The …what??? Several years ago someone kindly offered me a container of bent measuring spoons. What was their destiny?

Container of measuring spoons

What purpose could they serve?  One never knows at Music House! Years went by and there they sat, neglected, forlorn … Until one day ten year-old Max noticed them. Knowing Max to be quite brilliant and creative, I offered him a few, thinking he might find some use for them. Little did I know … One week later Max returned with a present for me. It was his new invention: The “Maxatron!” Really a kalimba, and it sure gets lots of attention. Thank you, Max!!! Watch Charley demonstrate it here.
