TIME TO JIZZ

And the simplicity of the design means every hipster on Earth is going to buy one and bother people at parties.

Yeah the knitted masks really were the icing on this goofy cake lmao

​@@AyyyGabagoolslapping my knee while circle jerkin on my jazz vibes

@@AyyyGabagool Time to GLIZZ actually

now we have the Automatone :)

@@_Geist Finally... The Manualmatone

i use it as the ringtone on my obamaphone.

​@@matturner6890I've got this feeling So appealing For us to get together and sing (sing!)

That’s so level 10 stuff right there

I wonder if it's an oblique shout out to jaco pastorius

@@YumaUesaka if it is, why not play the gliss at the end of the A section?

missed opportunity

Wait until you hear about the trombone

Unironically exactly correct

😅

I look forward to one thousand renditions of sucking air menacingly through glissotar at my local noise show.

can't wait for kenny g to pick one up

honestly really excited to hear how it's going to be used. microtonal free jazz going to be about twice as easy to make with this too

She'll love the 'one finger play'.

Who are you and why are you in my bed?

There are a _lot_ of new instruments made each year. Do you.... Not use the internet?

It’s not new, this design is a century old.

@@OskarCzechowicz-OmniMusician oh well

@@OskarCzechowicz-OmniMusician it's not, the other ones had a completely different mechanism

​@@chloejackson-reynolds444 absolutely not, the same exact mechanism was already invented in the 1920s

Okay this is cool. I will as a bard l conjure elemental cats with this.

its conical bore, instead of cylindrical (the tube gets wider throughout it's entire length, instead staying the same width all the way until the bell, like a clarinet) making it more like a fretless (soprano) saxophone

@hetza7198 ^*I, not i ^*I, not a ^This instrument is definitely not limitless🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Would you like to try again?

@@spanqueluv9er what the fuck?

This is very limited and something no one will ever need or wide use. Gimmick fad device.

Clariphone... Saxonet?

yoo I came here with the same expectation

I too bear an "sz" in the old family name.

As expensive as the 3D printed versions of this instrument are… it should’ve been an obscure meme video

Rejoice!!! 🥂🎉🍻

honestly those aren't unreasonable prices for a brand new design

I’m just posting the data. No judgements!

it's cheaper than i thought lol.

I think the price is high, considering there is no keywork or special hole placement. We just need the Chinese to make some clones for a few hundred dollars.

@@PracticaProphetica 我正在做！

I think it’s pretty sleek honestly

@@parkerstroh6586 it can be both, and it is

How is it any goofier looking or sounding than every other oboe or clarinet that already exists….?

They use a magnet to make it snap

Thank you! We have a 20% Leonardo's Birthday sale for Glissotar Purpleheart until 31 May! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd77oxflGGwuNWlF72sLnThdPrtyQqjbYdD-06mWFt7YlUR-g/viewform

It’s not really, it’s just a slide saxophone, and the design for the 3D print was posted to thingiverse a decade ago. The idea is cool, which is why it’s been around for a while; this iteration is just startup trash, sadly.

The gliss!

That's what I was thinking!

And it can do the laser Pew Pews too!

I can't afford it, but it's a very normal price for people who have to make a living selling very small batches. Same everywhere, for example recumbent bikes.

How many hours do you think you'd have to spend to make your own though...

​@@chickenbobby666I'm in the process of creating a similar instrument (with a double reed rather than a sax mouthpiece). I'm making it out of wood, and I'm about 15 hours into it. (10 hours of modeling, 2 hours of material recovery, 3 hours of turning). And I'm almost done. If we consider the French hourly minimum wage (lowest legal salary), that’s €140. The materials didn't cost me anything but if I had to buy them it would cost me around a hundred euros at most. Considering that I have 10 hours of work left (in reality much less), it would cost a total of €390. We put in the margin, and that’s €500, then taxes (20% in France): €600. There is no industrial process, it is wood, made by hand. I imagine they use very different techniques but $1900 is just excessive. (and @Johnanderson9337 I could share the digital model if you want. (when it's finished))

If you don't mind plastic, there will eventually be designs on Thingiverse, and by eventually I mean there's been a prototype design posted for nearly a decade.

​@@chickenbobby666considering you can hit print, then come back 12 hours later to get a finished part, not long at all. the printer is the one taking the time burden

Let us know how it goes please 🙏🏻

Make me a bass one, pleeeeeeease!

Only a few of us know that abbreviation - Ali Akbar College of Music in Fairfax, CA... But I totally agree.

@@thesoundsmith Association for the Advancement of Creative Music, from Chicago

Yes!

About the same as one composed of sax players. Sax players don't get to join the orchestra.

Neither do piranha plants from yoshi's island (that's what it sounds like)

​​@@NuncNuncNuncNuncyes they do. There's quite a lot of classical music written for sax, as well as orchestra with sax. There's even quartets with a sax Though almost all written before the mid twentieth century..

If it wasn’t 1800 euro for the 3D print. Luckily, this has existed for a while; there’s a free design on thingiverse for it that’s over a decade old.

Yep! The comments on it were, that it was more a novelty instrument, and wasn't build to have a great lifespan, so few of them lasted to this day. The concept and mechanism looks absolutely identical though.

Looks like it to me.

My exact thought too.

Yup. My dad built several versions of a slide saxophone, one which was exactly like this, and another that had a piece of metal sliding over the hole instead.

YEARS OF DEVELOPMENT

Hey buddy...a scale with 100 tones is great. A scale with 12 tones is better.

We are glad you like it!

Thanks!

I thought it was an April Fools video. If the Royal Philharmonic orchestra start using these, then I'll take the instrument seriously.

Just adding for anyone else that is curious, the book is Musical Instrument Design, and yeah, he goes through a few ways to make them, including one like this, one with a bent strip of wood and some weatherstripping, and one with a steel tube and flexible magnetic tape. Definitely nice to see a fancy option though.
