On Friday, July 9th, Locally Toned TV debuted at the Waffle Shop and invited members of the audience to participate in the live making of custom ringtones. These ringtones were created “on the spot,” and included such instruments as the concertina, hand harmonica, and mouth horn.

Locally Toned is a not-for-profit venture that involves Pittsburghers in the creation of original ringtones, and then provides the free tones to the public via a website and MMS (multimedia messaging service) distribution. The project is headed by artist and media literacy consultant, Teresa Foley and supported by Deeplocal and Encyclopedia Destructica.
