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.
