Performer transforms unusual items into musical instruments

Meet the performer who transforms guns, boots, hockey sticks, suitcases, coat hangers and more into musical instruments.

Ken Butler, 70, from Brooklyn, New York, has made over 400 of the unusual creations repurposed from everyday and unusual items. While working as an artist he began to recognize the similarities between the shape of the human skeleton and that of a guitar. This would lead him to pick up a hatchet axe and put it under his chin in 1978, realizing that it could be transformed into a violin.
