instrument-a-day 4: thermometer drum
It’s a tin can with a rubber membrane on top. When I stick it in cold or hot water, the air pressure changes, changing the tension of the membrane.
I’m strumming the drum with day 1’s toy: moonmilk.com/2016/02/01/instrument-a-day-1-joe-strummer/
instrument-a-day 2: dysonharp
A block of accordion reeds from a long-ago impulse purchase on ebay, and a vacuum cleaner.
