    Hornucopian dronepipe

    The 13 weirdest musical instruments ever

    Hornucopian dronepipe by MONAD

    2. Hornucopian dronepipe

    The hornucopian dronepipe is an entirely 3D-printed instrument designed by MONAD Studio, Eric Goldemberg and Veronica Zalcberg with musician/luthier Scott F. Hall. It's just one of a set of rather dystopian-looking instruments which together form an art installation. The other instruments are: two-string piezoelectric violin, one-string electric travel bass guitar, one-string piezoelectric monovioloncello and a small didgeridoo.
