Favorite Less Common Instrument

Sign in to disble this ad
I saw the "MOST ANNOYING INSTRUMENT" thread so I'm gonna start the favorite less common instrument thread. It's less common so no bass or guitar.

Mine is the steel drums.

Yours?

Wow, someone else here who knows Duduk. Hauntingly beautiful instrument.

I'll ad Oud - fretless ancestor of the lute, used in Turkish and Arab music.
