Anyone know where I can get some inexpensive exotic instruments?

zedsalt	Date: July 27, 2007 @ 11:01 AM I've purchased a few things from Lark in the Morning. I LOVE getting their catalog; it's edutainment! I hear 10,000 Villages has a few instruments. Both places are DEEPLY concerned with not taking undue advantage of instrument makers in Third World countries, so the prices are reasonable...not too awfully pricey, but not incredibly low, either.
SimonWaldram	Date: July 27, 2007 @ 4:28 PM A similar place to Zed's suggestion: http://www.getethical.com/getethical_shop.php?id=18&cat=Musical%20Instruments Get Ethical are a lovely “Not Just For Profit” who trade fairly with people and organisations in third world countries. They have some cool instruments for sale too

zedsalt	Date: July 28, 2007 @ 10:29 AM Oh, man, I wish I still had the latest email ad they sent me! Those are great, too. They try to make up little themes for their specials, so for, say, around St. Pat's, they'll have a sale on pennywhistles, bodhrans, Uillean pipes, etc. Their URL used to be larkinam.com, but I think they lengthened it recently....

officernarc	Date: July 29, 2007 @ 7:05 AM you could always snoop around for one of those thumb pianos. they seem to be pretty cheap.
SimonWaldram	Date: July 29, 2007 @ 7:29 AM I've got one of those! They're very cool, although you're a bit limited to the sounds you can make on them unless you're really good.
PrincessTast...	Date: July 31, 2007 @ 2:02 PM Nonsense! Thumb pianos ROCK!
Snoogans775	Date: August 1, 2007 @ 12:27 AM I still have my Lark in the Morning business card in my desk right here...I always visit them whenever I'm in Frisco or Seattle. Lessee, hey, there's also one in Mendocino! Who the fuck would've though that would be the goto place for anything exotic!
