@@ransomzac hi Zac, thanks for your message. A minor major 7 is a minor triad with the major seventh on top. Sounds really cool. It is very much a real thing. Just have a quick Google if you're not sure
@@ulf5202 The basics are easy, but it can get complex, maybe not as much as a guitar, but then none of the instruments he listed are very hard to play at a basic level, ukulele is a lot of fun, I have 5 guitars, a mandolin, violin and 4 recorders too, and I can play a tune on all of them, but the ukulele is a great budget instrument that isn't too intimidating in the beginning, but can be taken to a very high level if you want.
I did bought one when i was visiting rajsthan india in 2017 i still have it but i actually got it for a good price from a very fancy musical shop but non of those from local street vendors which were cheap as hell.
I love this type of instrument, they are all so cool. I'm a melodica player, and I'm seriously considering getting a stylophone or a khalimba for Christmas!
i just brought the stylophone and heard it is quite easy to play, i did played years ago from a friend of mine and now after 40years i can finally get one of my own!
The mystery sound on the rollout piano (5:01) is called a "finger squeak" on guitar, where if you shift up the neck with your fingers dragging on the strings, you get that noise. They apparently took a sample and then pitch shifted it up and down to make a scale...?
Kalimba is the best! I bought one two months ago and I'm loving it. Unlike other instruments I've tried, I find myself playing kalimba more often because it's portable, quiet enough and really easy to play. Highly highly recommended!
I think harmonica and maybe recorder are the best cheap instruments. Recorder does get expensive if you want to play it professionally. However at harmonica 50$ will pretty much get you professional level instruments that great harmonica players used even decades ago. Of course there are custom 300$ harmonicas but you won't _really_ need them. Most professionals only have few of those. Be aware tho, if you get hooked up on them then they can get expensive since there are a lot of different keys and the more experienced you get you will blow them out sooner. But still they are super affordable. I don't know any other instrument where the same model serves both beginners and professionals.
Not sure if this has already been commented, but that sound effect you were struggling to recognise on the roll out piano was the sound of a finger running up or down a guitar string.
I got such great footage of a guy playing the blowing keyboard and guitar at the same time in Peru. Completely wonderful. Wondering if I should post it
Melodica should've been number one. The fact that you can't play it doesn't take away from the fact that it is a very expressive instrument that supports the full chromatic scale (unlike the diatonic scale of the kalimba), and it can be played as a lead instrument as well as accompaniment.
Funny made, thank you. Further super budget instruments are Kazoo (5 bucks) and noseflute (1 to 10, you would love it. edit: oh, I see you did! ). I love to play the Kalimba before I fall asleep. Makes me calm and peacy for the night.
Two instruments I feel I should be on this list are the 12 hole ocarina and the Yamaha YRF-21 Fife. The Ocarina is a bit pricier but easier to play, however the Fife is a little more than $10, and if you know how to play a flute you can get much more nuanced sounds out of it. With that face you can do about 80% of what you could do on a flute, however it sounds a little shrill compared to the flute or the Ocarina.
Went for a walk before filming this video and didn't notice I was sunburnt until I put the footage into Premiere 🤦♂️
I didn't realize you were sunburnt untill I read this 😂
I know I noticed. Ay, ay did what's your name done get at you yesterday?

Disclaimer: you cannot play the melodica or any kind of flute without lungs
aww man! Covid-19 just destroyed my lungs how do i play one now :(
@BIG KSHAQ okay so play piano or guitar
@BIG KSHAQ we can play girls bang too😗
@@weirdface3838 damn. I don’t have lungs! I really liked the melodica.
That means Hamon users are pro melodica players.

bddd
I also play w minors
Kazoo, Triangle, maracas, recorder, slide whistle and harmonica are all good candidates too.
Kalimba toooo!
I was waiting for him to play the office theme on the melodica…
@@keep_the_wheels_rollingsg8596 that one was in the vid
Not the recorder, a real recorder instrument can cost up to 15,000 dollars in wood and handmade ones go for more.
Where can I get a Kazoo
I love how this channel is centered around music instruments and James cant play a single one
That’s the truth. If you’re going to have someone review musical instruments by all means pick someone who singularly lacks an ear
Don't feel bad--I can't either.
At least he’s beginner friendly. Looking at amateur artist is a better motivation for me than listening to quotes from proffesionals.

what did you get?
*Kalimba
I was vibin' along with that pan pipe. Lootd can spit tunes!
I'm glad the kalimba made it to your list. Oh, I love the sound of it. It is fun to play too!
Got my kalimba a week ago, fun and easy to play.
what is he playing at 2:23 that shit has been stuck in my head for a year and can't seem to find it
Damn, I thought that harmonicas would be an obvious choice
i just brought the stylophone and heard it is quite easy to play, i did played years ago from a friend of mine and now after 40years i can finally get one of my own!
We used to have a GIANT roll-up piano that we would jump and run on to play it but sometimes we would use our hands
A let out a big smile when I saw the kalimba

5:01 is a guitar fret sound when you move your finger across a guitar string.
the otamatone should be on this list you can get a nice one from amazon for around 30 bucks
You should try out more of the pocket operator series my favourite is the po-33 ko
Will definitely get some more at some point
Great video! I like the Stylophone and the kalimba. At school (many years ago...) the melodica was my instrument at music class.
Oh yes! As a person who plays alot of insterments these are cool. Still out of my price range. You're deffentily getting better at playing them.
Oh my! Yay! Kalimba in on the list!! (≧∇≦)

Whats the song he played on the pan pipe the second one after that wii song or whatever it was
THANK YOU SO MUCH--- my cousin broke my Kalimba and I was so upset. I didn't know the name of the instrument and I couldn't find it for a while!!
I'm buying a digeridoo, my neighbours going to love me 😏
whats the instrument used in the intro of your video?
Is it just me or does the melodica sound alot like an accordian?
My kalimba came today. This IS a great choice. Cost $52 in a nice tropical hardwood.

Ocarinas are relatively cheap 10 - 25 $ on amazon. They can get pricey tho just remember you get what you pay for
They have limited notes though.
I love the stylophone and the synthesizer and I think 🤔 it’s so cool and unique
i love playing kalimbas

My favorite instrument (s) is the clarinet and the bassoon

Kalimbas are super fun, you dont even have to play a song you can just play random notes and it still sounds good

Good to know that you also know about the first (analog) sample based instrument.

where's the otamatone?
If you can play almost anything on the Kalimba without sounding bad, does that make it a Jazz Instrument?
