Weirdest Instruments You've Never Heard Of: Theremins, Singing Saws & Ben Franklin's Glass Armonica

What if you could play music without ever touching your instrument? This week, Miss Delana takes music makers on a tour of the strangest, most wonderful instruments most grown-ups have never heard of — the hands-in-the-air theremin, the moaning waterphone, the shimmering cristal baschet, the singing saw, and the glass armonica that Benjamin Franklin loved more than any of his other inventions (and that some people once feared could drive you mad!). Play our new listening game, Name That Weird Sound, and take home a challenge: invent your own instrument. Because anything that vibrates can make music  and the world is full of undiscovered sounds.

 Perfect for ages 6–10, homeschoolers, and elementary classrooms.
