Ceramic Ocarina. Nuff said.

I like the Ceramic Ocarina. Takes a little practice, but they are darn near unbreakable, if made right. And they fit easily in a small pocket. 4 holes, full range of music.

Danced around in the garage, beer bottle blazing, in my thong. Kinda primal.

Yeah...that's what I meant....lol..

Awesome instrument. NAF's sound incredible (googled videos of people playing them). I'm working on ideas of building an instrument using items found around my house. When I get finished, I'll see if I can make a video. Keep the ideas coming.

I have several guitars, way too many, cuz I can't play worth a hoot! I found my perfect instrument last year...the NAF (native american flute). You can't play these things wrong! They are wonderful to take hiking. Sit on a ridge top and "play" the ridge! High peaks are high notes, low peaks-lower, valleys even lower notes...short, long...just play the ridgeline. It's amazing how beatifull this can sound. Play the flight of a bird in the wind!
I have several NAF music CD's (no...not my recordings)...very relaxing.

Not a bad idea, actually...I've heard some decent recordists before...and one of those things would last indefinitely.

I was forced to play one in the 3rd grade. I remember they full of slobber, and broke down into 3 pieces that fit in my pocket, and you could take the moutpiece, fill it with wet toilet paper and blow it 50+ yards. I also remember I had to run a swab through it every so often that looked like a swab for a 12 bore shotgun.

I used to play the tuba, but I do not need to expound on how impractical it would be to haul a tuba into the desert.

How about one of those kids flutes. Used to call them recorders. Cheap, plastic and would be good for torturing your dog.

Found them on E-bay (I refuse to buy on this anti-gun site) for $5.00.

I play guitar, as well, and that is the one problem which plagues me daily.....I have a travel acoustic that folds up into a nice little gig bag, and about 30+ sets of strings...

Just hope I can carry it out if I have to sh*t 'n' git....

Having to bug out, or bug-in, the necessity of entertainment for morale is just as important as Tylonol for an injury. While a harmonica is a useful addition to any BOB or preparedness kit, I'm curious to know if anyone has other useful ideas for musical entertainment.

I currently play guitar, but realize that in a SHTF situation, guitar strings will become almost completely unavailable. (that and finding an electrical outlet to plug in my Crate amp might be difficult :p) Does anyone have a musical instrument that is able to be used indefinately, without the necessity of replacing parts?
