Toad, crab and magic carpet: Minsk resident creates unusual musical instruments Minsk resident Alexandra Plitoch turns coconuts, pumpkins, plywood and matcha into unusual kalimbas - compact musical instruments called "pocket pianos". Alexandra studied sculpture at Akramchik College and the Academy of Arts, worked with fiber reinforced concrete and created ice sculptures. The idea of making musical instruments appeared while she was still studying, and after the birth of her daughter, this hobby became an important part of her life. The master does not use instructional videos and masters who prepare climbs by trial and error. She processes materials independently and adjusts the sound of the instruments according to the ear. Now the master works right in his apartment, having equipped a workshop on the balcony.
