Thank you Norm

Man this is sweet. I tried this a while back but i was using my cellphone memo recorder and a few barrels and pallets @ my work. The recording sucked but i might have to try it again.

Do these come in a Left Handed model? :) Real cool amigo!!!

really really cool,, i know a very little about osage orange, it's a cool wood, used for long bows in place of yew,, which is the traditional english wood,, i have a 55 lb osage orange long bow that i built, it is a wood that is a bit soft/stringy, so it needs some form of backing for a bow, i use bamboo,, shoots great and also makes a bit of a twang as i release,, now that i think about it,, anyway,, making ones own tackle is really neat,, wonderful work/demo/story/sound all in one and all around!!

YES!!! love your beats bro!!!!! The harp is a great touch!

Absolutely cool track! Excellent concept! w;-)

All I can say is...OH WOW! I love it! w;-)

Ok, I want one! Sounds soooo cool! w;-)

Wow great sound Norm really cool mate.

This has a new sound with all kinds of possibilities. I like the easter egg at the end too. The instrument sounds cool

Very cool. Reminds me of a detuned bass guitar or something. I think I need me one of these as well. :)

Me too me too! I wants one! I have a berimbau app but it dont sound near this good.

Had a slapping time making lunch

Can I order one?

finally got to hear this. there is a distinct didgeridoo sound to it, especially when you start. I wonder what would happened if you bowed the string. - and - how did you pull the wire out of a tire - I want to do that.

This is amazing, Norm! Love the ending. I think you should go into the berimbau making business!

Wow! That's freaking awesome! I love instruments like this and the fact that you made your own is killer! Lovely 3 track recording. Nice groove. I would love to hear you expand on this and combine it with some synths or something, but hell either way really really cool!

wow, that's impressive!

Hi Norm......nice groove man.........its got my head shaking, my arms shivering, my back bouncing, my legs levitating

Excellent norm you really can get a beat out of anything ......we used to play bows and arrows with our Berinbau we just had a bit of string instead of wire and the wood was. Bit of elder kept us occupied for hours in the spiny wood and the only sound we made from it was the loud Fadunk when we let the reed arrows fly at one ofd the cowboys.....

Keep pushing that envelope! Tell me again, as you recorded this, are you listening to the tuning as we hear it in the recording?

Lovely!

Provocative and powerful.

Great to hear some other Virginia musucians on this great website. You rock strong. I'm proud that you are from the Commonwealth. Look me up when you are in Roanoke if you would like to jam with a percussionist. Strong work!

Oh, how did I miss this rocker? Strong on many levels.

Yes! This rocks hard.

This is a lovely song with great lyrics. It stands on it's own without any percussion - to my ear it was too delicate to put any percussion to except just a touch of shaker. Nice work! As usual from you, great vox.

Ahh, Vibraphone & Piano: 2 of my favorite *percussion* instruments. I'll go on an expedition with you any time! (Way hip kite surfing photo)

Ha! This was great fun for me generating a large number of interesting spooky noises -all acoustically- in my laboorratory. The chilling errie wind sound was created with a long spring, attached to the head of a small hand drum (known as a “spring drum”, of course) and the “opening crypt” sound was generated by running my thumb nail down the spring under tension. And any time I get to hit the 30” Paiste gong, you know I’m smiling –evilly in this case.

Yes, RW's sitar works very well here. Nice! I confess that I don't know what a tenpura is, but then I thought a hurdy-gurdy had something to do with a busking monkey... now I realize its a wheel fiddle, which I've never come close to seeing or hearing. I still want one of those things with the monkey hitting folks up for change in his little cup, whatever it's called.

Which ferret is the witch ferret?

I agree with Beth: definite Spanish flavor to this one. Very nice!

@Jarvis: A bandoneon is a type of concertina, sort of like an accordion, popular in Argentina... Piazolla is considered to be one of the masters of this instrument, (good question... I had to look it up myself). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandoneon

Ha! That's rich. All he wants is a regular cello, "like all the other cello people". But you gave a nice pitch for the electric bitchin' cello... I feel your pain, brother! A million drums and my kids want to play sax, flute and piano! Very nice work here, Dylan!

Still fresh and new, once again. Outstanding.

This is still fantastic. I'm sorry about your toothbrush.

Still awesome!

Exotic.

Wow great song. Your inspiration must be something else! Well done! Great collaboration.

Most excellent!
