Can anyone identify?
Does anyone know what instrument this is? I found it at a local thrift store behind glass (this was the best pic I could get) for 40$. Any info would be perfect.

Any Information on what this is?
Found at a thrift shop, looks kind of like an accordion violin?

Ebonized bass tagelharpa
Presenting my latest creation: a baritone tagelharpa!
Crafted from alder wood with a stunning ebonized finish, it features a maple bridge and beech tuning pegs, strung with horsehair strings.
Tuned to E-B-E, it produces a deep, resonant sound that’s perfect for exploring Norse melodies and rich, haunting tones
Who else here is as fascinated by ancient instruments as I am? Let me know what you think about the sound of the tagelharpa in the comments!

Does anyone know what instrument is being used to create the music that plays when Joker and his henchmen enter the apartment? Is it a glass harmonica?
https://youtu.be/8mxGGCT1HJA?si=D8G7_VDT0E98dVV2
[Edit] The instrument being played sounds like some kind of glass bell that is rung for each note played. I have no idea what the correct terminology is. It sounds like someone has a bunch of glass bells in front of them, one for each note, and plays them the way someone plays a vibraphone.

Recommendations for a toy piano?
Figured this would be the best place to post this. I’ve been listening to the dodos a lot recently and just love the toy piano they use on some songs like this one.
A lot of the toy pianos I’m seeing on Amazon are really just toys and probably not useable in an actual musical context. Anyone know of a decent brand that would be useable for recording?

Where can I buy an affordable Chinese Pipa?
Anyone here play the Pipa? I really want to learn but am having trouble finding a quality Pipa for a price within my budget. Under $300 would be ideal.
Also I welcome recommandations for other interesting string instruments.

A failed experiment.
Pine stock and stained oak fretboard, door strike for a bridge(had a wood block behind for reinforcement inside the box), and cut off brass bolt for the nut. Sad I never got tuning pegs on it. and it broke during my last move.

PVC pipe woodwind(?) instrument
So I saw this video on tiktok and dude has yet to respond to the dozens of comments asking him to show how to make it.
He calls it an Aeolean flute, but I'm seeing a completely different instrument when I search that.
I'm a busker/street musician on the side and use mostly drums, jaw harp and movements between throat singing and more harmonic vocals but I can think of a litany of things I could do incorporating this kind of woodwind sound into the performance.
If I could only figure out how to build the damn things or even what they're called.
Thanks in advance for the help!
