@@Anvil_knockerbells have TONS of overtones. I think it might be something similar here. You’ll probably just have to compare its sound to something already in tune and match it up.
If you are wondering about the pitch of the triangle, there's multiple harmonics in there that give a pretty dense sound. However I can tell you the root note is probably D, with upper harmonics like A notes in there. Best of my absolute pitch ability here but you did a great job! I love how rich it sounds.
For those who don’t know what absolute pitch is: it’s the ability to have notes memorized, which, to me, is the most impressive thing for a musician in general. There might be more impressive things for specific instruments, but god damn, it’s damn near impossible to get absolute pitch. Trust me, I’ve tried to train for relative pitch (knowing notes in relation to each other, which, if combined with having a note memorized, is makeshift absolute pitch), and that’s hard enough Props to this guy for sure, even if it’s a genetic thing
the "spirales" on the ends of the triangle and the uneven sides make it sound on three simmilar but different frequencies at once. that's the reason, why your tunerapp can't lock onto one of them. nontheless it sounds cool and unique. :)
I didn’t think about how the spirals being different sizes would mess up the tuning, I was mostly just thinking it would look cool. But you make a very good point, I bet it’s multi phonic
Percussionist here!! I absolutely love this!! Here are more detailed thoughts on the long form video that people should go watch!!! I FREAKING LOVE TRIANGLE. IT'S SO AMAZING AND ALSO SO ANNOYING TO PLAY. LIKE CONSTANTLY TRYING TO STRANGLE A SLOWLY SPINNING SNAKE. IT'S THE BEST. He did a really good job with it too! I agree with one comment that the different sized spirals are probably affecting the tone/pitch. However, triangles also just Be Like That™ Different side lengths, metal thickness, as well as beater thickness all change the sounds in varying ways. Larger sides, deeper sound. (We had a giant triangle that was like, almost a foot on each side. Loved that ugly ass Bass Triangle. Sounded like shit lmao.) For professional concert purposes, it would not be up to standards. But for loud noise to ring for dinner? He killed it!! Amazing job 🧡 now Cowbell Bigger is better in my opinion. And to get that deeper sorta **clunk** noise, he'd need a bigger base. That is usually more for the instrument side i believe, as you also want room for it to resonate more and space between your hand and the stick. Cause holy cow (bell) it *hurts* hitting yourself with a drum stick. Especially a marching stick. *shudders.* But Again, for his purposes, as well as one for actually being on a cow with the "jangly bits", i think he did a wonderful job. Very happy noise for a happy video! Thank you for sharing your joy and may your next project go smoothly and ring true 🧡
Ça c'est bon!! ⚜️ I'm a Cajun Musician and play the triangle (the "Petit Frére) as 1 of my percussive instruments. There's a specific technique. Not a dinner bell 🤣 Looks & sounds great. Great work! 🔥
This is a really cool video :D The triangle sounds very cool and looks beautiful If you want an idea for a simple-ish metal instrument you could make that would make different notes, you could try to make a kalimba (thumb piano)!! though i think you need some kind of body for acoustics, and most are wood, it would be cool to see you make something less percussive and more melodic! Another metal instrument idea is a tongue drum, but i think they are much more complicated/hard to create because they are rounded (but i adore the sound they make)
It doesnt play one note, it plays notes and overtones, especially since you've got those loops at the top. Each side is going to ring differently, as well as the loops
The triangle sounds surprisingly good for not being tuned
I know, I do wish I had a better tuner so that I could see what it actually was.

You have to tune a triangle i just use a speed square
How do you tune a triangle? Grind it away?

I for one like I like it when somebody talks about their craft where they're doing their work.
Thank you! I’ve never liked the videos where they just put music over it through the whole thing
The triangle has a lovely sound! The cowbell came out so cute! Wonderful job making art and music!
Thank you so much! Although I don’t know if I can consider what I do music… Other than the metronome of the hammer and anvil

Cowbell

My god, this is the most thoroughly kind comment I’ve ever gotten! Good luck with all your banging things together!
That little project wanting me to get back in to forging. Thanks for That.
I’m so glad to hear that, it’s never too late to rekindle an old hobby, or dive into a new one!

Triangle sounds great!
Thank you!
The cowbell brings me back to ski racing days 😌
I’ve heard that people ring cowbell instead of clapping while racers are going down the hill, I wonder what cultural aspects influence that
Now I wonder whether it makes a noticable difference in the triangles sound when you do/do not harden it.
1.31... you really showed you got the balls to do this kind of work lmfao
In that particular scenario, a lack of balls would’ve been preferable…
2:50 that;s because it's playing 3 notes very close to each other.
This is a really cool video :D The triangle sounds very cool and looks beautiful

Every video you release is a banger
Ha ha get it ?
That was knocking around in my head for a bit, thank you for such a kind comment!
You're gonna make it big one day.
I hope you’re right! Thank you for the vote of confidence

0:33 "I went with six inches, just because it felt like a good size"
--that's what she said. 😂
0:36 it’s actually a big size, almost too big
Trust I played triangle for half a semester in middle school
The triangles pitch is very close to A, with a slight micro tone, which i cannot pinpoint.
You can call me to dinner any day!!
I’ll be sure to bring it for you sometime
🫶❤️🔥❤
Thank you!
Algorithm
Thank you so much! The algorithm can be very cruel to smaller creators like me, I’m very grateful for your help
