Making a Track with Only Lap Instruments

I recently realized how closely my DIY dulcimer, 2X4 lap steel, and box tanpura resemble each other. I threw in my djembe and realized... you play all 4 of these on your lap. Why not make a track with just lap instruments?

Intro - 0:00
Song - 0:52

Thanks Taffy. I'm always thinking of something I haven't tried yet.

Hi Poorness, man you have too much time on your hands, haha, how do you fit it all in. That put a smile on my face too. Nice feel. Yeah, chimes would be good, and what about waves lapping on the beach.
Nice one Taff.

Thanks t-belly. It came out really nice.

@CBN, the way I do it is probably not the easiest way. I actually track the audio and video separately and then join them in iMovie (free software). I have to go down to the frame level editing to get the audio and video to line up properly and sometimes I'm a frame or two off. It's not very convenient. Overall though, it ends up looking pretty good.

Kale, what video editing do you use for the one man band clips?

Nice one! Nice sound when you put them all together. Like it a lot!
