Gift Ideas: Bizarre Musical Devices


A friend wrote, "Each year my brother and I tend to exchange bizarre sound-making devices at Christmas. Until I get back to being an active musician, my connections to the sound world are rusty at best, and I don't have 'the coolest new thing' at my fingertips. Can you suggest something crazy that you might have come across in your recent travels?"

I replied, Hey, that's a cool assignment!

How 'bout a Thingamagoop?

Or...

A Flying Alarm Clock?

Or a Knockman? (This U.S. distributor has even more interesting audio crrrrrrrrap.)

ThinkGeek is always good for ideas:

Lots o' DIY music stuff at O'Reilly's Make blog:

I did my shopping at American Science and Surplus:

Some of these items won't ship in time for Xmas, it turns out. More suggestions, anyone?
