I thought I already put this up here but I couldn't find it so I will
repost. This is an artificial lung-vocal cords- mouth that is
playable
by an individual using anything except their vocal cords. My
original
conception of this had the player using a pair of baggy pants tied
off at the
ankles as a bellows, or maybe that was someone else's
suggestion in the original idea. The sounding mechanism could
be a reed or valve and
the players hands would control a spongey or leather tongue,
mouth
and lip formation. Who knows how good people could get with
something like that, and why not just use your own lungs, vocal
cords and mouth, but it would be interesting to hear. I guess you
could have versions of this instrument where you used all of your
real parts but just substituted one element, like a fake mouth
held
over your real mouth, or a tracheotomy with a Peter frampton
vocalized that shoots back into the mouth so that the player
could
blow on a false vocal cord that was fed back into the tongue-
mouth-lip system for a close to human but not quite effect. I
don't
know about the pants but maybe a bagpipes
