The '''udderbot''' is an instrument (co-)invented by [[Jacob Barton]] in 2005.<ref>https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/25363/8-weird-and-wonderful-musical-instruments</ref> It's built out of a bottomless glass bottle and a rubber glove, filled with water.

The '''udderbot''' is a DIY woodwind instrument co-invented and proposed by [[Jacob Barton]] in 2005.<ref>https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/25363/8-weird-and-wonderful-musical-instruments</ref> It's built out of a bottomless glass bottle and a rubber glove, filled with water. The player's manipulation of the water reservoir allows modulation of the volume (and shape) of the rigid resonating vessel ("bot"). A smooth change of hand position in combination with embochure facilitates a 4-octave continuous glissando range, (5+ octaves including altissimo registers)
