I made this lagerphone myself from an old farm artefact from early farming days. |
No one knows when the lagerphone originated, but certainly when the shearers were rained in they did bush music. |
While not commonly known by name, the lagerphone is a traditional bush percussion instrument made from a large stick and bottle caps. |
Look at the clips we'll be putting online about how to play the lagerphone. |
The do-it-yourself display also includes the lagerphone, the candolin, and a eucalyptus-branch slide whistle. |
In its modern form the lagerphone is of Australian origin and is a percussive instrument that produces a rhythmic effect similar to that of the tambourine. |
