Junkyards. Rusty wrenches, brake drums, old oxygen tanks, scrap pieces of stone: all the perfect objects to create music. I have spent hours picking through piles of discarded junk, tapping on everything and anything, and searching for the pieces that sound the most unique when struck with a mallet. I began making musical instruments with the vision of 1) creating something that absolutely anyone is able to play (with or without musical training, any age, in a stroller, walking or in a wheelchair....... no limitations), 2) encouraging musical interest with instruments that are easy, interactive and fun, and 3) demonstrating how instruments do not need to be expensive and may be made out of nearly anything. My career began with performing music for others and has since evolved into a mission of creating opportunities in which others are able to perform their own music. My hope in making my instruments, is that anyone and everyone may experience the joy of making and sharing music, as I have experienced throughout my life. https://www.tinkertunes.com/home daily 1.0 2021-03-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee6cb70e14a516ae387cc0c/1592187881940-XQNX2HIMB0IPG8U1RCJB/Kinderbells2.jpg Home - Musical Sculptures Explore Tom’s variety of unique, handmade musical instruments, made out of recycled materials: Kinderbells Music Go Round Lithophone Friction Harp Junkyard Music Box Toolbox Glockenspiel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee6cb70e14a516ae387cc0c/1615168120972-4G29HGO2LBYSLBBXR5NG/image-asset.jpeg Home - Upright Furniture Co. Started in 1995, the Upright Furniture Company is a collaboration between Tinkertunes Music Studio and Feldkamp Design.
