Folk music projects inspired by yesterday, made for today's urban folks.
This is a list of ever evolving home brew musical instrument projects. The aim here is to inspire average folk to make and create their own music. You'll find very little instruction here. These projects are intended as starting points for you to build your own personal musical instruments.
Folkurban goes electronic!

This is almost a tutorial. Grab a reed, kids. We're building a clarinet.
Proof of concept. My fipple making skills (still) need some honing.
This one can get as complex as you like.
Get your mind back in the sewer with this loud and versatile rhythm instrument.

Paper or plastic...tell 'em you want plastic.
This one needs a lot of inspired work to become really useable.
Simple pleasures of life...
