This one is a silly one, the otamatone. I’ve recently came across this odd instrument and I absolutely love it. It so goofy but can honestly produce some great sounds . It works by pressing down on the stem, which creates electronic sounds and you can control the pitch by squeezing the face on it. It was made by Maywa Denki in Japan and first released in 2009.

Here’s a link to the song Hallelujah being played on this instrument.

For me, it's the accordion, the very sound of music this instrument can make is just amazing. One of my foster parents, the father, David was in a Morris band, in the village of Nether Heyford and every year we had this village festival, and he would play this, whilst dancing around, I remember at the time thinking OMG, this is amazing.

I'm not formally trained in music, beyond the standard classes offered in school, but all my life I've been drawn to creating sounds. I have a collection of various unique and obscure musical instruments at home. One such instrument is a Rainstick, considered a percussion instrument. It's challenging to use solo but works wonderfully as an addition to ambient music. I often use it for meditation, playing it without any particular aim and not recording the sessions, just living in the moment.

Here’s a link to learn more about the Rainstick on Wikipedia, and you can watch Evelyn Glennie demonstrate its use passionately in this video.

I can't believe no-one has mentioned the Dion Dublin 'Dube'.

This is my party trick when people are talking about music, and it's something that no-one ever knows about. I advise you to just check it out...
