Top 20 Weirdest Instruments - Part 5

Back after the Summer break it's the fifth part of the show that's all about the strange world of weird musical instruments. For fans of cult band DEVO, there’s an interview with Mark Mothersbaugh and the boys talking about the unreliable stage antics of their EDP WASP.
Ade Utley chats about his Bentley Rhythm Ace, plus there's a rare glimpse into the dark world of maverick instrument maker Harry Parch.
And what with the Omnichord, Animusic and a bunch of fairground organs it's all happening in this full-on episode of the Top 20 Weirdest Instruments... Ever!

Oh what a shame you had to mock and sneer. A bit of enthusiasm would've killed you?

I'll not bother watching parts 1-4.

Are you sure you've been watching the same show?

Maybe it's a brit thing but I really enjoyed it, and the previous ones

Your loss Fraser!

These shows are excellent - many thanks for making them. And please don't get put off by the odd inane comment from those who seemingly just don't 'get' irony. And as for enthusiasm, the amount of work involved in putting these together sure displays gazillions of it!

Top stuff guys!

Fantastic Job Fellas! I can't get enough of the top 20 series:)

Also, the show dialog is tops! I can't believe they can deliver some of those lines with a straight face? I'd keel over laughing;)
