The daxophone is a relatively new instrument. Like the electric guitar, it uses analog pickups to amplify sounds the player creates with a simple physical interface. This is the type of instrument I like most.

This video shows how the daxophone is played and some of the sounds it can make.

This album by the remarkable Kazuhisa Uchihashi is super fun music music played brilliantly, and probably the most accessible example of what the daxophone is capable of as a musical instrument.

The daxophone is a pretty interesting way to get sounds in general.
