Ranjit Bhatnagar’s Instrument-a-day
In the thing-a-day tradition for the month of February, Ranjit Bhatnagar is making one musical instrument each day, and documenting them on his blog. Some are electronic, and some are mechanical. It’s going to be a good month! Pictured above is the monomarx (top) and remote interference (bottom).
