DIY Instruments, from Rubber Bands to Tupperware Electronics, on YouTube

Those zany, wonderful YouTubers. A YouTube post in April challenged YouTubers to show off home-built instruments:

And there’s a terrific lineup of responses, like this performance on Tupperware musical instruments, by Adachi Tomomi:

Video is a natural medium, after all, for showing off DIY instruments. Now, if only we could start doing this on a service with less craptacular video quality. Blip.tv or Revver or Vimeo, anyone? (I’d love to start a CDM group, but we’d need to pick a service first. So far, I’ve been really impressed by Blip, as used by the folks at Make.)

Hey, my pleasure; thanks for the great writeup. I do try to link out when possible; a lot of the time, if I don’t, it’s because I’m just inundated with stuff.
