Oompa Loompa Orchestra: Sweet sounds from the plastic world. *** Loompa-Tom ***.

1. Note on Loompa-Tom: I updated some files, and they were inserted at the end of the project with notes. 
   
    - The sandwiche bolt: I printed the loompa-tom with another material and the bolt was not properly sized, so we have a new bolt file that will fit, in versions of 11.8mm body and 11.4mm body. Chose the one that is better fit. The ideal size will be perfectly aligned with the “buttom”.
   
     - I also Included a better Giant Bolt design for both  8 and 6 inches Loompa Tom, and they are named for each version.  It will fit better.
   
    - The 8 inches BigHoop was updated just for cosmetic reasons. Thank you!

Oompa Loompa Orchestra: Sweet sounds from the plastic world.
 

The following instruments were recovered from an expedition to an unknown land, near an abandoned chocolate factory that many of us know about, which belonged to Willy Wonka, long ago deceased.

The factory was operated by beyond-human beings, known as "oompa loompas". The oompa loompas did not take long to figure that Mr. Wonka was a total crook, and they got rid of him. But since they were already in the melting business, apparently they decided to melt different materials.

They constituted a very inclusive society. Everything they did, they did together. And music was no exception. So they started extruding plastic to make their orchestra.

With or without musical skills, every oompa loompa had its place in the orchestra, and all of them were inspired by their community labour. Many compositions could be now lost in oblivion, but  we can finally not only listen to them, but also make some.

The instruments that were recovered suggest that the Oompa Loompas concept of music was not only a bit different than ours but also, to be fair, a bit scary and dramatic. Furthermore, as already mentioned, the oompa loompas were beyond-human beings, but they were smaller than us, which explains the size of their instruments.

Luckily we are able to get more acquainted with what they did, and with a little practice, maybe it will be possible, one day, to mimic their special talent.

Along with the instruments, a music video was also found, and it is published at:

 

note: “Melting Willy Wonka” was recorded using ONLY the presented 3dprinted instruments.

The found  instruments are the following:

Rattle Loompa - made with debris and remains of 3dprinting.

Tulipa Guitar - a very democratic 3 strings guitar, anyone can play it.

Loompa-Tom - a pair of tom-tom that can be tune adjusted spinning it.

A pdf with instructions is included.
