I saw this and I immediately want to build one. One for the percussive and rhythm section, bass players etc, very cool. 😎🤘

Don't know whether you'd class them as "alternative" but they're certainly seen less frequently.

It's mad (so I understand why it'd appeal to you 😆 ) and creative / inventive butย I guess that's just a larger and bassier version of the old rubber-bands-stretched-across-a-shoe-box "instrument"?

I imagine it'd be fun to play with for a while.

What colours will yours be??

@tv101 Indeed it is mad and Iโ€™m just trying to find all my elastic thingies, I have a tub of them somewhere. Itโ€™s difficult to find anything at the moment as Iโ€™m packing everything away, ready for moving. Itโ€™s perhaps not the best time to be thinking about making this instrument (or any instrument) but trying to fly under my wifeโ€™s radar with these things is half the fun. 😆 They will present themselves sooner or later so I can at least have an initial look at it.ย 
It makes me smile and laugh so Iโ€™ll take it any day.ย 
Find something you like doing and keep doing it (so long as it isnโ€™t detrimental to your health or harmful to anyone else).ย 
Life should be fun for everyone.ย 

I hope you are doing well TV. ✊🙂
