- Came across Abu the Flutemaker in Baltimore truly making something out of nothing and was super inspired. He's playing a homemade saxophone/bass clarinet made from PVC pipes. Genius. Definitely maximizing the minimal and bringing joy into the world through music. This made me reflect on how much we take for granted, how much we waste.

This guy is the definition of, "There is always someone cooler than you".
Maybe you
Coooooool
Dougie Banks or better then u
I'm not cool :c
I dont wanna break the 555 likes 🥺
HE needs to have a TH-cam channel to show how he made it.
He has one
@@onechampion4128 what is it
Man I can see how he made everything but the mouthpiece. And that's where the sound really comes from.
@@joeythreeclubs i could be wrong, but it looks like hes just buzzing into that part of the pipe like you would on the mouthpiece of a brass instrument
It's a membrane clarinet. Nicolas Bras shows how to make one on his channel
When you got soul like this guy, you can make ANYTHING sound good!👊🏽👍🏽
A bad musician blames his instrument, a good one turns things into instruments.
I feel attacked
I also feel attacked but agree whole heartedly
That something I've always been told by instructors and teachers over the years: "The bad craftsman blames their tools"
I mean, sometimes the instrument which you are using is really crap, but in the end I do agree overally with that.
E.g. there is a cook, he/she can be very good but if the ingredients are total crap, the cook will try to make the best out of it but it will still be kinda crap.
“I have never been more offended with something I 100% agree with”
This guy is so talented and very creative. True musician.
Facts
I watched u vids btw can u pls give me a shout out i have 9 subs
Really? He's in a society with all kinds of resources, puts some PVC together, and is incredibly talented and creative?
I don't see your response now, but it's not a question of not being able to afford a sax. There's several other videos of this guy with other homemade instruments. I think it's neat and fun, and I'm glad to see someone enjoying their hobby. But all these comments with superlative praise seem absurdly condescending, and I'm sure if it was a white guy people would say neat and that's about it. Considering the huge number of brilliant black musicians in the US, that seems absurd to me.

This proves once again that Imagination is the mother of all creation.

Person: what do you play?
Him: The plumbing section at Home Depot.
Somebody buy him a saxo fr, he’s talented, very talented.
No one need to buy nothing bro if he was playing the real one y'all would say we see other do that before.you make something out of nothing now that's talent.he can go an any show an beat anyone with this
I'm just chillin' seeing you all chillin'
This is a pretty chill comment group.
Andrew Goodballet yea fr
Nick Pearce I was just saying
Sounds better than the clarinet players at my school ngl
It's the reeds John! The reeds! goddangit. eeEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I don't even play clarinet (yet...) and it sounds better than me at it!
Although I do think that's like a Jazzophone.
@Rei Ayanami I was just about to say that. Hahaha
@Rei Ayanami Fair point. That's why I didn't comment it. Good job on being faster.
@michael lynch I hate people like you. Why would you put down someone who works harder than anyone else just to eat? He didn't do anything wrong. He's just doing what he has to. You're probably a spoiled brat who gets everything you want so you wouldn't understand the concept of working hard for the chance to survive. Don't ever disrespect people in need. Your parents raised you terribly. Fuck you.
This guy might be poor, but his creativity is what is important, well done!
Talented with hands, mouth and rhythm: a gifted man! Thank yow and please, go on! Be blessed!😊
The sinkdrainophone is one of the hardest instruments to play
Lmao
Lol...I bet it is
Yeah?
Try the P-Trapsichord
Dude isnt even using a mouthpiece so this would actually be extremely hard
Because he has the only one in existence! You want to learn; you need the blueprint!
Unfortunately, the views and likes are not dollars for that honorable man.
Hugo Valdez or basic social welfare
You are judging too early, cause you don't know how long he has been standing there, and best part is the fact the we are watching him and listening.
Hugo Valdez This isn’t inspiring this is uninspiring-this genius is a nobody, fr? I hope he has serious problems bc if he’s just a normal enough guy to function in society after he cleans himself up and everything this is sad.
Give him some money Hugo.
Some musicians choose to do this kind of stuff. Maybe he's one of them. He does look like a made man, so it's likely.
This man is a Genius!
That is talent, and craftsmanship!
He made his own instrument. Nice and he really enjoy it making music out of it. That's what life is all about. Being happy with what ever it gives to us. Love you, sir.🤗👍❤🙉👏
His wife: who fitted a saxophone under our sink??
Hahaha...
Hahahaha you asshole hahaha 🤣 😆
Ty for making me laugh mate ❤️
Hahahaha !! Perfect !! 😂😂😂😂😂
“Honey where did the sinks draining pipe go??”
I used to see this guy around all the time, he’s a local legend
That's awesome
I'm guessing baltimore? Where abouts?
@@nullobject5943 sometimes you see him around Charles village but he’s all over the city

Give him a massive big up from the uk 🙌
I remember when this video was on Facebook. It’s still a flipping awesome video!
Wow!! Sin palabras. La pasión por aquello que nos mueve no tiene límites
Now they are going to raise the price of pvc pipes and Fittings when they see how valuable they really are because of this guy.
I hope you are wrong😉
Ma'am, I have a sensory table to build for my kids. Don't speak those things into existence. PVCs are cheap rn
@@QueenCoCoaMocha what?
@@sociallyunactive I'm building a sensory table made out of PVC pipes. I was just joking with the OP those prices shouldn't be going up🙄
wouldnt pvc reeds be something wild.
Someone needs to walk by and hook him up with a sax! I hope that person crosses paths with you today and blesses you! 💪🏻💪🏻
he wouldn't make nearly as much money though
Ad
Iwถ
He don't need a sax, he doing great without one.
@@JoeKing67. There's another reason though, it seems he's using PVC for his home made sax which is actually pretty toxic so him having a normal saxophone could save him from some health problems
I think he’s basically got one next to him
Genial 😃👏👏👏, quando DEUS da o talento , o q colocar na ✋ vira instrumento 👏👏😌
ዘቨ ሀ ሀ ፈ
Verdade, 💯!!!
What a creative Guy! He probably saw those different parts someone had dis guarded laying around, and Wala! One Man’s junk is another’s treasure 👏🏽😊
It's amazing how he changed from base to soprano and then to base. It's a master piece. 😊
Those notes most certainly are not bass, and not soprano either. Alto-high tenor ranges.
It's definitely not bass or soprano or bass
It may sound like a bass clarinet in the beginning but bass clarinets are not in bass clef lmao
@@idkman7481 they dint read bass clef since you start on clarinet first which reads treble its a bass instrument that has the same range if not higher than a bassoon
@@ajhauter5049 understand the joke idiot
That moment when a PVC instrument sounds better than your $2000 sax
Yup. That's me.
Not abt the instrument it's about the player
Big facts!
I play drums and I have a hard time sometimes hearing the difference between a 600 and a 6000 euros drumkit.
That sucks lol
This man is the inventor of jazz 🎷🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The ingenuity of this!! When you have a passion for something never let anything hold you baxk.
He’s just simply wonderful, and yes a bad golfer blames his clubs when he doesn’t do well. This guy is just pure talent.
Precisely
Goude vibes !

Yo
Can we start a gofund me and get this man a sax, I'm sure he'd love that
Nah. He lives in Baltimore as a street performer. He turns household items into instruments. That's his thing. Start a GoFundMe to get him paid.
He has a saxophone. It’s in this video. To the left of the man.
I bet he’s has the best Sax money can buy.
His name is Abu the Flutemaker. Ive known him since 95 but havent seen him since 2010 when i moved to NC. The man is a GENIUS. The side of Baltimore that needs to be shown more.

I put a tumb up before even listening. This is a great man. I need to know how we can make our own in times of trouble.

Totally agree with you

This is the kind of people that we need to help
I might be joke blind right now, but I don't think this guy is a hobo or anything
Why do you think he needs help lmao
Donation buckets don't mean you're a bum lol. If you appreciate his performance tip him. Think of it as a free concert lol
Yea help get signed onto a record label
why?
Ummm why hasn't this gone viral!!!
YEAH!!!!! YOU RE WRITE MAN🎶💋

It will... When people with pure hearts get here to watch him!😉👏👏👏👏👏👏

This dude’s cool!Maybe we should sign him up with the Blue man tour.Keep On Rockin!
hola Dios te bendiga Jesus te ama lucas 14:33
That is so cool! A saxophone made out of pvc. I never would have thought.
Yeah, nor i. This is fab.
He needs to jam with the guy who made a complete drum set out of paint cans and various trash
Yes he does
Bass: paint buckets.
Treble: The floor.
Is Man wonderfull
My cousin used to do that as a child. He is an actual musician who can play several instruments.
Also with the guy who plays a one string guitar.
This guy should be in part of the “history of music” coz he is a LEGEND! Props to this cool dude
I agree so much
I agre
That's awesome to play something that's made out of pvc pipe. Keep playing your awesome.
Always do what makes you happy and do it with passion. ❤
Someone need to gift him an saxophone
I agree with you but let's not do that because his innovative force and pressure will go down.
I don’t think he needs one since he can make awesome music and show how innovative he is at the same time. Absolute genius
It's not the tools but the man using them
No I think that’s what makes him special that ability as a musician to turn nothing into something
We don't wanna downgrade his equipment.

This guy is awesome...I'm a plumber and I use to play the saxophone 🎷 when I was in high school...this guy put those two things together and created his instrument
He invented a brand new instrument out of pvc. Ingenious. Very resourceful elder.
I've always heard, "use what you got and make it sound good". This is a true example of that. #respect
Jono Kells you re upbeat! Who is this inventor and marvelous saxophone player?

What ever happened to our friend who rehearsed his reed instrument in big light park in SoPo?
There is so much talent on this planet. Hidden talent that some people can’t show because of their conditions. Sad
It's almost like we're all steps in evolution that possess gifts, and abilities to heal, and impact the world but our oppressive governments across the globe rape the planet, and reap the hearts and souls of "free" people for monetary, and material gain all while using up precious resources selfishly, and neglecting humanity as a united whole. Sad.

Making PVC pipes sound like a Sax. Respect
Its good to see that people can make things out of stuff you would never think of. For example a instrument
He isnt homeless he is a travelling musician. He made that pipe trumpet to show his creativity
That is good, but i know cases in my country - in modern Russia history, when people became homeless or nearly begger being former scientists, actors or other talented people. I know examples when famous poets and writers from Uzbekistan or Tajikistan were found working in our building areas as lowcosted migrants with no rights (because had no work in their motherland). It is very shameful situation for all of us.
It's a sax 🎷
@@JustAnotherRussianDude bro, where and when have poets and writers ever not been poor?
@@vapeurdepisse in the country of my childhood - USSR - definitely they were not. There were nearly no homeless at all, if someone became the one - local authorities would help and at least provide a room in campus. If you do something necessary for the people - you always get payed. But one couldn't became as rich as, for instance, Joanna Rowling - there was no goal in the society to become a richman, a billionaire .
@@JustAnotherRussianDude what does that have to do with him pointing out that the guy isn't homeless, but is just a street performer? Having a hard time figuring out what point you are trying to make? Sure anyone can become homeless and it's a sad situation for most people but what's that got do with anything taking place in the video or based on what the person said about this guy bot being homeless?
SOMEONE GET THIS MAN A REAL ONE! HE DESERVES IT
That's beautiful and real genius .
Pure genius. What a guy.
And the thing is, he’s better than other musicians WITH a regular instrument.
We can’t be sleeping on these poor people because in reality, some are richer than we’ll ever be.
Unless you're the "leader" of the country. Then PEOPLE like him are nothing more than burdens and rank on the same level as trash littering the streets.
For the record, I agree with you 100% but it's hard to move people to change when the highest office in the country wants to treat homeless people like they're less than human. People like this guy are a good reminder that we need to help eachother, we're all human beings.
