30. Silent Unboxing: Guitar Strings - SOUNDsculptures (ASMR)

[sagagaboo]

I would called that package every thing but a white box by 2:40

[awsomemct]

I personally dislike Martin strings as they rust fairly quickly, therefore I would recommend that you give Elixir strings a go. You'll never use a different set ever again.

[SOUNDsculptures]

@awsomemct Yes you're right, they do rust quickly, it's such a shame. But tonally they are exquisite, so that's the price you pay I guess. I have tried Elixir, a few times, but found them lacking.

[malslimbo]

That is a totally awesome scalpel! Where did you get it? D:

[Themightofpenguins]

looking at your nails it looks like you play fingerstyle

do you?

[rage1331]

It would be really cool if you made a video of restringing a guitar!

[StanleyIRichards]

I have to wonder: have you ever cut yourself with that knife before?

[SOUNDsculptures]

@StanleyIRichards Thankfully, no!

[Darkfatez117]

@SOUNDsculptures DId it have the "New" Factory smell?

[Darkfatez117]

@Darkfatez117 What kinda camera you using btw?



[SOUNDsculptures]

@Darkfatez117 The strings?! Hmm, probably!

[irkofan]

I have a Martin acoustic. I noticed that your strings were by the same company, and couldn't help my curiosity--what sort of guitar do you play?

[pennywise2k6]

These binural sounds really do help me to get to sleep if Im ever struggling to drift off, I just put my headphones on, close my eyes and then I fall asleep fairly easy.

I dont know if anyone else does this, but it works for me.

And thank you I now have several more sounds to sleep to thanks to you XD

[frankchaka]

your videos are awsome dude still making your job!!!!!

=D

[FTAHindependent]

Make porn!!!!

[aaronred345]

That is a lot of tape!

[StrawberryJungle]

Now I would love to see an ASMR video of you restringing your guitar. Pretty please? :)

[mpattison10]

subscribed!

[sacredheartrelax]

this is my favorite video! im not sure how you could do it, but one of my favorite triggers is watching people take long tests in class and crossing out answers and highlighting and then bubbling in that dreaded scantron! just an idea :)

[stubsdazomby]

Hey, I can't help but wonder if you play fingerstyle acoustic? The only reason I ask is because I notice the nails on your right are nice and shaped, and the nails on your left are clipped short.

[Anthemic24]

This is my favorite video by you. I love how gentle you are with everything. I can't seem to find other good silent unboxing videos. Keep them coming! <3

[SOUNDsculptures]

@Anthemic24 Thank you very much, I'm glad you like these. :0) By the way, you might like to look in my playlists on the main channel of favourite videos; there are a fair few videos in 'Special Sounds' (120 so far) and many are unboxings.

[LaPrincesaDeDios15]

hey i see you always use that knife i like it do you know here i can get it?

[SOUNDsculptures]

@LaPrincesaDeDios15 It's a Swann-Morton craft knife. You can buy the handle and different blades separately.

[nikolay1502]

its like they didnt want you to open this...damn republicans

[leopardface1]

Its really relaxing anyhow, the fact that the box was hard to open made it more relaxing! Even though I'm 17, my Mom won't let me near a knife because I had an unpleasant experience when I was younger.

[eman7254]

That seemed like the most difficult box to open ever

[leopardface1]

@eman7254 1:29 21 years later....

[parkerbob99]

I love elixir's for my electric and martins for my acoustic. 11 gauges for electric, and nines for acoustic :)

[TastyGenitals]

I have a feeling you like online shopping quite a bit yeah? Aha great vid as always!!

[nintendomaniac64]

A more technical question... since audio is very important in these videos, I was wondering if you recorded, edited, and uploaded using lossless codecs as much as possible (i.e. PCM, FLAC).

[k1ll3rtr0n]

Next time we want to see you play :D

[SuperGamer87]

Thank you, anonymous young female guitarist who loves ASMR videos! <3<3<3<3<3<3! Oh, gosh, why do I have a crush on a pair of hands?!

[kiwiwhispers]

Was going to ask if you needed a hand with that box. You seemed to have it under control.

[ToDaaFACE]

Breakin out the exacto knife, that box is a fighter

[WhisperDoor]

Lovely Soundsculptures--from the opening struggle with the cardboard box to the unspooling of the strings, to their re-insertion into the paper envelopes. Lots of paper-on-paper friction and with high sound quality, as usual. Thank you.

[Jajvonvidz]

Haha i could tell you were getting frustrated with opening the box.

[SOUNDsculptures]

@ImTellingMyStory Hi! Yes, I've tried virtually every string out there. I wouldn't usually get extra lights but this is for a short scale instrument. It's usually either Martins or D'Addarios for me. I tried Ernie Balls on electric before, super slinky's, but didn't like them as much as D'Addario.

[icymallard]

oo extra light, careful with those fragile babies lol

[abci23billionmillion]

Ooh what kind of guitar do you have?

[PONYRicky]

Brava! This is a very beutiful video... But Sound, How are you? =)

[Austindwilson07]

Do you know how to work on the insides of computers? (ie; building them, removing/ installing RAM, CPU, Video Card, etc.?)

If so, you could do a great video on that! Just don't mention my name in the video description please :P

[RaZZcaL1]

Once again excellent! Your videos really do keep me chilled many thanks keep it up :)

[TumblingPenguin]

Yep, I can hear it now. I just need to stop messing with my speakers, haha... There was less sensation without the sound but it was definitely still there. At times I could "hear" the sounds, even though there was no sound. My imagination/expectation was filling in and causing the sensations on its own.

[whisperingviking]

Thank you for the video SoundSculptures! That box sure put up a fight..!

And thank you very much for the mention in the description! I really need to put up a few more videos soon. Just a few weeks now and school is over. Then I have some spare time again. =)

[SOUNDsculptures]

@whisperingviking You're very welcome, and can't wait til your next upload. Fantastic and soothing whispering voice you have, one of my faves.

[TumblingPenguin]

As an interesting aside, though, I did have some ASMR triggers when watching without sound... was very interesting.

[Will24Edin]

A swan Morton scalpel? Classy unboxing :p

[TumblingPenguin]

It's the funniest thing... The other day I was having audio problems with my comp and the video I was trying to watch was your other one titled "Silent..." I didn't know I was having problems - thought the video was just silent. Later I realized I had problems and fixed them. Today I viewed this one and had the same audio problem again, haha... so forgetting the other day, I saw "Silent..." again and thought these were silent on purpose, lol... I feel so silly. XD

[SOUNDsculptures]

@TumblingPenguin Hehe, that's funny... and yes, technically it's not 'silent', but I think it's become the norm to call these silent just because no talking and no music. Interesting that you got some asmr without the sound. Can you hear it now? Did you get more sensation without sound altogether?

[SOUNDsculptures]

@TumblingPenguin What do you mean? You can't hear this? It's working this end.

[staygreen110108]

I wanna listen you play guitar.

[KnightSaziel]

Dang level 250 4.5 million HP guitar strings packages. They just don't want to give up their contents.

[ThePowerNicolas]

This video relaxes me.Congratulation.Make more videos.

[pirowen]

Is that a freakin scalpel ur using in this awesome video?! :D

[SOUNDsculptures]

@pirowen Lol! No, it's a craft knife, and thanks :0)

[dingocolonel]

It's a pity you don't have a piano. Maybe the video would have been even longer then with your unpacking 100+ strings :)

[ThePurcy]

ah guitar strings the many a times ive slashed my fingers up fiddling with them ..blasted things.

[rob062388]

Great video as always. Also, thanks for reminding me I need to buy new strings for both of my guitars. :P

[SOUNDsculptures]

@rob062388 Thanks very much!

[thegoodgeneral]

SOUNDsculptures, does someone drawing on your arms trigger your ASMR?

[SOUNDsculptures]

@thegoodgeneral You offering? ;) Hmm, no I don't think so. Nice feeling but not ASMR for me.

[metalsonic3333]

@SOUNDsculptures what about drawing on your back? that's like.. the ultimate ASMR trigger for me :o

[toedtmop]

FIRST!!! -_-
