Chapman Stick
Taking time off from penises and free-associating with sticks instead.
This is a rare and very difficult instrument. Sort of like an electric guitar, but with twelve strings. Merely fretting the string produces a tone, and a player can do melody and rhythm two-handed at the same time - sort of like a piano. I can't imagine how you wrap your brain around all that.
I first saw and heard one in a live concert by a friend - he did an arrangement of Aaron Copland's Hoedown from the ballet
Rodeo - you know, the beef-its-whats-for-dinner theme song.
It has a lush, rich sound.
You might find more here at YouTube. See this, especially.
