Instruments out of everyday items
I recall some topic on someone making a straw oboe but I guess it fell off the first few pages. <.<
Anyone else here like experimenting with random household items (e.g. straws) to make random instruments?
Lately I've been grabbing handfuls of plastic straws and making oboes out of them. <.< Still haven't bothered actually looking up or experimenting much on finger-holes. But I can basically lip a whole octave anyway. =|
I just made a natural 5-straw trumpet with paper cone in ... well, I'd suppose Cd (quarter-tone down) or something. I can lip it to a B or C. I'd make it a piston/valve trumpet too but that'd be considerably more difficult.
Anyone else? XP
(Yeah, I know, wasting so many non-biodegradable materials isn't good for the environment... I used about half of those straws as drinking straws beforehand though.)
