Playing a Tongue with a Dax and Double Bass Bow

In your left hand, you hold this block of wood called a dax.

And one of them, um, has no frets. The other one has frets on it.

Uh, hold the dax in your left hand and, uh, place it on top of this tongue.

The dax itself is made of very heavy wood, so you do not need to press it very hard.

Uh, just lightly touch it. And in your right hand, you hold a bow, a double bass bow.

The pitch changes depending on how long the distance is between this daxophone and this bow.

At the very end, well, it produces a low sound like this.

On this side, uh, it produces a higher sound.

And then, um, what happens if we try playing on the other side, the side with the frets?

Original transcript (Japanese)

左手にダックスと呼ばれるこの木の塊を持ちます。 で、片方は、えーと、フレットがない。もう片方はフレットがついてます。 えー、左手にダックスを持ち、えー、このタングの上に当てます。 このダックス自体はすごく重たい木なので、あんまり強く押し付ける必要はないです。 えーと、軽く当てる感じで。そして右手には弓を持ちます。コントラバス用の弓です。

このダックスとこの弓で弾く位置の長さによって音程が変わります。 一番端っこだと、ま、低い音がこう出ます。 こちら側だと、えー、より高い音が出ますね。 で、えーと、この反対側、えーと、フレットのついた方で弾いてみるとどうなるか。
