shakuhachi and bamboo

[gggggianni]

Ciao Federico, questo che allego è il primo videoclip del mio nuovo cd Ab Origine, suonato con didgeridoo ed uno dei toui shakuhachi! A presto, Gianni.

[Janotheknight]

If you enjoy the sort of one-note rhythmic style of the didgeridoo you might like the Overtone flute too. Type it in.

[febi51]

Thanks.

I build and play the kalyuka

[pollywarrior]

Do I hear a didjeridu in the background (bamboo one?) or is it some ohter drone-based harmonic wind instrument I've never heard of?

[febi51]

No, it's just a didjeridoo.

It is a sturdy cylindrical tube of larch turned by a craftsman.

It has a power superior sound to the sound of bamboo.

[pollywarrior]

Well, I like your music. I play didjeridu myself, made out of termite hollowed eucalyptus branches from Australia with bees wax mouth pieces.

[pollywarrior]

BTW the reason I asked if this was bamboo was because the shakuhachi is made from bamboo and I thought there might have been a relation. Also, I've been wondering of recent if there were any other didjeridu-like instruments in the word, harmonic drone pipe things. I wondered if such existed in places that had abundant bamboo and if not why it never occured to anybody to play a tube in this manner.

[febi51]

The didjeridoo made from a bamboo cane has already been built by many people.

I have built too didjeridoos using bamboo canes.

Didjeridoo I built using tubular steel or fiberglass or gypsum alabaster and many types of wood.

Didieridoo hole square, octagonal, conical, cylindrical ....

But I made this song a long time to do the ideo on shakuhachi

(I beg your pardon, but what does "BTW"?)

[pollywarrior]

BTW is abbreviation for "by the way".

I've played didjeridus made from bamboo cane, I've also played card tubes and plastic pipes like didjeridus, metal scaffolding pipes too. Any tube that can fit the vibrating lips can be played in the manner of didjeridu. I was interested if there were any other cultures other than the Aboriginal Australians who had a harmonic drone pipe as one of their indiginous or traditional instruments.

[pollywarrior]

At first, not having heard the shakuhachi before, thought that it might have been a shakuachi I was hearing and that it was a very similar instrument to didjeridu and sounded virually the same. But I looked it up on Wikipedia and heard it on You Tube and realized that it sounded quite different - but then flutes are played different to didjeridus, and flutes and didjeridus belong to different categories of the wind instruments...

[pollywarrior]

...I have read didjeridu is a type of very ancient and primative trumpet. Other trumpets have different mouth pieces, I think, but they might have something to do with lip vibration all the same. I think Alpine and Tibetan horns have sound somewhat similar to didjeridu.

[febi51]

The Alpine horn and trumpet Tibetan, not working on overtones as the didjeridoo.

They utilize the overtones to produce different notes, while the didjeridoo produces a single note full of stamps.

[pollywarrior]

Does the note on the trumpet get altered using the back of the throat, opening and closing the throat, and movement of the tongue? Trumpets are very ancient, one I'm interested in is carnyx the ancient war trumpet used by Celtic peoples.

[febi51]

Yes, with the trumpet, using the throat and the tongue slightly modifies the timbre of the note.

But more than a stamp, you change the note.

[pollywarrior]

Thanks for explaining. :)

[febi51]

thanks. Many thanks.

[RockerMS]

Hi? can you tell me what is the name of the music please?I like that? thank you

[febi51]

This music is a piece of my invention

[Keither555]

Thank you for this!

[febi51]

thank to you...

[Raveman]

Ciao, hai fatto dei lavori molto belli, e vista la tua ricerca di sonorità sicuramente avranno anche un ottima intonazione :) Pensavo a un certo punto che introducessi un piccolo vademecum sulla costruzione, invece no :P Ho cercato in rete ma sfortunatamente non ho trovato nessun link che introducesse alla realizzazione di questo strumento in bamboo, sai mica dove posso indirizzarmi? Ho guardato sul link che segnali ma vende e basta. Grazie mille!

[febi51]

Grazie per l'apprezzamento.

Devo dire che io ho imparato la costruzione attraverso ciò che ho potuto racimolare dal web.

[ZellDenver]

Ciao, io sono curioso di vedere le origini della musica utilizzata. Mi trovai in un daze con questo video in repeat. E 'la sensazione strana.

Inoltre, il mio italiano non è poi così grande...

[febi51]

thanks for trying to write in Italian.

But I do not understand what is the "daze" ...

And I do not understand what I can do for you.

excuse me.

Can you be more clear? (in English, thank you. Then I translate)

thanks

[ZellDenver]

Sorry, I meant the music is really hypnotic, in a relaxing way. I rarely find time to relax, so thanks.

The video was really good.

[febi51]

I am happy for you to be relaxed.

Thanks again.

But, scuse me, I wish I could understand one thing:

Can you explain in what context you have heard and seen my videos?

thanks

[ZellDenver]

The music in the video, drums, woodwind etc. it's very good.

[febi51]

Ah.

Ok. Thank you

Now I think I understood.

[ZellDenver]

You're welcome

[tekilamarco]

Scusami vorrei comprarne uno da te

se non ti dispiace potresti dirmi dove ti trovi.

non ci provo neanche sono negato per qusto tipo di lavori.

grazie lo stesso per il video sei un grande

[chickenmcthug]

Please excuse me for not speaking Spanish. I hope you speak English. At which point in this video is there a Shakuhachi? All I hear is an Austrailian Digerydoo.

[febi51]

the instruments are depicted shakuhachi.

The soundtrack is made with a didgeridoo

regard

[chickenmcthug]

Thank you!

[OrkestraPunk]

hola soy catalan!

me preguntaba si tambien vendes shakuhachi y si lo haces a que precio!

gracias

[SANdIDg]

Hola me gustó mucho el video, está muy bueno. Sabes que tienen por dentro los Shakuhachi?

[febi51]

El interior del shakuhachi es rvestito con "urushi" (laca japonesa).

Yo, sin embargo, utiliza productos sintéticos.

Hola

[saintjoust]

Grazie per le spiegazioni. Il bambù e veramente straordinario. Ero curioso perché proprio in questi giorni ne ho tagliato una marea. Devo fare un recinto per le pecore e anche per questa destinazione certamente meno nobile della tua, questa pianta si dimostra straordinariamente utile e generosa. Grazie

[febi51]

Beh...

Saranno contente anche le pecore...

[saintjoust]

Molto interessante :peccato che ai profani 2.1 - 2.3 etc non dicano assolutamente niente!

[febi51]

L'ho fatto di proposito.

Speravo tanto in una domanda così. Grazie.

Le misure giapponesi (per i flauti almeno), sono lo "shaku"(30,3 cm) e il "sun"(3,03cm)

"Ichi shaku hachi sun" vuol dire "uno shaku e otto sun" (1,8 shaku), cioè 54,5 cm. Il nome del flauto deriva dalla parte centrale della sua misura "ichi SHAKUHACHI sun". grazie ancora per la curiosità...
