  • I saw a guy in Cambridge Massachusetts outside of Harvard square, a man playing an instrument similar to this instrument, only i think it was the traditional variant. this looks like a shamisen mixed with that. very rare. great for street performing.

  • @pooferbug I've seen hurdygurdy players in harvard square too. this guy is amazing, a hurdy shamisen.. -gurdysen? lol. awesome anyway. I want one.

  • この曲好きです

    原曲はジョージのシタールかな?

  • すごい。。

  • すごい

  • コメント有難うございます。

    これは回転する円盤が弦をこすって音を出す胡弓のような楽器とい­う意味で命名した回擦胡(かいさつこ)という2弦のエレキ楽器で­す。

    詳しくは僕のHPをご覧頂くか、"回擦胡"でGoogle検索か­けてみてください。

    なお、持続させるだけでなくハンドル操作によりスタッカートやト­レモロ奏法も可能です(3:10-参照)

  • なお、僕のyoutube channel内のplaylistに回擦胡特集があります。曲­により奏法や音色を変え、また独奏だったりバンドだったり色々や­ってます。他の曲もご覧頂ければ幸いです。

  • @TorigoyaSound "However, in my youtube channel special playlist Hu has time for friction. By playing different songs and tone, I do a lot or even or even solo and band. Hope you find the other songs."

  • @TorigoyaSound "Thank you for the comment. It was once named Hu bowed instrument in the sense that sound like a fiddle. The string rubs the rotating disk. The 'Atsuko you' is a two-string electric instrument. For more information, visit my HP or receive, "Hu bowed once," Please put a Google search. The tremolo and staccato playing is possible not only to sustain the steering (3:10 - reference)

  • なんかすごい。ありがとうございます。どうやって作ったんでしょ­うね?

  • ずっとまわしてるなら

    自動にすればよいのではないでしょうか?

    そのほうが両手が使えて表現の幅が広がるのでは?

  • 美しい音です。中国ムード。

    いわば発明でもありますね。すごい!

  • 「回擦胡」という名前から推測すると、発音原理はバイオリンと同­じ。回転する円盤がバイオリンの弓の代わりになって弦を擦ること­で音が出る。

    調べてみると演奏者さん自作の楽器のようですね

  • 電気を使わない 手動エレキギターみたいなもの??

  • 回してるのは ビブラートみたいなため?

    裏でなってる音のため?

  • you gotta admire this mans hair

  • 感動しました!ありがとうございます。

  • Hi Curtis.

    I also like your work.

    I hope we perform together someday. :-D

  • Where did this instrument originate?

  • Your instrument and fine playing really suit the tune.

  • Very fucking cool..George would love this!

  • This is very interesting. Almost like bagpipe in Asia meets... I don't even know what. Still, bravatavo!

  • Too coooooooooool

  • This is great stuff!!! What a cool instrument! Sounds a litlle like a violin but different. Absolutley blew me away.

    Good job!!!

    5*****!

  • I find this absolutely amazing. The sound with the drone strings. To hear it is one thing, but to see it being performed is surreal. Very interesting instrument. Man, when you crank that thing up. Wow! Thanks for sharing. Domo Arigato

  • That's amazing, enjoyed it much. I've never seen or heard that instrument before.

  • Amazing instrument,wow!

  • Shit! Wow!

  • a testamant to your your love of great music to cover this.

    The way you do it adds something to an allready unsurpassable track.

    fantastic!

  • never mind anything, check that shit out! Amazing. Thanks for posting.

  • skinnerprincipal technically , it is the Scots , or the Scottish . scotch is whisky .

  • when that wooden thingy with a crank attached to it started to make this amazing sound... well, that was a definitive fuck me moment. really cool. 6 stars.

  • Just. Wow. Very representative of the sounds I would have expected to associate with the ancient Orient. Much like the bagpipe represents the Scotch, this Kaisatsuko represents (to me) the soul of Asia.

  • Not sure why'd you say that...but you're looking for a fight where none exists. If you're so prickly with prejudices that you're constantly looking for a fight, you're going to have a miserable life.

    My comment was a compliment to the musician. Not to start a fight with some anonymous oddball who's got a chip on their shoulder.

    Go bother someone else, and get help. It reads like you might need some.

  • I can find alot of information about this cool instrument, but not about where to buy it!...

  • it is not "to buy" you must make it by your own.. you know? with your hands!

  • OMG, I'm blown away....

  • Leave it to the Japanese to invent a Chinese er-hu that sounds like a hurdy-gurdy/dilruba

    Great work!

  • Wow Yuichi, you have achieved a true dilruba sound. I like your music and your instruments.

  • you build them theres instructions on the web

  • nice

  • crazy japanese... ;) Nice to see how the hurdy gurdy could have turned out to be, although the sound is a bit creepy...

  • nice, original, using mechanical devices tomake the strings vibrate, with a constantmotion.

  • Wow, what a cool instrument! And an excellent performance!

  • what did you make the strings with?

  • !!!!! amazing!
