I'm really getting into funny old instruments with kinda quirky, but pleasant sounds. Nothing you'd use more than once on an album.
Melodicas, stylophones, old casios, reed organs, that kinda thing.
What should be added to the collection? (cheap please  )

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Austin, TX | | | I have this weird percussion instrument, but I have no idea what it's called. It is a piece of spring metal attached to a handle and two little balls on two smaller pieces of spring metal on either side of the larger piece. You hold it by the handle with your thumb on the end of the larger metal piece, and shake it so the balls knock on it, and you push your thumb on the metal piece to change the pitch of its ringing. I can remember hearing this contraption in old cartoons when they are depicting a tornado blowing stuff around. |

Thumb Piano
Spoons (Made of different woods/metals for different flavors).
Tibetan singing bowl Hmmm. A good one ain't cheap though.
