The Most Insane Instruments of the Year

[00:01] top 10 most unique instruments I've ever tested. We've tried 3D printed instruments, squishy instruments, even [music] dangerous instruments. But at the number 10 spot, we had an instrument that sounded way better than I expected.

[00:13] that sounded way better than I expected. I printed out a violin. The crazy thing about this violin is that the 3D printer printed off this whole entire body in one piece and then it was just the neck. I did have to buy strings to put on the

[00:25] violin, but everything worked great and it's all tuned. I just haven't played it just realized there's no chin rest. I forgot to add that, I think. But I think we can still play it. Let's try this. Here we go.

[00:38] Bro, tell me why it sounds better than my real violin.

[00:54] how to play violin to try this. That was supposed to be the McDonald's jingle. Here's Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.

[01:14] had a very tasty instrument. Now, we have the syntheset. Welcome back to Cooking with Landon. We have lots of fruits and vegetables here. I'm just going to try to play this without using the instructions. All right, here we go.

[01:45] It is now inside the avocado. Dang, that's gross. See if this works. It works. That is [clears throat] That is inside. Now, let's use the potato. This might be another instance

[01:57] of inserting. Carrot is next. There we go. That just works better. Celery is next. I'm just going to insert the celery. Testing. There we go.

[02:09] We are going to try to turn this expired cheese stick into a piano keyboard. I'm going to insert this. I really hope this works. Moment of truth.

[02:21] works. Moment of truth. Yes, the cheese stick works.

[02:41] around there. And then the final thing is a drinking drink. This Celsius has nothing in it anymore. All right, time for the final one. Let's play a song, shall we? We'll start with something simple.

[03:02] person to play Rush E on a banana, avocado, potato, carrot, celery, expired avocado, potato, carrot, celery, expired cheese stick, waffle, and Celsius can.

[03:28] Instrument number eight turned the piano that you know and love into a squishy masterpiece. This is called the Seabboard Rise. And yeah, your eyes are not deceiving you. This entire [music] thing is made of rubber. The Cboard Rise

[03:40] still has the normal key layout, so you can still play your notes finger. But with certain sounds, you can do even crazier stuff. Watch this.

[04:00] top and the bottom of this keyboard cuz sometimes you don't want to slide and hit all the keys. It's just nice that you can

[04:16] This organ sound is very cool because you can actually raise the rotors. you can actually raise the rotors. [music] could be mistaken as a weapon, but it still sounds really cool. Okay, this is

[04:29] the hidden staff flute. The company that came up with this is called Teletunes. cap and take off this cap and then I guess you just flick it and it turns [laughter] That is just so fun. Okay, this is a

[04:43] That is just so fun. Okay, this is a hidden staff, but it's also a flute. Feel like I'm playing a flute. I'm a floutist.

[04:58] Whoa. So, this is a drone flute. It plays two notes at once. Listen. >> This is so cool. And then it just collapses and you can fit this in your

[05:12] pocket. I'm warning you now. Instrument 6 might have a jump scare. We got the cranky. So, we have the happy birthday song through and crank it up. We're going to hold down the red button to record and

[05:25] we're going to start cranking away. [music] Now, if I press this black button, it should play back the recording. And then

[05:49] five was real, so I had to get one all the way from Japan. This is the world's smallest fully playable grand piano. You Sonic the Hedgehog fans will be excited. This was actually made by Sega in 2007.

[06:02] now. I couldn't figure out how to use this thing. But then if you slide this controls. Okay, I'm going to turn this thing on.

[06:16] I thought you just played the notes. It was playing the notes by itself. All right, I have a problem. Everything on this screen is in Japanese. Okay, I think this should play a song. >> [music]

[06:31] [music] This is a player piano. What? This is so cool. I didn't know you could play while you I put the piano in could play while you I put the piano in play mode. So now when I press the keys,

[06:45] every single key on this piano plays the right note. But it's really hard to play with my fingers. [music] I had to get a pair of chopsticks just to play one note at a time.

[06:59] Let's try to play chopsticks with chopsticks.

[07:12] It even came with a bench. Instrument number four was one that I always wanted cartoon Adventure Time. But first, have wasn't your fault? Or maybe you've been injured at work? Well, you might deserve

[07:26] millions of dollars, but insurance companies often cheap out on their will fight for you to get the compensation you deserve if you end up your brand new shiny synthesizer backstage and ask the sketchy sound guy

[07:39] to watch it for you. That's not security. That is a robbery in progress. sketchy sound guy with your very expensive synthesizer. Just like there's company with your case. Morgan and Morgan has a proven track record

[07:53] fighting for people for over 35 years. With over $30 billion recovered for a thing or two about getting the compensation you deserve. And they make it so easy to do. You can submit a claim and talk to your legal team straight

[08:06] from your smartphone. And their fee is free unless they win. Not all law firms are the same. Hire the wrong one and you may be beat before you even start. If you can go to www.forthepeople.com/landon

[08:23] the QR code on screen. Thank you so much to Morgan and Morgan for sponsoring this to the instruments. Next up, we have the Suzuki Omnicord. Yeah, apparently Suzuki made instruments, not just motorcycles.

[08:41] in Japan. And this thing is expensive. Even though it looks like a toy, the Omnicord is literally $1,000. Each one of these buttons plays a different of these buttons plays a different chord.

[08:55] is the strum plate. You can either strum or tap on it. [music] Okay, I guess these are different sounds. [music]

[09:11] >> Oh, it's so cool. The number three instrument pushes the boundaries of what we even know as instruments. Now, we have the Sway by Ottoma Labs. This device lets musicians and DJs control music in a whole new way. You can

[09:25] literally use your hand. Look at that. That's so sick. So, the Sway basically has these light sensors that can see where your hand is moving left to right where your hand is moving left to right and up and down.

[09:46] >> Yo, dude, that's sick. dude, that's sick. [music]

[10:18] That's sick. Whenever I move my left hand through this grid area

[10:31] [music] That's cool.

[10:43] So, apparently the guys at Ottoma Labs, they just noticed that DJs move their they thought they'd invent something that can actually do something from make this controller do anything. But the way that we have it set up here is

[10:57] I'll play the song. those vocals come in and you can those vocals come in and you can actually control that baseline.

[11:12] And then if I go to the left and right, it's doing an EQ on the drum track.

[11:30] So I can go to this button. It's kind of like a DJ turntable effect.

[11:49] instrument that shows just how far technology has come in this day and age. technology has come in this day and age. This is the Prusser.

[12:05] for anyone to print off at home. So in theory, you could print this guitar and even make this whole thing glow-in-the-dark. The like exoskeleton octagon design is just so cool. I have the perfect guitar cable to match this

[12:19] crazy guitar. And of course, we have our 3D printed guitar pick. Okay, we have the proof of hooked up to the amp. Let's crank this up. [music]

[12:34] Ooh, this thing already sounds exciting. [music] The guitar is so light. It It feels different, but it's really cool.

[12:51] The center of gravity is also like right dead in the middle, too. [music] [music] The guitar itself isn't even that hard

[13:06] Prussa actually made a great video explaining how this thing is put together, and I'm honestly blown away by this. This is definitely one of the most impressive instruments. We've made it to the number one instrument I've tested so

[13:18] far. But first, I wanted to add some honorable mentions. The musical Tesla coil has been super fun to play, but now when I use it, I take extra precautions. The rubber piano was fun to try out and was the most portable 88 key piano I've

[13:32] ever used. And of course, I had to mention the dog guitar. I've used it in so many videos and even though it's not the best instrument that looks like a little bit of dookie, it is definitely a [laughter] fan favorite. And now for my

[13:45] favorite instrument I've tested so far. This instrument pushes creativity to the max in a fun and visually stunning way with endless possibilities. Okay, so plugged it in and now I see like this

[13:58] plugged it in and now I see like this little keyboard. It's like this little keyboard and then some some buttons and like a fader right some some buttons and like a fader right here. Whoa, this is crazy. And it looks

[14:13] like there's all different kinds of instruments. It's so cool. Like ripples when you play it. That's cool.

[14:25] The texture is like a fabric. Like it's a really soft smooth fabric that you can just like glide your finger on. So on the surface you can glide your finger. That was kind of a very scary sound. And then you can also like tap it,

[14:44] which is really cool. And then you can actually like press down into it. That is so satisfying. And I think you can even hold down multiple fingers.

[15:04] the E-Ray, I figured out you can make your own board, which is really cool. like super mushroom and I added my own sound. So, when I click on the spots,

[15:24] it plays Super Mario sounds. And I even have this. like cyberpunk or something. It's just

[15:36] like cyberpunk or something. It's just giving like futuristic hardcore.

[15:58] most futuristic instruments I've ever seen. Let me know in the comments how forget to like and subscribe to this channel. And if YouTube's algorithm actually works, you're going to love this video. Next,
