Awesome!!  I love the instrument gallery.  The pencilina is a really 
cool-sounding instrument.  But the bazantar 
(http://www.oddmusic.com/gallery/om06200.html) is really crazy -- a 
5-string upright bass with an extra 33 strings.  Makes me wonder how hard 
it would be to do the mod.... :)
(Side note: I have to take issue with their claim that the 7' contrabass 
sax is the "biggest woodwind in the world".  First, I've seen pics of a 3m 
(10') contrabass recorder; and second, is a sax really a "woodwind"?)

If you're into weird instruments, check out a book/cd combo called 
"Gravikords Whirlies & Pyrophones", written (the book part) by Bart 
Hopkins.  All kinds of fun things represented, theramin included.
