The
following video clip shows |
many
instruments played live in concerts around the world |
[Special
thanks to Mr. Yoshio Maki from MMP-MOO Records] |
Below
there is a list of some of the instruments I regularly use in concerts, |
recordings,
Film & TV music, commercials, etc... |
Soon,
I hope to post tables with their ranges, basic scales, and basic use |
(specially
for the more 'exotic' ones). |
The
following mp3 is a beautiful illustration of some of them |
--Bulgarian
Kaval, Egyptian Nay, 'C' Flute, rhythmic 'air' Indian Bansuris, etc.-- |
from
a recent TV 'Skittles' commercial |
