The 69-year-old farmer previously made erhu, a two-stringed bowed instrument, in Linyi City, east China's Shandong Province. When his wife accidentally dropped an iron bowl on the ground, he realized there was a musicality in every day objects. /Photo via iqilu.com

Since then, Liu has transformed dozens of cheap and recycled materials into musical instruments, including bamboo tubes, motorcycle speakers and discarded wooden materials. /Photo via iqilu.com

One of Liu’s developed instruments, a string instrument made out of an iron bowl, obtained a national patent. /Photo via iqilu.com

Liu and three other farmers, with an average age of 67, formed a band. They play the musical instruments and sing together after finishing their farm work. /Photo via iqilu.com
