The title tells everything. I started this topic, because there are lots of strange musical instruments, and they are interesting.
If you can take picture in, please do it!!!

I start: The WARR guitar:

I'd have to say the Didgeridoo, but I cannot post a picture of it.

Wow that guitar truly is weird... I'd say that 5 neck guitar the guy from Cheap Trick uses.

If you can take a picture, please do it! The five necked guitar could be rally heavy to use I think:

The Pocket Trumpet...


Thats pretty cool. A weird instrument to me is a Bassoon, I don't know about you guys, but I think of a bong whenever I see it.

I think of it as a duck whenever I hear it....

Another weird instrument for me is the Erhu, which is kinda like a violin. The weird part about it
is the tone, which sounds like it's a vocal instrument... If you have the DVD for Mulan II, the starter
screen would have the erhu in
the musical background.

I like the Theremin (The thing he waves Bill waves his hand at at a few seconds after 1:00)

Looking at the pictures of all of the multi-necked guitars, my first thought is, "What's the point?" You can only play one at a time.

Of course this is completely ignoring the fact that they look neat. The only practical purpose I can think of is to have each one tuned in a different key. Although why you'd need four or five guitars each in a different key is beyond me.

At any rate, as far as odd instruments go, I quite enjoy the mountain dulcimer. They're fun to play, I should dig mine out!
