Radical Instruments

There's so many musical instruments that I wish I could try
Here's a few that are of particular note:

the Thummer
a Controller that displays more expression than any other I've heard of.
it also allows you to use different tunings without changing the arrangement of the buttons!

Reactable
A very intuitive interface that looks so easy to learn they even have pictures of babys playing it!

Monome
Step Sequencer/Synth etc... program it however you will

Mandala
Danny Carey uses these pads

Balloon Bass
If you can make balloon animals... please make me one of these!

Instruments That don't seem to have official names:

Sound Conductor
Seems to work like a theremin... not much of a description for it

Sound Writer
Draw your music, and then play over top of your drawing!

Marble Table
A playing surface ala reactable, divided into grids like the mandala


Fantastic Instruments:

Percussive Balls
Someone will make one of these eventually... I'm sure of it!
