5. Theremin
We are half way through our list of 11 unusual musical instruments with weird names, and at number 5 we have the Theremin. It is one of the earliest musical instruments to use electricity to create music. The device was invented by Leon Theremin a notable name when it comes to weird musical instruments. This instrument was used in many science fiction movies, but perhaps the most notable thing about a Theremin is that the musician can play the instrument without ever touching it.
