Pikasso
February 28th, 2004
This bizarre-looking custom-built guitar is aptly named: the Pikasso.
I notice that the description of the instrument states that when the Pikasso’s 42 strings are tightly strung the instrument is under 1,000lbs of pressure. I don’t know a thing about guitars, so I have no idea whether that’s an unusually high tension level or perfectly routine, but I can’t help thinking that if the strings ever broke the poor guitarist would be flayed alive…

Excellent link; the whole Oddmusic site is equally interesting.

I’m afraid that, being resolutely non-musical, all I can do is goggle at some of the weird-looking instruments.
For example, take a look at the Due Capi, which looks more like something you’d find on a trolley at the side of your dentist’s chair than it does a musical instrument.
