Imagine what modifications to this instrument could do. Like letting the sound resonate through water or a tank of liquid nitrogen. Or different stiffness springs. different types of drums
I very happy that someone is finally giving this instrument a platform and you still give the creator of this instrument the credit he deserves when I found Gorkem Sem back in high school I never thought anyone would create their own and promote it.
@@ianhoneymanmusic Its truly is I can't wait for it to be out in the world as a real instrument for the world to own and play I myself would love a chance to play the Yabahar.
This Instrument belongs at the top of some hill overlooking a valley, with a river flowing through it and thick clouds obscuring and revealing the towering peaks surrounding the valley.
I built one of these a couple of years ago. One of the best feelings is playing an instrument you made yourself. It now has given me ideas on designing and building more unique instruments. Have you considered creating more instruments Ian? I wonder what this would sound like combining parts of the the yaybahar with a hurdy gurdy. Like the springs and drums. A yaybagurdy! If you ever build something like that or other instruments please show it off! :D
@@kalel3336 Try shops with equipment for physics teachers, lots of springs or metal slinkies (maybe cheap plastic slinky spring would be an option too). Or let's try pipe cleaning spirals!
I love this! I got track of this through Gary Numan. On his forthcoming Album called Intruder, there’s a guy called Görkem Sen, and from what I read is that he invented this Yaybahar...?
This is wonderful! The deep base vibrates in my bones! The possible sound effects have been thoroughly demonstrated, so, can someone please play some actual music on it? Like known cello pieces? Please? It will make me SO happy!😊
Great demo and thanks for sharing your insight and build regarding the instrument! Ian, could you comment on the yaybahar as an acoustic instrument within the context of chamber music, say a string quartet? I'm curious how one would fare against classical strings, specifically when unamplified.
I think it could work really well and make for an interesting ensemble, but it's not the loudest instrument so it might have trouble cutting through when strings are playing loud.
Could you please make a Video on how to build one or only the materials. I fell in love with this Instrument the first time I heard it and I would love to build one myself since I couldn't find one to buy neither something that could help me to build one
I need to see this instrument more. With other instruments. It is so atmospheric... I can only imagine the feel it could give to string portions of orchestra. That echoing and bassy reverb(is that rhe correct term?) is intoxicating.
Hi Ian, looks great! Just don't fully understand how you attached the springs to the strings. Do the strings rest on the metal bridge, and the springs are attached to the bridge? If it is just 1 bridge, would the sound get murky since both springs are attached to the same bridge? Thanks!
Hi would you be interested in making a tutorial on the build you used and what easy mistakes to avoid. If you don't want to that's also ok no pressure.
Please PLEASE PLEASE get hanz zimmer to discover this beutiful instrument so it can be used in the music of DUNE!!!!! There is no more fitting instrument for the film adaptation of the books! A sound inspired by instruments passed down from all parts of the world, but with an alien, ancient and timeless sound that perfectly matches the expansive universe and lore that the books portray
I would absolutely love to hear your story one day! I myself have a story in the works, and I love hearing what other people have to share. This yayhabar is seriously inspiring, i feel like it could be used for some ancient civilization that disappeared, or maybe the last humans on earth reconnecting with nature after some disaster and making this instrument from the rubble... damn, now I’ve got myself going lol
@@CatchThesePaws My story won't be done for quite some time :( Just curious though, but what kind of genre and theme is your story? Or at least your favorite author of inspiration.
@@monstar4 well my story is hella complicated, (and depressing bcz i started the story when i was a more depressed person) but the most basic summary i can give is; two boys grow up together in catholic school, get feelings for each other and hide it from their conservative town, and then the main character out of the two ✨gets sick and dies at 20✨ (so wholesome yay) aaand then-- since i was edgy and the story came after the character, who was a demon-- goes to hell, BUT WAit- he finds out there's a way to go back to the "overworld" by (and this part still needs work so it could change in the future) by becoming a 'knight' for Lucifer, who goes by Lucy because this is an LGBT+ story of course he goes by that, so Noah eventually, in a very roundabout way, becomes a knight. Knights gotta be in groups of 3 or more so each member can make sure they're doing their job. But Noah breaks the rules to be with Jax (his partner) but he gets in serious trouble once his group finds out. The rest is fuzzy but eventually things get sorted out. There's no definite ending to the story but it works out in a happy way for them :) *gasps* YEAhp- its a lot, thanks for asking lol, can you share your story next?
@@CatchThesePaws Holly cow, that's pretty intense! My story isn't as complicated or deep... It's about a boy who is born a half demon. Throughout his entire life hes treated unfairly and unjustly. He eventually motivates himself to try his hardest to prove to everyone that he isn't the kind of demon everyone makes him out to be. He tries to do this by helping out other kingdoms and Nations with a world wide threat. The more people/kingdoms he helps, the more suspicious he becomes to them. Everone eventually accuses him of being an enemy spy, and they turn against him. This pushes him over the edge where he starts to consider joining the very enemies he was fighting in the beginning. My main character then has no choice but to leave the good side (the side that hates him). And join the bad side (the side that accepts him as a demon). In the end, there's alot of people/friends dying. Alot of characters regretting. And the main character realizing that you don't have to be whatever people act like you are. It's a little rough, and hard to explain. But that's the main plot of the story.
@@monstar4 I love that so much! I like the fact that you’re acknowledging both sides, lots of stories only follow one side and never explore what the other is like. It’s funny how so many stories by gen Z’s that I’ve heard have demons as main or side characters! Like these inherently evil beings being portrayed as misunderstood and not wanting to be evil... it’s either inquisitive that we choose to write about underdogs treated like monsters or we just like edgy husbanos/waifus lmfao
I'm amazed to see that someone recreated this monster of an instrument. I'd love to hear it through some distortion/in a metal context
Reminds me a quote from Tesla: "If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.”
Great quote!
Resistance or friction is pretty helpful too
The Beach Boys also mentioned that
I was really hoping someone would use this amazingly transcendental instrument for film scores

Perfect indeed for today's dystopian movie scores
Thanks!!
Hauntingly beautiful. Wish I could afford one. Great build.
Make one like he did!
thank you! It was not expensive to build, just took a while to figure out.
I love it

I've always wanted to build one of these myself
That's pretty mental. It's an instrument that I wouldn't mind playing lol
Reminds me of the music from Midsummer and Hereditary, both of the movies are horror masterpieces.
Could you please make a Video on how to build one or only the materials. I fell in love with this Instrument the first time I heard it and I would love to build one myself since I couldn't find one to buy neither something that could help me to build one

@@ianhoneymanmusic thank you so much
i wonder if a six string "guitarbahar" would function as a plucked instrument using the spring/skin treatment?
You should totally try that out. I'd love to hear the result !
Stunning... But how are the springs attached to the drums? Nail through the membrane or glued to it?
Bro what the fuck how does an instrument met literal tie wraps sound so good
🤣right?
what instrument do you play?
THE FENCE POST!
I need to see this instrument more. With other instruments. It is so atmospheric... I can only imagine the feel it could give to string portions of orchestra. That echoing and bassy reverb(is that rhe correct term?) is intoxicating.
Thank you! I love it too!

Yep that’s right! That way worked the best for me. If you come up with an alternate let me know!
Sounds like score from Tenet

I wrote a blog post about it! Check it out here: ianhoneyman.com/2016/08/17/yaybahar/
Now… did you make that sound at the end with that instrument? Or was that just a closing tune from the internet :0

This sounds like it would be used to make music for Gears 5
could be perfect!
are there any songs you made with the instruments ?
Yes! Check my youtube for "into darkness"
I would love to hire you and Gorkem for a movie please HMU!
which 2 cello strings did you use?
is the string you are playing attached to the coiled string or is coiled string just taking vibration from the body?
The strings are attached to the springs with a bridge.
Tom Cruise? Is that you?
😂
Gorkım sen?
Your drums are backwards from the original design.
Good lord give it to Hans Zimmer IMMEDIATELY
right away! 🤘
This is some Blade Runner shit
Love that!
