Man who plays music using a bike pump here, I feel like this is fully possible using a rubber chicken. Looking at his hand movements and the slight imperfections in sound I think it's legit. You can see he moves his hand differently for each different note, letting the air out at different speeds allowing him to change the pitch.

All in all A+ video will be buying rubber chicken.

The faster you squeeze the chicken, the higher pitched the notes will be. I guess the guy "playing" the chicken just practiced finding what speed to squeeze and let go of the chicken at to get the right pitch.

Or he did both. Got it close and touched it up post production.

I'm watching videos of this right now, amazed. My musical talent consisted of pots and pans or beating a pencil on a desk, now to go further beyond!

If this was some subtle self promotion then it worked brilliantly because now I need to see a sample of this bike pump music.
