Rezensionen
"The bottom line is that Junkyard Jam Band is a winner that boasts instruments for all ages. Even really young kids can have fun with the Elephant Trumpet, the CPVC Slide Whistle, and the Droid Voicebox, for example, while older kids would really appreciate playing an electric guitar for which they had constructed the pickup. For parents who have a bunch of kids, I can totally see them building all of the instruments described in the book and maybe even forming a modest family band."
EE Times

"If you are tired of just buying your instruments like everyone else, maybe it's time to be adventurous and pick up a copy of Junkyard Jam Band. David Erik Nelson's hope is that readers will discover the simplicity of creating noisemakers and it will open doors of creativity for music as well."
Maverick Magazine

"David Erik Nelson brings new meaning to improvisation. These projects take us on a remarkable journey into the fascinating world of electronics. If you like building things and learning about the world of sound, this book will be a great addition to your library. The book is highly recommended for all readers regardless of prior experience or expertise."
David Herres, author of The Homeowner's DIY Guide to Electrical Wiring

"A fantastic guide to creating your own musical instruments from upcycled and found materials. Junkyard Jam Band is very well written, full of helpful photographs, and the projects are open-ended enough that by the time you finish one you are ready to expand on it."
