 ==== Waterphone ==== ==== 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.

 +==== Watermelon keyboard ====
 +The recipe reads as follows: some clamps, 100 grams of engineering knowledge, a pinch of the circuit board, one portion of USB cable, and juicy chunks of watermelon. At one point, an artist nicknamed Mezerg became a hit on the Internet. A funky tune with a synth sound. Sound tasty? You touch a piece of watermelon - you close a circuit that tells it what note to produce from the software connected to it. After playing, the instrument continues to be edible. Just don't forget to wash your hands (and the fruit itself!). [([[https://loudwire.com/musician-plays-keyboard-keys-made-of-watermelon/|LoudWire]])]

 +==== Glass harp ====
 +Wine should be drunk from a glass. Or glasses. Before drinking the cheering liquor, you can also play the glass harp. It is enough to fill these glasses to the required volume and rub the rim with a moist fingertip. The glass harp enjoyed its greatest popularity in the 18th century when it was considered a prestigious instrument. Unfortunately, it had to give way to its more spectacular and virtuosic brethren - including the harmonium. [([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezousM5zA0A|YouTube]])]

 +==== Aerodrone ====
 +One of the strangest musical apparatuses is an installation created from balloons. Aerodron is a combination of a pump, plastic tubes, valves, trumpets with membranes applied, and balloons. By blowing air, you can get a sound similar to that of horns. And here the number matters - the effect is stronger the more balloons are pumped. Different intensities can be obtained by squeezing the balloon, or by unscrewing the valves. The composition is built by the Argentine band Lugar Otro, and the performer Javier Bustos is probably a world phenomenon. [([[https://javierbustos.com.ar/Aerodrones|Javier Bustos]])]
 +
 +==== Stylophone ====
 +Stylophone is a miniature analog stylus-operated keyboard. The metal keyboard is played by touching it with a stylus to create each note. [([[https://www.theguardian.com/music/2009/jul/06/whats-that-sound-stylophone|The Guardian]])]
 +
 +==== Theremin ====
 +The theremin is one of the earliest electronic instruments. The instrument has two metal antennas that can sense the positions of the player’s hands, which control the volume and pitch of the instrument. [([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QgTF8p-284|YouTube]])]
