And of course, there's the commodium, a resonator mandolin made from a bedpan by Keith Carey, the cello player in the video.
If the links don't work, search YouTube for "Hokum Blues w Vocal Trio and Commodium".

Robert Johnson's mother, describing blues musicians:
"I never did have no trouble with him until he got big enough to be round with bigger boys and off from home. Then he used to follow all these harp blowers, mandoleen (sic) and guitar players."

My friend, a studio musician in L.A., has played his "bed-pan-dolin" for decades. It always gets a good reaction, and works well in certain situations.
