If you think that other members of the musical family just don't give harmonica players any respect, then I dare you to keep a straight face as you view the following videos. I would hate to show up at the jam session lugging one of these babies:
My whale is trying to get your whale's attention.

Interesting. I'd seen the saxes before, but not the flute. It's a pity it sounded like crap! All I can offer at the moment is the very nice sopranissimo ukulele at the start of this vid:
Or there was Israel if you want to contrast big with small, but he didn't play the smallest uke, unfortunately.
(That video makes me cry every time I watch it.)
OK, Adam, I apologise for hijacking the forum and splashing the ukulele all over it. I'll stop now! ----------

I am humbled. In creating this thread, I stumbled blindly into a realm of giants--you guys, all of whom know far more about absurdist, impossible-to-respect forms of musicking than I will ever know. Like a mixed martial artist newbie, I have no choice but to submit. You win.
At least our instrument isn't seasonal(and also not completely biodegradable), like this guy. If The Phillipines actually had an Autumn, he'd be screwed.
I've got a whole set of bookmarks of bad music. Some of it is by harp players. I won't share them, since you never know who is a member of the forum. Thanks to YouTube, its pretty darn easy to find.
I actually have a nose flute in my harp case. I use it for the part in Whammer Jammer that Magic Dick sings through the harp, right before that drum part.
The Vegetable Orchestra is awesome! I have one of their albums, really cool trance beats mixed with modern classical, all played on veggies! ----------
@dogafce He was very popular with his chain saw show in Finland in the end of the 70's and in the beginning of the 80's. But I do not remember reading any reports of damaged fellow musicians or audience members.;-)
As a matter of the fact I remember reading that he took the chain away from the saw before he used it in the shows. But I quess that the smell of gasoline was not very pleasant to his fellow musicians night after night... ---------- Frosty Homepage
The first instrument I learned to play was the Jews Harp. Played it for years, actually got pretty good at it. As serious as I was about playing it, I could never take it seriously. Well, they do take it seriously in eastern Europe! There are masters of the harp, music written for it, some players have dozens of CDs. These guys are making a living playing the khomus and I'm driving a bus! (It does fit in the pocket)
