Einstein's Monkey

Some of the instruments that Einstein's Monkey demonstrates:

The Udu Drum is a lot like a clay water bottle with too many holes!  It hails from the Ibo tribe of Nigeria and is played by sitting cross legged on the floor and putting one hand on each hole.  One hand covers the top hole to change the pitch while the other hand, taps and slaps on the other hole.      
    The Djembe (pronounced jem-bay) is a goblet shaped drum from West Africa.  It is played with your bare hands and can produce deep bass notes as well as glorious bright slapping notes.  
   
The Didgeridoo is an Australian aboriginal instrument.  It is played by pursing your lips and blowing into it like a trumpet.  It produces a beautiful low droning note and from better players can also sound notes, hoots, whistles and the like.
