Thread Name: Lagerphone build recommendations please!
Subject: RE: Lagerphone build recommendations please!
I've made a lagerphone using a old solid bamboo cane walking stick, and...wait for it...bells from many old tamborines bought at swap meets/boot sales at weekend markets.Paid no more than $1.50 for an old tamborine).Buy only as many as you need.
Best thing is: no holes to drill & different size bells & metals, & lots of bells. Used a rubber bootstopper from an old crutc(found at the local rubbish tip)for anti-slip on the floor. A few "tinnies" & a few hours later, enter from stage left...one lagerphone.It works for me....tuning it from the drums is fun (tongue firmly in left cheek).
