Welcome! This is a group for musicians, educators, and the like who enjoy working with homemade instruments and found sounds. Many but by no means all of these instruments will be in the percussion family. A great variety of wind and other instruments can be improvised as well, and this is certainly fair game for discussion. Related electronics and computer based composition tools are also welcome topics, along with ideas for working with kids or other specific groups in educational settings. Your moderators are Paul Marshall of DrumDojo.com and stu at Rhythmweb. Enjoy!
