    lol funny how you consider a cow bell a weird instrument......

    i have a spring drum and an ocean drum that i like messing around with

    the ocean drum makes the sound of the ocean when rocked correctly and the spring drum is a cylinder with a long spring attached and when you rock it around it sounds like a thunder storm.
    i also own a cowbell and a vibraslap(aka jawbone)

    you can slide up the neck and the sound goes up in gradually on a fretted guitar the frets make it make an exact sound depending what fret your on
    plus the strings are usually flatwound...which sound different

    aside from sliding on a fretless, you can change the sound of notes and cords by where you place your fingers in the old fret position

    im trying to find a fret hammer, so i can knock the frets outta my banjo :D

    i don't know what it is called but it is a box, with beautiful carvings on it, and when you tap the carved parts with a soft mallet it makes the most gorgeous sounds....very warm and woody sound.....
