I guess the biggest question is why didn’t many of these instruments survive to our modern day orchestras? They all have such unique sounds.

MANY instrument manufacturing companies went out of Business through the Great Depression. Before that, there were hundreds of piano makers alone. By 1940, there were less than a dozen left really.

These instruments are beautiful!!!! You play beautifully, and to know how to use these vintage instruments is very impressive!¡😊
@Gartenlust7 ай бұрын
Because the music -> symphonies became more demanding and the range and volume of the instruments increased. That's why instruments like the transverse flute were made of metal and with many keys. Since then, the wooden flute with finger holes and of course the recorder are no longer in the orchestra.

What a unique instrument. The double bow was wonderful!
@stevekirkpatrick16128 ай бұрын
I always thought the original tension on the string (from a finger on a fret) made the sound. I never would have thought secondary tension did anything. / I never would have imagined a second bow in a simultaneous pass could create a harmony when run on the same set of strings. I would say it's a game changer, but I can't play any instruments. Maybe for the musicians in the audience it's an eye opener.

Goodness me, what a delightful Yuletide chance discovery you and your posts are. I must tell all my fellow folk music friends about you. The amazing American ingenuity of both inventing and adapting musical instruments for their own particular requirements deserves a book of its own. From simple plantation gourd banjo predecessor to the addition of the 5th drone string to Earl Scruggs, from back street mandolin buskers in Naples to Bill Munro and bluegrass. A whole great story waiting to be told. You are telling it in your own way through actual demonstrations. Bless you and Christmas greetings from Wiltshire in England.

I’ve seen some other instruments in this style, and holy cow, the double bow is SO COOL!!!! Reminds me of the double- or triple-mallet techniques on marimba. I think it really elevates the instrument into a lot more possibilities for application to more particular (as opposed to just recreational) music-making!! Great idea on your part, and great craftsmanship from your friend!!!

I'm not sure how to fix tune or play it. The bridge is loose. It's seems really crazy but we may be related. Great maternal grandmother was a Tibbits from Kansas City Brothers Paul and Laffy Tibbits . We must be related to Captian Tibbits of the Enola Gay fame . His pilot's log book or diary is at the Smithsonian , I think Are you related to this famous Pilot also??
