Mine (Zimbabwean 🇿🇼) is the mbira.
For a feel of the sound: https://youtu.be/R5RMYh-n3LU
Jah Prayzah the guy singing is a renowned musician.
They seem to be using the mbira in modernized covers, but the metal pestle order seem the same as the more traditional looking ones.
P/S I’m not self promoting the YouTube link. It just shows how the mbira sounds unedited.
nyckelharpa 🇸🇪
That’s a great sound.
yeah they really fill the room when harmonising.
Lovely!
Ah, beat me to it! It’s a great instrument.
Wow, that’s awesome.
Had I only heard it I would’ve thought some kind of spinet.
Thanks for the link, those young ladies can play!
Nice! Which country is this and what’s the name of the instrument the 2 ladies are playing?
This is Switzerland.
And the instrument is actually called Hackbrett (translates to hacking board).deleted by creator
Sorry, the type of instrument is from Salzburg.
The recorded concert and the musicians are from Switzerland.
That’s excellent, and those two in particular look to be extremely talented!
The Valiha ; it’s basically a tube guitar lol
Madagascar 🇲🇬!
The drum kit or set - USA:
I didn’t realize the drum set originated in the U.S. but it makes sense with jazz.
And I believe the electric guitar as well! George Beauchamp, along with Adolph Rickenbacker developed the first electromagnetic pickups.
Another unrelated U.S. one that comes to mind is the sousaphone
Didgeridoo
Australia! 🇦🇺
The cajon in Peru is emblematic of traditional Creole music that is often played in songs during lunch or party meals. Just hearing it makes me hungry!!
Btw the mbira has a beautiful sound, do you know if it’s difficult to learn?Thank you! I think the mbira requires similar dexterity to a piano if I’m not mistaken.
Makes sense. Cool!!
USA alone is too easy, so I’m gonna go with Ohio. Edison invented the phonograph, which made listening to music anytime and anywhere a reality. The Wurlitzer organ was from Cincinnati, but i should be fair and say that while it was developed in Cincinnati, production was done in New York.
Saxophone!
Canada gave us the Ugly Stick and the Sackbut.
Lot’s a of kids learn to play a 5-string version, but it goes up to dozens of strings, and some have a pedal to control sustain.
The origins of the instrument are finnish, but it’s also popular in Japan, which is why you’ll see a lot of stuff online about it in Japanese. Including the video I linked.
🇫🇮!! Nice
I don’t know if this counts but in my parent’s native Cuba there’s the bongo which has African roots. It’s a fundamental instrument in Cuba’s various local genres such as Son Cubano from which Salsa (not the condiment) derives from. Listening to the mbria I can definitely hear the similarities between native African music and Cuban music.
I remember hearing a mbira recording as a young child and loving it. (I didn’t know that word, though, people called it a « thumb piano ».) Then at some point I had the opportunity to try one, but I didn’t know how to play so the result was disappointing, and the metal things made my tiny fingers hurt, ha ha. The video sounds really nice!
Ugly stick. 🇨🇦
I heckled an Ugly Stick player once, until he hit me with it.
