My 5 WORST Musical Creations (least useful DIY instruments)
I thought this might be kind of a fun video to kick off the weekend. I take a look at 5 of my previous musical DIY projects that may have been fun to build... but they just aren't that musically useful. I don't see them getting a lot of future use on the channel.

Sorry, Kale. I don't have a comb so I can't lend you one.

Thanks John and Doug. BTW John, I did not try the paper in the comb trick. I did the rubber band kazoo and the PVC kazoo. I guess I could try that one next.

Well this IS an interesting topic. Ha, I don't remember the hula hoop. Gees, I was a kid when the hula hoop craze hit, circa 1957. On the kazoo end, did you ever make a paper and comb 'kazoo' ?

You are always interesting Kale!. I enjoy living vicariously through your musical experiments. I restrict my own to a narrower range, but agree that it’s definitely worth it. Another fun video.
