Random List – 20 Unusual Instruments

Victor Hugo once said that “Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent” . Most music requires a form of instrument to be played on, from the simple drum, to a complex church organ. The ones listed below are considered unusual by the majority of people.

Races or cultures in your games and stories might be known for having a particular variation on an instrument, or even none at all. Ask yourself why this would be. Is it a religious reason, something from their ancient history, or does it produce a sound they find particularly pleasing?

Disagree with this list? Think something else should have gone on it? Post in the comments section or on the social media platform you saw this article.
