Professional musician uses toy instruments

People from Russia are incredibly inventive. For example, Vaganych was able to write music on toy instruments.



So, this is a guitar (which is very similar to a ukulele), on which the frets don't work. The box says “develops the imagination”, and author comments on this “because you need a lot of imagination to imagine that you can play with it.” As well as another set of instruments - a drum, drumsticks, a flute, a tambourine, a mouth organ and castanets.

Only later did one difficulty arise. From this, only the flute works normally. Drum membrane has no tension and cannot be tuned. However, author thought of putting mediators there, as well as unscrewing delay and reverb. The guitar also failed to tune - it's impossible to catch a note. This activity reminded to author of the violin tuning: turned the machine head a little and good-bye. However, two guitar tracks were recorded, but reamping was performed on one of the guitar tracks.

The result was a kind of trip-hop with solo brass. But author admits that he used a lot of plugins and shows how it sounds without processing. As you can see, you can even make music from this.
