May be ur best video till now... I get lost in sounds and lights and the story was a kind of different music perfectly according to the main theme....Again i can see how deep ur creativity can dig....and I was kidnapped by your expression meanwhile u play...U look totally different...like another Chris that reveals herself trough the sound....no words ....except... Talent. Respect......
That's amazing to hear, thank you for your sincere opinion, it is very much appreciated and there is still a lot in me to share with the world :)
Olá, quero dar.te os parabéns pelos teus trabalhos em carpintaria. para uma rapariga tens mto talento...
vejo que conseguiste um grande patrocínio de equipamento de uma marca norte americana, algo que nao se ve em Portugal, mto fixe!!! continua com o excelente trabalho! devias fazer algusn videos em portugues, sei que em Portugal é dificil haver marcas com a qualidade de equipamento como as norte americanas...um abraço
@@GetHandsDirty i know quite some time has past since this post but I found your awesome video, as I just recently learned about these instruments and am currently in my researching phase of my own future project. I was wondering if I could pick your brain in the tone department.. like your choice of key, final layout of note locations on the actual playing surface, etc..
Regardless, your final product looks and sounds amazing! I love the simple, streamlined, art modern-esque design features with the round edges, the sleek pattern of the tongues, the singular wood inlay pinstripe, and how both natural colors of the wood are pleasantly complimentary to one another but lend a beautiful contrast against each other. And last but certainly not least, the sound you achieved at the end of the process is amazing and inspiring. Such a peaceful and relaxing timbre.
Hopefully this reaches you, and you receive my message of appreciation for your efforts and your work. I hope my end product looks and sounds half as good yours when I move from planning, onto and finishing to the building process. Cheers from California
SO interesting to see the tuning process and loved hearing you play!! Hope you use that for background music i future videos :D (also it looks beautiful)
It was a bit difficult at first but it was worth sleeping 3 to 4 hours a night for a couple days :D Thanks guys!
Cris is the only creator on youtube that I watch every ads until the end just so she can make some money out of it. youre worth my time. great video!
I appreciate that! Thank you!!!
I am like anyone who uses the CZcams platform; I like to see videos of many topics and many people. It is a way to learn and know your human brothers in the world.
But there are people who fill you with hope and teach you that if you want you can. For that reason and for a thousand reasons I want to thank you for everything you teach us. You are a great dreamer, a huge professional, but most importantly, you are an exemplary woman. I watch your videos with my wife (we both work in construction) and we show your videos to our 5 year old daughter. We want to teach her your values and your strength, and that women are like men, I dare to say they are stronger because that what I see also in my mother, my wife and my dear daughter.
Thank you very much .. Peace, respect and love from Spain ♥
awesome comment
People like you should have a tv 24h channel with unlimited money to make everything your mind decide.
Ahah thank you! That's a big compliment!
So cool, Cris! This has been on my list forever, love the way this turned out. That Wenge is gorgeous!
Yes, it's super fun to play and once you find to solve the little problems, it's so exciting to get it working properly! You should try it :)
Very cool Cris!. Sounded great and you're quite the player. The tuning brought back memories of making my marimbas :)
I am a drummer and woodworker, so this was especially special for me. Thank you!
Smooth tunes, fine woodworking, and popsicles...life doesn't get any better
That's right! ;) If I could only throw away all the stress behind it, hah!
This sounds and looks amazing! Love it!
Thanks David! So awesome to have your feedback :D
This brings table drumming skills to a whole new level.
What a beautiful build, as always. The contrast between the birch and wenge is perfect. I love the marimba-like sound !
What a beautiful project. It sounds so good!
this video is so badass. not just because of the intro or the tropical shirt, but also because you stare at the machine working with an ice cream. COME ON. THIS IS AWESOME
also can we remake your theme song with this? :D
Cristiana, all your videos are very inspiring! They have encouraged me to bring my woodshop skills to a much higher level than they are now. I enjoy being in my shop, and love to learn what other wood workers can show me. Keep your videos coming!!!
The instrument is lovely and so is your playing of it. Well done!
This is great!
Building musical instruments is so overwhelming for me to even grasp. Props to you for taking this on.
Looks great and sounds even better! Thank you for showing the tuning process, I count that as the new thing I learned today.
Your sense of aesthetics is literally spot on this is absolutely amazing!
Thank you Rockler for sponsoring one of the best CZcams channels !!!
Nice job. Love that you demonstrated the drum with good sound quality and different styles and playing techniques.
Excellent work. Making things that fit together and serve a utilitarian purpose is one thing; making an instrument that with that same fit and finish and then fine tuning it to perfection is another. Nicely done!
Loved this video. The music recorded on the drum was hypnotic and so suitable. Was good to watch you creating and recording the music as well.
Really loved the tips on tuning - often wondered how this was done and finessed.

This is by far my most favourite video, and that is saying a lot because the quality of your content and your projects is always outstanding. It shows off your incredible talents! Beautiful work and play. I love tongue drums.
You are incredible. Fantastic build. A testament to your patience and artistry.
it is amazing following you along to see you evolve and make more beautiful things and invent new things... making a musical instrument is a real step up!!! respect.
Good work ! You looks very proud of your work and confident with your musical skills. Thanks for sharing !
I had never heard of such an instrument before. It really has a beautiful soothing tone!. Thanks for introducing it to me.
This was a superb learning tool for anyone wanting to make their own. I like that you don't shy away from working with the mistakes made.
I would like to see a 2nd video, maybe with a guest, where you make a 2nd and see how the process goes this time.
this is so cool!!! i discovered your channel a week ago and have been nothing but amazed by the cool, creative and inspiring projects you make! i never even realized this was a thing people could just make! and you do it so well! you surprise me every time and its 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼💯🔥
Thank you for making template available. Great YT channel. Love the variety
I love the sound of this so much. I was hoping it would be as simple as having a nice CNC router template the get the tones perfect but I guess each piece of wood is going to have variances in density and grain that will affect everything. What a beautiful instrument!
Super cool build & thank you for all the time you spent building and sharing this video !!!!!
amazing! i saw hundreds of videos of ppl making this things, you are the only one who doesn't purposedly hold back data. You are awesome, thanks!!
Yeah, I noticed that on some videos :)
It is truly amazing how talented you are. Music and wood working both extraordinary.
Great build, cool idea! The wenge wood looks amazing. The sound is also great!
I know this is super late, but I’ve never heard of your channel before, but it’s insane to me that this isn’t even in your top 20 most popular videos! Makes me wonder what your other videos are like because this was awesome! Very inspiring.
You are a master at your many crafts - so enjoyable to watch you work and create!
nice one - still growing and now looking into instrument building. I'm impressed
You never cease to amaze us, now you with your music skills. It's clear that you have the knack for it! Thanks for the inspiration =)
XLNT!! Most melodic Tongue Drum I've seen so far. Great work.
Wow! That turned out beautiful!
A lovely build. Such a primitive "wooden" sound. It touches my brain somewhere that's really familiar.
What a beautiful sound, Cristiana! Thank you so much for sharing this. I'm going to try making one of these. Thank you again!!
Beautiful. The instrument, the sounds, the craftsmanship, the video, the overall vibe. Yours are probably the only maker videos I watch in full screen because you make them look (and sound) so perfect.
That's so awesome to hear, thank you so much!
Superb craftmanship. The sound is awesome and the object/instrument/scuplture is a piece of art.
Well done! it's cool to see your interests in music and woodworking come together
I could listen to you play all day!!
I love it. It has very beautiful tones.
That workshop is freaking awesome 😮 I am so jealous.
Thank you! This one goes to my list of all time favourite videos hereon CZcams.
This was just a-m-a-z-i-n-g!
Obrigado.
This is awesome! The piece is beautiful to look at and sounds fantastic.
Awesome project, it sounds really cool!
I appreciate your skill and craftsmanship! Very nicely done.
Beautiful job Chris, really like the way it came out looking & the sounds you made on it where phenomenal!
A great looking instrument with a beautiful sound i never heared about. Thanks for showing
Completely Captivating on many levels. Bravo.
This is a great video. I do not know squad about music but love carpentry, and needless to say you have given me great tips and will try to make this beautiful project.
Thanks so much.
this made me smile. great video and project. thanks for sharing.
Awesome job Cris! 👍 Sounds great! 👊
Wonderful job - I would not have expected the quality from someone who hasn't been making tongue drums for a very long time. Thank you for using WENGE, which is one of my favorites because of the low sustain.
Nice build! Som maravilhoso ;-)
Beautiful, you are quite the Artisan!
Looks and sounds great. Interesting how pentatonic music in universal and found in many cultures. Thanks for sharing!
Your videos are the best day of my week
Excellent work! You have great style and precision and it shows in the finished piece. I’ve been a woodworker for many years and I know quality when I see it.
Making a tongue drum has been on my list for some time as well. Sometimes it is better to dig in and get your hands dirty then waiting for the right time. You did an excellent job on the video, drum, and music!
Great drumming and beautiful woodwork
Mesmerizing! Without the Mesmer! I agree with the previous commenter. This is likely your best film yet, and all of them are enjoyable. Bravo!
You're such an inspiration! Even if i'll never make one of these, watching the whole process was mesmerising!! Keep up the good work and see you in the next video!!
Supercool project!!! Im impressed with the way you fine-tuned it!!!! 🔝👌🏼
Great Video! Awesome to see all the interest you are generating in this wonderful instrument. It took me 8 tries to build one that I was happy with but I learned a lot along the way and encourage everyone to try this build. It is a fun process!
Beautiful job and sounds wonderful
Wow you are so talented. I love the music you were playing, so peaceful. Nice job building the drum.
Acompanhamos seu canal e somos big fans!!! Trabalhos como esse servem de inspiração para continuarmos nosso canal!
Por mais videos como esse! Um abraço aqui da Holanda !!!
You are so creative and talent for woodworking even music.
Such a beautiful instrument and such a beautiful sound!! I really enjoyed this video! Thanks!
Such a clever build, great work yet again Cris!
Oh my! Talent is oozing out of you! This is so awesome.
Kris this was awesome. As someone who’s been thinking about what sort of things I’d like to make for other creatives, instruments have been on my mind. I really appreciate you talking about the challenges on this one, makes me a little less intimidated. Finished product looks gorgeous and sounds awesome. Probably one of my favourites from you. Cheers.
It's amazing all what you do!!!! Congrats from Colombia
Everything about this was excellent!
AWESOME! What a fun project. That drum has a great sound.
Woahw, this is really great work Cristiana, thumbs up. It's so satisfying to witness the birth of an instrument.
A beautiful work of art. Great job and thank you for sharing!
Nice, I dig it!
Beautiful work, beautiful tone! One of your best vids!!!
This was great! So interesting. The sound is beautiful!
That’s so cool. Definitely my new favorite CZcams video. You did a great job
Really nice job. The woodworking is great, and the drumming is as well. Thanks!
That is a beautiful piece! You are so creative and inspiring, keep it up!
WONDERFUL! I LOVE IT! Sounds amazing. Great, great job. Thankd for share.
Outstanding attention to detail.
Beautiful work and fantastic playing 😌
Gorgeous build!! Congratulations!
I'm in love with your workbench.
Very nice craftsmanship and the sound is great! Congrats.
Never heard of this instrument and my goodness!!! :O definitely doing one after I finish my flute. Great inspiration thank you
Great video. I was just in Porto a few months ago, I remember sitting at the café right next to the University to get some delicious Francesinha! Such a beautiful city.
That project looks and sounds really great.
