RSSMusician Mark Growden plays many instruments, but here he demonstrates a particularly unusual one - bicycle handlebars. Note there are no holes or other modification added to the tube - the voice is controlled simply by hand and mouth. With some dedication to practice, the handlebars could be a choice instrument for the bicycling busker - convenient!

That's exactly the same thing as a "Tilinka" from the Carpathians... usually made from a length of copper pipe.
