It’s the as-yet-unnamed bubblewrap instrument. So far the only suggestion is “xylopop”

I thought the SDMB denizens would probably be able to come up with some good name suggestions.

Preferably the name would have the word “bubble” in it.

“Tubular bubbles” ?  
“Bubble-o-phone” ???

Hmmmmmmmmmm

Requires some thinking - perhaps if I could stop playing it 🙂
