Subject: RE: BS: Make Up A New Instrument!!!
Proctophone...A torpedo shaped instrument, with a goats skin membrane, which is believed to have been beaten rhythmically. It was designed as an improvement on the bodhran, because the streamlined shape made it easier to stow away. This is the reason for the alternative title of a Suppositophone.
