Reverberate.-- skinflaps, Feb 07 2007 (?) Solo performance http://freesound.iu...wSingle.php?id=5590Not very inspired. [nomocrow, Feb 08 2007] (?) Daxophone http://www.windworl...pages/daxophone.htmThe ruler evolved [5th Earth, Feb 12 2007] As a person who can't hold a ruler for long without "twoinging" it over a table edge, I must applaud this idea [+].-- Veho, Feb 07 2007 You may play the 4 by 4 plywood trumpet.-- skinflaps, Feb 07 2007 <twoing>-- zen_tom, Feb 07 2007 hardly original!
<plays tissue and comb>
gawd, I hate that tingly feeling.-- po, Feb 07 2007 //hardly original!//
What shall we play for you?-- skinflaps, Feb 07 2007 Brilliant. First performance should be the Super Mario Theme.-- calum, Feb 07 2007 a repeat of last night's serenade?-- po, Feb 07 2007 A serenade you say?.."a 1 a 2 a 3.."-- skinflaps, Feb 07 2007 *twangggg*

Thank you.-- Veho, Feb 07 2007 Out of interest.
(How many rulers would you need to replace the instruments that make up a philharmonic orchestra?)-- skinflaps, Feb 07 2007 we shall now hear a fine rendition of Steve Reich's minimalist master-piece "The Clapping Music" played for us tonight using a mixture of metric and imperial measure rulers applied to graffitied school desk tops. This will be followed by the Ball-Point Pen clicking sonata in A flat, accompanied by the Bra-Strap Twangers. +-- xenzag, Feb 07 2007 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Minuet in 5"# tap-tap-tap {hush}...-- Dub, Feb 08 2007 For sheer instrumenting power, one can scarcely better a carpenter's folding ruler. When strummed it sounds like a soulful tuning fork.-- reensure, Feb 11 2007 Can I play the 'Big Bass Ruler'?-- Jinbish, Feb 11 2007 that'd be a yard stick you have there [Jin']
Bagsy a ruler wind section.-- skinflaps, Feb 11 2007 There are a couple of women from the percussion section that I fancy. It's too bad they're all nuns.-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Feb 11 2007 There's a serious instrument called the Daxophone that operates on the same principles as the old "ruler off a table". It sounds excellent, and I'd love an ensemble of them.-- 5th Earth, Feb 12 2007 "In 1971, plastics engineer and pioneering instrument designer Boob Mog introduced the world to the Plastic Ruler, giving rulerists around the world a completely new canvas of sounds to work with." - excerpt from 'Rulers and Desks, a view from the 20th century sproinging scene'-- wagster, Feb 12 2007 //Boob Mog// Pronounced, of course, "Bowb Moog"-- calum, Feb 12 2007 ...give 'em an inch and let there be music.+-- xandram, Feb 12 2007 Reverberation is what just about what every other talent deaf band thrives on in the first place. No bun for you!-- quantum_flux, Feb 14 2007 ...and then there was Crazy Don, the nutjob artist of the family, who played an electric protractor in a band on Thursday nights. Thursdays, because Star Trek TNG came on on Fridays.
It's weird, it's fun, it's sort of mathy. I'll bun it.-- elhigh, Feb 22 2007 random, halfbakery
