  • We stretched our DIY muscles and built some instruments from scratch. We then try to play a song using them, which goes about as well as you’d imagine…
    The song has been recorded using only these instruments and our voices.

    From the comments, we’re happy to announce #Andy as the winner!

    So impressed with his getting actual accurate notes from the clothes-rack trombone.

    The off-key carrot whistle really makes this sound like a bunch of men in a tavern who were joined by the SUPER drunk guy who somehow manages to carry on surprisingly coherent conversation even after several tankards of ale.
