The first rule of untangling you foil kite, is don't tangle your foil kite. Nice technique for confined space!

So with this plug in do your neighbours can hear trumpet sound?

Doesn’t seem all that fun. 😂

Cute ass cat bro 😊

There is something really beautiful about this video. Quite the hidden gem, thank you for making this.

That cat was personal 💀

czcams.com/video/9n9SKqYHgPA/video.htmlsi=SLMBvD5cVVgAUqmN check out this link for an excellent string suggestion. D'Daddrio XTC46FF hard tension strings allow an E tuned guitarlele. You should watch the whole thing but if you just want the strings those are the ones he suggests.

Love it. Was that you on the duotone board? @2:47

Nice!

Lol. My Dogs are similar. Everything is for them. Even if its not

Would be curious how well each of these flag out with the minimum measured lengths you mention. I used to fly Core kites and that bar uses a 2-line flagout that offsets the two center lines by a few meters. But they specifically use pulleys on all their bridles and even then I've had it fail to flag properly. These days I use a North Navigator bar, with 22m lines on a 10/12 split. Never had an issue flagging up to a 15m kite, which by your measurements seems to check out.

Interesting topic Eric. Really dislike self rescuing when the bar runs up the cl all the way to the kite. Also feel like it's unsafe because it delays getting lines wrapped around the bar and increases the potential of getting lines tangled around your legs. Good job

I know I said "knot" several times in the video. Please do not tie a knot. You can splice a knot in, but if you tie an actual knot into the line it will break. You can use either a red stopper or do like I do and just splice in a knot which is ok. Don't tie knots it will break your lines.

where am i gonna hide that giant can on my vehicle??

How do you calibrate it to have a specific angle between each virtual sun and the next?

Thank you.

Good work

Just watched your vid on violin vibrato. I guess I can say that vibrato on a Hammond organ is very easy to add; you just flip a tab for whichever keyboard you want vibrato on, and it's there. However, the real problem is HOW do you get vibrato on an immutable pitch instrument such as a Hammond? Short answer is, you must first send the audio signal through a multi-tap phase shift line, and then sequentially scan all the taps on the delay line in sequence, both forward and reverse. The result is a signal that has a continuous, ever-changing phase shift, both slightly behind and then slightly leading, resulting in a true frequency modulation at the scan rate, which is also the vibrato rate. All things considered, I think making vibrato on a stringed instrument where you can cyclically vary the effective vibrating length of the string is a lot simpler.

Very interesting indeed. I just subscribed to your channel. I enjoyed the tour through your music studio; obviously you have put a lot of time and effort into getting a nice setup that suits your needs. I saw that you have a video about violin vibrato. I must check that out which I will do now. And, since I am a true connoisseur of puns, I have to say I got a good laugh out of your cat being inbred! Very clever. Only thing wrong with it is that I didn't think of that first! Eric L, the Hammond Guy

Nice!

Hello Eric! First of all, sorry for my English, I'm not a native speaker :D I just bought the VXLR+, but I cannot get it to sound (properly). The chain is: Mute -> VXLR+ -> Behringer UMC 404 hd (+48 V). The Behringer UMC 404 hd is not the best audio interface, but it should do the job... The sound is really, really bad, with lots of weird noise and the trumpet volume is very low. I checked the inputs with a condenser mic and it works fine. I don't know what's wrong, so I'm a bit worried about the mute. Is it probably broken by the phantom power? That would be strange as the mute mic works on 3V and the VXLR+ converts 48V to 3-5V, so it should work... I also tried adjusting the gain knob, attenuation pad, line/inst pad... But no luck. Does anyone have similar problems? Any idea what is happening?

Looks like you put the killswitch where the Volume knob usually is. So I’m guessing you re-wired the Volume into the middle knob and made the final tone knob control all pickups?

What happen if for some reason you have to let go of the line ?

What a simple idea; but brilliant ;-)

I feel like you would progress faster with a better instrument?

Dont wiggle your wrist. Pinch the neck of the violin with your thumb and finger making the note. With that anchor, now you are free to rock your hand back and forth. Wrist will see little to no motion. Kinda like your whole forearm and hand moving together with your fingertip as the pivot point

i've been playing for 8 years, 40 mins a day, 6 days a week and i have only just started to feel decent. you're doing well for a beginner. have a look at your bowhold and intonation. focus on tone quality (eg. playing close to the bridge) so you can sound more "confident".

You need to drill another line of holes.

Are you the same Eric Taylor that used win all those east coast surfs comps about 20 years ago?!

Great video!

Awesome edit!

That fire must stink with all that rotten wood

What part of the country are you in Eric?

I use this technique with my BRM C2 and Slingshot UFO and it's probably the only way to self land safely and consistently with strutless kites.

Your thumbnail gives you away. We all know you faked your death, Mr. Robin Williams.

So the low E, is the stock string tuned down to E? Isn't it too sloppy?

Thank you!

HI Can you tell me what alternative device you plugged the mute into after you fitted the Rode VXLR+ please ?

Cute

I don't have a cat but my children watch upside down 😂🤷‍♀️

Upside-down is a huumon convention
