bertbass Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Firstly I'll set the scene. Tonight we're playing The Troggs Wild Thing and our drummer oohs the Ocarina solo using a bag of peanuts as a prop. Don't ask. We get to the solo and the oohs are totally out of tune, strange looks all round. After the set our drummer says, "I had the right note in my head but when it came out of the foldback it had changed. I think the foldback changed my notes". I had to walk away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Yeah, tell him to ask for a foldback tuner as a late Xmas pressie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seashell Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Ooohing the ocarina solo...hmmm might pinch this idea. In fact my band might sound better if we oohed the whole thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertbass Posted December 25, 2012 Author Share Posted December 25, 2012 (edited) Foldback tuner, I like that. I wonder if I could make a box with a big knob on it? Pinch away. Edited December 25, 2012 by bertbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Ah, this old chestnut again. As a drummer, he's rocking to and fro during the solo; this provokes a Doppler shift. Headset foldback should 'cure' this, or heavier chains to restrict even further his movements. Don't let him eat the peanuts after midnight (but you already knew that, didn't you..?).
