Musical Instruments You've Never Heard (or Imagined) Before

One Man’s Trash is Another Man’s Music Guest: Ken Butler, artist, musician When you think of instruments, you might think of an expertly crafted cello, or a shiny brass trumpet, but do you really need the finest instruments to make good music? Ken Butler puts that idea to the test by making musical instruments out of recycled garbage, and you'll have a hard time telling the difference.  Making Music with Icestruments Guest: Tim Linhart, founder, Ice Music, Luleå, Sweden  What does it take to make a cello or guitar? Probably some suitable wood. String of some kind would be good. And a fair amount of know-how. But what if you were to make them out of water instead of wood? Tim Linhart crafts "icestruments" of many varieties and we'll listen in on his music.  The Boston Typewriter Orchestra  Guest: Chris Keene, musician, The Boston Typewriter Orchestra Vintage typewriters have become museum pieces, collectors' items. They’re kind of retro-hipster now. Tom Hanks collects them. He narrated an award-winning documentary on typewriters. And in the hands of some very creative people, typewriters have been turned into musical instruments, an orchestra even.
