From performing inside a spinning wheel to playing classical tunes via wine glasses, musicians have found plenty of unique ways to create music. Recently, Turkish musician Gorkem Sen developed an unusual instrument, called the yaybahar, and it is unlike anything you've probably heard before. It is an electric-free, totally acoustic instrument, which produces mesmerizing vibrations that sound out of this world.
In the video, the musician is seen playing the one-of-a-kind instrument that will leave you completely in a trance by it's beautiful sound.
So how does it work? According to his page, "The vibrations from the strings are transmitted via the coiled springs to the frame drums. These vibrations are turned into sound by the membranes which echo back and forth on the coiled springs. This results in an unique listening experience with an hypnotic surround sound."
Watch Gorkem Sen play the yaybahar, and please SHARE this video with all your friends.
