@fuckhalwalker clearly a jealous troll who can't play any instrument. Does it somehow bring you happiness to write such trash on someone else's videos? His musical talent is astonishing. His music makes people happy. What have YOU done for the world lately? It might help if you could spell or write....perhaps some remedial English courses? As for the 'hand motions'..there are holes on the side of the instrument which one covers and uncovers in order to get the different notes. Duh.
@ElizabethGS - thanks for your support-- every once in a while one of these strange comments comes along, but this guy who actually created a username about me takes the cake. Fortunately, I don't take it personally. :) H
@banakula just saw your response today. sorry for the delay ;) I'm quite looking forward to getting to hear you in person at the GSHC, and hope you intend to bring along the Khaen? While the harmonica Conventions are mostly 'all harmonica, all of the time', the GSH Festival in particular brings so many more instruments into the mix, including guitars, keyboards, etc. Just got a new Suzuki Melodion and want to try that out as well, never having played one before. I think the Khaen will open ears.
Hello banakula you are very talented..and similar to me. I also try playing many instruments...Indian flute from new mexico, the penny flute and diatonic harmonia...and some guitar...firt time for me on this instrumet...is it difficult to play?
banacula thanks for the reply. I found on ebay a khaen seller . in your opinion do you think is a good musical instrument? the link is :
//cgi.ebay.com/1-Khaen-Flute-Harmonica-Thai-Isan-Musical-Instrument-/320573692452?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0 i think temperament is more important that the quality of workmanship
luciop1987.... thanks for your comment. Unfortunately, It is very difficult to purchase a good quality khaen. I travelled to a remote village in NE Thailand to buy mine. The Ohio winter is tough on the instruments, so I will have to return to Thailand someday. However, you can buy one online and, at least, get to play one. Maybe you'll get lucky and get a good one in the mail. good luck. Hal
@superagnitio... thanks. I would suggest learning one at a time. Right now, I am learning the chromatic harmonica.... I play it constantly. I go through phases like this and, over time, have gotten good at many instruments. Also, keep it simple. learn to make a beautiful tone before trying to play lots of notes. have fun. hal
real nice..i play khaen 30+ yrz. american living in thailand.. made a cd in australia.and one in sweden. next time you come to thailand perhaps we can have a coffee ....i play and make many instruments have a look .......also claymanz band of gypseys in myspace you can hear my australia band and my earlier compositions...best wishes
well im from ann arbor area michigan, i know well those winters....and how the cold is badd for the khaen. the reeds are ok mostly ,its the black stuff (keesoot ) which gets brittle and cracks sometimes.dont blow warm air breath into a cold khaen after transporting from your car...let the khaen adjust to the warmth inside the room first. best wishes hal.......coffee is always hot here...
it's very difficult to get a good quality one. I got mine in NE Thailand. The one that I bought online was no good. You have to go directly to the maker. sorry. good luck. Hal
Hey, you came to my school today Mohawk High School and I want you to know I have been working on the ancient echo clap and the whistle. I am improving. This and the Jew's Harp were my favorite.

How does it work ??
I like this shape and looking and this synth-sound. It is self-build ? Where can I by this sheng ?
Please: can you make a close-up video where I can see all the holes or the mouthpiece?
Amazing sound! Cool.....
