When an inflated car tyre's inner-tube is
struck with a stick, it makes a particular,
unique ringing type of sound, which
could
be called a sort of "toingk".
If a collection of tubes are partially filled
with water to varying degrees, then
inflated to a variety of pressures, and
hung
up from a frame, they form the
instrument, known as The Inner-Tubular
Bell.
Now all you need do is remake that
famous album, with the invited voice of
Mike Oldfield himself, describing each
inner-tube sequence in turn, as it is
struck
in the same order as the original album.

You must have quite an old car if it actually has inner-tubes! |

Modern tires are tubeless. |

Here's one to confuse the classifiers of musical instruments. To set up a whole orchestra you'd have to go from say, motor scooter tires to those mega big truck tires. It would be one of the few musical instruments that could easily double as a recreational flotation device. Fun! |
