celestial harp A quotation for duty to the Odd music site that has been collecting and archives for years now on the self-projected and self-built musical instruments, from innovative to the crazy. As evidence of the work of Oddmusic, here are some extracts ranging from bazantar (a 5 -string double bass with 29 ropes of resonance and 4 of bordon; click & scroll for examples; listen to those tagged “solo” ) until the Celestial Harp (in the figure) built around the concepts of the circle, square and spiral, with obvious astrological connotations, of which we present 3 examples (ex1, ex2, ex3).
