lagerphone
/ˈlɑːɡəfəʊn
/noun Australian /NZ
An improvised percussion instrument consisting of rows of metal bottle tops attached to a pole, producing a jingling noise when it is scraped or struck on the ground: he pounds his lagerphone on the floor...
- The do-it-yourself display also includes the lagerphone, the candolin (a mandolin made from four beer cans which act as resonators), and a eucalyptus-branch slide whistle.
- No one knows when the lagerphone originated, but certainly when the shearers were rained in they did bush music.
- I made this lagerphone myself from an old farm artefact from early farming days.
Origin
1950s: from lager (because of the beer-bottle tops used) + -phone.
