I know this may seem weird, and it probaly won't last long, but who can find the weirdest instument? It can be from the web, a picture of your own, anything. I'll start.
LEGO Harpsichord
Beer Bottle Organ
Pikasso
O.K., so if you stumble upon a weird instument, be shure to post it.
not the weirdest instrument
but the weirdest setting
Drummers in classical music
"Today we'll play a string and woodwind piece that depicts the playful scurrying of field mice during a bright summers morning.......No, I'm sorry Steve, but there is no thunder in this piece at all, I'm afraid"
not the wierdest instrument, but the weirdest band

And that Pikasso... :o
lol @ two "Not the weirdest instrument"
be a great title for a sketch show about alternative music
the bottle organ sounds sweet...
and an elephant band? quite possibly the coolest thing i've see all year. i'd like to see what some chimps could do...
I have an impressive bone flute. ;)~
Cat piano ROFL. Now I know where Monty Python got the idea for the "mouse organ" they had in that one skit.
electron guitar is sweet.
and the cat piano is pretty funny in theory, although i wouldn't want to actually see it reinacted.
i think this was partially because it was 'in' to see animals as nothing more than souless machines (due to descartes 'ghost in the machine" philosophy). the aristocrats would kick dogs and cats to death for entertainment, and to show how 'enlightened' they were to know that animals are nothing more than machines... :roll:Quote:
The cat piano confirms Darnton's discovery that most early modern Europeans found the torture of cats funny[/b]
Well this is a group made out of luthiers who make their own instruments(wich sound very good), their music is extremly funny, so as the lyrics.
