Perhaps my strangest is a plastic Five-Tone Musical Tube. It's a grooved plastic tube that, when you swing it around really fast, it makes a high pitched tone. The faster you swing, the higher the tone. (I can only get four so far) I also have a couple of Mbiras, one handmade from South Africa, with primitive metals, no less! |

I know those tubes only as having one tone, not actually changing very much in pitch once you have it up and running. hence there being different ones for different tones. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
only natural tones, as those are but a few you'd have to have more then one, like the key on a trumpet |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's probably the same as with certain flutes where blowing harder produces different tones. as such, you just haven't tried hard enough. I have an mbira too.. handmade from africa as well... I don't really have any odd instruments, but I can use just about anything... |

Well that isn't a surprise really is it? |

|
|
a program called Granny or Granulab. what the fuck. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, but it is an indication that it lends itself to be played by more than one person instead of just one person dexterously trying to vary the speed and thus the tone. |

minus the stand and sheet music holder |

I have some kind of Ghanaan drum. Its made from carved wood and animal skin. It was an odd present brought back from a friends from Africa. What better gift could you ask for. The same friends also brought me an African wooden witch doctor mask thing, so with the two together I can get some serious voodoo shit goin on. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wow... have you wished death upon anyone with the mask yet? ;) |
||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i got given some stringed stick with a headstock and bow from egypt, also has a sort of tabla built at the end of it, which i dont use, as i really dont like the sound of tablas.. they remind me of crap records from the early nineties which tried to sound "ethnic" |
||||||||
|

|
|
Zoob tube! its just a long sealed tube with a spring inside it and a little finger hole, and any sort of interraction whatsoever produces a cool electonique style zzzzzap |

I bought a gusla, when I was in Croatia. It's their national instrument (or so I was told). It's not that strange actually, but I don't own many instruments anyway. It looks rather similar to the one on this . It's not only a string instrument, it's also some kind of a drum. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and it's probably called gusle, not gusla, in case i'm insulting some croatians :) |
||||||||

Ha, this post reminded me about the mask. My friend called round this afternoon and I put it on when I opened the door. He was suitably freaked out and confused :) |

please guys help me: i once saw a guy in the streets playing an strange instrument that made an amazing sound, like glass bells sounding or kinda. it was metallic and looked like a little flying plate, of more or less 30 cm of diameter. the guy played it kicking arround the plate with his hands, and depending of the zone of the plate, it made a different note... anyone knows how is it called? i need one of that... |

I have Fruityloops and a banjo. flwp2 1/4: That looks nice. I want one. |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|
|
i imagine if you could reach that organ with your mouth we'd never hear from you again. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
damn, i have TWO of those, actually! ones in my room and one is in my dad's attic, because it's broken. i love those magnus chord organs.... especially that old vacuum tube sound. the way it wheezes... beautiful! |

you'd like to play more with your "girlfriend"s cock? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well seeing as my "girlfriend"s cock is located on my body I do, on occassion, play with it. EVEN WHEN SHE'S NOT THERE! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

bagpipes. my grandpas old set, i haven't really played them or even tried. not my thing, besides too much sentimental value to end up fucking them up in vain. |
