Ortho-Flute
learn to play an instrument next time you have a broken leg | |
A broken leg requires much rest and hopping around on a crutch. Why not use that rest time for some useful purpose, like learning how to play an instrument?
A flute has a line of holes in it, running up its shaft. (see link)
A crutch has a line of holes in it, running up its shaft.(see link)
Therefore
a crutch can be used as a musical instrument, (with a bit of modification of course)
So, next time you have the misfortune to experience a broken leg, ask for an Ortho-Flute crutch.

I have issues [xen] unless you are going for the
sympathy vote and you are implying you have
injured yourself. If that be the case + If not I'm
not sure. |

I've always thought there should be left- and right- handed (dexterous/sinister) versions of most wind instruments. |
|

I once played French horn in a community orchestra where one of the horn players was missing several fingers on his left hand. He owned a "mirror image" instrument, custom fabricated, which he fingered with his right hand. |

No need for sympathy vote... I don't have a broken leg, just an old running injury. I was simply clowning around with a crutch (stupid Ian Anderson imitation) that was left in my office at work. We use it to open the windows, the catch being out of reach. |

I suppose another idea would be a crutch with a "picking up claw" at the end of it. (link) |
