The World's Wildest Musical Instruments

Post the all the zany, wild, contemporary or surreal musical instruments you know about. Here's a bunch I've been getting into of late. Anything from exotic to oddball to established to epic to to software to the latest crunchy gadgets! But try to post a sweet clip of them in effects.

PLEASE ONLY ONE VIDEO EMBED PER POST BOX SO THE PAGES AREN'T TOO HEAVY FOR PEOPLE TO LOAD.

I got thinking about this thread a tick ago after playing this one clip I happened on:

The Surreal Sounds of the World’s Wildest Instruments

Cool examples such as Ken Butler's sick string instrument inventions (from junk), the Great Stalacpipe Organ, the Vegetable Orchestra, the Theramin, and last but not least The Apprehension Engine.
