Thank you for the kind comments everyone! James here. I have fallen a bit behind with editing and doing interviews. I've learned a lot over my Stringdom time. I will be traveling again soon, so I hope to do a second run of interviews and publish them. So stay tuned! :)
That's great news!!
I hope that the person who has made this channel, if they've gone on to other things or are still making content, knows how amazing this series is. Even if it is your first foray into content creation or the numbers aren't how you expected, your content continues to be great for what you are trying to do. The production quality isn't everything, especially when dealing with live instruments I think you've improved a LOT over the years. I hope to see this series come back in 2021 or 2022 if you decide to keep it going. Thank you so much
How has channel not blown up so proffesional and well made
Glad to see that you're posting again!
Thanks for watching! More time at home = more time to edit interviews :) more to come!
Please come back, your channel is awesome.
I'm not sure if you still monitor this channel, but I feel the need to share - Even though most of your videos never received the attention they deserved, this series quite literally changed my life. The exploration of music as a universal experience helped me view the world with a more open heart and set me on a journey to find aspects of my own musicianship I didn't know existed.
From the bottom of my being, thank you for this incredible series. It made a difference.
So nice to take part in this series! Great job!
Thank you for taking the time, Tolgahan! I can't wait to get back over there and explore more of the rich musical instruments around Turkey. And of course that awesome turk kahvesi :)
@@TheStringdom Hope to see you again and drink Turkish coffee together
I was lucky enough to hear Tolgahan in concert here in Vienna last year, and talk to him a bit afterwards. A great inventor, brilliant musician, and a very nice guy.
And a very nice video too. I will be checking out the rest of your work.
cheers from sunny Austria, Scott
Just discovered this channel today, binge watched all the videos! What a fantastic series, sad there hasn't been an upload in a while. Hope he's moved on to bigger and better things! Or maybe a new video coming sometime soon
The crossover I never knew I needed!
Thanks for the great content!
I'm just glad enough people know about my dorky little channel to be considered a 'crossover' haha
I'm so glad you're still here!
Thank you! Glad you're still watching! :)
I wish there was a similar channel for wind instruments
I have absolutely loved watching all your videos. Absolutely fantastic series, I would love if you ever did more but I'm happy that you've done at least this, I've learnt so much.
Could you do a video on the ronroco in the future? Thanks for the great channel!
There's a popular new anime that came out this year called "Mashiro no Oto" (Those Snow White Notes) all about the shamisen. That would be a cool one to do too.
I just found this channel recently and I’m immediately hooked! I wish you can continue this series. Maybe you could make a video about the Russian seven string guitar, there’s players in the USA if you can’t go to Russia.
I'd love to go to Russia! I have my eye on doing a video about the Domra as well, a kind of Russian mandolin. It's on the list
Woah, missed this one. Very happy to see that you are still posting videos! Would've loved to hear more about maqamat. It's a huge difference to read about it or to see and listen to somebody talking about it with an instrument in his hands. I've seen Tolgahan's guitar on yt before, but I didn't know that he developed it himself. Gonna check out his website. Thank you for yet another interesting episode.
Great video, pleased to see your posting again! I'd like to request the Morin Khuur, it's a bowed instrument from Mongolia that has a very unique, pleasant sound.
Thanks for watching! YES Mongolia is on my list! I'd love to do an Asian itinerary, including central Asia! Hopefully when the borders open I can get back out there :)
Relieved this channel is still active!
Please keep up the great work and keep this amazing channel going regardless of how popular it gets. Fantastic job as always!
Thank you for watching! Yeah it got a bit hard finding the time to keep these coming out, but all of a sudden I have a lot of time at home! hehe
I expected to be able to tell a real difference in his piece of music vs the western due to the tonal transitions, but I found it really interesting that it all sounded properly sequential.
Yeah! The pieces he chose to play when I interviewed him were very subtly different from standard Western tuning. That guitar of course has the possibility to get pretty extreme, although we only had limited time. I can encourage you to check out his own channel, he has a TON of videos there. Very interesting!
Great video as usual! This is a brilliant channel, I really appreciate how in-depth each upload is
Thanks so much for your kind comments! I actually had to cut down a lot of what we talked about in this one... it was maybe TOO in-depth for a lot of people I think haha
Dear James,
Thank you for producing this most exciting series of videos. It is so enriching and horizon expanding!
Are you also planning a video about the Bavarian Zither by any chance?
Thank you for the comment! I have fallen a bit behind with the episodes! :/ but I do have some more still to publish. I would LOVE to do an interview and video about any interesting string instrument. I did one with a Hungarian Zither player, but haven't even been to Bavaria yet. I will be in Europe soon, so perhaps! If you have any recommendations of players to interview, please let me know!
I've missed your explorations of unusual, to me instruments, I myself I have absolutely no musical ability but so enjoy your videos and their education of us of little known in the general knowledge sense instruments
Well thanks for watching! I was a little bit worried about this one, as it gets a bit technical. But I hope it wasn't too heavy!
Nice work man, it's always good to learn about cool different instruments
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
fascinating !
This is a great video! Love your channel, man. You should interview Michael Levy about the lyre and the development of resonating string instruments.
Any plans to do a video on the Oud ?
It also helps to be gifted in playing that style of music as well. That guy could cut a CD and go on tour.
He has! He's got a couple of CDs out I think. Check out his website!
Good content! ,Please keep doing !!
Thanks for watching! Yes there's more to come! :D
hello sir,
can you please make a video on Rabab ????????
What is that sound on intro? Really want to know it. Thanks beforehand!
Очень крутой канала! Обидно, что так мало просмотров ((
I do wonder why he doesn't favour a fretless guitar.....limitless micro tones ????
He's actually in a duo with a fretless guitarist (open.spotify.com/album/1BbZ3khPAce5hDYiwPKCWh), who was out of the country when I visited Turkey: he was on my list of interviewees! My impression was that it was partly to make a connection with the fretted instruments of Turkey (saz/baglama) which are microtonal (by Western standards)
First
