This blog is dedicated to the sublime instruments called nose flutes and which produce the most divine sound ever. We have chosen to discard all the native models from S. Pacific and Asia, for they need fingering to be played. We'll concentrate on "buccal cavity driven" nose flutes : the well patented and trademarked metal or plastic ones, plus, by a condemnable indulgence, some wooden craft or home-made productions.

Nose Flute on the Bellowphone!



Found by our friend and high class guitarist-ukulelist Herman Vandecauter, the video of this incredible instrument, the Majestic Bellowphone. In this video, its inventor, Mr. Leonard Solomon (see this article), plays the Hungarian Dance by Johannes Brahms, and whistles some notes on a purple Humanatone: at 0'51 and at 1'51.

  1. Hurray!!!!!!

    Perfect jerky movement and great facial expression whilst playing this lovely performance with superb dynamics. Tom Waits meets van der Graaf generator! Perfect mix between Trautonium & Skiffle board!

    Hear the ticking of the clock...:-)

  2. I think Herman could do with a Bocarina, in the same fashion as UkeHeidi's skiffle board, but I am already a great fan!!! I love it!!!

    1. Hello Maikel: there is a mistake here! Herman *found* the video. But the inventor of the bellowphone that you can see on the video is Mr. Leonard Solomon.

  3. Herman Vandecauter, you are a triple talent: inventor, instrument builder and musician. The organpart I prefer. The bellowphonepart needs a better noseflute (Bocarina or the classical roundback) My congratulations ! Noseflutejob (YouTube)
