Found by our friend and high class guitarist-ukulelist Herman Vandecauter, the video of this incredible instrument, the Majestic Bellowphone. In this video, its inventor, Mr. Leonard Solomon (see this article), plays the Hungarian Dance by Johannes Brahms, and whistles some notes on a purple Humanatone: at 0'51 and at 1'51.
Hurray!!!!!!
ReplyDeletePerfect jerky movement and great facial expression whilst playing this lovely performance with superb dynamics. Tom Waits meets van der Graaf generator! Perfect mix between Trautonium & Skiffle board!
Hear the ticking of the clock...:-)
I think Herman could do with a Bocarina, in the same fashion as UkeHeidi's skiffle board, but I am already a great fan!!! I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteHello Maikel: there is a mistake here! Herman *found* the video. But the inventor of the bellowphone that you can see on the video is Mr. Leonard Solomon.
DeleteHerman Vandecauter, you are a triple talent: inventor, instrument builder and musician. The organpart I prefer. The bellowphonepart needs a better noseflute (Bocarina or the classical roundback) My congratulations ! Noseflutejob (YouTube)
