so can you put like you favorite drink in the bottle?... or do certain drinks effect the sound?... if that was a stupid question then i was just joking lol

[piccolosandcheese]

@K3Horn So it turns out that you can get a weird effect by using a bubbly liquid, whether soda or just fizzy tap water. What happens is kind of a registral break right where the "shoulder" of the bottle is. It's typically between a major second and minor third in range, and you can even do trills! But only with bubbly liquid. Strange.

you are a genius and probably mildly insane

[tony18mo]

That's a win!

Cool instrument, I wonder if it'll ever go mainstream? It has a similar sound to the hand ocarina.

Hey Jacob...

My mom is good friends with your parents---Pat Mann. In fact, you were neighbors at one time. Anyway, love your strange new instrument!! Sending this link to my son, also a musician.

[usernamearrg]

I've seen him play live and it is amAZing. Go, Jacob!

[bugokrain]

this rocks. chromaticism ain't no thang. plus, mr. barton reduces, reuses, and recycles. holistically appealing approach to art. keep it up!

[Justinewl]
