I owned a khene once. Found it in one of those shops that sells incense and wind chimes, back in the late 80s. Didn't know what it was called or where it was from. Mine would only make a noise like a lonely owl.

I saw a busker in Singapore with an instrument I had never seen before; miniature pipe organ meets bassoon was what popped into my mind when I saw it. I was curious enough to look for information on the internet. It was a sheng (seen in the second vid starting at the 1:39).
I love the mix I see in the videos. So many ways to make musical sounds!
