Iam actually working on a duct tape clarinet. I got hold of wooden clarinet
that is really chipped and cracked. It is sad that people can let
instruments get to that point.

I won't be entirely made out of duct tape, but the body wil be. I'm going to
remove all of the keys and stuff from the broken clarinet and put them on
the duct tape clarinet.

So far, all I have finnished is the bell. It took me about a week to get it
to look like one and I can put it on my good 'ol vito and play low E and it
is in tune. It took a lot of cutting and retaping to pull that off. Of
course it sounds pretty bad.

I feel kind of wierd attempting to make a duct tape clarinet...

Anyway, Any clarinet collecters out there want to buy it when it is
finnished?
