Dion Dublin Invents Instrument

2010-02-14 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 25 Comments
Former international footballer Dion Dublin is preparing to launch himself onto the public stage once again - with an instrument he's invented that he dubs, "The Dube."

The former Manchester United, Aston Villa, Celtic and England star says the idea came to him "three or four years ago" and he thought "I've got to do something with the idea." The instrument is a white cube invented by Dublin - hence the name, "The Dube" - and is essentially a hand-held drum, although little else is known about the design at this point.

Dublin has set up a website to promote the product, and he gave a sneak peek at the instrument's capabilities on BBC's 606 football phone-in last year.

Step 1: Instrument didn't exist.
Step 2: He makes said instrument.
Step 3: World has new instrument.

It has a nice range, actually, I could think of a lot of useful applications in certain ethnic styles that would give a nice vocal personality to the percussion.

The fact that Dion Dublin did this is so random, and yet so awesome because he played for Celtic... for a little bit at least... at the end of his career... and he really didn't do anything... but yeah.

Coventry City legend! He can come and do the music at half-time down here at the Ricoh, if it saves us from the Fratellis...
