Beer Bottle Organ






Good golly, this isn't just a cute novelty, this is an actual functional instrument. Whoever created this thing switched up the pipes with beer bottles. Hence the name "Beer Bottle Organ".

Let me go so far as to say there's nothing like it. It really has a unique sound, something that makes you want to take heed and notice. If you don't believe me, listen to this rendition of Eleanor Rigby as played on the Beer Bottle Organ.

Surprisingly, this instrument has been around for almost 200 years. It is quite versatile too. You can play musical tunes unaided, go at it with a keyboard, or even perform some MIDI magic.

I want one.

It's difficult to comment on this latest post when I'm still enjoying the funk from "I can't stand the rain."
