Robert



Robert "O Gordo" works at the open market at the Cayrú plaza in front of the Mercado Modelo. He buys already finished wooden whistles and adds resonators made from PVC tubes (about 7cm long, 3cm diameter), and a wooden plug. He sells them plain, or with faces sculpted in durepox (fimo) and using seeds, shells, and ornate pebbles as eyes or third eyes.

The Protestaphone, Bruce Triggs

Bruce Triggs got his design from an instrument maker he met at a protest of the Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles. A plastic film canister with two extra holes joins a PVC pipe with finger holes to a plastic straw, and a piece of rubber (perhaps from a condom) is stretched over the original opening of the plastic film canister and held taunt with a rubber band. He reminds us that PVC is one of the most toxic materials commonly used today, for more information:
