Trimpin
I was reading a fascinating book from the library titled: "Musical Instrument Design" by Bart Hopkin that provides practical information on instrument making, when I noted a website by Hopkin called: windworld.com. It has a wonderful gallery of weird and fantastic instruments, old and new from around the world. On the site I learned about Trimpin-The Movie, currently making the rounds of independent movie festivals and which is a documentary of the genius inventor of musical art sculptures named Trimpin. Check it out!
