I love to find new instruments no-one's ever heard of because they're literally one-of-a-kind, having been invented by someone who most definitely marched to a different drum, because he or she designed it!
I stumbled across this site & listened to as many of the instruments as were available. I do wonder why there weren't samples of all of them, but perhaps they may be found elsewhere. Some are intriguing, some quite lovely, one which creates a self-admitted "obnoxious" sound, & at least one which would be great as background for a comedy scene.
Go see, & listen, & see what you think of them. Here's the URL: http://windworld.com/features/gallery/hans-reichels-daxophone/ Have you ever designed an instrument? Were you happy with its sound? If you have a sample, give us a link. A description or a photo would be nice, too.
Perhaps you prefer the instruments we all know, & have no desire to hear anything new & different. If so, why?
Whatever, be sure & have fun!

I have never done anything as exciting as this! However, my daddy did. He made a cool "guitar-like" instrument. It's part banjo, part guitar and some mandelin. He calls it his "manjotar." or something like that! He is so funny - but he can actually play it and it works well!

I don't suppose you have a recording you could share...no? I'd love to hear it. This is just one of the countless fun things I love to discuss/do! "Manjotar"...hee!
Funny!

That was a very strange sounding thing, and I really am not sure I see a place in the local orchestra for one unless someone writes a piece of music to go with it.
But it would've been fun instead of the kazoos behind the Sonny and Cher episode of UNCLE!

Yah no KIDDN'! Shoot, just humming would've beat kazoos...although, I gotta say, if you must play kazoos, Sonny & Cher would be a fitting target. They were sooo outlandish!
Well, Cher still is...
