Japanese "Recycled" Musical Instruments

"News report about a contest in which contestants showed off musical instruments they created by recycling household items. Instruments featured in the video include: * A saxophone made from a pipe, a film case, part of a balloon, and a bit of air pump hose * A group of printers modded to play songs together * A combination of disposable chopsticks, aluminum cans, and other items that a kid uses to play the Hanshin Tigers fight song * Two aluminum cans and a straw create an instrument that can play Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star * A set of horns made from plastic bottles, cup ramen containers, and straws. The plastic bottle horns won the competition, with the 49-year-old housewife that made and played them receiving a 500,000 yen check." JapanProbe.com (500,000 Yen is about 4680 US Dollars/2380 Pounds Sterling. The first tune is "In The Mood" by Glenn Miller.)

....and here in the U.S., art and music programs in public schools get their funding slashed.

Japan wins again.

The last one was really good.
How she made those horns ...and the song she played.

Its amazing how easy it is to create a musical instrument.

All you have to do is find something that will vibrate and create a sound with a hand movement.

Call me Crazy, but I love the concept and I love how kids are into it getting creative.
