It's amazing how this platform will lead you down rabbit holes. I seem to have gotten into a pattern of random people asking random questions, just to attract attention. I had to go through my timeline for quite a while to eliminate them and get back to people I actually follow

I guess I fell victim to answering those questions. I had to hit the 3 dots and say "not interested" and then "show less of ____" whoever the random person was. Sheesh.
But then this post did get my engagement.
We've been thinking a lot about different instruments for our new album... What's your favourite song that uses a strange instrument?

We love a Kazoo, so maybe Crosstown Traffic by Jimi Hendrix?
I've really enjoyed learning about new instruments from foreign countries on YouTube. I love hearing the exotic sounds. Here are the ones I listed
The bandura (Ukraine)
The dombra (Kazakhstan)
The kobyz (Kazakhstan)
The Hu have several interesting Mongolian instruments, e.g. the horse head fiddle, a jaw harp, and a wind instrument. I gave this video as an example, tho I think this one has a lot of video distractions from the instruments
Here is a documentary about Moyun playing the Guzheng from China
The Chinese have a lot of intriguing instruments. This is the Sheng, a kind of mouth organ that comes in several sizes
The Armenians have a wind instrument called the duduk, which also has a very interesting sound
This lady is playing what I think is a conventional western instrument, but a rare one, the contrabass flute
