Artist and musician Harm Goslink Cooper's Homemade Instruments are a combination of the artist's passion for carpentry and playing music. These are not only adorable works of art, but each one is a functioning musical instrument.
Cooper's latest work is a homemade wooden piano made out of entirely found wood and colorful wooden keys. This is probably his most ambitious piece of work to date, as most of his work consists of guitars and banjos.

The most interesting aspect of all these homemade instruments is that Harm Goslink Cooper can play all of them extremely well and his videos are something definitely worth taking a look at.
