World Music Safari - The Stroboe

Alright, let's make an instrument...out of a straw! This crazy little instrument works much like an oboe complete with double reed and tiny little scale. The intro music uses one that sort of even plays in tune. The two straw oboes in the video are a bit more squirrely and uneven but they do indeed play. And later I even try them both Aulos style. Many cultures utilize readily available materials like the Didgeridoo which is made from Eucalyptus, a traditional Doumbek uses fish skin for the drum head, python is used for Erhu and Sanxian bodies, steel drums are made from oil drums, the list goes on and on. So go grab some plastic straws from Burger King or McDonalds and get going.
