You're so talented. I love your videos and music. Thank you for educating and entertaining us! Is there any place streaming or selling the Tiger Tiger soundtrack?

Wow! Just, wow! An absolutely beast of a sound!

Hugh Tracey did a great job of preserving this traditional music. He however is not the one who created the Kalimba. He created his own version of the Kalimba. The Kalimba, like the Mbira, is a very ancient instrument occurring in many different variations all across Africa.

I'm coming back to this video regulary, the guy have such talent!

How easy is it to retune the tanpura and swarmandel to a new key? Is it something you could do during a piece of music assuming you had a rest section to do it or is that way too complicated?

What do you mean with „tuning them correctly“, sure that you don’t mean western tunings/ temperaments?!

Very cool. Thanks

@markkilianschannel from where did you buy your Berimbau?

One of my favourite jazz musicians of all time! I loved his duets with Sipho Gumede

I played at the Africa nights festival ( the SA State theatre ) in 2000 with Pops on Kora, Vusi Mahlasela on Guitar and myself on a 22 key Mbira and Vocals , What a night we had.

The berimbau has more than 2 tones. You produce an open and an a closed tone with the gourd and the coin 4 tones, the coin pressed lightly on the string making a buzzing tone plus the wah wah tone of the gourd.

I ve used HD650 for years. They are practically indestructible in normal usage. They give a sense of presence on professional gear... but darkish;)

Great video

Hi Mark, great interesting video, I recently got the 660 s for £259, as the s2 been out fir few months , I tend to use 660 straight onto the ifi zen dad v2 using the balanced 4.4mm pentergon lead with the true bass button selected and does come alive at the lowe frequency end. However if have the 6XX also but now fitted with custom cabs mod which also help with the lower bass end. I know that 6XX and 650 not quite the same but the custom cans mod can also be fitted to 650 too. Regards Mark

Very possibly the best video on marimba ever!

Awesome video. My grandparents in Monterrey talked about Platon Garza, who was said to be first person to use a bajo sexto in Santiago, Nuevo Leon around late 1800's-early 1900s. Of course the first to record music with a bajo sexto was Tomas Ortiz from Los Alegres De Teran. Another note, If you look up Los Hermanos Cardenas, they played lots of Mazurkas and Polkas from that era.

if i already own the 58x and 560s, are the 650's worth it in 2023 i wonder?

Awesome video, on spot thank you

I'm pretty rough on headphones, but the only thing I've replaced on my 11 years old HD600's are the headband and earpads. Other phones I've owned hardly last a couple of years. BTW the 600 is a better reference phone than the 650!

Well done. Thank you.

I saw your name on Eraser: Reborn and man I salute your work🔥🔥🔥🔥

Excuse me, sir I’d like to regretfully inform you that I am this videos 421th view. I do hope you forgive me, but otherwise good video. I’m working on a project of making my own out of wood. I think it’s a really fascinating sound.

nice! I play the sitar and happened upon this video searching for some set-up tips for an acquaintance who acquired an esraj from the late 1800s. I have a theory off the top of my head that the peacock story *may* be sort of like a christmas tree-type syncretic effort to incorporate symbolism associated with Saraswati into the Sikh holy music tradition. Either way, it's a beautiful story. thanks for the vid! I'll check out your channel!

Here in Uruguay we have the Charrúa mouth bow. There are two tipes the big (percution one) and the little one (frotation one).I played bouth and another afroindigenos one wich have "mate" but I forget the name at this moment. I will make a video.

This video was very good and you speak español very good! You should make a video about new corridos I think it is called Mexican regional, it uses a 12 string guitar but instead of octives it uses paired strings! A good example of this is a song called “Gente Corriente - Pepe’s office”🤝👏

Really informative video & I loved the song you played on 13:05.

what a great video!

Now i did compared a regular 12 string Guitar VS Bajo Quinto. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g8uGmpmLz8feqH0.html

Pops Mohamed is awesome and well done on a great interview Mark. Loved it.

Brilliant. He is a living treasure of knowledge about bow music!

Excellent Video really Enjoyed myself

Happy birthday Laura… in our thoughts always

Мастерит через карту ноутбука потому что ленивый? Хорошо что есть студия чтобы подправить. Иначе этот мастер бы на мастерил...🙃

Try me again after you've tuned your instruments.

You are a genius!! Thank you for the harmonium and Shrutibox posts, by the way!

Waiting for your movie with mohanlal sir barroz hope you gives your Life time music for the movie waiting 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I bought my Daily's HD650 on Release Day in 2004. As First adopters they came exclusively in an Walnut Wood Crate and an Grey Fabric Bow around. There was a Card sticked on with "Welcome to the Sennheiser Family" . Exactly now typing i have them on my Ears. These Headphones are my Soulmates in Music. They were going dameged over the Years, Cable, Headband, Shell, Cussions.. a few Clicks at Sennheiser-de and OEM-Spareparts were ordered cheaper and faster than every shady eBay Seller ever did.

This instrument is perfect for Oberkrainer Music w/ Turbosounds if you want to add a bit of Conjunto to the mix

Great help, thanks!

I don’t understand why i see so many positive comments on the HD660S it makes me wonder if there is something wrong with my pair because when i listen to music i feel like the music is behind a curtain (veil) i do agree about them sounding very natural but it’s a bit disappointing at this price tag when comparing to other headphones. I have tried out several different EQ settings and the veil is not there to the same amount anymore but it’s still there to some degree, imaging is good but there is not a lot of soundstage. The weird thing however is that on some days they sound better and on other days worse, it’s a bit weird i must admit

For mixing and coming from Sony 7506 which would you recommend that gets you closer to a mix that works on numerous devices? My fear is I’m going to hear a muffled sound on I coming from Sonys. Curious about Slate VSX

Por fin se le hace justicia al Maestro Marco polo Ruiz....que sigan los éxitos..!!

Hi Mark, sur is just the Modern way of pronouncing swara. This is just the way languages simplify in their phonology. Sur is more contemporary whole Swara is more learned and older. Hope this helps.

I'm native born Mexican and now a naturalized American citizen, growing among relative musicians and started to wanna learn how to play an instrument, but no one had accordions pianos or brass instruments, only guitars. And I started to pickup an instrument since I was around 8 years old. And been playing music for more than 50 years. Accordion, guitar, bajosexto, upright bass, keyboard, saxophone, bass guitar, and very basic drum playing. But I listened to your video about your Candela bajoquinto, and your interview with Bajosexto pro. Musician Marco Polo. Man!! Congratulations!! Mark, I can tell you,ve done intensive research on bajoquintos and their origin, plus their culture. Keep up the great work!

Mark, estoy muy orgullosa de tu español y sobre todo de tu concierto, me hubiese encantado estar ahí. Felicidades y te deseo muchos éxitos más 💐✨

Very nice atmosphere Mister👌👌👍

Very nice composition👏👏👏👏

Very nice comparison man👏👏👏👏👏👏

Mark todo el video cuando no le tocaba hablar: Si.

Really helpful comparison. I landed on your video for the exact purpose you made it. Thank you. How are the 660s working for you?
