Music instruments you find curious or interesting

[RACISM]

Pass me the aux cable.

The American Fotoplayer, a relic from the silent movies days when this would be used to accompany things. 10 left in the world and I really want one.

 

[Phalanges Mycologist]

I love the theremin, used for the spooky 'oooooooo' sound in cheesy 50's horror and sci-fi movies.

I love that sound, I've been told that each recording is unique because the tones and sounds depend on the time place and space it's recorded in you can get close but never perfectly the same.

When my neice was 2 "She" got me a gift card to a sci-fi shop (it was her mum) but I got a model UFO abducting a Cow that played the Oooooeeeooooooo sound and some others, I'm going to put it together with her when she's older and give her some of the UFO books I had at that age.

A relic from the 80s, the Casio DG-20, which was a synth-guitar hybrid.

The japanese Koto, which is related to the Chinese Guzheng.

I would love that and the Roland GR700 but you need both the guitar and board unit to use.

 

[Ughubughughughughughghlug]

I like htat little jap flute from Ghost of Tsushima.

 

[zDemcn_]

A relic from the 80s, the Casio DG-20, which was a synth-guitar hybrid.

Holy fuck that's both good looking and good sounding. I don't even play guitar but I'd probably learn it just to try that out.

 

[Kurt Eichenwald]

Here's the nyckelharpa, a sort of violin thing with keys and drone strings. I haven't looked into buying one of these because I'm scared to find out what the price would be, but it seems like the perfect thing for those of us who wish we could play the violin but can't figure out how to use a fretless neck.

 

[Sneeds]

The contrabass saxophone has always seemed very interesting to me.

As someone who used to play alto saxophone in school. I was always intrigued by the different saxophones like the soprano, baritone, bass, and obviously the contra bass saxophone. I’ve wanted to play baritone saxophone but they’re expensive. (As with most woodwind instruments)

 

[Shamefur Dispray]

Simple little instrument but I like it the Jew Harp, I've got one but I am not musical at all.
also the Shamisen and Banjo are both pretty dope

 

[Ughubughughughughughghlug]

Sacred bowl of the Himalayas
Must work similarly to a theremin, come to think of it.

 

[Sayer of the N-Word]

I've always wanted a bubul tarang to play with, but the build quality of the more affordable ones is fairly low, so I might as well build my own. I just never quite feel the inspiration needed to do so.

 

[Ma Wang]

The xaphoon. Looks like the bastard child of a recorder and a clarinet, but sounds like a saxophone.

 

[Executive Petrel]

The gong is easily the most majestic and intimidating of all instruments. there is something incredibly divine and powerful about it.
It sounds like a device to channel the power of ancient gods.
