    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 :)
