Linsey Pollak is an Australian music composer and instrument maker, who has a knack for making instruments out of everyday objects. And these are not your school level science fair style instruments. These are high quality, TED show worthy, beautiful music making instruments.
Judge for yourself: In this video Linsey turns a carrot into a clarinet using an electric drill and a saxophone mouthpiece, and plays it all in a matter of 5 minutes.
You can check out his website here for more details about his music and his career. He gives directions to making your own.
This would be a great idea for a kids lesson plan!
