Unusual and Strange Musical Instruments Compilation Part 2

Have a listen to some of the unusual instruments that I came across lately. Here´s some info to each instrument, followed by a link to the original video. #1 Barcoder: The setup generates sounds by connecting scan-signals of a barcode scanner to a powered speaker. #2 Similar to a glass harp, this organ like instrument is played by running moistened or chalked fingers on the metal bars. Each bar is linked to a tube that is tuned to a different pitch. NO SOURCE #3 The sheng is a Chinese mouth-blown free reed instrument consisting of vertical pipes. It is a polyphonic instrument and enjoys an increasing popularity as a solo instrument. #4 A plastic can modified into a guitar and an additional didgeridoo. A Guitarridoo! #5 A musical road is a road, or section of a road, which when driven over causes a tactile vibration and audible rumbling that can be felt through the wheels within the car. #6 The stringed and electric harpejji aims to bridge the gap in sound and technique between the guitar, bass guitar, and piano.
