I love how bluntly you remove all the fucking gatekeeping nonsense from making music and building instruments.

Thanks Nicolas! 🔥 It was so cool to do this project with you 🤘🎶

Wonderful, as always. Also, can't help myself...Slatocaster. :D

Making music out of the actual build process itself is pure genius. That’s why these videos are so great. Just pure creativity.

The best 15 minutes 4 seconds of instrument building I’ve seen on KZfaq . Thank you for sharing your journey.

When you don't care about "tradition" or "convention", a lot of possibilities open up. 😁 Very cool sounds from this thing. Now time to go watch it being played. Thanks for sharing!

Fantastic build and very creative use of recycled/upcycled materials. I build cigar box guitars and try to buy little or no parts. I love the clever use of bicycle spokes for frets!!

I dunno about anyone else, but that instrument is giving me Darren Korb vibes XD especially once you add the paint mixer/milk shaker

Fenders are boring! I like your building style. Gives me the confidence to actually make an instrument myself without spending a lot money on expensive tools and wood.

That's terrific! The kalimba sound is mesmerizing and the drone from the drink mixer works much better than I thought it would. Name? How about Mesmer's Guitar? Thanks Nic, I really enjoyed that.

Beautiful work

Jenga: Guitar Edition. Seriously this thing is incredible! My favorite part is that thing that is automating the tremolo!

I love junkyard luthiery! You give me so many ideas - my latest project is a bass lyre, and now I want to fit that drink-mixer-drone mechanism in somewhere... Thank You!

Movie actor, bassplayer, and now weird instrument builder. There's really no stopping Jason Momoa.

Man, your creativity overflows. I didn't expect much but the instrument sounds amazing and the music you did with it was great too.

Nicolas, c'est magnifique. Bravo. C'est un "melododrône", à mon avis.

The transcendent satisfaction of finding the sweet spots of a new instrument. Thanks for sharing!

It's incredible how well you can play all these instruments you've just created. Do you have to practice a lot before filming those parts of the video? I also like to make my own instruments and I think your channel is super inspiring and interesting.

yeah- fresh sounds. as fresh as it can get from freshly made genius instruments. big up, bro

Waaaah entre les sons sortis de nulle part et le montage vidéo c'était vraiment incoryable ! Bravo bravo bravo

For the milk shaker you should make it pivit and spring loades so you can push it against the strings if you need to and release it quickly again. You can even make it turn of and on depending if it is engaged or not

Une pépite encore une fois ^^ !

man what the hell... This is so mezmerizing. This is undoubtely one of your best works so far, in my book :-)

This might be my favorite so far. I'm a sucker for string instruments.

I came from @Lou Wiss channel, you got a new subscriber, awesome work

Ты очень вдохновляешь мастерить инструменты!!

Excellent format ! Des premières idées à la conception de l'instrument, c'est vraiment passionnant, de pouvoir observer le processus complet de création ! Mais surtout, quelle bonne idée d'avoir inséré ces quelques parties où tu t'essaies à l'instrument... J'ai l'impression de me voir essayant un nouvel instrument ! On se sent happé par ce son nouveau avec lequel on peut faire tant de choses ! Je suis très content de ressentir ça à travers ta vidéo ! En tout cas bravo pour cette création, et bravo aussi pour ton rythme de sortie de vidéo en ce moment, qui sont à chaque fois sources de curiosités ^^

You have built an impressive youtube page. Congratulations. I look forward to seeing/hearing more.

For the name, slatitar perhaps... But also, looking at it, I feel like there is space for a contact mic and extra string, albeit without the fretboard, so more of a mini harp type thing.

Very cool. And inspiring! Thank you!

Mind = Blown 🤯 great execution of an idea!!!! Subbed

bezumniy Nicolas! as always perfect!!!!

Your ideas and execution are second to none. Well done sir.

Totally inspiring! Thanks for another great video!

Fab instrument, You could call it the "Thumbly"

As always, amazing. Thanks for making me feel lucky for getting to witness your creativity.

9:50 This reminds me of haggstorm, one of the tracks in minecraft. Would sound totally magical on that :D

Super cool!

omg in the end it sounds so beuatiful!!

Love that ! 🔥Both of you are so talented 🙌👏👏👏👏

Incredible. Wow. Very creative

Aule zate ize véri goude, ènde iou spike véry ouelle innegliche, congratioulècheunne !

i dont know if anyone else has suggested using sugar maple or really any other light weight hardwood rather than what looked to be a soft wood. at the very least the neck itself should be hardwood to avoid severe warping over time. but im sure u know this and just made it that way for speed and fun, (or maybe it actually is a hard wood that just appears to be construction grade pine?) i always enjoy your videos and am inspired as a fellow 'random shit that make sounds' builder.

That's FANTASTIC!!!

this video was magical dude!! I'm blown away with the sound 😮😮😮

Sounds amazing!

Amazing!

That's sooooo cool. I love it ! You are amazing!

This man is incredible. truly inspirational.

Tu gères mon dieu!!! WAAAU GENIUUS

Some form of Wintergatan's Mable Machine on that instrument would sound sick.

That was epic! Love it!

True innovation and wow awesome !!!! Have tons of ideas

C'est une super idée la machine qui permet de faire du trémolo

Great job !

Thanks for sharing this. It seems that it is at least three instruments in one. For me, one of the sounds is like a Hurdy Gurdy, only much easier to build and simpler to play. The Kalimba on magnetic pick up is amazing, and the sounds combine well to make one person sound like a whole group!

How id love to be in synchronous with madness like you. Fantastic work

Magic!

I have been exploring the idea of building a kalimba into the bridge of a stringed instrument so the tines would act like a coil reverb when the strings are played, and the strings would vibrate sympathetically when the times are played. I am experimenting with using an aluminum neutral bonding bar from an electrical service panel as the bridge.

Enoooorme, t es un génie, vent, corde, percu.... de la création d instruments, au jeu en passant par le mixage, et en plus tu es pédagogue . J adore

Very good !!!! the name of this instrument : The Indian ranch

FANTASTIC Nicolas!

It's so good , And that guitar very beautiful . You're best player with guitar 👏👏💓

Mind blowing!!!!!

Celui là il est assez bluffant Bravo ! Je m'en vais écouter l'utilisation quand a fait Lou

Sounds great I want one now .

really nice sound! 😍

That was pretty damn cool!

the "ding ding pow wow"

Diying a pickup is the logical next step, cheaper than robbing gibsons, and easy to do! Buzz is from neck angle. You might look into reinforcement, or a compensating rod. All-thread (threaded rod) would likely work fine. This is why pre 60's guitars are such a pain to fix up. Your 3-string might could use some saddle compensation, should be easy to bend the aluminum to get better intonation. (careful, intonation is a deep rabbit hole for builders!) Your allthread nuts are cool, but bone is cheap and you can eliminate another source of possible buzz. Nice mechanincal ebow, we used to call them hurdy gurdys when they still had a crank. Later on we used "adult novelty toys" for the same purpose. Where on the string you hit it will induce different harmonics. Playing along frets can be interesting too. Now that all your buzz troubles are gone, consider adding a sitar / asian zither style buzzing bridge mechanism to add it back. ;-)

Bravo!

Mec c'est incroyable. Ton taff est monstrueux. Tu es tellement doué pour la musique, la construction mais aussi la vidéo. Et tu sors des projets tellement souvent. Je me demande quand tu dors ?! Merci de nous partager ton excellent taf love

Es maravilloso!

Excellent,..You have great videos...!!!

The drone was dope dude

Eres increíble! Gracias por compartir tus experiencias. Saludos desde Montevideo, Uruguay

What a great Instrument, I really Love it :)

C'est génial !

cool idea, and it works!

I like how it looks absolutely crazy but sounds very nice.

this thing is amazing

It looks like it's made of fence posts and you gave it to a friend. You ought to name it "good neighbor." Because good fences make good neighbors.

Great job. Fantastic your channel

Super cool

Genio!

Badass!

from the thumbnail it looked like a weapon

Milk foamers are fantastic musical playthings. I love your milk foamer hurdy-gurdy attachment

A new video! One of my favorite creators! P.s. I ended up making my own PVC shakuhachi, and I discovered some cool things to make it sound better, id love to share my plans with you and see what you come up with!

This is fucking awesome

Very cool instrument!

Symphonic Axe. I think this thing would be awesome with a more traditional resonant body.

What a genius! Quel génie!

Brilliant 👏 👏 😎🎙🎸✅

It may just be me.. but I noticed that when you were playing darker music, the instrument was playing well, but whenever you played something bluesy, there was a sort of mechanical interfere, the sound was buzzy, and off. The soul of this instrument is definitely a dark soul. A beautiful dark soul.

whoa j'crois que c'est la plus grosse dinguerie que tu nous as faites, je suis fan de cet instrument

When u played it with the elec mixer it made it sound like Indian or something like that ad I find it to b quite relaxing

amazing invention, keep up creating great instruments

J'adore

Hooooo kalimba magnifique
