Innovation and busker bands

I appreciate creativity and innovation in all its forms - and sometimes you'll see it in the funniest places. On a recent vacation, I saw it in a band of street musicians who had taken the stand on the main street.
Street musicians are probably seen in most places, but this band - to be found on YouTube under the name of Camachophones, if anyone should be interested - distinguishes itself by bringing - in addition to trumpet, tuba, saxophone and two "regular" percussionists - a somewhat distinctive instrument - which is easiest to describe by recognizing that an image says more than a thousand words.
Add to this that the musicians certainly seem to enjoy what they do, and all of it actually sounds really great - then it's hard not to be happy with the experience - and put 10 € for the CD sold from the instrument box in front, and some coins in addition.
A souvenir that might cost more than the average postcard. But on the other hand, it is also more unusual than the average.
