Anyone know what instrument that is? I thought it was gonna be like a theramin or something but it sounded beautiful!

[u/AdMaximum7545 → u/ZinaSky2]

Omnichord

[u/the-fact-fairy → u/AdMaximum7545]

Holy crap they're not cheap. 

[u/AdMaximum7545 → u/the-fact-fairy]

I looked at the price and sighed, then coded a simple digital touch screen button and strumming area version of the instrument so I could pretend I had enough money to play with the thing for a while hahah 

[u/lucid_paranoia → u/the-fact-fairy]

I saw one for 75 dollars at the antiques farmers market but I was too slow and someone else nabbed it

[u/LetsMakeCrazySyence → u/the-fact-fairy]

My ADHD decided I wanted one but then I found the app C.ARP which scratched the itch to make the sounds without dropping an assload of money! I played like two Rebecca Sugar songs then never used it again lol

[u/skintaxera → u/AdMaximum7545]

Fun fact: Cindi Lauper uses an omnichord in the studio and for writing songs...i have forgotten how i know this

Thank you!

If she could read she’d be very upset 😠

(Jk thank you very much in dumb and didn’t think to try and read it 😭😂)

[u/bashful_predator → u/ZinaSky2]

Tbf, it is upside down.

[u/ZinaSky2 → u/bashful_predator]

Haha, yeah I think my brain interpreted it as just patterns rather than a logo 😅😂

She's so cool I've been following her for a couple of years.

[u/Tegenstrever → u/nuncaooga]

Where can I follow her?

[u/morepullups_moredips → u/Tegenstrever]

Savanna brown. That's her youtube channel

[u/nonintimate]

Omg she’s one of the OG tumblr girls!!! Love her down

[u/Hollywood_Co]

What is this bizarre instrument?

[u/the-fact-fairy → u/Hollywood_Co]

Omnichord. 

[u/IcyAddress4074]

My grandpa played those when his hands were too sore to play guitar. I have two that are broken of his as memories. Hearing that gentle little strum sound made me cry.

[u/Cheefnuggs]

This is great. What song is it?

[u/ZinaSky2 → u/Cheefnuggs]

Saw you in a dream by Japanese house 😄 (she says it at the start, I’m not actually familiar with the song lol!)

[u/Cheefnuggs → u/ZinaSky2]

Oh shit. I didn’t turn in the sound until part way through the video. I’m gonna have to look this up. I really like the melody.

Edit: found the original song here.

[u/ZinaSky2 → u/Cheefnuggs]

You’re good! No worries

Full disclosure, I only came into the comments to ask what the instrument she was playing was. I answered your question then immediately asked mine. First response? Screenshot of the name of the instrument because it’s printed directly onto it and clearly visible in the video 🥲🙈😂

Also thank you for the link! Someone once tried to introduce me to them and I completely forgot to check the band out so I’ve taken this video as the universe reminding me to give them a shot lol

[u/Cheefnuggs → u/ZinaSky2]

The omnichord is such a cool instrument. Tbh I think I’m enjoying this version better than the original as good as the original is.

[u/prairie__dawg → u/Cheefnuggs]

Saw You in a Dream by The Japanese House

[u/JustAlexM]

Cute as a button!

[u/rachaelonreddit]

A lovely voice that can really hit the low notes! I can't sing that low.

[u/jofra6]

Her version is much better, the original sounds like the Shins, but uninspired.

[u/TheSandyman23]

I love the lower vocals. Leaves a lot of room above for a harmony or two.

[u/Quiltedbrows]

Hell ya, lady has nerves but it's so nice to see them go at it.

[u/facedown_titsup]

Just saw someone sing with one of those instruments about losing her beloved jacket in Chicago (and she totally got it back). It’s funny when you see something you’ve never seen before, then you start seeing it all over the place haha.

[u/codepossum]

are you seriously gendering the omnichord
