Congratulations!

Well done!

All submissions must have an audio resolution of 16-Bit Stereo, with a sample rate of 44.1kHz.

In addition to that, all main files in mp3 format must also have a bit rate of 320kbps. There are no exceptions to this rule.

Thanks Russell, it’s a great interview!

Thanks for all the replies here, I find it really interesting and inspiring that there are so many people interested in these more unusual instruments. Of course synths/samples and technology are amazing, and we all enjoy using them, but what I love about folk instruments is that playing them is often more about the simple enjoyment of making music, for no other purpose (although of course we can use them in commercial productions too).

Wonder if kazoo stands as an ethnic instrument, if yes, then I play also an ethnic instrument.

Kazoo? Yes! Why not!? I love the kazoo too

I have A LOT of ethnic instruments, purchased all around the world. take a look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKrE4MerPCI

I have sitar, erhu, dizi, guzheng, saz, balalaika, chinese liquin, vietnamese dan bau, duduk, frame drum, hulusi… and i hpe to get more!

even if i’m not a master in any of them, I really like enjoy learning how to play them and to record them in my productions

Thanks for sharing the video, it was brilliant! I have the same attitude towards buying unusual instruments, I may not be a master of some of them, but I can quickly get a tune out of them, and usually my goal is just to be able to play something enough to be able to use it in some productions.

By the way, you are lucky to have so many talented twin brothers who helped you to make your film!

Congrats, George, you deserve it!

Hi Andy Besides my main instruments which are violins and keyboards, I play Oud, Greek Bouzouki, sometimes an indian Esraj. I also play percussion, so you can hear in my tracks darbuka, udu, djembe,finger cymbals, kalimba and so on. Sometimes also flutes (indian and irish).

Hi Marco, I listened to many tracks in your portfolio, they sound great! Keep the good work coming!

Thanks for the input so far, guys, it is very interesting!
