    I really love this type of videos but I have maybe an idea for the video: When you show the final result you could maybe do like a mosaic design and like this we can see what instruments are playing and it would be very cool.
    But I really love these videos, Keep it up!!! :)

    here's another tin can instrument - tie a piece of waxed dental floss to your toe and to a hole in the bottom of the can. use one hand to hold it taut and mute the can. use the other hand to bow the dental floss, possibly with water for friction - this is interesting because with your hand you can change the width of the bowing region, and hear how this changes the formant ;)

    Truly inspired! I have tinkered around with music production with a daw, plug ins and samples whilst only using a midi keyboard. What your doing looks alot more fun. I started working recently at a special needs school catering mostly for autistic children and love it! I will start making simple percussion instruments with mostly scrap material and will introduce to my students, it would be a perfect activity to engage with. However I'd like to try some more advanced creations for my music. What tier would be best for me on patreon? Keep it up :)

    You're right, there's a lot of texture in this. You kept yourself from pushing it too far though, and the end effect is really neat. The bass flute (?) was a tad too loud for my taste, draught a bit too much attention. Mileage may vary depending on speakers probably, DIY instruments are more vulnerable to that, aren't they?
