Pillar-o-phone : The pillars of the Palace of Justice in Den Bosch are like a carillon.

Became a carillon-player yourself by moving the mouse over the pillars.

Vélophone : A tuned bike wheel, to be played with a bow of a branch and fishingwire. I don't know Marcel Duchamp.

On the left an audio-example. This song contains the vélophone, especially in the beginning. Amongst others this song also contains the pumporgan and my trashbin.

Pumporgan : With hands, feet, or hands and feet the organpipes are played via airbedpumps, which sometimes succeeds.

On the left a videoclip, accompanying myself with the accordeon.

Below you'll find a selection of some handbuild instruments.

 

Tubophone : A panflute / organ-hybrid, played like a percussion instrument. Can be played in high and low key. Worn out hands guaranteed, but musically much more interesting than Abramovich will ever be.

On the left a videoclip. Also listen to the song "de Optocht" on the music-page.
