Nick Crump Makes Shit Sing

Nick Crump is the inventor of this innovative “brass instrument” called “Boghorn,” which is basically a brand new toilet bowl that produces sweet, sweet music.

It is also a twin instrument as two people can play it at once, having a treble pipe and a bass pipe. The bass pipe has a wider bore and goes through the U-bend, the treble pipe is longer and narrower and goes through the cold water inlet into the bowl.

The range with both pipes is over three and a half octaves. The sound resembles across between a euphonium and a french horn. It has six holed chanters that give the notes between the natural harmonics, plus a neat foot operated lid lifting device that acts as a mute.
