Check out this dude playing a continuous solo on a weird instrument they call a triple-neck bass. And if that wasn't crazy enough, check out the second video of him going to the opposite extreme with a 15-string bass guitar!...
Playing a Trriple Neck Bass Guitar... 6 strings in total, but on three necks... One neck is fretless.. This is one of the craziest instruments ever!

15 STRINGS BASS SOLO
Playing a 15 Strings Bass Solo... that's way too big..
The first 5 strings are just too low... You just cant play any clear note... lol
"It's one thing to build an ice instrument - it's another thing to maintain it and use it throughout time." Fascinating stuff!...
Tim Linhart was an ice sculptor in Colorado. One day he carved an upright string bass from ice and was astonished at the beautiful sound it made. Now he is the founder of Ice Music, based in Swedish.
There are still old TVs kicking around?? You bet! And what is one to do with a bunch of old TVs you say? Why turn them into percussion instruments like Japanese artist Ei Wada did. He inadvertently discovered that old cathode ray tube television sets make great percussion instruments. Today, his unique Braun Tube Jazz Band is famous the world over...

"One day, a spectacular vision popped into Ei Wada’s mind. It was the image of abandoned electrical appliances being played as musical instruments in the streets of a city.
Some time later, he accidentally plugged a sound cable into a composite video connector port and the sound was rendered as an image. Seeing this he realised that re-recording the image with a camera and outputting it as an audio signal might reproduce the original sound. With this technique as a starting point, he set up pairings of tube televisions and PC-controlled video decks to correspond with the number of notes in a musical scale, creating a set of gamelan-like percussion instruments. Tapping the TV tubes produces primitive, cosmic electrical music. Paik meets the Theremin; Shannon meets McLuhan." (transmediale.de/content/braun-tube-jazz-band)
