Some interesting new instruments presented by the finalists of the 2025 Guthman Musical Instrument Competition, including this one called Mulatar, which "combines elements of slide guitar, harp, and percussion into a single instrument.

Moving bridges allow musicians to adjust notes freely, while the harp section supports quick retuning, and the body functions as a drum."

Continuing with Chas McDevitt's Skiffle book, I was surprised to learn—although I probably shouldn't have been—that Peter Hearn, who constructed a mini folding washboard for player and singer Beryl Bryden, made an electric washboard. I'd never heard of such a thing! The Bonzo Dog Band recorded a song including a solo on an electric trouser press, but of course that wasn't using electricity to alter or amplify the sound.

Checking the Internet I found a company in Spain, Traginer, claiming to make the first and original electric washboard: as they were only established in 2007 it looks like they were beaten to it by a few decades.

There's probably a general rule that if you can play it, a musician somewhere will have tried sticking a plug on it.

TIL of the existence of the #MagicOvertoneStringboard. consisting of two canoe-shaped (and sized!) units, the larger of which is 2.3 metres long. Saw a pair that was really nicely made in natural wood at the #fleamarket yesterday, and the vendor didn't have a clue so it took me a moment to find out: youtu.be/Ikd6UqgOCBA If anybody has any use for it, visit the Troedelmarkt Aachener Platz at
#Düsseldorf on Saturday. #musicalInstruments works a bit like a #HammeredDulcimer

#Oxford #today is the last chance to see the #BateCollection of #MusicalInstruments in its historic premises in St. Aldates, open from 2-5. And to play their #theremin or #serpent. Closed from tomorrow until they reopen in the new Schwarzman building some time in the summer. Staff told me they won't have more space there, but will use more efficient display technology, such as drawers.

the three kinds of things I'm pinning up on #pinterest so far are #MusicalInstruments #VintagePostcards and #FamilyHistory pics. Based on this the site's algorithms decided to show me ads for cars. Need to start a board with explicit #BanCars content, see how long it takes them to take the hint ... uk.pinterest.com/gross3605/
