    I really like the Chinese one string instrument, the Erhu. If you want something haunting, or sad, or reflective, or creepy, or even ethnic, it fits the bill.

    Did someone already mention the cell phone. Reference John Ottman's score to CELLULAR.

    I've always been a fan of the waterphone. I have to agree it's not a beautiful sounding instrument, but it's very effective! Davis makes great use of it in The Matrix, for example.

  2. How about chairs as percussion in The Missing?

    though the thing was as overrated as the taikos in otherwise great score to The Last Samurai. (The Missing is Horner's recent best score in my book)

    Taikos overrated?? Never. tongue

    I love the hammer-on-iron sound for Isengard in the Lord of the Rings. Very effective.

    I have many scores that could be labelled 'ethnic' (or if it wasn't film music as 'world music' ) and I just love all of the instruments. And although the duduk is highly overused I still love the sound of it. I like percussion, flutes, you name it.

    Maybe it is easier for me to say the instrument that I don't like, which is the saxophone for instance. Almost makes me nauseous.

    Right... When was it last used as an instrument?

    No, wait. I probably don't wanna know this.
  3. I want an Eigenharp!

    I think the theremin has made the greatest impact on film music. The other instruments are fine but limited.
    listen to more classical music!
