The ocarina (a fipple type of instrument)
The thumb piano, i think it's M'BIRA in African.
The Kazoo (you know the little submarine-like things).
The nose whistle.
What about your own vocal cords, whistling, fingersnaps.
There are some cute looking little trumpets available.
And the piccolo and the sopranino recorder

Hi - just joined the group...I am also a didgeridoo player and noticed
that someone posted a mention of the didg in this thread. Making a PVC
didg is really easy...I cut 1.25" pvc to about 43" and combine a
mixture of pvc various fixtures or adapters to build a mouthpiece - or
you can just use beeswax. Then I roughen up the surface with sandpaper
and spray it with a can of that granite texture stuff to make it look
more natural.

Too put that in the context of this thread, tiny instruments, I
thought I would introduce you to the DID BOX - a "tiny" didgeridoo, at
least as compared to a normal didg. They're about 16" long or so,
depending on the model - which is "tiny" for a didg. Amazingly, they
sound pretty darned good. Check them out at:

Get you some junk and an SM57. Beat on it, blow it, throw it, swirl
it, bang it, spring it, bop it upside the head. Do that real fucking
loud. A lot!
