..someone is having big fun!
You can’t fool me. That’s Capt. Jean-Luc Picard playing the Rigelian pentoozla.
If you think that’s weird, the very same “Captain of the Enterprise” is playing a carrot/clarinet:

My wife spent $5,000 on a clarinet during music school, little did she know that she could have accomplished the same thing shopping at the local grocery store for $5.

The fellow with the rubber glove pipe is called Lindsay Pollak and he is a serious maker of eastern European bagpipes. I first encountered him in the late 1970s busking with a Balkan type of pipe outside a Bothy Band concert at the Rainbow in Finsbury Park. He later moved to Australia.
Last time I saw him he was at the early music trade show in London in the 1980s. His stand had a good selection of real instruments but he always attracted a crowd when he played a variant of the glove bagpipe. In this case it was called the"suitcase pipe" and was powered by a foot pump (the type for camp beds…). The tube went into a suitcase with two holes in the top. Inside were two gloves that would pop up through the holes as they inflated. A drone made of coiled pvc tube was also inside the case. Finally another tube came out of the case and up to a chanter which was turned in clear plastic so it blended with the tubing. The whole thing worked and, he said, as a busking instrument paid for itself in novelty value.
The tricky part of the design was getting reeds to be just the right strength to work with the elasticity of the gloves as you had no arm contact to increase or decrease the pressure.

I reckon Linsy Pollack is one of the world’s best musicians . He can play many instruments very well indeed.He is certainly a fantastic improviser..
I once saw him doing an improvising session at the Adelaide Festival in the eighties with an excellent pianist. Pollack was on sax mainly, although he played other things as well.
They asked the crowd for suggestions of themes for improvisiation, some smart alec called out “Tristan Tszara meets Vladimir Lenin in Paris”. The resulting blend of Mickey Mouse like dada, Roumanian gypsy, constructivist eiffeliana, martial anthems and avant garde classical was mind blowing…one of the greatest feats of improvisation I have ever heard, so clever, and cogent. I havent heard him play bebop, but I reckon he could give some of the greats a run for their money.
