Sautières

[tona]

Here is a new (semi) lockdown video with my friends of Muscade. Sautière is a dance from Limousin (France).

 

[Jim Besser]

Very cool!

 

[David Barnert]

Wow.

 

Let me guess. Your friends recorded in front of a blank picture frame, you recorded your part listening to their recording (a wire is visible, perhaps leading to an earpiece in your unseen left ear), and the image of you playing was added to the picture frame in the final production process.

[Steve Schulteis]

Oh, a Savart-style fiddle! Don't see those very often.

 

Nice playing! I love the use of the picture frame - it's a fun twist on the composite video idea.

Thanks!

@david : you are right ! ?

Looks similar, but I think the right hand is like a chromatic button accordion (CBA) whilst the left hand is something of Tona's own devising. Somewhere on this forum there is a note chart for the instrument. Here's Tona's description:

 

"I play a custom duet made by family Dipper on which the layout is inspired from the layout of the chromatic button accordion... chromatic scale on three rows and 31 buttons for the right hand. Left hand is a bit more complicated, it is not the "mirror" of the right hand. Three rows and 24 buttons."
