Thank you all for responses so far. For the past two weeks, I was trying to make a single reed instrument with a mouthpiece carved from bamboo or PVC pipe. The...
Maquina is a recent work by San Juan experimental/improv guitarist Agustin Criollo. A multi layered hypnotic piece of fluid notes and staccato picking. Enjoy. ...
Hi folks just two ideas: - Loop sampler I have seen a nice hardware real-life loop sampler called "Electrix Repeater". Nice thing: has four channels with own...
Hi I like the Yamaha P80 a lot. Good action, good sounds, good price, very portable. It might be off the regular program, but look for it in shops & 2nd hand. ...

... (http://www.zoom.co.jp/english/st224frmst.html), it's great but lacks foot switch. I currently have a Line6 DL4 delay/looper pedal. I have an Electro- ...
Hi * I would consider getting a Line6 DL4 for live stuff - are you happy with it? Boss RC-20 also seems nice but seems to cost more. Can you really use the...

... It's got some definite plusses and minuses: Plusses -It's fairly easy to loop rhythms flawlessly, and the looping function is easy to learn. -You can...
... I have a Repeater and it's the most amazing thing -- lots of great tricks -- you slow down the speed and not change the pitch (you can slow the beat down...
this is off topic, but i was reading these posts, and thinking about looping again. i have never done any, but always wanted to play around with it. i went on...
... yup. cool little beast. one of my favorite instruments to keep by my computer for quick toots as a break from work. timbre is about 70% clarinet / 30%...
Ah software! Yes I wouldn't use anything else (that's a lie, give me a good looper and watch me fly!) Anyway a nice little dedicated looper for Windows is...
Greetings> I realize this is a long shot, but I came across an interesting stringed instrument called a Dan Day. A smallish trapizoid is the body of the...
I haven't seen this instrument, but from your description I would guess either 1) that the default playing position already has a certain amount of finger ...
There's a picture of a dan day and a description of the mentioned technique at: http://www.geocities.com/saigonstrings/danday.htm My guess is that the fretted...
Hi folks thanks for the suggestions. The Repeater must really have been a cool device. A shame... As for software solutions: I spend my whole day work sitting...
If the neck is flexible enough, you could bend it forward a bit as you play which would lower the pitch. Or- if you were reading from a bad translation of...
Jeez, perhaps I ought to read the responses before I put my three cents in..... ... Although "pulling" on the neck would raise pitch- you'd need to push from ...
Well, I have made a bamboo clarinet, mouthpiece being directly carved on the body. I actually was interested in making Xaphoon like instrument with more sax...
... Not quite sure what you are answering but it's worth noting that Angel's instruments are quite different to bamboo clarinets- they effectively have conical...
Hi, I have been working on a similar instrument. I tried using pvc pipe and a tenor sax mouthpiece. It has more of a sax sound than the Xaphoon in the upper...
... I've made many clarinets very similar to tha Xaphoon, from PVC pipe. Generally, you'll get a more sax-like tone by using a larger reed, a larger bore, and...
Hi, Thank you for suggestions. The notes are quite acceptable now after I have enlarged the holes to about .7cm to 1 cm. I have not been able to get a sax...
greetings! hop-frog would like to invite you to an historic event for us, our first play! we are extremely pleased to announce our participation in Michael...
Hi folks I'm really interested in the Xaphoon... I've never played clarinet/sax but I love the clarinet and soprano sax sound and besides I enjoy my (bamboo)...
... The mouthpiece shape on the Xaphoon seems to be one of the biggest criticisms with the instrument. Particularly among players who have some training with...
I guess the Xaphoon is more appropriate if you want small size, portability and ruggedness. And Angel's bamboo saxes if you want more sax like feel and easier ...
