Tambiro made from a small camping type LP tankSimple tongues cut into an empty camping type propane cylinder.Because of the chance of explosionor fire, I suggest no one try to duplicate this instrument. For aneye-opening example of what an exploding propane tank can do, access:http://youtube.com/watch?v=I0u-dgueN8kThese tongues do not respond when struck or tapped like with my propane tank "hang drum" -- they must be plucked, kalimba style.http://DennisHavlena.com

a few DIY musical instruments from Dennis HavlenaHi - Here's a short sampling of a few of the simple folk instruments whoseconstruction is detailed on my webpage at http://DennisHavlena.comThis video was made in my back yard, on the spur of the moment and is not intendedto be fancy music -- just to show some of the instruments, which include -- in order:- 3 string cookie-tin banjo with weed- whip line strings. Tune is "the Cuckoo".- "Tambiro" made from a new (never-been-filled) 20 Lb. propane tank. Building this instrument gave me the idea for inventing my propane tank "hank drum" (a humble alternative to the hang drum)- My "Fiddle-Gurdy" combination fiddle & Hurdy Gurdy. Much fun! I apologize for the squeak here and there -- I was impatient to get things on Youtube. Tune is an old French Canadian Voyageur's melody, "En Roullant Ma Boulle".Inspiration from Yuichi Onoue's "Kaisatsuko".- My 4-string, full sized wash-tub bass. Holds it's own nicely in a band situation.- Simple Hardanger fiddle conversion. 4 strings playing & 4 strings sympathetic that run through a tunnel carved into the underside of the fingerboard. Tunes are "Road to Boston" (aka "Col. Greene's March") and "Over the Waterfall".- Low D Tin-Whistle made from a shower-curtain rod for a few dollars. Tune is made up on the spot (& it sounds it!).- Octave Mandolin (aka bozouki, cittern) converted from an old guitar. Tune is the"Boys of Bluehill" hornpipe.PS: I just put another short video onYouTube of my PVC tubing instrument thatplays like a hang drum, at this web address:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5dD4KkJcAwPS: Also see my propane-tank hank drum at:http://youtube.com/watch?v=bpMS15kJyOY&mode=related&search=My webpage describing building these instruments is at this URL:http://DennisHavlena.comThanks!PLEASE NOTE: A real, Swiss-made hang drum is VERY difficult to obtain these days. A ray of hope is on the horizon however--Pantheon Steel, a maker of beautiful steel drums ("steel pans") is researching and experimenting -- with the intention of producing hang drums (under a different name) for sale. Please contact them at pantheonsteel.com and encourage them!They're looking for signs of interest at this time. Dennis
