What weird instruments do you own/lust after?

Like the majority here i'd like to try a thermin or a banjo.

electric sitar and reactable.

i used to be huge in making electronic music. i have a lot of really cool shit like that, korg electribes, samplers, etc.

i recently sold this roland sp808 that had a sensor in it that when you enabled the effect, it had two axis that would receive movement from your hand. it was effectively a theremin, but you could use any effect with it.

i have a recording i made from sounds in a yahoo voice chat room (really gay, just went for the vox) and tweaked some really mad shit.

you could make a reactable with Max/Msp. Its such a great programming tool for music. I'd really like a Hammond Organ someday.

or an Ondes Martenot

Holy fuck, I really should have found out what a Mellotron was earlier- it's like Eels (and a million other bands) in a box. I won't even bother looking at prices..

I play banjo. Lap steel is my next thing - Rondo has a sweet one for $115.

I own various diatonic harmonicas (standard blues harps and extended range/tremolo), 2 melodicas and a '60s Magnus electric chord organ. I use them for horn and organ substitute parts even though they pretty much all sound like accordians.

My friend/ex-bandmate/current collaborator Geoff snagged a Hammond L-3 for like, $50. Down the street from my house too (he lives over 40 miles away). Was soooo jealous.

I want a pedal steel and a real Hammond organ w/Leslie and a double/upright bass, equally badly. If I had my own studio or something those are the first 3 things I'd buy.

I love it. The one in the pic isn't mine, mine has a silly graphic on the front instead of the Magnus plate and I have legs attatched at the mo, but it's the same model.

oh my god the tenori on thing looks AMAZING! and there's a ton of other stuff in here i'm going to have to investigate.

i have a banjo, but it needs new tuners. it's taking up space under my bed at the moment till i get all my other projects done. =/

There's a Dulcimer laying around here that no one knows how to play or what to do with it. Last I heard it was headed for eBay, but that was like 4 years ago and it's still here, lol.

i don't really own anything really mad, just broken mainly.

i have a ukulele, which enjoyed much love at doogfest.
i have a hammond with a leslie speaker.
and one very battered, semi working mellotron M400.

i will get round to posting audio/pictures of the mellotron and hammond. i store them at my dad's house, as i don't have the space to keep them here and fully setup. next time I'm up there i will have a demo blitz.

i'd love to own something like a fender rhodes or a wurlitzer. if i got a wurlitzer, i'd just end up playing the logical song all day.

its so fucking awesomeeeeee

good luck finding one of those, they're rare as fuck.

personally i'd like an ondes martenot, lovely things. as it stands i have far too many huge old keyboards. my dad was trying to sell my hammond organ behind my back the other week, cheeky bastard.
