Umbrellas are boring. Hum-drum, you might say.
However, the Humbrella brightens your day by playing an uplifting tune as you walked through the grey, gloomy morning on your way to your grey, gloomy job.
With tensioned, resonant panels like drum-skins, each tuned to a different, but harmonious note,
your umbrella will produce a random, but pleasant, syncopated tune as the raindrops patter on its surface.
The hollowed ribs of the umbrella, with small, shaped openings at their tips, produce a gentle, melodious hum as the wind blows over them.
Your rain-soaked start to the day is warmed by a cheerful, resonant tune.
Streets of otherwise glum, damp commuters become a singing orchestra of ever-changing harmony.

It's more of a Boomboxbrella. |

Hmm...might be deafening in a hailstorm |

+ I like to have music everywhere. |

I thought this was going to be a sort of humvee umbrella - twenty kilos of camoflaged, reinforced, bullet-proof rain protection. |

WIBNI right in the text, but as the idea's plausible and innovative, +. |

Hmm, you're absolutely right [jellydoughnut]...a wee edit called for... |

I like it. Nice one, [Frankx]. |

Put a kazoo in the handle and you've got a one-man (person?) band! |

I was kind of hoping this would be an umbrella that got out of the way when it encountered a superior umbrella. |
