Beer Bottle Organ

Beer Bottle Organ
A musical instrument made by Peterson Tuners, yes, the organ sound is actually produced by blowing air over the tops of real beer bottles. The bottles are filled or "tuned" using mineral oil, so it will not evaporate or change tunings during weather changes.
The Bottle Organ concept was first developed in the early 1800's. The organ as shown is self contained with brass fittings, lighting and is housed in a walnut enclosure on casters. It includes an air pump controller and self-playing device which allows the organ to also play musical tunes unaided, or via keyboard or MIDI controlled device.


Aquaggaswack

Aquaggaswack
The first version of the Aquaggaswack, built in 1996, only had about 18 pot lids and was narrower (It didn't have the outer sections). This second version, revamped in 1998, has 29 pot lids representing a majority of the notes in an octave, plus some quartertones. The center lids have mostly "bell"-like tones and the outer sets have a more "gong"-like tone. All the lids were obtained from thrift stores and friends. At various times both versions of the Aquaggaswack also included a cymbal, jingle bells, a cowbell with clacker and a mine cylinder (that's what the tag said). A variety of mallets, sticks and brushes can be used to produce sound. The frame is made of galvanized plumbing pipe. It can be a bit unwieldy fully assembled. But the entire thing breaks down quickly into seven pieces for ease of transport. The Aquaggaswack appeared in the December 1998 issue of Experimental Musical Instruments.
