The best cover version in history
Probably the first DnB song I ever heard as my Nana and Uncle were both massive Jamiroquai fans and this was on heavy rotation in the late 90s.

Anyone know what this is? Sorta looks like an Oud with extra strings to me
I’m not sure how unusual this is but I play a Bass Ukulele
What is this? Making a diy horror sound box and trying to find one (hopefully that can be screwed on).
Testing my Mini Kalimba (Thumb Paino)
I’m testing the sound to hear if it sound good or not since it’s my first time playing a mini kalimba. I purchased it from Earthbound store, and since I have the mini kalimba, I’ll have to find some music notes.

Mystery Ancient Autoharp, Please help! ♥️
Also posting in the autoharp sub, as I'm starving for info here 🙏
I love autoharps and am a beginner with a newer one,
but this isn't it - I got this off Facebook marketplace
today for 75$. I just fell in love with the look of it. The
black fingerboard piece is black painted wood, and
the chord/note markings you see on it are all
painted. I can't find a brand or mark of any kind on it
anywhere.
I want to fix it up desperately, and here are the
challenges I see so far - its missing a few strings
(but the pegs are all there) and some of the foam
levers (? sorry, I can't remember what they're called,
like I said l'm a newbie, my apologies ) inside have
rotted - but not completely, and if I press the buttons,
the levers still (mostly) go up and down, even if some
of the buttons are more responsive than others.
The wood base itself is flat, uncracked, and except
for a few scuffs, seems very sturdy. I am in love
blease, does anyone have any advice on where to go
for repair advice online, or have any idea who made
this beautiful thing?? Please help!
One side note I do want to add -I found this today on
Facebook marketplace, while down in Winnipeg MB
on a work trip. In a few days I return to my home
which is, not to be dramatic, in a Arctic remote
community. Any repairs made I will almost certainly
nave to do myself, unless a luthier in the Winnipeg
area is willing to have me stop by in the next few
days I can still order stuff where I live though -it
just takes a while to get there 😅
New, FREE string sample library like you've never heard
Hi Again - Bowed Effigy was released two weeks back. This unique instrument was designed to replace traditional solo string instruments with something more primitive, raw and unpredictable. The resulting sounds were crafted by bowing a steel string acoustic guitar and initial response has been super positive! There are both legato and polyphonic patches and some custom designed pads to boot. If you need something gritty, emotional and full of character, I encourage you to give it a try!

My feed is now full of weird musical instruments
Original post: @ rootflute on Instagram (yes, they hand made this instrument)
Would anyone know of a maker in the United States I could contact to have a Thai Pin Pia made?
hi so I just found out about the Phin Pia and I think it sounds really pretty and would be an awesome addition to my collection of weird instrument, but I can’t find anywhere to get one in the united states. if anyone knows a place I can find one, please let me know!
The Toner Kebab
"Danaël is an artist and inventor based in France. He creates experimental instruments that originate from the movements of his work. His latest work, 'Kebab Symphony,' reconstructs the hand movements of a kebab chef into a musical instrument. Instead of rotating meat, he spins the instrument, and instead of a knife, he uses a bow to produce sound. In essence, the motion of slicing the kebab becomes a performance in itself."
