That guy needs to duet with a hurdy-gurdy player. It would be wonderful.

I remember a friend put together a quick jam of unlikely instruments once, just to see the combination of them together.

I brought my mandolin. He had his bagpipes. Someone played washtub bass. There was a harpist with an actual orchestral grand harp. Three people brought didgeridus.

This guy would have totally fit there.

And in case you were wondering, it was a pretty tragically failed experiment. We couldn't come up with ANYTHING that everyone knew. And apparently it's not typically to be able to just jam on harp or bagpipes. Although everyone but the didgeridus sounded good on Amazing Grace.
