NEW PERCUSSION INSTRUMENT FOR A PRIZE
On Sat. 4th July 2009 Streatham, London started their 8 day festival called Splash Out. I performed in 2 shows as Prof H2O about water. The local plumbing and bathrooms firm called Potter Perrin also sponsored a competition for children to design a musical instrument out of plumbing. Many designs were drawn by children during the day with accompanying notes. The 1st prize for the best design is the 'plumbing drumming' instrument that I made specially for this occasion shown above, it can be played with metal or wooden drum sticks. The winner was Rachel Mead for her wonderful design of a bath with different length pipes attached.
