I don't have a drinking problem, I'm playing a polka.

Need to find something to do with your empty beer bottles? Got some old gas cans taking up space in the back yard? Does grandma's acoustic bass just need a little something extra? The folks at oddmusic can help.

What a mean, nasty, spitefull, and hateful thing to do to an upright bass. I should report him to some bass protectionist society.

The beer bottle organ is pretty sweet though.

sourwookie, I was thinking the same thing about what this guy is doing to violins.

Pretty cool. Check out Harry Partch's instruments, too (previously discussed here).

I'm having too much fun playing all those clips. Thanks!

I don't know about you, sourwookie, but I'd love to play that bass. I've seen much, much worse things done in the name of art.

As long as they aren't those infernal screw-tops, any empty beer bottles coming within reach of me are scavenged for my homebrew!
