The Cémprés is a bronze metallophone from western Indonesia included in Gamelan Degung ensembles. It is struck with a mallet whist the other hand dampens the last note by holding the key struck previously. It is pitched lower than the similar looking Peking.

The Yòm wáya is the name given to the arched harp in central and eastern Nigeria by the Berom people (who live in the central area). The wooden resonator tapers towards the neck. Seven strings stretch from pegs on the neck to a wooden string holder projecting above the sound table. Attached to metal rods on either side of the string holder are copper rings that vibrate when the instrument is played, acting as buzzers.
This instrument was made around 1950.

The Octavin (sometimes spelt Oktavin) is a wooden single reed instrument. Its body resembles a Bassoon body bent double, with a Clarinet mouthpiece and a metal bell at the two ends. It was patented by Oscar Adler of Markneukirchen, Saxony in Germany in 1893, and never achieved any popularity. It is about 40 cm high and has 13 or 14 keys. Some straight versions were also produced.
These instrument was made in thee 1890s by Oscar Adler (one is stamped with the name of J.G. Doering who was a dealer). The one on the left is in B ♭ and has 16 keys. The one on the right in C and has 15 keys.

A spontaneous, pandemic shelter-in-place project. From concept to strumming in a day, using a cigar box, scrap wood, a broken hand saw, fishing line of different tests, a few screws for tuning pegs, small nails to anchor the strings, and one finishing nail for a fret. All Ziggy's design, and it sounds great!

The Clavichord is a European keyboard instrument invented in the 14th century. Sound is created by striking brass or iron strings with small metal blades called tangents. It differs fron the Piano in being small and rectangular in shape, with the strings running (more or less) perpendicular to the keys rather than parallel to them. The tangents do not leave the strings once they have struck them. Instead, they remain in contact with them throughout the duration of the sound.
This instrument was made in Saxony. Germany around 1740. It is unfretted. With a unfretted Clavichord each string prodces a single note, As a result there are a greater number of strings and the instrument is larger.

The Concertina was developed in the 1830s in both England and Germany. It differs from the Accordion in having buttons in the same direction as the bellows rather than perpendicular. There are two keyboards of buttons, one at each end of the instruments bellows. Each button has an individual note.
There are several different types of Concertina. The English Concertina is octagonal and unisonoric (the same note on push and draw). The German Concertina (Chemnitzer) is rectangular and bisonoric (a different note on push and draw). There is also an Anglo-German Concertina (usually just called an Anglo) developed later in the 1860s which is closer to the English shape (usually hexagonal) and has the German note system. Other difference between the English and Anglo Concertinas are: the former have thumb straps and the latter hand straps, the rows of buttons on the former are straight and on the latter slightly curved downwards. The Duet Concertina is harder to pin down as there are a number of different systems. They are all unisonoric and have the bass notes are on the left side and the treble are on the right. The player can then play the melody on the right hand, with an accompaniment on the left, thus the name Duet.
This is a c.1925 45 key Jeffries Anglo Concertina.
C. Jeffries are one of the best known makers of the Anglo. Charles Jeffries originally worked for George Jones before staring his own company. Their first concertinas were probably made for them by Crabb, but by the 1890s the company were making complete instruments. Charles Jeffries died in 1906, and his sons Charles Jr and Thomas carried on as makers until around the 1920s,

The Bandoneón, based on the German Concertina, was popularised in South America, particularly Argentina, and associated with Tango.

The Dvojnice is a double flute from Serbia and Bosnia made of a single piece of wood. The pipes are joined for part of their length. They then diverge and are angled slightly outwards The name of the instrument and the number of fingerholes in each pipe varies from region to region. When playing the instrument is put it in one side of the mouth, so more of the breath into the single mouthpiece goes into the left hand pipe which is therefore louder.
This instrument was made in Sarajevo (now in Bosnia and Herzegovina) circa 1895. The left hand pipe has four fingerholes and a right hand one has thre.

The Accordion is a bellows driven free reed instrument. From the 1820s onwards several different free reed instruments were invented across Europe (the first to use the name Accordion was patented in Vienna in 1829). They evolved into three main types of instrument: Diatonic, Chromatic and Piano Accordions (as well as Concertinas).
The Diatonic Accordion is operated by pressing buttons or keys which allows air to flow across the reeds (these are strips of brass or steel) which vibrate to produce sound. It is bisonoric (the buttons make one note when the bellows are compressed and another when they are expanded).
The Melodeon is the name used In England for the Diatonic Accordion (though the player may well be using an instrument manufactured in continental Europe and known there as an Accordion). A Melodeon has between 1 and 3 rows of button on the right hand side.
This instrument is a Hohner Cornelia 1 in D/G. The Cornelia 1 is a Continental Chromatic Accordion with 3 voices. Mike Rowbotham has converted the right hand keyboard to D/G Melodeon tuning, with the bass minor chords taken out. The term Systeme mixte is used to refer to a diatonic (fifth apart based) system on one hand and Stradella on the left hand.

The Trombone (the name means large trumpet) has a bigger mouthpiece and a longer tube (bent into an S shape) than the Trumpet. The Valve Trombone has valves like those found on Trumpet. The first ones was made in the 1810s in Germany. The valves can be both piston (move up and down) and rotary (rotate through 90 degrees). With some Trombones the valves substitute for the slide (having the same function of changing the pitch) and with others they are added into slide instruments (giving access to additional notes in the low register or producing special effects such as trills).
The Trombone da Tracolla (or Over the Shoulder or Rear Facing Trombone) has the bell behind the player facing backwards. It was popular in the 19th century, particularly in Italy.
This instrument was made by Ferdinando Roth in Milan, Italy in the middle of the 19th century. It has three rotary valves. There is no slide.
