When I was playing the Naples Percussion Summit in September of 2010 I took some photos of the unusual instruments we used as well as a LOT of rope drums! Check out the video below – this has the Mahler 6 Hammer being played by John Evan, water crotales and the musical saw played by Florida Orchestra percussionist Kurt Grissom.
