I've been looking recently at various instruments, as I've decided I want to learn to play a new one, but I want something unique. I've been considering ukelele, since they're cute and portable and I love the sound, but what other interesting instruments are there that you play or that you know of?

I am taking a ukulele class in a few weeks. I am super excited about it.

I played bass clarinet for many year. Its unusual in the sense that it doesn't look a like a regular clarinet. However, its expensive and not very portable.

I love the banjo and once tried to teach myself how to play it. Sadly, it didn't go to well.

How about - bagpipes, panpipes, oboe, harmonica, recorder, piccolo, accordion, crwth (A welsh string instrument) banjo ukulele (I have seen these on ebay. I am really curious about them)

My favourite instrument is the hurdy gurdy

I think the harpsichord is one of the most beautiful and haunting instruments I've ever heard. And most people have never heard of it.

PinkWeeds took mine :)
I have never played a harpsichord, but the sound is just amazing.

I enjoy the sound of a mandolin. I played one in a band with my fiance and one of our friends for a while. I also love the violin.

I'm quite partial to string instruments, though I find a flute fun to play as well.

i play alot of insterments myself and the one i am currently looking for is the dudduk look it up it has such an interesting sound almost dream like

You could also try playing the harp. Even though everybody has heard of it, not that many people play it.

How about the panflute? It just sounds so beautiful and woodsy.

Pan flute or cello ooh or harmonica

dudduk

I'm hoping to build a theremin once I graduate. Not a very traditional instrument, but certainly interesting :)
