Roach-a-phonic Bandophone: Lunchbox

The Roach-A-Phonic Band-O-Phone was the first of a line of many rubberband instruments. After creating some styrofoam instruments which were bowed with rubber tubing, I set out to make some instruments in which rubber itself was bowed. These instruments can be played either with the smooth spinning shaft of a motor or with a bow made of rubber tubing.
