Some clever and others downright bizarre, these unique inventions stray a long way from tradition.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Marble Machine<\/h3>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\">\n<div class=\"container-lazyload preview-lazyload container-youtube js-lazyload--not-loaded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IvUU8joBb1Q\" class=\"lazy-load-youtube preview-lazyload preview-youtube\" data-video-title=\"Wintergatan - Marble Machine (music instrument using 2000 marbles)\" title=\"Play video &quot;Wintergatan - Marble Machine (music instrument using 2000 marbles)&quot;\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IvUU8joBb1Q<\/a><noscript>Video can&#8217;t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IvUU8joBb1Q\" title=\"Wintergatan - Marble Machine (music instrument using 2000 marbles)\">Wintergatan &#8211; Marble Machine (music instrument using 2000 marbles) (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IvUU8joBb1Q)<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Swedish folktronica group Wintergatan are no strangers to unconventional instruments. They&#8217;ve used a typewriter as percussion and a handmade punch-card music box. Over the course of two years between 2014 and 2016, the band&#8217;s own Martin Molin built the incredibly elaborate Marble Machine.<\/p>\n<p>The hand-cranked music box is a mechanical marvel. It works by collecting and carefully hoisting hundreds of marbles up through the machine, where they can then be released to strike various instruments built into the device. You probably won&#8217;t see these mass-produced on Sweetwater any time soon, but the one-of-a-kind Marble Machine is truly genius.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Toha<\/h3>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\">\n<div class=\"container-lazyload preview-lazyload container-youtube js-lazyload--not-loaded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=V883gPZtO_Y\" class=\"lazy-load-youtube preview-lazyload preview-youtube\" data-video-title=\"Victor Gama: Rio Cubango at Concertgebouw Amsterdam\" title=\"Play video &quot;Victor Gama: Rio Cubango at Concertgebouw Amsterdam&quot;\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=V883gPZtO_Y<\/a><noscript>Video can&#8217;t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=V883gPZtO_Y\" title=\"Victor Gama: Rio Cubango at Concertgebouw Amsterdam\">Victor Gama: Rio Cubango at Concertgebouw Amsterdam (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=V883gPZtO_Y)<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instrmnts.com\/toha-2\/\">toha<\/a>, or totem harp, was inspired by nature. Weaver birds of southern Africa build round, communal nests. In a similar sense, the toha is a circular harp with 44 strings made to be played by two musicians at once.<\/p>\n<p>The totem harp is the brainchild of Victor Gama, and one of five experimental instruments. It&#8217;s also part of an interactive musical exhibit, where visitors are encouraged to play multi-person instruments as a group.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Marxophone<\/h3>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\">\n<div class=\"container-lazyload preview-lazyload container-youtube js-lazyload--not-loaded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dc9kmL_0GLQ\" class=\"lazy-load-youtube preview-lazyload preview-youtube\" data-video-title=\"MARXOPHONE - Fretless zither w\/\u201cbouncing\u201d metal hammers (circa 1920s)\" title=\"Play video &quot;MARXOPHONE - Fretless zither w\/\u201cbouncing\u201d metal hammers (circa 1920s)&quot;\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dc9kmL_0GLQ<\/a><noscript>Video can&#8217;t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dc9kmL_0GLQ\" title=\"MARXOPHONE - Fretless zither w\/\u201cbouncing\u201d metal hammers (circa 1920s)\">MARXOPHONE &#8211; Fretless zither w\/\u201cbouncing\u201d metal hammers (circa 1920s) (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dc9kmL_0GLQ)<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The patent for the marxophone dates all the way back to 1912, and the instrument was manufactured by various companies between the &#8217;20s and &#8217;50s. A marxophone is a &#8220;fretless zither,&#8221; or a stringed instrument that generates sound by metal hammers plucking the strings. Its sound is somewhat similar to a mandolin or a hammered dulcimer.<\/p>\n<h3>4. HAPI Drum<\/h3>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\">\n<div class=\"container-lazyload preview-lazyload container-youtube js-lazyload--not-loaded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xdX7JXb88ls\" class=\"lazy-load-youtube preview-lazyload preview-youtube\" data-video-title=\"HAPI DRUM DEMO\" title=\"Play video &quot;HAPI DRUM DEMO&quot;\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xdX7JXb88ls<\/a><noscript>Video can&#8217;t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xdX7JXb88ls\" title=\"HAPI DRUM DEMO\">HAPI DRUM DEMO (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xdX7JXb88ls)<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The HAPI steel drum is an intuitive percussion instrument made to be picked up and played by anyone. It creates sound via eight tuned vibrating tongues of steel that, when struck, produce a pleasant sound. The drum&#8217;s note arrangement makes it easy to create music right away, even without an instrumental background.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Chapman Stick<\/h3>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\">\n<div class=\"container-lazyload preview-lazyload container-youtube js-lazyload--not-loaded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=78hlYpydv5g\" class=\"lazy-load-youtube preview-lazyload preview-youtube\" data-video-title=\"Tony Levin on The Chapman Stick | Reverb Interview\" title=\"Play video &quot;Tony Levin on The Chapman Stick | Reverb Interview&quot;\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=78hlYpydv5g<\/a><noscript>Video can&#8217;t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=78hlYpydv5g\" title=\"Tony Levin on The Chapman Stick | Reverb Interview\">Tony Levin on The Chapman Stick | Reverb Interview (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=78hlYpydv5g)<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Chapman produces 8-, 10-, and 12-string tapping instruments for use in a variety of genres. While not an everyday instrument, the Chapman Stick does feature in popular genres and has been heard in music by King Crimson, Peter Gabriel, Steven Wilson, and others. The design itself isn&#8217;t terribly foreign, as it&#8217;s essentially a 36-inch scale fretboard that players tap with both hands.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Hydraulophone<\/h3>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\">\n<div class=\"container-lazyload preview-lazyload container-youtube js-lazyload--not-loaded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=deyHTDSg5BQ\" class=\"lazy-load-youtube preview-lazyload preview-youtube\" data-video-title=\"James Hancock playing hydraulophone at CCRMA, Stanford University\" title=\"Play video &quot;James Hancock playing hydraulophone at CCRMA, Stanford University&quot;\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=deyHTDSg5BQ<\/a><noscript>Video can&#8217;t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=deyHTDSg5BQ\" title=\"James Hancock playing hydraulophone at CCRMA, Stanford University\">James Hancock playing hydraulophone at CCRMA, Stanford University (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=deyHTDSg5BQ)<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>A hydraulophone is an atypical acoustic instrument where sound is generated by restricting or releasing the flow of water through multiple sound holes. The timbre is tranquil in and of itself, and the gentle rushing of water further enhances the overall experience. Hydraulophones have been used as sensory exploration devices for people with low vision.<\/p>\n<h3>7. Wheelharp<\/h3>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\">\n<div class=\"container-lazyload preview-lazyload container-youtube js-lazyload--not-loaded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MGOqIYo9cBE\" class=\"lazy-load-youtube preview-lazyload preview-youtube\" data-video-title=\"Wheelharp - Nicholas Pike\" title=\"Play video &quot;Wheelharp - Nicholas Pike&quot;\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MGOqIYo9cBE<\/a><noscript>Video can&#8217;t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MGOqIYo9cBE\" title=\"Wheelharp - Nicholas Pike\">Wheelharp &#8211; Nicholas Pike (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MGOqIYo9cBE)<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The wheelharp has an antiquated look and uses old technology, but it&#8217;s every bit a modern instrument since it debuted in 2013. It&#8217;s a keyboard-operated string instrument with 61 actual strings; some descriptions have said it&#8217;s almost like having a chamber string orchestra at the player&#8217;s disposal.<\/p>\n<h3>8. Yaybahar<\/h3>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\">\n<div class=\"container-lazyload preview-lazyload container-youtube js-lazyload--not-loaded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_aY6TxC1ojA\" class=\"lazy-load-youtube preview-lazyload preview-youtube\" data-video-title=\"Yaybahar by G\u00f6rkem \u015een\" title=\"Play video &quot;Yaybahar by G\u00f6rkem \u015een&quot;\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_aY6TxC1ojA<\/a><noscript>Video can&#8217;t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_aY6TxC1ojA\" title=\"Yaybahar by G\u00f6rkem \u015een\">Yaybahar by G\u00f6rkem \u015een (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_aY6TxC1ojA)<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Yaybahar is another unique acoustic instrument designed by Turkish musician Gorkem Sen. The sounds it makes are truly bizarre, and the instrument is played by striking, bowing, or otherwise manipulating two long strings centered between a pair of drum heads. This one is definitely best seen and heard than described!<\/p>\n<h3>9. Zeusaphone<\/h3>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\">\n<div class=\"container-lazyload preview-lazyload container-youtube js-lazyload--not-loaded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=93T0mVddBgM\" class=\"lazy-load-youtube preview-lazyload preview-youtube\" data-video-title=\"Bohemian Rhapsody Meets Singing Tesla Coils\" title=\"Play video &quot;Bohemian Rhapsody Meets Singing Tesla Coils&quot;\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=93T0mVddBgM<\/a><noscript>Video can&#8217;t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=93T0mVddBgM\" title=\"Bohemian Rhapsody Meets Singing Tesla Coils\">Bohemian Rhapsody Meets Singing Tesla Coils (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=93T0mVddBgM)<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Zeusaphone is a high-performance musical Tesla coil, and if that doesn&#8217;t sound both terrifying and intriguing, we&#8217;re not sure what will. The concept behind musical Tesla coils is to essentially harness and control electricity to create pressure waves for making audible pitches. The Zeusaphone is both an audio\/visual experience unlike anything else, and easily one of the weirdest instruments out there.<\/p>\n<h3>10. Pikasso Guitar<\/h3>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=aNkTMyuP2zM<\/p>\n<p>Master luthier Linda Manzer designed and built the Pikasso for jazz guitarist Pat Metheny in 1984. Metheny requested a guitar with as many strings as possible, and the Pikasso is what she developed. It consists of 42 strings in four different sections, all arranged in a recognizable, oversized <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/how-to-record-acoustic-guitar-2\/\">acoustic guitar<\/a> body.<\/p>\n<h3>11. Sharpsichord<\/h3>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\">\n<div class=\"container-lazyload preview-lazyload container-youtube js-lazyload--not-loaded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Ypi-sDKUQRo\" class=\"lazy-load-youtube preview-lazyload preview-youtube\" data-video-title=\"Pin-Barrel Harp with Henry Dagg (Saw)  Long &amp; Winding Road\" title=\"Play video &quot;Pin-Barrel Harp with Henry Dagg (Saw)  Long &amp; Winding Road&quot;\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Ypi-sDKUQRo<\/a><noscript>Video can&#8217;t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Ypi-sDKUQRo\" title=\"Pin-Barrel Harp with Henry Dagg (Saw)  Long &amp; Winding Road\">Pin-Barrel Harp with Henry Dagg (Saw)  Long &amp; Winding Road (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Ypi-sDKUQRo)<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Last but not least in this collection of weird instruments is the sharpsichord\u2014a 46-string harp played by a pin-cylinder. The two and a half ton monstrosity is the creation of English composer Henry Dagg, who&#8217;s played the sharpsichord with Bj\u00f6rk. It took him roughly five years to complete<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion: Weird Instruments<\/h3>\n<p>Most definitely not your run-of-the-mill musical tools, these weird instruments make unusual sounds in some very unconventional ways.
