Here's some of my stuff that I put up. All instrumental - although I do sing too. There's an electric thing and an acoustic thing. The acoustic thing is very short.

Re: Musical instruments
It's not actually on the keyboard - it's on the wooden bit next to it (where the switch is). The main problem is that I have the volume low because the phone's mic is crap and any louder and you'd hear clipping. I figured it was the lesser of two evils.Dinosawer wrote:I meant that by putting it directly on the keyboard you record all the clicketyclack key sounds. Putting it on top of the piano sounds be better.

Re: Musical instruments
I play the Clarinet and the Supernova, a computer-synthesis sounding spherical instrument of my own design. It's like, a ball, and it senses where my hand and fingers are, and plays notes accordingly from a speaker. I'm working on it, but its sounds okay*ish* so far. (okay, it sounds really bad.) Well, it would if I hadn't broken it by dropping it. ( ) The next model will not be so breakable, but it'll take a while to make again. I yi yi.
Edit: The Supernova is not ready to be shown to anyone via recording! (I have one or two.) I might, if I get around to it, put in a recording of my clarinet, however, in a future post.

Meanwhile, I have been wanting one of these puppies for years:
This is an Eigenharp, and it is a Real Thing.
Here are a couple of examples of what it can do. This one and this one are fun, too.
It connects to a computer to download instruments, but control messages can be passed in the other direction:
Finally, it is possible that I've actually been wanting this since 1977:

Re: Musical instruments
That looks awesome! not sure that I'd play a game with it, but it is quite neat. I'm not sure when the Supernova 2.0 will happen, but I'll try to make it sound good. At least I won't have to buy reeds for it!

Re: Musical instruments
That's really cool Flat! But looking at the price I can see why you haven't gotten one yet
If it comes to "instrument I would get if I had inifinte moneys", I have a couple too:
The Irish bagpipes, upon wchich you can play melody and chords at the same time and still have your mouth left to sing:

The melodica:

A midi guitar (I think this would be really handy for composing since I can't play the synthesizer):

The Harp Guitar (dat sound):

Re: Musical instruments
For what it's worth, I actually have a Hohner melodica.
It was my grandfather's.

Man, I can't believe I missed this thread! I play clarinet and bass clarinet, if anyone's still interested, but i'm probably too late to the party.

Re: Musical instruments
I can't believe I missed it too!
I play accordion, piano, mandolin, guitar and violin. (In order of skillness)
I also have a cello laying around that I need to do something out of!
