improvised instruments
Doing a Google search on "improvised instruments" led me to a whole bunch of pages, none which especially struck my fancy. But I compiled this list of instruments referred to on the various pages.
- washboard
- washtub
- tea-chest bass
- comb and paper
- cigar-box fiddle
- a drum made from a calabash
- a cow's horn
- a piece of iron
- frying pans
- pots and pans, with a wooden spoon as mallet
- bells
- jugs
- bicycle horns
- wheel rims
- whistles
- glass lemon juice bottles
- tea container (?) filled with pennies and couscous
- fire-hose nozzle ("an amazingly mellow tone," says this Backwoods Home article)
- saw
- spoons
- kettle
- tin cans
- "rum bottle horns"
- garbage cans
- an array of empty wine or schnapps bottles
- the "ping pong," a small zinc pan
- biscuit drum
- plastic containers
- pieces of wood
- strings, reeds, horns, and percussion constructed from discarded gas tanks
