Oh my goodness I've just found my new role model! I'm 22 and currently have about 16 instruments I think. Scrolling through your channel I can see what I want to be like in a few more years. Thank you!
Great job!!👍🏾 I've never ever seen or heard or experienced an instrument of this magnitude. I believe God Inspired that lady to gift you with "that big bag" of instruments because He Gifted you to share His magnificence in blessing the rest of us! Thank Him & thank you for sharing your unique talent 😊
MANY instrument manufacturing companies went out of Business through the Great Depression. Before that, there were hundreds of piano makers alone. By 1940, there were less than a dozen left really.
Because the music -> symphonies became more demanding and the range and volume of the instruments increased. That's why instruments like the transverse flute were made of metal and with many keys. Since then, the wooden flute with finger holes and of course the recorder are no longer in the orchestra.
I always thought the original tension on the string (from a finger on a fret) made the sound. I never would have thought secondary tension did anything. / I never would have imagined a second bow in a simultaneous pass could create a harmony when run on the same set of strings. I would say it's a game changer, but I can't play any instruments. Maybe for the musicians in the audience it's an eye opener.
Now that's just amazing! You sound like an a whole band of mountain fiddlers all by yourself! You're truly gifted by the LORD, both with these beautiful instruments and the talent and ability to make them sing!
...no 'LORD' had anything to do with our artist's acquiring and learning to play her instruments...why must you godgoofs always need to credit some imaginary, cloud-mafia boss for the products of real people's work and credit some imaginary, cloud mafia boss
You are amazing! I don’t usually watch music vids on TH-cam, but I have watched six of your’s and am delighted. I thank you for taking the time to tell us about an instrument’s history before playing, it enriches the experience. I am not sure I will ever want to hear these carols any other way now. Thanks again for sharing 😊
Thank you for sharing that unusual instrument and it's voice as Ive a few instruments like that but have not the no how to show them on line, Seasons Greetings to you and yours.🎶🌈😎
That was remarkably good, especially with the extra bow! Wow! You may have just played that instrument in a way that no one else has done in human history! Can you imagine that? Awesome!
I'll admit I clicked because i thought you had a really neat name, and I'm glad I did! Thank you for doing these, I'm going to have a good time exploring the rest of your videos!
Incredible! A magical instrument fairy god-mother, a sorcerer double-bow maker, and music like never heard before, this video has it all! Thank you for sharing this magical story and instrument! 💐🎄💕
🫡😉🤍🕊🤍 As my musically gifted friends Adriane (piano and voice) and Helen (vibraphone and voice) used to say....Holy Wow! They have both Flown Up 🕊✨️🌈✨️ in the past year, and I've been missing their Sweet voices...but it feels like they are both here tonight, appreciating the flow of Grace that brought your wonderful videos and vintage🎻🎻📯🪗🥁 instruments to me. Thank you for encouraging a Reunion with my Dear Girls. 🕊🌲🌲🌲🪷🎄✨️🎇🌠🌌🌹🕯🩷💖🤍🕊🌲 May your fingers fly with love. 💖
@DeeDee Tibbits , wow , you have some fun instruments . I enjoyed the Navajo flute. And Austrian harp. We have a banjolin in the family . It is a mandolin sized banjo. I'm not sure how to fix tune or play it. The bridge is loose. It's seems really crazy but we may be related. Great maternal grandmother was a Tibbits from Kansas City Brothers Paul and Laffy Tibbits . We must be related to Captian Tibbits of the Enola Gay fame . His pilot's log book or diary is at the Smithsonian , I think Are you related to this famous Pilot also??
Holy Toledo, What a gorgeous three-part harmony sound with those special bows. It sounds like a bunch of jingle bells jingling along with it in addition to the wonderful music. “On Dasher, on Dancer”…etc.!
Wasn't it great that companies made instruments for people to learn and enjoy, rather than apps to aimlessly watch? Your playing is wonderful, thanks for sharing.
Goodness me, what a delightful Yuletide chance discovery you and your posts are. I must tell all my fellow folk music friends about you. The amazing American ingenuity of both inventing and adapting musical instruments for their own particular requirements deserves a book of its own. From simple plantation gourd banjo predecessor to the addition of the 5th drone string to Earl Scruggs, from back street mandolin buskers in Naples to Bill Munro and bluegrass. A whole great story waiting to be told. You are telling it in your own way through actual demonstrations. Bless you and Christmas greetings from Wiltshire in England.
I’ve seen some other instruments in this style, and holy cow, the double bow is SO COOL!!!! Reminds me of the double- or triple-mallet techniques on marimba. I think it really elevates the instrument into a lot more possibilities for application to more particular (as opposed to just recreational) music-making!! Great idea on your part, and great craftsmanship from your friend!!!
Hi, DeeDee... Thank you SO much for all your beautiful musical offerings on your many gorgeous instruments! I just discovered you here on TH-cam yesterday & I'm so glad I did! Do you think you'll do DVDs along with your CDs & downloads so you playing the instruments can be seen also? Thanks again & enjoy!!! 🎼🎶🎵🎶
That was amazing. I was a music major and I played several instruments, but I’ve never heard of that instrument before. And thank you for sharing with us how it works and even playing it. That thing sounds beautiful and it’s just amazing and you’re an amazing teacher. I’ll bet you were a fantastic Music Teacher, I got along very well with my teachers and junior high and high school and thank you so much again for introducing us to that wonderful instrument that is truly fabulous
I have genuinely never heard one of these played.
TH-cam recommendation that doesn't disappoint. Thank you!
As a musician myself, i have to say, You are a treasure. Thank you for sharing your music and knowledge of music. You are an angel.
Wow, thank you!
If a mountain dulcimer had a child with an autoharp, this would be it.
Ha Ha that’s true
@rebekahlouk8019 made U laugh 😃

Same!! I'm 28 and have 9 or 10... I'm so glad youtube recommended us her channel! She's just a star lol
16 different kinds of instruments or 16 of the same kind? I've got quite a few myself.
Fascinating! You can tune and play instruments I've never heard of!
23 with like 5, but making my way up there!!! Go team 💪
Impressive lady!
Charm School..
Thanks .Blessings .Love Ya..
I guess the biggest question is why didn’t many of these instruments survive to our modern day orchestras? They all have such unique sounds.
MANY instrument manufacturing companies went out of
Business through the Great Depression. Before that, there were hundreds of piano makers alone. By 1940, there were less than a dozen left really.
These instruments are beautiful!!!! You play beautifully, and to know how to use these vintage instruments is very impressive!¡😊
Because the music -> symphonies became more demanding and the range and volume of the instruments increased. That's why instruments like the transverse flute were made of metal and with many keys. Since then, the wooden flute with finger holes and of course the recorder are no longer in the orchestra.
Someone needs to create an orchestra of many of these beautiful instruments.
DeeDee please make merch (shirts, keychains, hats) I'm sure everyone would like to wear them and support your channel.
You would be a joy to live with.
Wow, you have great knowledge 👍and skills. I wish you were my neighbor, growing up. 😀
What a unique instrument. The double bow was wonderful!

My dad had a violin-uke! We messed around with it as children, but never proficiently. So great to actually hear one played!
Thank you 🎉this was interesting

Wow. You have just blown me away. Thanks so much
Another unique instrument, that Lady definitely gave it to the right person!

You’re welcome! Thanks for your kind words!
Thank you 😊
You are amazing !!😮
I love interesting instruments! I think we underestimate what beautiful kinds of music there were in more ancient times.
🎉❤ thanks for sharing your love of all things music. You make learning fun😅
Merry Christmas from the UK for 2024 🎄🎆
It’s SO GREAT to hear from other countries🎁🎄
I was expecting Jingle Bells to be played on bells. Lol Beautiful playing!
I’m so glad TH-cam recommended me your channel. Excellent 🥳
Sounds like an accordion and bagpipe mix. Thanks for sharing. I've never heard anything like it. It's beautiful
That was wonderful 😊
I’m eagerly awaiting the Hurdy Gurdy episode
Thank you for sharing that unusual instrument and it's voice as Ive a few instruments like that but have not the no how to show them on line, Seasons Greetings to you and yours.🎶🌈😎
Well..at 68 I'm learning about new (old) instruments...Great! Love your channel, will subb today! Merry Christmas!😊

Thank you for sharing your special gift. I am amazed with your knowledge of these vintage insturments.
I wish people would just drop old unique instruments at my door 😔 great rendition!
this is so cool, I've never heard of this instrument before! Thanks for sharing!! :D
That was remarkably good, especially with the extra bow! Wow! You may have just played that instrument in a way that no one else has done in human history! Can you imagine that? Awesome!
The triple bow effect kinda makes it sound like a harmonica. Cool instrument!
😆 I remember seeing your channel before and now it's been recommended to me again so now I'm binge watching all your videos lol
I'll admit I clicked because i thought you had a really neat name, and I'm glad I did! Thank you for doing these, I'm going to have a good time exploring the rest of your videos!
I found her channel. Started at the top of the list and working my way down to the bottom of the list. My heart is warm and my face is smiling
Incredible! A magical instrument fairy god-mother, a sorcerer double-bow maker, and music like never heard before, this video has it all! Thank you for sharing this magical story and instrument! 💐🎄💕

Fantastic!
Gosh, I bet the Beatles could have made some really AWESOME music with some of those unique musical instruments. 😊❤
It reminds me of a shamasen but this is more shrill. A bowed dulcimer is nice too.
Adorable. The music is nice too. 😊
Holy Toledo,
What a gorgeous three-part harmony sound with those special bows. It sounds like a bunch of jingle bells jingling along with it in addition to the wonderful music.
“On Dasher, on Dancer”…etc.!
Wow! What fun you must have being able to play all of the different instruments so beautifully ! Thank you!
Cool. Love the triple bow effect.
I'm loving these videos. you seem like you are such a great music teacher!
Simply amazing. Thank you.
Amazing music, thank you for this!
Wasn't it great that companies made instruments for people to learn and enjoy, rather than apps to aimlessly watch? Your playing is wonderful, thanks for sharing.
I loved the double bow it sounded so joyful, what an interesting instrument.
Lovely.. it looks like a modern developer of a psaltery.
That's pretty much what I thought, when I first heard it.
😯 Incredible. What a treasure.
Loved the sound of the double bow. 😃
You are amazing! 😊
That was amazing. I’ve never seen an instrument like that before.
You are so talented thank you for sharing this with us! It’s so amazing!
I LOVE THIS!!!
Excellent,well played
Now I want one 😍😍😍😍😍 that is AMAZING!!!!!
Thank you Dee Dee for educating and entertaining us!
Merry Christmas!
Thank You once again. This is such a Joy, to hear you play these antique and vintage instruments is such a Treasure. Thank You once again. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You're very welcome! 😊
Amazing. Lady you were born to play. Ty
Haha! I think so too!🎶
You played that well
Oh, I do hope you're teaching.
Absolutely incredible! You are Amazing ! 💕
So creative using another bow at the same time. Fun to hear how other instruments sound. Thanks! :)
Perhaps Julian and Sean Lennon, James McCartney, and Dhani Harrison could form a group and use some of your instruments, ma'am. 😊❤
Sound great thanks for sharing Total awesome enjoyed so much.

Like the 3 bow sound better. Well done!
It sounds so beautiful❤
Ms. DeeDee, I love your WONDERFUL videos! You are a genuine artiste! Thanks so much for posting.

Do you think you'll do DVDs along with your CDs & downloads so you playing the instruments can be seen also? Thanks again & enjoy!!! 🎼🎶🎵🎶
My goodness you are so accomplished on so many instruments. I’m in awe.
So impressive! Luckily I stumbled upon your videos, you are my new favorite!❤
Thank you for continuing your teaching here on TH-cam!
I love your hammered dulcimer playing, and your fun with other unusual vintage instruments.
This sounds very similar to a bowed psaltery.
It is….they just added the chord at the bottom, so you can have the accompaniment too🎶
Good stuff.
Oh wow! That sounds fantastic! Love the double harp ‘Country & Western’ rendition!
Awesome instrument
Okay, now I’m just filled with instrument envy!
This was great. Thank you!
Beautiful
GREAT MAM, YOU ARE GREAT, what a fantastic instrument !
It REALLY is fun to try to find the RIGHT tunes to play on it! Christmas is especially great for that🎶🎁
That was amazing. I was a music major and I played several instruments, but I’ve never heard of that instrument before. And thank you for sharing with us how it works and even playing it.

That is amazing! Thank you Dee Dee.
I own a similar instrument called the violin-uke. I never learned how to play it though.
Absolutely great! I've never seen nor heard of this instrument (nothing new about that! ha).
I love introducing people to new instruments! Some have even decided to learn it🎶👍
I have a bowed psaltery but it can’t play chords! This is so cool!
Hi thank you 😇
Thanks!
Nice !
