Guiro - Electric Hybrid! - Segmented Woodturning Sci-Fi Edition with Stanley the Clamp. Project 014

#swytm #8x6workshop
A Guiro hybrid is the subject for this 2017 special edition Christmas video. I wanted a percussive instrument to accompany other loud instruments so this version has a pickup so the sound can be amplified and also processed to produce some amazing effects.

Mahogany and Oak is used throughout and as the resulting instrument is heavier than the usual guiro's, a comfortable grip handle is fitted to one end.

This special edition is a thank you to all the viewers, subscribers and commenters to the 8x6 Workshop Channel. You guys make it all worthwhile.

If the opening sequence seems confusing it's based upon the introductory trailer for the 13th (female) Doctor in the UK science fiction TV series Doctor Who. See this video https://youtu.be/q1IczjLYCIM

The pipe tune at the end of the video is called The Highland Cradle Song, a traditional Celtic Lullaby. The pipes are a set of Scottish bellows blown smallpipes in the key of A and the set(s) in this video were made by Richard and Anita Evans, makers of Northumbrian and Scottish Smallpipes https://www.evansbagpipes.co.uk/
