Interesting instruments

A continuation from yesterday's post.

As mentioned, I'd checked out a few books from the library on various families of musical instruments. Then YouTubed the ones that I didn't know for sure what they sounded like.

Found most of these by accident, while searching for other instruments.


A contrabass saxophone! ("Tuned one octave below the baritone sax", the guy says.)




Found this also by accident: a "hang drum". I haven't Googled for more information, but it looks like an inverted steel drum.




This one looks cool -- but, as the guy demonstrates, it would be a little annoying the play (due to the exterior braces).





Finally, the Alphorn (skip ahead to about 1:12):




I like the alphorn. But, unless it disassembles, it'd be the dickens to store...
