Membrane Clarinet Success

00:53

[00:01] instruments, like this wicked 3D printed guitar, or this extremely loud air horn that fits in your pocket. I even printed this brand new musical invention. This is the first instrument we printed. IT'S A SLIDE WHISTLE.

[00:19] WHOA, this looks so cool. This is a 3D printed trumpet. Well, technically a bugle horn, but first we have to take off these supports. Luckily, I already had a trumpet mouthpiece, and I think it fits

[00:31] perfectly. Do not judge me. I have never played a bugle before. neighborhood. I'm about to get in trouble.

[00:53] of. This is called a membrane clarinet. I had to 3D print a bunch of pieces, and then it all screwed together. Then we secured a little bit of plastic bag school, so I should know a thing or two about the clarinet. Okay, these

[01:05] about the clarinet. Okay, these fingerings are not like a clarinet. fingerings are not like a clarinet. Yo, it sounds kind of good. Oh my gosh, that actually sounds like a clarinet.

[01:34] hundreds of dollars on a clarinet, you could just 3D print one. This next instrument is literally a brand new musical instrument. This is called the glissopipe. The best way I can describe this thing is like if a recorder and an

[01:46] otamatone had a baby. And here you can really see the difference between a just has the holes that you cover up, and it sounds like this.

[01:59] can't. There's nothing you can really do about it. You can't go whoop. But on the glissophone, not only can you play notes glissophone, not only can you play notes just like a recorder,

[02:22] There's also multiple sizes. You can get the small one or the large one.

[02:46] excited to announce this limited edition Recorder Squad glissophone. I made this limited edition have the colors of the Bombeast from My Singing Monsters. You've got the green, the purple, the blue. If you've seen my videos before,

[02:58] you know a lot of us play the recorder. So we have the Recorder Squad put right There's a link in the description where you can purchase one of these for yourself. Plus, if you purchase a Recorder Squad glissophone from the

[03:10] Kickstarter link in the description, you will also be entered in to win a Prusa i3 MK2S 3D printer. This is the printer that I used to print off all of my instruments and is what Glissonic used to make their glissophone. You will also

[03:22] get a signed certificate from me with your Recorder Squad glissophone. If check out the link in the description. All right, this is a portable air horn. I only had to print off these three pieces, but this piece of plastic is the

[03:35] special ingredient. Apparently, you just wrap the plastic around this and insert is it will never run out of sound. A normal air horn uses pressurized gas when you press down on the horn. But eventually that gas runs out. But this

[03:48] go test it outside. Okay, we have a decibel reader right here. Let's see how decibel reader right here. Let's see how loud THIS THING GETS. 112 dB. And with this air horn, you'll never run out of gas. And you'll never

[04:03] one last forever. This is a spoon that I 3D printed so I could eat my cereal. But these are musical spoons. It's literally just like two spoons put together. I've seen people like pop off and just go

[04:16] crazy playing the musical spoons. But I have no clue how to do this. Okay, so it says put index finger here and put your thumb on top. And then it says bang it thumb on top. And then it says bang it on your leg like this.

[04:38] That's weird. So you can actually like use your fingers and then you can end on your leg. This is kind of sick.

[04:50] cooked right there on the spoons and I think I deserve a subscribe. Just a just a little subscribe. Just a little click. Just a little click. Okay, I don't know anything about this instrument. This is called a duduk, I think. A duduk. And

[05:04] this is a duduk reed. I found the file for this duduk and printed it off, then to order a duduk reed. But I think all we do is just slide that reed right there. I've played instruments with reeds like the clarinet and saxophone,

[05:19] but never never with like two reeds on top. right, it kind of smells like an animal or something, but I I'm just going to or something, but I I'm just going to try to play it now.

[05:45] What is the duduk supposed to sound like?

[05:59] people do on this. So, while taking my YouTube duduk lessons, I learned that apparently you have to keep adjusting this mouthpiece. The reed will actually separate or grow closer to each other and you have to adjust as you play.

[06:21] but this is very hard to play. So, let's move on to the next instrument. This instrument actually uses a soprano saxophone mouthpiece, so I guess technically it's a saxophone, but I like to call it the curvy clarinet cuz it's

[06:33] curvy. Okay, it only has five holes. Let's go ahead and try it out.

[06:46] needed to add some cork right here. So, we have some cork in it now.

[07:06] Ah, the holes aren't in a straight line, so it's kind of strange. Correct me if I'm wrong, it sounds like a minor pentatonic scale.

[07:19] You can bend notes on this. I can't do this on my clarinet as well.

[07:35] Like this is really fun to play. If you already have a soprano sax, go print out the curvy clarinet. Okay, so next instrument just finished printing off. This is a double chamber ocarina. I've never used one, so let's go try it out.

[07:48] In our last video, we printed off this ocarina, which I know how to play and it ocarina, which I know how to play and it sounds like this. more holes and it even has two mouthpiece holes.

[08:02] Wow. This is like a drone flute ocarina or something. Okay, this is cool. You can play your normal ocarina notes.

[08:17] And I think I can get some cool harmonies if I play into both. going to have to practice this some more. I can still play Zelda though.

[08:37] probably seen me use these before. These are drone flutes. These are so easy to play. They're like recorders, but they play two notes at the same time.

[09:07] This one is in like a minor key. It's so much less happy than this black one.

[09:23] first 3D printed instruments video, but we printed out a kazoo. This is like the third instrument we've used grocery bags to make sound with, but I'm here for it. to make sound with, but I'm here for it. Without further ado,

[09:37] this thing is loud. This is the loudest kazoo I've used, I think. colors. We did this nice bright orange, and then this little nut I printed in

[09:51] of grocery bag in there, which is the part that actually vibrates. Vape, no. part that actually vibrates. Vape, no. Kazoo.

[10:07] fishbone guitar. So, I actually 3D printed this for an upcoming video. You have to be a really big fan of a certain video game to figure that one out. But, this thing is insane. You have to be so careful while playing this thing. It's

[10:20] actually stabbing my leg right now. These teeth are so sharp. All of the holes in my leg. But, if you rest it right there on your leg, you're pretty safe. All right, I got the fish plugged into the amp over there. Let's see how

[10:33] into the amp over there. Let's see how this thing sounds. this thing sounds great. Very sharp and scary to play, but um it is honestly

[10:49] scary to play, but um it is honestly insane that now in 2026, you can just print this. Like, this wasn't here before, and now it is. Definitely stay tuned though to the upcoming video to see more on this. Man, I swear I find

[11:02] Don't forget to check out my limited edition glissophone, and thank you so It would mean a lot to me if you like and subscribe. And if YouTube's algorithm actually works, you're going to love this video next.
