Show me udderbots

I want to see pictures of udderbots…

This is a tenor udderbot made from a Rosé bottle, the only bottle besides Grolsch in the entire wine store that had an attached lid.

It is tied with a rubber tourniquet, which improves on electrical tape in that it is reusable.

This one seems to be the classic Corona Extra alto. Blue water would have been a nice touch...

Picobot and two altos used in the World's First Udderbot Recital.

I think that red glove was purchased in Mexico or Ecuador. It was good while it lasted.

Also, I think that udderbot has a glue-on mustache on the barrel!

From 2018. Corona Xtra with Mr. Clean Yellow is still the gold standard. Those cork stoppers come in handy, too.

One of the most standard designs in fall 2005 at Rice University's Shepherd School: a Mickey's 40oz bottle, secured with some kind of foil tape intended for air ductwork. Lower register okay I guess, but you had to squeeze a lot of water to get to the higher register. And they leaked like the Dickens.

Tuxedo + champagne bottle + orange glove = Classy.

Ca. 2008 with David Tcheng, melodica and (can't remember horn player's name).

Reading chamber music with Tamara P., in Dan & Marji & Gugli's cozy Somerville apartment, ca. 2017.

There is a distinct lack of a better term than to call this udderbot uncircumsized. The glove is shimmied up the bot such that the glove hanging down is suited in volume to the volume of the bot, and simultaneously such that the diameter of the glove is thin enough to secure to the bot without any ripples in the glove.

There are also fancy ways of folding down the extra glove sleeve. You can just invert it down to make a 'skirt', or you can leave it upright and it will cloak the water moving action.

This kind of blue glove has vertical ridges which allow water to travel up and leak. What a pain.
