Fugly thing. Does it make any noise?

I'm just getting into the spirit of things.

Now if it makes music I might take it back.

Like ... Hmm.. Even the fat lady can sing at the end.

It seems like a long way to go around producing a beyoinginingningning sound.

FIRE POWER ! 

a few years ago   i  made a fire powered canjo  ,  the heat  from the  flames  hit the  fins up-top and cause  the loop  to  spin  ,  i   hung  2  beads  on a thread  to lightly hit the string as    they pass  over  it  .  It made a " ting - tang" " ting tang"  .. sound .   like a light  strum  tho (sorry , no sound in vid ) .
