Some old stuff. Here is some instruments I've made.
.

With this instrument I wanted to create a trashy version of Richard Waters "waterphone", but since I never heard it I'm not sure if I succeded. Anyway, it's just a bucket with a little water and a few rods bowed with a homemade bow.
Tentacle bucket - mp3.
A short circuited childrens cassette recorder placed in a book. This picture is from my workshop in winter(20 C below zero).
Melting dogs - mp3.

End blown flute made of cheap platic pipes bougth at an electrician store. The one on the picture is a deep one in F sharp. The one on the recording is a different one in A.
Plastic Shakuhachi - Duet(.mp3)

This is a plastic version of the bulgarian shepherd flute "Kaval". I offer these for sale. They are nice for beginners, since the bore is slightly thinner than the traditional ones, which makes it easier to play the higher notes.
Price 300,- Nkr.
Listen to a Bulgarian song played on this Kaval:
Slivenska ruchenitsa

Two instruments by two of the most respected didjeridumakers around. The one on the left a G by Djalu Gurruwiwi and the other a D by Frank Thill painted by Julie Munungurr.
Example of contemporary style played on a homemade elm didjeridu:
Aircleaner - Mp3 (2.2Mb).
Attempt at traditional style on homemade maple didjeridu. The "mouthsounds" at the end indicate tonguemovements used while playing. This is a typical retroflexed tongue pattern with the inbreath on the overtone:
Dup - overtone - Mp3 (52kb.).

In wintertime we can make didjeridu's the Norwegian way. Everytime you put it to your lips it melts a little bit...
Keep it in the freezer.
