Totoro theme.....played on my HANDS!

My first Youtube video ever. Audio-video sync might be off.
"Handflute" is a kind of musical instrument played on the hands. The hands are placed together as if praying. After making a space inside the gripped hands, one blows into the gap between the two thumbs. It is similar to making a tone by blowing over the top of an open bottle. At first, only a simple piping sound can be produced with this technique. However, by increasing or decreasing the size of the space inside the hands, the tone can be controlled. Gradually, with a lot of practice, it becomes possible to produce melodies. Mastering this technique takes a lot of skill and practice, so very few people have this rare talent."

So yea, enjoy. And don't forget to comment, rate, subscribe, and share! Once I get better at the handflute I'll do more songs.

I would like to see you play this tune without the accompaniment to hear your actual sound. Could you put that video up. It would be most interesting.
