From Modified Atari Consoles to Carrot Clarinets

Who says music can only be made with traditional instruments like guitars, pianos, flutes, and trumpets? The musicians in this slideshow below sure wouldn’t. They’ve managed to produce sounds from ball bearings, ping pong balls, modified video game consoles, vegetables, fish, footwear, and typewriters.

While the music made with these unusual instruments may not appear at the concert hall nearest you, their existence proves that music and imagination are two universal, innate human qualities.
