  • All kidding aside, it's interesting to see someones creativity to make something useful out of what's leftover and usually gets thrown out.

  • And the Whoopie Cushion was born!  Or maybe this is that little pink guy that leads that woman around in those TV Commercials.

  • I would be afraid of losing control.

  • I believe that in several places in europe such instruments were built. I found one more video-in descriptions they also mention the bladder violin history. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMrumB7xMWE

  • yep,pigs bladder. very first instruments were probably without fingerboard. therfore melodies could not been played-instrument was for accompaniment.

    later fingerboards were added. The luthier told that there were 1-4 string versions, but he thinks 1 string is most rational as it is not easy to keep several strings in tune on bladder :)
