Kalimba is the best! I bought one two months ago and I'm loving it. Unlike other instruments I've tried, I find myself playing kalimba more often because it's portable, quiet enough and really easy to play. Highly highly recommended!

tin whistle, ocarina and pocket didge are all good.

[@adamapple4352]

You should try out more of the pocket operator series my favourite is the po-33 ko

[@LOOTd]

Will definitely get some more at some point

[@ifer1280]

Melodica should've been number one. The fact that you can't play it doesn't take away from the fact that it is a very expressive instrument that supports the full chromatic scale (unlike the diatonic scale of the kalimba), and it can be played as a lead instrument as well as accompaniment.

[@Rykyuby]

Is it just me or does the melodica sound alot like an accordian?

[@poco_a_poco_music]

Not sure if this has already been commented, but that sound effect you were struggling to recognise on the roll out piano was the sound of a finger running up or down a guitar string.

[@lukealdieri5045]

I have a kalimba and they’re awesome

[@ariannagorbet6674]

My favorite instrument (s) is the clarinet and the bassoon

[@HarryMudd]

The Flexi-piano makes me think about "Lessons" from Star Trek TNG. 😊

[@rainbowmusiclabs4123]

The mystery sound on the rollout piano (5:01) is called a "finger squeak" on guitar, where if you shift up the neck with your fingers dragging on the strings, you get that noise. They apparently took a sample and then pitch shifted it up and down to make a scale...?

[@mage9564]

The tones that played as he rolled up the piano was really mysterious!

[@projectx5154]

I think harmonica and maybe recorder are the best cheap instruments. Recorder does get expensive if you want to play it professionally. However at harmonica 50$ will pretty much get you professional level instruments that great harmonica players used even decades ago. Of course there are custom 300$ harmonicas but you won't _really_ need them. Most professionals only have few of those. Be aware tho, if you get hooked up on them then they can get expensive since there are a lot of different keys and the more experienced you get you will blow them out sooner. But still they are super affordable. I don't know any other instrument where the same model serves both beginners and professionals.

[@alecrisser12]

Two instruments I feel I should be on this list are the 12 hole ocarina and the Yamaha YRF-21 Fife. The Ocarina is a bit pricier but easier to play, however the Fife is a little more than $10, and if you know how to play a flute you can get much more nuanced sounds out of it. With that face you can do about 80% of what you could do on a flute, however it sounds a little shrill compared to the flute or the Ocarina.

[@souadoudieng395]

I love the stylophone and the synthesizer and I think 🤔 it’s so cool and unique

[@0menbeats478]
