Unexpected Melodies on Inappropriate Instruments

Rik Bitter · Postby **Rik Bitter** » Tue Jul 18, 2017

I've been thinking about starting a music thread for a while, but I didn't know if there were any other sound nerds here who would be into it. Judging from the posts about the lady playing the gayaguem there's some interest.

Know of any songs played on an unorthodox musical instrument or an instrument that's not normally used for that genre?

I'll kick it off with a few posts. Feel free to comment and post your finds.

Enjoy.

I could fill several pages with posts from Rob Scallion's YouTube channel. He routinely takes different musical instruments and does some very skillful covers of metal tunes. Here's one of my favorite examples:
