Title: Weird musical instruments
Post by: spencer on June 15, 2025, 08:05:25 am
Post weird instruments (bonus points for metal)


electric 6 string cello w/ fuzz


so mad that this guy hasn't shared stl/gcode for this because pocket-sized bari sax is my dream instrument
sometimes I debate just paying someone to figure this out and print one for me tbh


drums are the only normal instrument in this black metal band


slide saxophone?

Whenever I'm at a EDM show, I find myself envisioning an instrument based off of the same chain and gear system that bicycles have.  The chain would go through it's loop, activating different physical triggers that the player could mount and unmount.  The physical triggers could be any number of percussive instruments or even piano strings of different length.  Essentially, the player is able to make a loop for a dance song in real time using physical systems instead of an electronic one.

I feel like I've seen something like this but can't find it. It reminds me of Author & Punisher who makes his own electronic instruments with the philosophy that heavy mechanisms translate into heavy sounds



Also his album "Krüller" is great

that's the weirdest harmonica I've ever seen

I think this might actually count as a harmonica, the mechanics are pretty much the same

It sounds like one too! Except way cooler. Like if a harmonica was a pipe organ

I don't know if these count as weird but they were very big and I liked them, it was certainly novel



It was super loud and it filled the street with music and they didn't even need to use an amp

I like listening to Dirtwire so mouth harps aren't really weird to me, but I guess for most people they are a weird instrument

YouTube has started recommending weird musical instruments to me now. I blame this thread
