Thought it might be interesting to start a thread on weird instruments.

What do you make of this? Its called a resonant chamber.

    Why do the saddles on the 9 string lute thingy move ?
    and the 9 string lute fingers can’t strum “downwards”
    And the action is too high
    on that basis I’m out

    Hmmm?



    Max Kohl actually built this in 1905 (although I'm not sure he saw it as a 'musical instrument')...

    about the weirdest that I've seen in the flesh is the nyckelharpa: Nyckelharpa - Wikipedia

    It always looks to me like an someone gave a brief to an engineer to design an instrument that sounded a bit like a fiddle, but had none of the issues around intonation. 

    I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.

    That original animation kind of reminded me of Pat Metheney's Orchestrion project and some of the instrument 'bots' they created for it..
