Boghorn
The amazing Boghorn - “This is made from a brand new Armitage Shanks toilet bowl [...]. It is classified as a brass instrument as the sound is generated with a trumpet and trombone mouthpiece. It is also a twin instrument as two people can play it at once, having a treble pipe and a bass pipe. The bass pipe has a wider bore and goes through the U-bend, the treble pipe is longer and narrower and goes through the cold water inlet into the bowl. The range with both pipes is over three and a half octaves. The sound resembles across between a euphonium and a french horn. It has six holed chanters that give the notes between the natural harmonics, plus a neat foot operated lid lifting device that acts as a mute.” Got to love that last bit of info! You can just imagine Miles Davis lowering the lid to add a little ‘emotion’ to the ‘horn! [via]
