Any instrument that drones is amazing and brings a tear of joy to my eye
This includes the much maligned bagpipes (every variety! Irish! Slavic! Whatever!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVz1sjr1N6c

Hurdy Gurdy is atmospheric as heck, nothing funny about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmKgLeQZTuA

Didgeridoo, haunting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9g592I-p-dc

The sitar is almost too much beauty for me to handle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTPxqUtlLdo

Name me a single drone instrument that isn't amazing.

Instruments that drone annoy the BAJEEPERS out of me. But to each his own, I guess.


Thanks to Manifisto for the sig!

 Not necessarily a funny instrument, but a funny name: Sackbutt.

It has both sack and butt right there in the name!

Ruth Wellcome is my very favorite zitherist, and I'll fight you if you disagree! (In the nicest possible way, of course.)
