Some great vintage soviet industrial played on various weird-ass instruments.

This is a cool thread. The videos where they sit around and talk about their instruments instead of playing the damn things are aggravating as hell though.

Vibraband






Mouth xylophone (?)

My band acquired a TaishoGoto (Nagoya Harp) several years ago and have a few songs that feature it.

Very cool Miyazaki ST feel.

^So that's how that sound is made! Cool instrument. Never saw that one before.



Here's the Sabionari guitar, the only currently playable Stradivarius guitar, in action.

It's nice, isn't it? Thrift store find, believe it or not.

^Lucky bastards

Here's about as close to the daxophone as you can get (although it's still pretty far from it)


Some instruments are right outside our own homes

Ah, nice! Jon Rose and his fences. Didn't know he got the Kronos Quartet to play them.
Apparently Hans Reichel once organized a daxophone quartet to be played by KQ, but they found it to be quite difficult and the whole project more or less failed.
I really hope someone will eventually master the dax as well as Reichel himself.
There's a freshly released album by Junji Hirose and Kazuhisa Uchihashi called Saxophonedaxophone. Really hope it'll utilize the instrument in an appropriately cool way.

Can't find too many videos of this, and one of them is ****ing sideways, but I can say that I want a Stamenphone.
