    Hyperbass Flute

    This image appears in the gallery:
    The 13 weirdest musical instruments ever

    hyper bass flute

    3. Hyperbass Flute

    How about that for some seriously low-end flute? This aptly named flautist foghorn is the largest member of the flute family, containing over 15 metres in piping. It's a relativeley new instrument and, according to early reports, the tone is still under refinement as it's a bit growly. We don't care. It's massive and weird.
