New track with Michail Bashakov. Sorry, lyrics are in Russian, but you can see pictures. Idea of harmonica between vocals is to imitate sounds which is in the lyrics. You can hear tram wheels, tram brakes, car sounds, door opening, jackhammer, beeps instead of dirty words, air escape from bus door, hooter, train..

Very nice, Boris! I always want to get me another seydel when I hear you playing! Killer tone and very nicely used glass resonator. This video is also a nice reply to the "every harpers must watch this video" thread.

DukeBerryman, I have been trying to get a U.S. sounding siren almost since I started playing with no luck. European sirens are easy. I use them in at least one song (as a sonic joke after the line 'sirens call'). If anyone figures out the U.S. one I'd love a tutorial.

Goldbrick, great. I can't play the regular 'simple' U.S. sirens and you have to remind me that there are more complex ones!!! Lol. Back to playing bugle calls I guess. :)

@nacoran Maybe Boris can do it with the help of an effects pedal. I know I could do it with a slide whistle!
