Balloon Bass

Laurent | November 15, 2009 | 12:09 pm

Balloon Bass

Balloon Bass is the brainchild of Addi Somekh (above with Henry Bermúdez on guitar). He has been playing balloon bass since he was first introduced to the balloon guitar by its inventor Sean Rooney in 2000. Since then he’s made several modifications and turned it into more of a bass. The instrument consists of an inflated and a twisted skinny balloon to make up a resonator connected to the string, which is another twisted uninflated skinny balloon. Check out this video on how to make your own.

You can download their album Air, Rubber and Soul from their website. It’s a bit of a mix of jazz, latin, hip-hop and plenty of funky improv.
