Wow what a stunning discovery. Ill practice this make brother
This instrument is called sipsi. Sipsi is a clarinet-like, single-reed instrument used mainly in folk music and native to the Aegean region of Greece and Turkey. So its possible that the maltesian discovered for themselfs from the greeks. The word sipsi is possibly onomatopoeic. The sipsi can be made of bone, wood, or reed, though the reed variant is most common. Its size varies from region to region, but it generally contains five finger holes in the front, and one finger hole in the back.
The sipsi is one of many reed instruments in Turkey used to play lead melodies in instrumental folk music. It is generally played in the Western partin the Aegean Region of Turkey.Most folk tunes played in this area with the sipsi are in 9/8 time.
They had some Turkish influence I guess
This type of woodwind instrument can be found in the Mediterranean and Near East, and the sipsi has existed in Turkey for thousands of years. The Phoenicians had a big trade network covering all of the Mediterranean and in ancient times they might have taken this kind of woodwind instrument to different places, including Malta. The Greeks had the _aulos_ and this one might have also reached Malta, either from Greece or from their trading posts in Sicily.
In China, there are also two similar clarinet verticle instruments: the Qiang di (Qiang flute) of the Qiang nationality and the Dong Dong Kui of the Tujia nationality. They have common characteristics: a single inverse reed being cut at the closed bottom of the instrument though Qiangdi is double-piped while Dong Dong Kui is single-piped. When playing with the tools, you should wrap the top (open end) of the reed by your mouth. In my point of view, in a broad sense, all of them are clarinets, just like the Zummara and the modern clarinet in the orchestra. These instruments may have common ancestors.
Thankyou very much for this video. I've been looking for a video about how to make these reeds for a while. 👍
We have similar instrument from Minangkabau ethnicity called Sarunai/Serunai..... usually made out off bamboo....I made one out of young cassava branch as school project
Thank you sir
So if you glue two of these together you get a Mijwiz?
شرحك مبدع❤🌹
There is a similiar instrument like that from Tapanuli selatan, Sumatera Utara, Indonesia. It called Saleot. But saleot has 5 hole note.
My suggest is, you need to make more thin in the end of reed (in the back of bamboo). And need more patient to make it.
amazing
Thank you :)
Welcome :)
Greetings. I bought a goat horn instrument like this (single reed) in Morocco. Any tips on how to get a sound out of the reed?
Any suggestions to where I could find bamboo for purchase?
blessings to you
like a Traditional West sumatran Trumpet, Pupuik Sarunai
Thanx sir
In Turkey it's called ''Sipsi''. You can search this word and listen.
thanks, I found a few videos already... need to learn the circular breathing
@@ArminHirmer You're welcome. Circular breathing using for "Zurna" too. Zurna is more difficult instrument. You can find a lot of videos about this instrument. 👍🏻
Dear sir how to make this mouthpease
Nice pro
thanks
Is the mouth side of the reed blocked or open
blocked, you need to have a nod from the reed there
Armin Hirmer is it blocked the whole way up the reed
the mouthpiece is 5-6 cm long. the mouth side is blocked. On the top you have to cut a membrane part. so when you blow, the air only goes through that part and creates the sound
I'm collecting videos to design my own musical instrument based on a mirliton. I hadn't considered a reversed reed (air hole forward). It has a surprisingly low tonal range. This may help - thanks for the video.
Is it hollow on both ends of the mouthpiece ?
waaa blo
Like a saxophone. Very nice.
Your cutting is giving me anxiety
Does it matter if the holes are a tiny bit bigger
they change their tone if you change the size, this is how you can fine-tune your flute
Thanks
I just made it and my teacher loved it
great, I am happy for you :)
Baba sipsi caliyor
look like羌笛
Of course, like 羌笛 Zummara and Mijiwiz, all have two pipes and single reed😄
