You play 91 instruments. You're a geologist. You do aerial gymnastics. In a good way, you're absolutely insane. Thanks for channelling all the hard work and talent into something that we all love and enjoy. :)
@@InstrumentManiac It takes, by my estimation, at least three to five years to become legitimately competent at playing a single instrument. If the fingering and embouchure is the same, that can be extended to an entire family of instruments for the woodwind and brass families of instruments, but it still takes skill and finesse to adapt to the other members of the family. It also takes experience to figure out how to transpose for them, particularly if you're already dealing with an instrument in a different key compared to what the score was originally composed for. Then you also get families of instruments where they aren't just an octave off of each other and you have to cope. If you wanted an easy route you'd just digitize the score and use whatever application you're using to transpose it for you, but I know people are sometimes good enough to transpose something live and that's just insane. My sister used to do that when she was in marching band, since she knew how to play clarinet, trumpet, flute, and piccolo. I only ever learned trumpet, because I knew my level of ability wouldn't allow me to cope with enough keys to be competent on any of the woodwind instruments. I got decidedly decent at it, but decided to drop it after middle school because I knew I didn't want to invest the time and effort into it in the way that high school band expects of you. My sister did concert and marching band and she never had spare time. So I wouldn't sell yourself short. You're talented, truly, and you've put the effort into it to become at least reasonably competent in that many different families of instrument. I'm just glad to be able to geek out over some of the videos you've posted where you deep dive into some of your instrument purchases. It's just such a pleasure to learn about new and interesting instruments (at least to me) and hear someone play them with complementary backing tracks. Your video on the contrabass clarinet is a masterpiece. I've never heard another track re-written to focus so heavily on an instrument used mostly for the deep backing bass notes. Lovely work.
All instruments are the same really. I can't imagine what instrument would not be intuitive unless it were programmed that way.andvit really depends, some people just know how to do it. Also, practice does make perfect in the context of musicianship as you must train your brain the same way you train muscles at a gym. The only way to keep it up is to keep it up. There is never something you cannot learn, even from the most novice of players. Keeping an open mind, relaxing atmosphere, and opportunity to try different instruments in a similar span of time will make a multi-instrumentalist out of those born with the gene.
@@C_U_R_I_E_L Yeah, no. All instruments are absolutely not the same. Skills on one instrument are often transferable to instruments within that same family of instruments, such as experience playing the violin being useful for other held, non-fretted, bowed instruments like the viola. Experience with a saxophone is largely transferable between the different sizes/tunings of the saxophone as long as the keying has been kept to the standard. The same is true for the keyed brass instruments, flutes, clarinets, etc. But only within their respective families of instruments. Embouchure, breath control, and fingering are all different between the different families of blown instruments. Basically, the way you've oversimplified this disregards all of the differences between the instruments and the effort that multi-instrumentalists put into learning their craft.
This is hugely inspiring. I am also a multi instrumentalist (right now I play 40 instruments and I’m learning the trumpet) but my other great passion is in chemistry. I’m 17 and I’m just starting college and a lot of people have made me feel like I need to choose between science and music, but seeing this gives me hope that I can achieve both in my life. I just found your channel and I love it, thank you!
Doubt you’ll see this comment as I’m very late, but wanted to add a voice in support of not choosing in the event someone else has the same dilemma . I have a friend who was deciding between doctor and musician. Ended up being a super specialist surgical nurse and then playing in pit bands and orchestras for shows. Less stress and more fun in the music, reliable income from the science, and a huge network of lovely friends in both camps. Yes, you can have it all.
When I lived in the baroque period, I had a large number of instruments too! Due to the shortage of space, I couldn't find a place to store them, but I ended up renting them to Mr. Johann Sebastian Bach.
I've been a longtime subscriber of yours and I just want to say, I love your musical style. You are also my biggest inspiration to play all my instruments and I am inspired by you!
I admire your organization skills because I too have many instruments but I don’t have a second bedroom to store them all. Getting a larger apartment is not a financial option for me unfortunately but I was glad to see how you do it.
We have way less than 90 instruments in our house, maybe something like 30, and it's so much more unbelievably chaotic xD every last inch of storage or wall space is splattered with instruments. I'm extremely envious of the clean and functional setup. You should get an electric drumkit! There's so much more to learn about percussion when you involve your feet
This guys is exactly like me, I started Viola at age 10, I hated it. Then I switched to flute at age 11! I loved playing the flute, but I eventually switched to my main Instrument, and my current instrument, the bassoon at age 13! I am currently 14 and still obsessed with band and music😁
Ok, you're way crazier than I am in terms of number of instriments ... When I thought I was weird for wanting to play so many different instrument ... You just gave me the will to embrace it ! Thank you :)
Contrabass flutes are rare but are amazing. The Flute Center of New York I think has one in stock but it is very expensive. The Kingma Contrabass and the Pearl Contrabass.
It all looks very tidy and organised. But the closets do help. I always say that a couple of well placed closets will bring order even to a small house. And your instruments seem all comfortably placed in there.
“Good video!” And also I look forward to more future content this year starting this summer, And good luck with everything else for the rest of the year!! Because I’m sure you’ll do very great too!. 😊✌️
Huh, could I possibly recommend another instrument to add to the collection? A tin whistle would really fit in with the rest of the winds you have your hands on, and there's a lot of range in timbre to play around with in the materials. It was personally one of my breakthrough instruments that helped me look at music in a different way, so it has a bit of a special place for me. I figure you're probably a bit like me and enjoy playing around with the differences in tone, and I couldn't help but notice the absence of those and wondered if you've ever heard of them.
4:39: As a violinist that currently player multiple instruments as well, cello to violin doesn't transfer well but violin to cello does. If you learn violin and then try to pick up cello after that, It'll transfer over pretty well because you're used to having your fingers pretty close together, so stretching them out is going to be pretty easy. And arguably speaking, the bow hold for violin is slightly harder, so for any violinist who are picking up cello, holding the boat was going to be slightly easier because you don't have to put your pinky on top of the stick and curl it.
Very clever to use your instruments like decoration, makes your apartment look cooler. Also, for me, the only thing hard to play on the cello was holding the bow, probably because i was only learning the easy songs (which I still am now) and it will get harder from time to time.
I just found your chanel and I am amazed that you are so talented and love your songs, I will definitively listen to more and watch more of your videos!❤
@@jaydenreed164dang i got three guitars, a piano, an electric drumset, 5 recorders, one flute, one harmonica, one saxophone, one trombone, one trumpet, two violins, an ocarina, and two ukeles but you are slaying 🔥🔥🔥
This is awesome! 😎👌 When playing Flute you need lung strength, to be able to blow air to produce noise, and arm strength And some friend introduced me to "Koto" a Japanese instrument. it's so relaxing to listen yet it's so challenging to play😂 Playing from wind instrument and try Stringed its just hard I love how he play various Instruments ❤️
Just found your videos, good stuff. I have a large collection as well, but of traditional instruments from all over. There is never a limit. My living room is just filled in a beautiful chaos :)
You are incredible! I am a multi- instumentalist too,and my favorate genre of music is classical and jazz, I play tuba, euphonium, tenor sax. bari sax, trombone (my main), bass clarinet, contra alto clarinet, alto clarinet, contrabass clarinet, bass guitar, tenor recorder, bass recorder ect. But the only instuments i can play are bass intruments or instuments that are in the lower range, i got my hands on a trombone when i was 11 and that was it, im thinking of learning cello soon i love your videos and i love your TALENT.
Hey! Just found your channel and as an alto (sax haha, just remembered i have to be specific) learning tenor (sax) next year, this video has eased my nerves a bit as im going to be a first time tenor in a jazz band! Thanks for being awesome, you've got a new sub :D
Hey Luke, if you ever want to explore new instruments, there’s this Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix, Arizona that has 6000 instruments that you can play!
The fact this one guy can play so many instruments is amazing. Can't imagine all the time, effort and probably money that went into learning all of them. edit: on top of all that, he's a geologist? holy hell-
I played french horn in school, but I was always more of a vocalist. As an adult, I missed music a lot, so I bought a flute to teach myself to play. I started there as it was a fairly inexpensive instrument to start with. It sounds like maybe teaching myself, wasn't the best choice. I'm ok at it, but certainly not anything I'd play for other people.
You're living the musical life I wish to have someday. I made it a quest to learn every instrument I can and it's amazing to see a fellow doubler (i guess unongentupler in this case?). We're a small breed of musicians but a nonetheless powerful one. I hope to play it out to the extent that you have. :)
Luke, if you wanna see really cool brass instruments you should watch Trent Hamilton, he has this thing called: The Wall of Many Things and it has i think over 60 extremely rare brass instruments and its really cool. also ive been watching your videos for about 2 years (i think) and i forgot to subscribe, but ive been a long-time viewer and watching you inspired me to play 6 (once again i think, im pretty sure its somewhere in between 6 to 14) (i play: 1; Contrabass clarinet, 2; contrabass trombone (and bass and tenor trombone) 3; sousaphone (the general giant of brass) 4: violin, 5; harmonica, and last but definitely not least, the Schalmei (MartinsHorn))
In the band hall duhh. 😂😂😂 In a serious note though, I have wondered that. At one point in time I had 21 instruments in my bed room, that was a fiasco.
I can relate to what you do on this channel. I usually reply to “what do you play?” with “yes.” However, it’s not absolute truth since I haven’t touched bagpipes, and I can count on one hand the number of times that I have played French horn. However-ever, I agree that instruments in a family use similar technique. Combine that with the basic knowledge of music theory learned with the first few instruments, and it’s entirely possible to extend that ability into a multitude of performance possibilities. I think the learning curve gets exponentially easier with this combination. IMO, strings are fine as a beginning instrument to play since people have different aptitudes and styles of learning. Although it’s possible, I know it’s tougher to learn any instrument without instruction. Also, just like embouchure, a set of muscles need to be exercised and acclimated to the expectations of making it work. Seeing what I can play, compared to what I want to keep around the house - I definitely don’t want to own that many instruments! I often borrow from friends or colleagues rather than having debts and storage problems. There’s just one room with racks… and I keep others that I’m currently performing on hand in other places… and some that are laying all over the house because intend to play them for fun…. I’m not at all sure that counts as a better system for storing. 🤦🏽♀️
Hopefully you will own more than 100 instruments. Add baritone and bass saxophone to your collection along with the sopranino sax. Plus add English horn and contrabassoon. A c soprano saxophone would also be good. A sarrusophone is also a good choice.
I don't know if I'd be able to resist displaying the woodwind and brass instruments as well, even though it's not necessarily good for them to do so. I love instruments, though, despite being woefully inept at learning to play them myself. So I'd love to walk into a house that looks like it might be moonlighting as an instrument store. I sometimes miss those days when my sister was in band and we would go down to our local McFayden Music (which is now closed thanks to the 2007/8 market collapse) and browse their instruments while she was looking through their sheet music and picking up any accessories that she needed. I only got to go there a handful of times, but man was it amazing to see some of the professional grade flutes, trumpets, violins, clarinets, etc. Instruments can be, in and of themselves, a work of art. So even if I'm not competent enough to play them myself, I can still enjoy looking at them and listening to others play them.
Glad the lick video came up! Definitely had to subscribe after that (fellow geologist...and occasionally a musician, but nowhere near as good or multi-talented!). Hope you're doing well.
I’m a percussionist and I’m currently trying to learn trumpet, but my mom thinks that I will lose all my percussion technique. Does learning a secondary instrument ruin the technique of your main instrument?
Pardon me for butting in, but I don't think so. If you were to take up a wind instrument, there could be interferences (solvable with a good teacher) but trumpet and percussions? It's like saying that taking a driving licence for a lorry will ruin your bycicle skills.
no way, in many ways secondary instruments actually strengthen your primary and give you more exposure to music. i do piano, clarinet, bass clarinet, tenor sax, guitar, and recorder and knowledge of every instrument strengthens my musical ability as a whole. if you want to learn, go for it!
@@dholocronkeeper Totally agree with you on this. It not only reinforced what I'd already learnt but gave me a much better understanding of music theory and composition. Especially the cello which is the bass of the violin family. Elgar in particular threw me a few curve balls, with the Enigma variations. I'd start in the bass clef and play, then turn over the page and suddenly i have to read in the baritone or alto clef.
Nah. 2ndary instruments usually let u see music in a different perspective and might - depending on the combination strengthen your previous instrument further in a way
I have seriously started with Bb clarinet at age 37. It's been 7 months now, and I want to lower my tones in the clarinet family: alto, bass, than contra alto. They're freaking expensive, so I keep an eye for used ones in good shape
Good video, amazing to see how organised you keep all the instruments. Do you still do the aerial exercises? It would be lovely to see you perform the aerial skills to a piece of music you play with your various instruments, even a self composition to suit your dance.
@@InstrumentManiac sorry to hear about your shoulder, your music is excellent thought, you bring so much happiness with it. Thank you for that. Bless you.
I dont know If you take requests but a nice video suggestion would be a ''neji vr hinata'' theme flute cover the compositor of this song absolutly nailed on the flute part
This Is one of the coolest musical channels I have ever seen!! I was wondering, about how hard do you think it is to switch from flute to piccolo? Thanks always.
Hey Luke, have you ever seen that fan-made classic Thomas & Friends episode called "Bertha", written by Mainland Studios (Cameron Bramley)? It's about a large and strong new tender engine with 10 driving wheels named Bertha, who came to Sir Topham Hatt's Railway to help push heavy trains up Gordon's Hill, and had been misjudged by Bill & Ben the Tank Engine Twins. Also, have you ever seen his other classic fan-made Thomas episode called "Spiteful Gesture", when Edward the Blue Engine was being bullied by No. 98462, a rude and arrogant big blue tender engine loaned on trial. That story took place between "Edward's Day Out" and "Edward & Gordon". I was wondering if you would ever like to play music for Bertha the Banker Engine's theme, and No. 98462's theme as well one day. What do you really think about that? Here are the links of Mainland Studios' two fan-made classic Thomas the Tank Engine episodes, "Big Bertha" and "Spiteful Gesture" for you to watch and enjoy, along with the music themes of Bertha the Banker Engine, and No. 98462 for you to listen to. I hope you'll like them, my friend! 🚂🛤😉👍🎼💙 1. Big Bertha - th-cam.com/video/CRyD0RIDAGY/w-d-xo.html 2. Bertha's Theme - th-cam.com/video/b6gyUCz1Ojw/w-d-xo.html 3.

I want to be just like you. You are my inspiration in life, it maybe sounds like I'm exaggerating but i see in you the person i want became. Good job!
You totally can! I've been doing this 21 years (check out some of my older vids from 15 years ago lol). Just keep on practicing!
@@InstrumentManiac Thank you man. So far i only play, flute, piccolo, some recorders and ind of keyboard. Greetings from Venezuela :)
I also started on flute at 11, I still stick with it as my main, and I’m slowly garnering an orchestra’s worth of instruments.
You're living the musical life I wish to have someday. I made it a quest to learn every instrument I can and it's amazing to see a fellow doubler (i guess unongentupler in this case?). We're a small breed of musicians but a nonetheless powerful one. I hope to play it out to the extent that you have. :)
Luke, if you wanna see really cool brass instruments you should watch Trent Hamilton, he has this thing called: The Wall of Many Things and it has i think over 60 extremely rare brass instruments and its really cool. also ive been watching your videos for about 2 years (i think) and i forgot to subscribe, but ive been a long-time viewer and watching you inspired me to play 6 (once again i think, im pretty sure its somewhere in between 6 to 14) (i play: 1; Contrabass clarinet, 2; contrabass trombone (and bass and tenor trombone) 3; sousaphone (the general giant of brass) 4: violin, 5; harmonica, and last but definitely not least, the Schalmei (MartinsHorn))
Trent is great! Thanks for watching, sounds like you have a bunch of awesome instruments under your belt 👏
In the band hall duhh. 😂😂😂
In a serious note though, I have wondered that. At one point in time I had 21 instruments in my bed room, that was a fiasco.
I can relate to what you do on this channel. I usually reply to “what do you play?” with “yes.” However, it’s not absolute truth since I haven’t touched bagpipes, and I can count on one hand the number of times that I have played French horn. However-ever, I agree that instruments in a family use similar technique. Combine that with the basic knowledge of music theory learned with the first few instruments, and it’s entirely possible to extend that ability into a multitude of performance possibilities. I think the learning curve gets exponentially easier with this combination.
IMO, strings are fine as a beginning instrument to play since people have different aptitudes and styles of learning. Although it’s possible, I know it’s tougher to learn any instrument without instruction. Also, just like embouchure, a set of muscles need to be exercised and acclimated to the expectations of making it work.
Seeing what I can play, compared to what I want to keep around the house - I definitely don’t want to own that many instruments! I often borrow from friends or colleagues rather than having debts and storage problems. There’s just one room with racks… and I keep others that I’m currently performing on hand in other places… and some that are laying all over the house because intend to play them for fun…. I’m not at all sure that counts as a better system for storing. 🤦🏽♀️
Hopefully you will own more than 100 instruments. Add baritone and bass saxophone to your collection along with the sopranino sax. Plus add English horn and contrabassoon. A c soprano saxophone would also be good. A sarrusophone is also a good choice.
Bari sax is soooo awesome! I totally recommend!
You’re crushin it buddy, love this video
thanks bud!
I don't know if I'd be able to resist displaying the woodwind and brass instruments as well, even though it's not necessarily good for them to do so. I love instruments, though, despite being woefully inept at learning to play them myself. So I'd love to walk into a house that looks like it might be moonlighting as an instrument store. I sometimes miss those days when my sister was in band and we would go down to our local McFayden Music (which is now closed thanks to the 2007/8 market collapse) and browse their instruments while she was looking through their sheet music and picking up any accessories that she needed. I only got to go there a handful of times, but man was it amazing to see some of the professional grade flutes, trumpets, violins, clarinets, etc. Instruments can be, in and of themselves, a work of art. So even if I'm not competent enough to play them myself, I can still enjoy looking at them and listening to others play them.
Ahhh I want to live here- the number of instruments are my dream!!!
Ravel, Ravel, Ravel! Take a look at the Introduction and Allegro for harp, string quartet, flute and clarinet. It will change your life!
Glad the lick video came up! Definitely had to subscribe after that (fellow geologist...and occasionally a musician, but nowhere near as good or multi-talented!). Hope you're doing well.
I’m a percussionist and I’m currently trying to learn trumpet, but my mom thinks that I will lose all my percussion technique. Does learning a secondary instrument ruin the technique of your main instrument?
Not really, I play double bass and cello, bass guitars 4, 5 & 6 string, guitar, flute and tenor saxophone.
Pardon me for butting in, but I don't think so.
If you were to take up a wind instrument, there could be interferences (solvable with a good teacher) but trumpet and percussions? It's like saying that taking a driving licence for a lorry will ruin your bycicle skills.
no way, in many ways secondary instruments actually strengthen your primary and give you more exposure to music. i do piano, clarinet, bass clarinet, tenor sax, guitar, and recorder and knowledge of every instrument strengthens my musical ability as a whole. if you want to learn, go for it!
@@dholocronkeeper Totally agree with you on this. It not only reinforced what I'd already learnt but gave me a much better understanding of music theory and composition. Especially the cello which is the bass of the violin family.
Elgar in particular threw me a few curve balls, with the Enigma variations. I'd start in the bass clef and play, then turn over the page and suddenly i have to read in the baritone or alto clef.
Nah. 2ndary instruments usually let u see music in a different perspective and might - depending on the combination strengthen your previous instrument further in a way
What's up fellow Geo dude? (Some pun intended.. and technically I'm a geographer..). Very nice tour of the setup! Your home looks great too.
Haha nice one! Thanks :)
Wow! Very impressive! Have you tried some unusual/exotic instruments like ocarina, didgeridoo, koto etc?
I have seriously started with Bb clarinet at age 37. It's been 7 months now, and I want to lower my tones in the clarinet family: alto, bass, than contra alto. They're freaking expensive, so I keep an eye for used ones in good shape
if you get a tuba its gonna be very helpful if youre ever gonna do season 8-12 themes
Trombone player right here lol!❤️❤️
Thanks for took my question in tour video, i'm very happy
Good video, amazing to see how organised you keep all the instruments.
Do you still do the aerial exercises?
It would be lovely to see you perform the aerial skills to a piece of music you play with your various instruments, even a self composition to suit your dance.
Thanks David! Stopped doing aerial since it was too much stress on the shoulder, but still enjoy watching others perform :)
@@InstrumentManiac sorry to hear about your shoulder, your music is excellent thought, you bring so much happiness with it. Thank you for that. Bless you.
If you don't want to get a Baritone sax, how about a Bass sax. A whole octave lower than Tenor, and uses similar reeds as the Contrabass Clarinet.
Didn't realize till now that I got featured as a question, nice
This is exactly the one question I had after watching that video
I have a suggestion for an instrument. Get a Viola de Gamba.
and yes, low battery is my favorite!!!!
And people call me crazy for playing violin and viola, you are a genious
Thanks for the really cool video. I would think I time travelled if I saw a guy in my street playing harp by the window in cool summer breeze.
You are very talented and funny at the same time..
This is a great flex to show when there are visitors in your house or something.
Very neat and organised. 😀
Thank you! 😊
What about the 22 new instruments?
IM SO READY FOR THAT BANDWGON
I dont know If you take requests but a nice video suggestion would be a ''neji vr hinata'' theme flute cover the compositor of this song absolutly nailed on the flute part
Where’s the Contrabass Flute? I love your videos!
YAHOO! number 8 😎 Thanks for the tips.
Band Director: So what instrument do you want to play?
InstrumentManiac: All.
Also you might want to get a baritone sax.
Its the best instrument in my opinion.
I play flute right now for the BR band in Michigan. There are 12 of us flutes
This Is one of the coolest musical channels I have ever seen!! I was wondering, about how hard do you think it is to switch from flute to piccolo? Thanks always.
when your instruments are of equal worth as your house (such a cool video!)
Hey Luke, have you ever seen that fan-made classic Thomas & Friends episode called "Bertha", written by Mainland Studios (Cameron Bramley)? It's about a large and strong new tender engine with 10 driving wheels named Bertha, who came to Sir Topham Hatt's Railway to help push heavy trains up Gordon's Hill, and had been misjudged by Bill & Ben the Tank Engine Twins. Also, have you ever seen his other classic fan-made Thomas episode called "Spiteful Gesture", when Edward the Blue Engine was being bullied by No. 98462, a rude and arrogant big blue tender engine loaned on trial. That story took place between "Edward's Day Out" and "Edward & Gordon". I was wondering if you would ever like to play music for Bertha the Banker Engine's theme, and No. 98462's theme as well one day. What do you really think about that?
Here are the links of Mainland Studios' two fan-made classic Thomas the Tank Engine episodes, "Big Bertha" and "Spiteful Gesture" for you to watch and enjoy, along with the music themes of Bertha the Banker Engine, and No. 98462 for you to listen to. I hope you'll like them, my friend! 🚂🛤😉👍🎼💙

geologist? Wow! Very unexpected. I thought your work had to involve your musical skills.
Awesome video
ayy this channel is great! love the stuff :D defo a new sub
Make a video of how you get all your instruments of the storage
wow, you are such a talent. I am learning cello since 2 years and I found it's super hard. How can you learn so many instruments? What's your favorite instrument?
Probably these days it's harp but I like 'em all! It helps to have done it for 20+ years 😂
Keep on practicin!
@@InstrumentManiac do you wanna try some Chinese instruments? I can probably offer you one lol
Every trombonist waiting for trombone lick:
Istrumentmaniac:
I love the living room/kitchen area
