The world's most irritating instrument
Think your playing sounds bad? This'll make you feel better.

On second thought, I watched the video.....that actually does sound like my voice.

Makes me pine for the dulcet tones of a bagpipe-digeridoo-trashcan lid ensemble.

I wonder if he spends time on Internet forums waxing philosophical about the body material of his disposable cups: arguing the merits of plastic over paper, when some futurism afficionado comes along with an impervious styrofoam cup and shows him the way to worry free playing.

My heartfelt apologies to every accordion player I've insulted over the years...

There's a version with strings too.
It's called a banjo.

LOL - everyone's comments made me chuckle! Perhaps it would sound better (or faster!) if he used a Bluechip plectrum. I hope those wheels are CITES certified.

That was truly ghastly.
As an Englishman, I have never been a fan of the Scots Pipes - an instrument specifically designed to upset an enemy. Uilean pipes "can" in the right hands sound great, but ...only in very well trained talented hands. Concertinas actually cause me pain, and of course the electric guitar was a great mistake, and have caused me hearing loss and tinnitus. Here's an odd contraption that actually sounds quite pleasant :

I hope no cats were harmed in the making of this video.
He should have known something was wrong when the larger rings made the higher notes.
