 ==== Jew's Harp ====
 The Jew's Harp is a metal instrument that produces sounds from the vibration of a springy plate placed in the mouth. It is usually made of metal, with European instruments made of steel, while Asian instruments are made of bronze. Sometimes, in Indochina and Alaska it is made of wood, bamboo or other materials.

+==== Aeolus ====
+Aeolus takes its name from the ruler of the winds in Greek mythology. It is not so much a musical instrument in the literal sense, as an installation of just the right size, impressive in its intricate construction and shape. Aeolus is not only in appearance entitled to be associated with a futuristic gateway to another dimension - the wind that plays its arias on it actually seems to transport the listener to the mysterious outskirts of what we used to call popular music.

+==== 3D instruments ====
+A violin or guitar produced in 3D by the printer produces interesting effects. Although deviating musically from the original, 3D instruments, provide ample opportunities for experimentation and performance. [([[https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40964-021-00183-5|Springer]])]
+==== Zeusaphone ====
+Also referred to as a "musical Tesla coil," Zeusaphone is, as the name suggests, an option for Olympians. A synth-like and very spectacular attempt to persuade Tesla's transformers to engage in musical dialogues. The effect, while still quite far from concert-like, is certainly electrifying.

+==== Yaybahar ====
+A living "Space Odyssey" among musical instruments. In appearance, it resembles a primitive, early-civilization tribal instrument, although that's an optimistic take - many of us have a right to associate it with an endless rack for a tipi. However, the sound capabilities of the Yaybahar mean that the instrument, which was built by Turkish musician Gorkem Sen, could delight many a Moog or Doepfer fan. Yaybahar is perhaps the first semi-modular not powered by electricity and radically exhausts the popular term "full-analog." [([[https://www.gorkemsen.com/gorkem-sen-s-yaybahar|Gorkem Sen]])]
+==== The wheelharp ====
+The wheelharp is a phenomenon. Designed by none other than Leonardo da Vinci, it was built to the Master's design only contemporaneously. Sentimental and inspiring. One begs that Yann Tiersen would like to include it in the instrumentation when recording his next material. It sounds much more subtle than its industrially-associated appearance might indicate. [([[https://antiquitymusic.com/wheelharp|Antiquity Music]])]
+==== Otomatone ====
+An instrument conceived according to the principle that you can play anything. An ideal tool for performers and those who do not mind the toy-like appearance of Otomatone. Against all appearances, it is suitable for playing two, three, or more voices. Pocket Operators' pocket synths are, next to Otomatone's, simply unimaginably advanced technology, and yet it can be done. [([[https://heavy.com/toys/otamatone-instrument/|Heavy]])]
+==== Omnichord ====
+Suzuki's electronic instrument was invented in 1981 as an alternative to the automatic chord zither (autoharp). It plays chords located under the buttons and which are modified using a touchpad that mimics the action of a string system. The Omnichord, shaped like a squash racket case, has lived to see many variations, has a built-in speaker, and most often supports MIDI. Although heavily dominated in recent years by hipsters covering Beirut, it will also work well for more serious compositions.

+==== Waterphone ====
+Looking like the practice material of a young welder, the waterphone is a structure resembling various lengths of metal rods connected to a half-hang drum, acting as a resonator. It can be played with a bow or baton, but there is no contraindication to doing it any other way. The sound of the waterphone is strongly Hitchcock-like, disturbing, and cold, reminiscent of music from horror films of the 1950s and 1960s. It will not be suitable for a campfire.
