Description

This was the most difficult and complex video I’ve ever made in my entire YouTube journey – but it’s also the best one I’ve ever created. Squid Game played on 456 instruments — one for each player! How many world records do you think I broke? This video was made possible thanks to Hans Thomann, who not only allowed me to film inside his incredible store, but also welcomed me and treated me like a member of his big family. It was truly an honor to meet him in person – I grew up with his instruments, and if young David had known he would meet him one day, he wouldn’t have believed it! I also want to thank all the employees at the store, who were very kind and helpful during the entire recording session. A big thank you goes to Karim, Saskia, and their team for believing in this project. And of course, a huge shoutout to my friend Mimmo (IG: mimmo__parisi) the camera guy. In the video, I’m the one wearing green pants and a white t-shirt – but in some shots, that’s actually him! Since I knew we’d have very limited time to record everything (only about 24–25 working hours), I came prepared: I brought a matching outfit for him so he could step in and help. On the last day, when I realized I wouldn't be able to record everything, he recorded the drums and some percussion while I recorded the last instruments – wearing the same clothes so we could keep everything consistent on camera. Without him, I never would’ve managed to finish in time! One quick note: I apologize if the audio quality isn’t perfect – the store was full of people 😊 👉 Here’s a landing page featuring some of the instruments I played – my personal favorites: https://thmn.to/thoprod/298604?offid=1&affid=3797 A quick note about the music: I pitch-shifted a few instruments that were originally in different keys – especially the didgeridoos – to make them fit into the arrangements I had prepared.
