Landfill Harmonic

Anyone else seen this cool video thats been circulating?

A nice NPR type of story, but... They're still living in a landfill which sounds dangerous enough.  For the instruments, I would think those are still pretty horrible. ISO's are bad enough.  Something made out of random materials?  I would think it's going to go out of alignment.  No repair shop would bother with those. I notice in the video they're out of tune. I wonder what they sound like live. 

So, yes.  Nice story.  They're poor.  Love of music.  Kind of glurgy though.  Not too many people in the ensemble.  I wonder if it will last.  Although for what they do produce, it sounds like they were practicing.

Cool indeed.  The winds do look more like standard instruments though. 

I remember a school project where we had to construct/invent a functioning instrument out of whatever materials we had available.
