Scrapheap Orchestra

Bonkers and hilarious; I ended up watching it by accident but it's the funniest thing I've seen this month.

Is this the thing where they had to build a colossally large and complex contraption to replicate the sound of a cymbal?

[hidetheelephants]

Cymbals made of car bonnets, a tuba made from HVAC ducting, violins from PVC waste pipe, trombones made with yorkshire plumbing joints and coffee pots, and my personal favourite the clarinet with a key system made out of spoons and elastic bands.

Yeah this was brilliant!

Did you see that old pipe he was making the violins out of

It was RED

I thought it was pretty watchable telly! But it did remind me just how mad a lot of musicians really are......


(and there was quite a bit of cheating using parts of "proper" instruments, but considering how good the final overture sounded i think we can forgive them that small indescretion ;-)
