Making of Recycle Xylophone
The bottle Xylophone was created with used PET bottles by upcycle artist Kevin Cheung, together with the students from the Education University of Hong Kong, Over the course of a 4-day workshop, the creators explored the community to find recyclable materials, learned some basic craftsmanship, and created a one-octave bottle xylophone. The pitch of the bottle is controlled by the pressure of air injected. In the exhibition "Interactive Percussion" session, you can try it out and compare its sounds with those of the wooden xylophone: which do you prefer?
