angry

[Ogrim88]

What did the cantor say about this? :)

[rorboo]

woooooooooooooooow!!!!!!!!!!!!

how can i get 1 of those piano ukeleles?

[venom262]

hehe, that was all kinds of awesome

[devv42]

My hero!

[shreksdog]

that's pretty cool.

[lefonoob]

OO WTF

[themothaflippin]

impressive

[BigOg67]

Totally, completely and undoubtedly weird as fuck... and quite possibly touched by sufficient madness as to be genius... wonderful!

[bjarkemp]

man YOU ARE A FUCKING GENIOUS!!!

[domalog]

haha thats cool

bet you dont get bored

lollol

[japoofry]

Pockets well done ! But if you get a job you'll have less time to put gud+different productions together. Programme the Waldflote+let it accompany you on your next musical act !!Perform :-) That's ur strength.

[FullyLoaded66]

NERD!!

[RelentlessBoner]

This video is so cute and awesome, I love it

[lolitakampika]

pedazo friki de mierda

[Rozencraft]

jajaja no tiene quien le haga el dueto y se tiene q inventar una maquina XD

[frangador]

eres mas tonto k un vocao en la poya

[joeresington]

There is no apostrophe in banjos. Please edit the title of this video. Thanks.

[jordburn]

What an asshole.

[joeresington]

[rishy561]

[jordburn]

Wait... What?

[rishy561]

oh sorry, my apologies, my computer is gay and didnt show that you were calling some other guy a name, i thought you were calling kazookeylele names.

[jordburn]

Oh hell no!

I love that Stuff XD

[koridatz]

this is the best version i've heard of dueling banjos

[zuksammy]

this is so full of WIN that's it almost unmeasurable.

[METALLICAandBPMrule]

that end strum, the very last one right before the final piano key is truck at 3:06-3:07, sounds similar to banjo. lol

how ironic. lol

[TheEastCheese]

WHAT IS THAT!?

[dead764]

you are my hero!

[Nemesiz6alex]

Holy mother of gods, you'll conquer the world and make us all your slaves, repent!

[Icix1]

that is amazing

[Plastofam]

What???!!! it's amazing

[leifert3]

awesome!! I like how it almost sounds like a calypso version

[yazhenjohnson]

this is pretty friggin unbeliveable. i dont even know wut else to say

[sazerac1]

Bravo! I don't get the science stuff but I liked it a lot.

[D3mag0gu3]

Crouts0, this is genious... The combination of a ukelele and a kazoo... I'm not sure what could top it ^_^

[Finalfantasypianos14]

And a keyboard

[AndryRey]

Crouts0 You are the best !!!

[lockedinhauser]

i am so impressed i dont even know what to do

[crazyfingerz27]

dude this guy has no fuckin life!!!

[Jonsei]

goddamnit this is epic!

"It converts MIDI input into solenoid drive to directly press the keys on one of the manuals " this idea could have been from me.

[00MORDRED]

NO FUCKING WAY....

it's like...Dr.who meets jack ozzbourne.

[dynadude56]

All that work, and the best song you can come up with is "Dueling Banjos"?

I hope the damage to the old pipe organ is reversible.

[crouts0]

read the description dude. "It converts MIDI input into solenoid drive to directly press the keys on one of the manuals - there is no permanent modification to the organ.

[dynadude56]

I guess you didn't notice the mods to the keys. Might want to watch the vid again.

[FireyFly2]

I guess you didn't notice he's the creator of the video. Might want to watch the nickname again.

[HaloSexual]

PWNED!

[abrasivewt]

bad ass

[MasterPieEater]

lol did u build that entire robot controled piano thing??

[marco114]

that thing would be good for a jimmy buffet tune

[krabbers]

this is the best thing ever

[DJkevvykev]

Awesome tune. Mad machine. Crazy ukulele guy.

What's not to like?

Genius.

[WeldBurnz]

AWESOME....If Don Reno ever dropped acid, this vid is what his trip would look like. Stuart, your gazookeylelethingy is the best redneck invention I've seen in awhile and you do the song proud, keep jammin'

[TTB1977]

Had a look at this after 'final countdown'- its even better- and what an amazing piece of machinery the waldflote is. Also looked at dorkbot.noodlefactory link and there are some jolly clever people in Scotland it seems! My hat off to you all!

[Skitlus]

This is awesome.

[DanishMuffin1992]

this video's AMAZING, :)

it kinda sounds like a tropical kind of music halfway through.. must be because of the kazookeylele. :)

One word sums up this vid, AMAZING!

[Gunstar1986]

5 stars

[niggerslap]

man this is amazing, your brillant

[thomas77777]

hahahaha..... brilliant!!!

nice to see a fellow scot doing so well :) keep up the good work....

[emericask822]

from 1:22 and on it sounds like something from a commercial or something on a commercial. advertise!

[herracunt]

You fuckin suck!

[rfocchi]

nice work

[SQUARENOISE]

hooo fucking inceste !!! great

[ParadiseDancers]

This video rocks my socks dude... you're amazing! And give praise to those nerds you speak of who got that thing running... man, I'm still having difficulty wrapping my mind around it!

[shizzbop]

Cool, a new style of music! "Bluegrass Carnival Reggae"!! (The organ really brings it out)

Gives me a craving for cotton candy on a chicken leg.

We need more instruments that use truck batteries to run them. Or wind them up. Or whatever they do. Download me breakfast?

Keep it up man! Good show.

[No1superhoop]

How the fuck did you make a robotic pianoy orgn thingy,

fucking amazing mate, got any more robotic or strange instruments?

Keep it up youve deffinetly go talent. :)

[jayzablade]

dude your awesome!! :oD

[wikedawesome]

You're a genius, aren't you?

[djshey]

this is absolutely brilliant, god knows how you hooked that organ up to work, but its awe inspiring. <3

[99lex99]

[migueloncillo]

[qhzw]

[rb7de]

Another great video man got you got skills for sure

[pokerman1975]

[buttsee]

You win chap. Fantastic. Love how the combination sounds like a 3rd instrument...steel drums. Ace.

[wllcr]

[shirleystratton]

[crazyfingerz27]

WTF???

Does he still live his mom or what

[rishy561]

[duffy7731]

wow! That was AWESOME!

[Roxfox]

This is incredible. It's like a window into another world, where bizarre and wonderful things happen each day and every object carries a mystical magic that creatres the most wonderful harmony.

Apparently that place is called Edinburgh.

Good job, mate.

[Lazyhand]

Outstanding amigo, always a joy to see what yer up to...lol from all @ lazyhand

[rodoublee]

amazing

[MrGameface]

Kid, you're amazing.

[IconOfSin88]

fuck yeah, man! 5/5

[EZBruv]

haha omg! so epic!

[JKsGhost]

Holy crap this is the coolest shit I've seen in a long time. I want to shake your hand.

[turnleftsmashright]

@ 1:46 it all kicks in and makes great sense

[FrankyBabes]

Why hasn't this got as much publicity as the other one? It's equally as awesome!

[dzanaa]

i have to hand it to you, your insane! (positive!) five stars!

[Qbuntu]

Wow! When you think you've seen everything... Extremely cool... in a very strange way.

[cran69]

wicked!

[tomorrowtom]

seriously epic.

[Engato]

wow i was amazed thats such a cool machine lol

and i already liked ur other little thing

the best bit is the little blowy thing u play haHAHAHA

[AlmightyDeided]

You, sir, are a genius? As an organist and a person who is in edinburgh, I should like to see this muchly. I like this lots and lots. I wish to make a nest on your skull and live there for a month or two. also, the kazookeylele is a work of genius. Wish I had a bunch of old instruments and some tools. Oh wait, I do! *works*

[crouts0]

The robotic organ was created by dorkbot alba.

[Adenkaaa]

you are master!

[lothig79]

radge.

[sodiumchloride87]

Once again, freakin' amazing job.

[viktornolsson]

time to tune that thing?

[crouts0]

yeah lol.

[viktornolsson]

must be a fucking pain though. You're not blind are you?

[serfox1]

Because of the nature of both instruments theyre incredibly hard to tune to a perfect key. The pipe organ simply needs cleaned because dust is affecting the sound. The kazookeylele... its made out of a piano :P

[crouts0]

and the organ has tons of dents in most of the pipes.

[Fizland]

Please say you have a recorded version?!

[kennymelodica]

5 stars (actually would of given you 6 stars if it was an option)

you sir - rock.

[hairy0pothead]

You mean "would have" or "would've" not "would of" and 6/6 is equal to 5/5 so it wouldn't make any difference if you did give him 6/6 stars in the hypothetical situation that 6 stars was an option.

Pockets does rock.

He's also a fucking beast.

[kennymelodica]

no i meant 'of' and 6/5 stars

[crouts0]

hahahahaha!!!

[hairy0pothead]

Well if you meant "of" you don't know the English language and 6/5 is impossible. Lol!

[kennymelodica]

Me thinks you mean unpossible

ha ha :)

[hairy0pothead]

XD Lol

[rishy561]

6/5 isn't impossible, if relating to decimal. it would = 1.20/1 which means he's 0.2 better than the best.

[hairy0pothead]

I hate it when dumb people try to act smart. I'm not even going to honor you with a decent argument, you go on believing you're right. Good day.

[crouts0]

hmm... now im very confused.... argh brain freeze!

[rishy561]

aaaaaaaaggh omg your super fricken awesome. You should totally become a super hero.

[2466VM]

minus the fact that theres no one better than the best....

[T3hpwn3r3r89]

you epic scottish bastard i stand in awe of you and most everything u do. you are so fucking cool. haha
