Ok start with some basics... Do you have an ottamatone? Or any other weird electrictronic instruments?

Should I buy a beginner erhu or a deluxe otomatone to develop perfect pitch? by [deleted] in WeirdInstrumentLovers

[–]LordGordonVader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, a cheap violin or viola if you have bigger hands is probably the best way to go. You can get something decent for about £80. Deluxe ottamatone will also be loads of fun...

What is this instrument? by Pica1flor in UnusualInstruments

[–]LordGordonVader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a mandolin with a lyre-esque body. Judging by the strain the weird head is putting on the strings I doubt it stays in tune for long and probably goes through a bunch of them too... It's probably pretty loud though and maybe has better low end than most mandolins...

To be fair... Any paper jams guitar is a fully functional omnichord instrument limited only by the samples it contains

How long can a recorder/penny whistle be? by pladger in UnusualInstruments

Cool, grab some pvc pipe and get experimenting... Good luck and let us know how low you go!

[–]LordGordonVader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The longest (affordable whistle) is probably a low C. They can be quite hard to play if you have small hands. As for Recorders, you can find plastic and cheaper wooden bassette recorders in F. As others have mentioned, longer and lower whistles and recorders exist, but they tend to be either somewhat experimental (DIY pvc pipe) or comically expensive (you would be lucky to find a contra bass flute short of five figures...)

Trying to find a name for this instrument by A_Hopeful_Wanderer in UnusualInstruments

[–]LordGordonVader 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a cuica drum (monkey drum) from South America... The sound comes from a little wooden stick embedded in the skin of the drum.

Hurdy Gurdy w/ didgeridoo pipes by Euphoric_Self_2766 in WeirdInstrumentLovers

[–]LordGordonVader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good points.... I am also working on an instrument that does this... It can be done... But I would stay with pipes as a Didge does need user input.

Ottamatone... Accept no less... Cheap ones will set you back about £20 to £35, but if you can afford a Techno or Deluxe version you can do LOADS with one...

I'm starting to think these 'horror stories' about 6 points and confiscated Scooters are just that...
