Motion Trio HEART brings new life to the accordeon for me.
Whoa, cool thread…
but I think no one mentioned the Tubulum yet, one of my favourite instruments.

I also love the musical saw. I tried to play on one of my grandfathers saws, but it didn’t work out well.

One day I start learning this.
Then there is the Txalaparta, a traditional basque instrument, always played by two players.

And then something that’s almost too weird to be real:

Nice finds.
I’ve added them to the YouTube playlist.
Just peeking in to post this. I don’t know why it hasn’t been done before:
Smooth McGroove - Song of Storms
Smooth McGroove - Song of Healing
Needless to say, I was like holy shit. His work is amazing!
Copied this from another forum, formatting may suffer:
Also, most of these songs are not what you might call mainstream. Some of these songs do not utilise traditional instruments. Most of the songs are instrumental. These songs fall into different genre categories.

I found this group sticking out a lot with their music, I have never heard of a metal band using bagpipe as an instrument and the results sound interesting unfortunately I did not find a video from their recent plays, since the band has added new members.
Oh yes Fate, I have heard that band before and combining bagpipe with fire is just plain awesome I wish I had fire instrument
I really like Taylor Davis, she’s an amazing violinist who has worked with Peter Hollens, and at E3 with Kyle Landry and Lara. She just came out with this and I’m posting it because even if you don’t like violin, then that xylophone solo will give you chills. XD
If you don’t like violin, why are you even here?
This video, even though the genre is electronic trance the group also adds lots of acoustic instruments in an interesting mix
Not sure why I haven’t posted this thing here before. It’s actually titled incorrectly since it is two songs. The first song is James Newton Howard’s “Solomon Vandy”, from Blood Diamond. The second is Seventh Heaven, by Dreamcatcher.
I looked through the youtube list and havent found this one yet, so here it is:
Crystallize, a violinist playing with dubstep in the background, how many people do that? Also the video is very wellmade and cool
That’s actually one of my favourite Lindsey Stirling songs, Ghotsie.
A song from today, the song “Rawhide” from Blue’s Brothers played on guitar.
