Recycling to Create Musical Instruments
February 4th, 2008 by James
A clip of a news report about a contest in which contestants showed off musical instruments they created by recycling household items:
Instruments featured in the video include:
- A saxophone made from a pipe, a film case, part of a balloon, and a bit of air pump hose
- A group of printers modded to play songs together
- A combination of disposable chopsticks, aluminum cans, and other items that a kid uses to play the Hanshin Tigers fight song
- Two aluminum cans and a straw create an instrument that can play Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
- A set of horns made from plastic bottles, cup ramen containers, and straws
The plastic bottle horns won the competition, with the 49-year-old housewife that made and played them receiving a 500,000 yen check!

Hello from England,
I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the ingenious ideas of how the end of an everyday household items lifecycle can be recycled and reinvented to make functional musical instruments. You can see on this YouTube link http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=w2VNdDV6Vzo
how one man imagined and created an unbelievable collection of musical instruments eight decades ago from used matchsticks. These instruments have been used to create a recycle Band a music Band
