See also this app from one company that sold this version of harp, only now in a modified version that sadly comes with logo that wouldn’t be suitable for larping.
Just a dump of unique or otherwise unusual instruments you could include in your worldbuilding project for the funny (pt.1)
Flötenkreis - Flute Circle
Attached to strings, suspended against dead-end tubes of air, the Flötenkreis creates sound via pushing the flutes downwards, forcing air to go through them. Each flute in this case creates only one note, but can be tuned to fit into different harmonies.
One note bamboo flute
Explained here by late Francis Bebey is a way of playing a one note flute solo, rather than stick it into a thingamajig contraption that is one entry above. The tune created is simplistic, but combined with more players and instruments can be like cherry on top of the whole musical cake.
Carnyx
I wouldn't call carnyx a "strange" instrument, but it is making a somewhat rare sound for a war horn, which I enjoy and wished to share.
Inca whistle jar
Demonstrated here are some amazing, monolithic contraptions of clay air chambers, together creating animal sounds in great detail. I love these instruments and really wish I had one home. While they can be used to send cipher sound messages (the "two times owl, one time wolf" kind) or as an aesthetic musical instrument in gardens, I imagine some could be perfect for creating an atmosphere in a stage play, creating the sound of a busy forest, or a dangerous night.
Death whistle
An Aztec invention, this is a whistle of war, used for psychological warfare in a way. Be warned, the sound might actually scare you, since it is meant to resemble human screams of pain.
Musical saw
The sound of Halloween, and UFO conspiracy videos for that matter.
Sheng
A Chinese instrument, it comes with some variation in shape and size, but the idea remains the same. Pleasant sound, somewhat unusual shape.
Marxophone
A cousin to the piano, it is fairly interesting in sound. I believe it would be great for atmospheric value of castles or other noble environments, if not Wild Wild West.

Imagine Your OTP
Imagine your otp sitting at home enjoying each others company when Person B gets up leaving Person A confused, then comes back with (instrument of your choice) and playing it around the house causing Person A to smile then get an instrument and play along with them.
I want 2 thank the artist, Shikgang who is helping me out with some contributions.
Iyayraykere, nuyekur. This should give us some insight to the instruments that can be revitalized modern day. I hope you enjoy.
Banjos are the outcast of musical instruments
Like just imagine all the guitars in a group meeting and the door suddenly slams open to reveal a Banjo and then the electric guitar leans over to the ukulele is like "who the invited Cleetus the Cowboy"
I love anything that shows digging into the guts of the instrument, or building the instrument, or rebuilding the instrument. So this is good fun.
