Thread Name: BS: Make Up A New Instrument!!!
Subject: RE: BS: Make Up A New Instrument!!!
My own instrument from recyclables: Take an empty pop can and remove the pull-tab. Stab it twice in the side with a small knife-blade and twist the blade so as to open up the holes a bit. Blow across the pull-tab opening while fingering the knife-wounds on the side. I can usually only get three notes out of it, but the creation of the instrument is novel to watch.
Has anybody else tried dandelion stems as drone pipes?
