Tucked in a box which doubles up as a drawer in her music room is YouTube sensation Belle Sisoski’s collection of folk and ethnic instruments. Some are custom made while others are picked from travels with her parents.

Among the items stuffed in the box of curiosities are a panflute, a Chinese flute and a jaw harp, which has a twang resembling the theme of the 1990s travel show, Globe Trekker.
