Garry Says - Unusual Instruments, Part 2
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 มิ.ย. 2024
- Watch founder of Woodstock Chimes (www.chimes.com/) and professional percussionist Garry Kvistad demonstrate unusual instruments. Percussionists are often called upon to play instruments that are sometimes not even classified as percussion instruments. A huge category within this subset are sound effects. Sound effects used in movies began with Jack Foley in 1927. Foley Art is used throughout the film industry today and many of Jack's techniques are still a mainstay in this world. Another leading figure in the world of sound effects was the late, great Tom Keith of A Prairie Home Companion fame. He used vocal sounds as well as props. Michael Winslow can be heard in the Police Academy movies doing amazing things with only his voice. There's a wonderful scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail where two of the members pretend they are riding on horseback while one of them makes the sound of horses hooves with coconut shells. "Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?" Percussionists in the orchestra often play instruments that imitate whips, anvils, bird calls, Cathedral bells and animal sounds that are scored by composers such as Aaron Copland, Ferde Grofe, George Gershwin, Richard Wagner, Leroy Anderson and Franz Josef Haydn to name a few . Yet another great reason to be a percussionist!

My left ear really liked this
Thanks, Shining Armor!
lol it was only playing for my left ear also
It's playing on both ears, but very quiet on the right one
I thought it was my right ear.. Until I released I had my headset on wrong way
Same.
Only getting sound out of my left headphone.
Though my headphones where broken!
I loved this video, and all of the chimes you have created are beautiful, i am going to buy a set of the calypso chimes soon for my yard, i bought some years ago but my neighbour wasn't very happy, i loved them but unfortunately gave them to a charity shop but not this time, i am within my rights to listen to them and i will bring them in during the winter months but i so love them. I know exactly what they sound like and they sound so pretty. Thank you for bringing so much happiness into people's lives including my own and the calming feelings it gives to people who appreciate beautiful music. 🤗🎶🎶🎶🎶.
this is so cool, i love odd instruments
So glad you enjoyed the video!
Sound effects people must have the most fun jobs in the world!
I think you're right about that, Jennifer! Glad you liked the video.
That waterphone is awesome!
Thank you!
I really liked the waterphone, rain stick, and thunder drum
Thank you!
This video made me happy. What a joy to hear all of those neat instruments. I never heard of a Waterphone before but when I heard it, I became pure WANT.
Thank you, Kerry! I'll pass your comments along to Garry. He has an amazing instrument collection, so there are sure to be more videos like this in the future. Stay tuned!
Thank you for crediting Richard Waters with the water phones invention. His invention has often been copied but never duplicated.
AMAZING SOUNDS! INCREDIBLE COLLECTION! Congratulations! I loved this video!
+Luiz Orta Thanks, Luiz!
Hey, watch out for the banana peel right in front that concrete staircase! at 7:39
BASS BOOST
So cool. That waterphone one made me twitch like crazy
AMAZING! I completely forgot about the "Rainstick" project we were tasked with creating in the Pottery course whilst attending university! I believe I may still have mine in the shed out back some place hidden amongst other forgotten trinkets! I think I shall go retrieve it that I might find some poor fellow to annoy.
Edit for clarity: we had no such access to any cactus or the likes of. Therefore, the whole of the unit was completed strictly with Pottery Clay.
I LOVED this, thank you :)
You're so welcome!
thanks you so much for making sucha videos.. people like u helps us to understand better and advance in our creativity...!
Thank you!
Gr8 job Garry...keep the sounds coming.
Thanks, Dennis!
What a great sounding rain stick!
Thank you!
Fascinasting and amazing sounds and tones that you derive from your array of unusual instruments. Thanks for the lesson and for sharing your Foley Art sounds......
So glad you enjoyed it, Greg. Thank you!
Slide whistles were often brought to American Baseball games to "liven up" the pitching
Amazing video! Thanks for showing and explaining these cool things!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.

+Alyssa Estanislao That's great news! So glad to hear about that awesome grade. How did you present it to the class -- did you show the video?
Really bell, they may have been one of the earliest of instruments.
Michael Winslow!
Great video!
Thank you, Monika!
Thanks a lot for the reply! I have been looking for a similar sound and a ratchet is a great tip!
You're welcome, Robin! Glad to help.
I thoroughly enjoyed your video sir. Very gladdening
Thank you!
Acme corporation.... And he talked about cartoons....coincidence?
Cool!!
Thanks, tugaru555, glad you liked it!
What is the instrument at 2:00? I loved the sound and want to get one! Thank you
Hi Nora Rae, Is it the "creaking door" instrument you'd like to learn about or the rattlesnake sound? Please let me know and I'll see what I can find out. Many of these are antique instruments in Garry's collection and might not be available currently.
I have a rain stick at my house
Why is there a footstep sfx on the right channel
Wow what is that single string instrument called?
Waterphone is the best
3:30 sounds like a record scratch
Very great where can we buy these things?:)
Garry is a professional percussionist and has built up his impressive instrument collection over several decades. Some are available in music shops and some are more rare. Try Googling any of the instruments that interest you to find sources. Thank you!
Oh ok I understand. Nevertheless I think it's difficult to find I guess.
@Ahmad Nasser, Garry tells me that he's always referred to it as a "boing box" and is not aware of any other official name for the instrument. Thank you!
1:42 rob scallon: here
Quite curious, what's the dove/pigeon call at 4:42? Anyone know?
I believe this is made by Acme.
Hi there, could you tell me what is the instrument that imitates a creaking door?
on 2:08
Hi Robin, It's an antique instrument that dates from 1906. We don't know the official product name, but the patent number is inscribed on it (PAT. Mah.28,05. MADE IN THE USA) and I can provide a photo of it if you'd like. Please send an email to socialmedia@chimes.com and I'll be happy to send it. The sound is similar to modern ratchet noisemakers like these: www.google.com/search?q=ratchet+noisemaker&rlz=1C1GCEU_enUS820US820&oq=ratchet+noisemaker&aqs=chrome..69i57.3899j1j1&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
I hope that's helpful!
Where to get that wind whistle? Don't see one on your site...
Hi Dianna,
All the instruments demonstrated in the video are from Garry's vast private collection and aren't sold by our company. The wind whistle is made by the Acme Company of England. Here is their U.S. website, where you can find a wind whistle similar to the one Garry demonstrated: www.acmewhistles-usa.com/
I hope that helps!
Hi There! What is the instrument called of this ahooga horn? 8:11
Hi Victor, that is modeled after the car horns in the old Model T Fords.
8:44 what is that instrument called?
Hi Harley, that's a Thunder Drum made by Remo. Here is a link to the Remo site for mosre information: remo.com/products/product/spring-drum-thunder-tube/
I hope that's helpful.
They could be carried
I'd love to buy a waterphone when I can afford.
Hope you get your wish, David!
Thanks. The rainstick is interesting too! The only strange thing I have at the moment is a small tube with a long spring attached that combines the principles of the old trick of a taut string with a cup to talk into at each end which amplifies sound---- together with the spring, which acts on the principle of electronic spring reverbs, only no magnetism involved. So spooky reverberant sounds without electricity!
Sounds intriguing!
What's the name of the instrument used at 2:37 in this video? th-cam.com/video/tZkouut-9RQ/w-d-xo.html
No. I was referring to the instrument in the video I posted. Here it is again. th-cam.com/video/tZkouut-9RQ/w-d-xo.html
Roy, that's not a video we made and I'm not familiar with the instrument at 2:37. Sorry!
Strange!
ACME isnt even a company that you see on tiny toons.
Wow, great collection you have there! How do you find this shaker: th-cam.com/video/WBwtKfMcoqk/w-d-xo.html
