 Two toy Viking axes, each bent with a 1M pot and a 1M resistor, recased in a cigar box with left & right outputs. I wired both through one speaker on/off switch, which introduced some interference between the two circuits.  You can hear a sample here.

Camembert Bend
 A toy mirror that makes a cascading tone sound, bent with a 2M pot and a 1M resistor. I added body contacts as well, and recased it in an old camembert container.  You can hear a sample here.

Talk & Learn Numbers Bend
 A Scientific Toys Talk & Learn Numbers bent with a 1M pot, body contacts, and a wacky switch that sets it haywire. One of my more successful, to date. Carrie likes this one especially.  Listen to a sample here.

Relax Bend
 Here's another version of the toy cellphone bend a couple posts back.  The only technical difference is that I bypassed the resistor entirely.  I think it's an improvement, because it increases the range.  I think substituting brass acorn nuts for chrome changed the responsiveness.  This one really likes you to lick your fingers.  I also put in an led snipped from a toy I busted trying to bend it.  I note that it flashes a lot brighter when the speaker is off.  You can hear a sample here.
