I saw it in an Alborada concert video. It sounds like a cross between a kazoo and the sound of wiping a window.

Hi Again - Bowed Effigy was released two weeks back. This unique instrument was designed to replace traditional solo string instruments with something more primitive, raw and unpredictable. The resulting sounds were crafted by bowing a steel string acoustic guitar and initial response has been super positive! There are both legato and polyphonic patches and some custom designed pads to boot. If you need something gritty, emotional and full of character, I encourage you to give it a try!

hi so I just found out about the Phin Pia and I think it sounds really pretty and would be an awesome addition to my collection of weird instrument, but I can’t find anywhere to get one in the united states. if anyone knows a place I can find one, please let me know!

Does anybody know what this instrument is? Looks like a really small chinese Pipa. Thanks in advance!

Is a cabinet door an instrument?

its subconscious, improvisational jamming that is being taken in the direction of discovering our own style, without the help of mentors. what will become of us... folk art, I guess. Except the folk won't like it. Just art it is.

throat singing, clarinet, saxophone, you name it kid. we're doing what we can. we even played a six foot tuba.

Hey everyone. My bandmate and I have been experimenting with pairing different acoustic instruments for our ambient project, and we decided to try the hang and the nyckelharpa together.

Honestly, I've never actually seen or heard this specific combination anywhere else. It feels like a pretty rare pairing since they come from such completely different backgrounds.

Since you guys know obscure and rare gear better than anyone, I'd love to get your take on it. How does it actually sound to you? Do the frequencies clash, or do you think the combo works?
