Melodica

This (Quicktime required) is disturbing, especially for those of us who neither do mornings well nor drink coffee. But, hey, you can't be anything but happy when there's a melodica involved. It's the law. Christian Wolff is probably the most significant melodica-playing composer, and Steve Reich even has a piece named after the instrument (although I believe that he actually used a melodica-knock-off toy instrument for his tape piece).

Okay, it's not the law. But it ought to be.
