Now I want to see someone put together an entire orchestral piece using all of these instruments in some way.
Imagine being asked what instrument you play, then you respond saying “The Hurdy-Gurdy”
Less talk please! I want to hear the intrument
So you don’t want to learn,
about the instruments,
on a channel, that explains things,
that’s weird,
I didn’t complain,
that a different video,
on the same topic,
didn’t explain the instruments,
maybe watch that video instead,
of complaining, on this one,
P.S., I do not want a pointless argument,
I just giving you opinion.
@@mirandalyneetestewart3083 shut up
@c why, I was giving an opinion,
also, rude.
Isn’t it due to copyright reasons?
*Number 1:* Mayonnaise
*Honorable Mentions:* Horseradish
No Friendship, Mayonnaise is not an instrument
Horseradish is not an instrument either
Oh boy clearly you have been watching a good number of classic spongebob squarepants episodes 😆😁😄😃😀😅😀😃😄😁😆😅🤣😂🙂🙃😉😊😇🥰😍🤩
Why do I see you everywhere
mayonnaise is actually a drum
your profile pic is trash
The metal band Eluevetite has been using a hurdy gurdy since they first started. Sounds great and works well with their music.
#1 Mayonaise
Wade k 21 oh my god, this made my day 😂😂😂
No Patrick. Mayonnaise is not an instrument.
Stardust Sonic No Patrick. Horse Radish isn’t an instrument either
Boris approves
I approve mayonnaise is a instrument
Also expected to see floopy drives orchestra here.
I fangirled so hard when Patty Gurdy was on
Cool... we only got to hear 3 instruments for more than 3 seconds. Some we didn't get to hear at all. Do your editors have brain damage or something?
I wanted to hear that marble machine!
Chaos89P just look up the marble machine on TH-cam. He is also working on the Marble Machine X.
The only one you didn't get to hear was the Marble Machine, which actually does have its own video on TH-cam. You heard enough to have an idea of the instruments work. Sometimes I guess people just want to be assholes.
ONLY PERSON BEING AN ARSEHOLE IS YOU LAMB...
Lol
1. the magic pipe invented by Mike Silverman, better known as That 1 Guy, itis a series of pipes stings and electronic componentry that creates a unique sound.
2. a Corillian eventually a series of bells with levers to create a harmonious sound
3. the laser harp. a series of laser beams that when broken emits a musical note
4. the Largaphone, popular in Australian bush bands this percussion instrument is basically a stick with a rubber stopper on one end about 1000 beer caps nailed to it down its length it is played by slamming it into the ground an striking it with a stick.
5, the Flatus flute, what can a say its a woodwind instrument you play by farting into itok so i cant come up with 10
I love the sound of the glass harmonica and the hydraulophone, it sounds so beautiful
you forgot to mention one of the reasons the glass harmonica was left in the past, it was often made with leaded glass.
It’s all so Bjork!!!
(What about Reactable?)
LOVE IT.. WELL DONE PEPES..
Theremin has to be number 1
Fascinating! I wonder if you discovered, during your research, that Léon Theremin, inventor of the musical instrument of the same name, was involved in Russian espionage during the Cold War? I just Googled him and got the fact that it was one of his inventions, called "The Thing," was embedded into a wooden replica of the US Great Seal that was presented to the US embassy in Moscow by Russian school children in 1945. The Soviets then listened in on private and important conversations in the office until its discovery during remodeling in 1952! An interesting coincidence was that Hollywood horror films made great use of the theremin---including the original black and white film, "THE THING"!!!
I AM A HURDY GURDIST I AM SO SURPRISED THAT THEY HAD ONE ON THE LIST. However they left out SOOOOOO much, like the trompett strings.
The Ondes Martenot is really cool weird instrument.
How to disappear completely.
There needs to be a follow up video.
I thought the Rusty Trombone would made the list 🤔🔊
yes i have seen the tesla coil play songs before and its awesome.
So have I. Awesome concert.
I've also seen ( heard) someone playing a hurdy-gurdy on more than one occasion.
I loved the earth harp I remember seeing it live and I just had to follow that guy online to see more.
Wow that's awesome ❤❤❤❤
Yes, the instrument still sounds eerie until this day and Theremin is the number one strangest musical instrument
Great. Now I want to learn how to play the glass armonica and the Theremin.
The 27 new and unique instruments that composer Harry Partch designed should be in the list. They are artistic and produce some stunning sounds.
Historically, one of the strangest instruments built was the Cahill Teleharmonium. This was a 27-ton instrument which was basically an electric power station attached to a keyboard, with each dynamo turbine playing a different note. Sadly, it no longer exists.
Prepared piano is also pretty odd. This involves attaching various objects to piano strings, in order to turn an ordinary piano into a kind of percussion instrument.
0:07 & 4:41 That is at a church in Rockwall, TX called Lake Pointe Church. I go to church there.
What are you doing after school?
I have a zeuzaphone lesson.
Hide this from Rob Scallon
here's another one: the pig piano. invented in 1483, this bizarre instrument was made to entertain king Louis XI of France. it consists of several pigs on a bench ranging from small to big with a keyboard behind it. each key is connected to a spike, which when pressed hits the butt of the corresponding pig! the smaller the pig, the higher the note. crazily, it is actually possible to play a few tunes on it. the king was very impressed, in case you were interested.
5:15 I'd like to hear the Harry Potter theme on that thing.
My list:
10 Ophicleide
9 Slide saxophone
8 Schaumei
7 Piccolo trombone
6 Harmonitrompe
5 Theorbo
4 Viola da gamba
3 Cor Omnitonique
2 Cimbasso
1 Big Carl
What a coincidence, I randomly read about the theremin yesterday night and how it's Soviet inventor invented the very first wireless radio microphones for spying, like the great eagle seal and this was in 1940s when this might have been like a futuristic technology, truly a gifted inventor...
I saw the Earth Harp in person this past summer at Silver Dollar City in Branson, Mo!
ay they got the sharpsicord in here! thats the thing that was used to play sacrifice on bjork's biophilia tour
Interesting video
I hope retro futuristic music becomes the mainstream in the 2020s
You mean Synthwave/Retrowave becoming even bigger in the 2020's?
Ncs
@@clickhereidareyou5950 Give me 1 example, Of a retro futuristic song from NCS.
The songs played by the zeusaphone ( if you were wondering): 1. Legend Of Zelda. 2. Darude Sandstorm. 3. Imperial March.
Oh I did not realize that that was a hurdy-gurdy was in polar express
I wondered if the Theremin would be in there. And at #1, no less. Nice.
seen it on american horror story coven myrtle liked playing it
Pls make more videos about weird instruments?
I live in Rochester ny and I've heard a Tesla coil play "bad romance"
Great editing! We’re these trending on a deaf social media website?
Where are the Tchaikovsky cannons?
I wanna learn some of them instruments!
5:59 so that's what it sounds like to be zapped by the Emperor
They have tesla coils at the Museum of Science in Boston. They play them during presentations on electricity in the Electricity Room. They're really fantastic to watch.
no contrabass flute? that flute is badass as hell
Woohoo! Patty Gurdy!
How is the otamatone not on this list.
I agree! It is such a strange little thing! XD I am thinking of getting myself one
i remember that sound on the waterphone,that instrument was used in full metal jacket in the sniper scene
I suggested this about two years ago! XD
Marble machine is awesome !! also the marble machine X is been made since long ago !! .. wintergatam channel is great !
The zeusaphone is Tesla coil.
6:17 It sounds like the music of a Game Boy Advance Star Wars game.
The corries played an instrument called the 28 string guitar and two instruments called Combolins which stringed instruments
I want to play a Theremin now.
You gotta include the Yaybahar. Search for Görkem Şen.
Why didn’t they play a sample of the Marble Machine?!? That thing sounds awesome.
Why the hell haven't you done more countdowns on hard rock/heavy metal songs?!
Where's the love for musical floppy drives
If you like the Marble Machine, check out the Wintergatan channel for the building of Marble Machine X!
Only a hand full of those are objects in "Scribblenauts"
The Theremin is #1, now I want to watch Midsomer Murders.
Yay Wintergatan!
Hurdy gurdy is my favourite from the list
I wonder if any of the Blue Man Group's musical instruments can make the cut next time?
You forgot David Byrne’s instrument: A Building
I want a hurdy gurdy so bad
Is the Hurdy-Gurdy what they use for the music in all those cliche middle eastern scenes in movies?
you forgot the otamatone
You were playing my Zeldarrrrrzzzz. I jumped up like my 9 year old self when i heard it ❤❤❤
I'm missing a couple: The Yaybahar, The Laserharp and the Fire Organ.
The Fire Organ! It’s technical name is Pyrophone, but makes sound out of combustions (which grants the nickname “Explosion Organ”
How do you not mention the Tesla coil without mentioning Björk's song Thunderbolt???
Interestingly enough Björk has used about half of these instruments at one point.
True story. The sharpsichord is in the song Sacrifice
I thought this would just be a Bjork video. She loves to experiment (with great success) with different sounds.
Strange indeed,WatchMojo
That marble one sounded cool, but we didn't get to hear it.
So the waterphone is how they make horror movie sounds?
Imagine talking about a "jaw dropping" instrument then not fucking letting us hear it. Looking at you, marble instrument.
oh yes! the waterphone is used for the theme of shenobu sensui of yu yu hakusho
I always thought the Spritzer-Honker-Splasher-Sprinkler-Tweeter-Squirt of Sesame Street fame was one of the coolest, strangest, and definitely the wettest musical instrument I’ve ever seen.
the hydraulophone,is this the instrument used in the intro of hello africa by dr. alban?
What about my fav contrabass flute
For me, it's gotta be the blaster beam.
The earth harp strings are so long,it would be a shame if i..cut one off
I swear, number ten is just the Swedish chef singing.
All of these sound like instruments Björk would use/has used in her music
The original version of the theme for Doctor Who used a theremin.
There's a new Marble Machine in the works. It's gonna be a lot better than the 1st one.
Weird Instruments: ELECTRICITY ITSELF!!!
Trying to find the links that you discussed
Number 2 is awesome its like something a supervillain would do
I wish you would have mentioned that the theremin
also created one of the most iconic science fiction theme songs ever! Doctor who! Doooo weeeee oooooooo!
Search for Mr Methane on TH-cam. He also creates music with an alternative kind of way. Hilarious!
How about the Gaffophone?
WAIT!! 2:55 That's Chris Wood, that is. Amazing English folk musician and songwriter. Check him out if you get a chance!
.
.
...do I win anything?
Patty Gurdy!
I remember Sheldon playing the theramin in an episode of the Big Bang Theory
The Theremin proves that electronic music, Is way older than most people think it is.
3:08 a giant music box
Laser harp
