Apart from a ukulele I can't find anything.  What would be cool is a melodica that plays with bellows instead of blowing into it, cos then I could sing... something like that. Anyone?

any upscale music shop will be able to help you. They don't sell cheap instruments.

I've been wanting to play for a long time and bought an acoustic for my birthday this year.  If you know people who play it's great to sit and listen/watch/learn with them.  Ultimately it comes down to practice though.  I love just experimenting with different sounds and trying to reproduce chords or riffs I hear in songs.  Craigslist.com has good listings for local people who will give lessons.

Interesting that you chastised me for not researching questions before posting.  I will, however, give you one of the ideas that I have researched and that is Pandora.com  It is a very  intereting music site.  Enjoy!\n\nAlso, you might want to look at www.jigzone.com  It is a lot of fun..no cost.  Cheers.

a cage that runs like a theremin, but besides the theremin sound, maybe moving towards the back of cage one could trigger samples, and maybe the left side could run other midi devices through various movements.\n\ni also once built what i called a feedback machine from old crate amp, a morris code device, a 6 volt battery, an old stereo speaker, and a blown out tweeter(which one could yell into as if it were a mic as well)  it made the most wonderful horrible noises you have ever heard and on a good day could get radio stations to come through the ever present feedback and static and screams it would produce.  sadly it blew/burned up with a billow of smoke and sparks one day on stage...but i would like to rebuild it one day, and make it a little better.(like so it doesn't blow)

I've got quite a few yahoo widgets and I've never seen one for a guitar. you can go to their widget site and look for one I might have missed it, they have quite a few to choose from. You can even suggest that someone build a widget like the one you want. If you don't have the widget engine you'll have to download it, it's free.

Make an instrument called an "ugly stick".  It is neat.  It is easy to make and you just use stuff you have around the house, and it will probably be the most unique instrument anyone will make.\n\nDuring the past two decades, the ugly stick has become especially popular on the Southern Shore of the Avalon Peninsula in Newfoundland. It is said that this stick, a musical instrument that makes a raucous noise, got its name because it is downright ugly. \n\nTo make one, purchase a dowel about 4 feet long from the hardware store or find a broom handle or straight stick. Nail an old boot to the bottom of the dowel. At the top of the dowel, nail a 2 litre empty juice tin. Along the sides of the dowel, loosely nail lots of pop or beer caps so that they make a jingling sound. There you have your ugly stick! \n\nThere are two ways to use your ugly stick to make music. It is banged against the floor to the beat of the music. Or, if you wish, find a shorter stick, about a foot long. This second stick is used to hit the ugly stick, running it along the bottle caps and then occasionally hitting the tin can at the top for variety, all the while banging the ugly and jingling stick against the floor to the rhythm of the music. \n\nThese links should help you.  Have fun!

Mostly trail and error.  Find something you really like, modify it so you can get a taste of what it would be like, and then try something of your own.  My husband has tab writing software that he writes his riffs on.  It is kind of annoying, sounds like old school nintendo, but gives you the basic idea of how it may sound.  Also helps you find the beat and speed of what you want, plus you can add bass, drums, etc.  The software is Tabledit.  I know they have a demo of it, but you are limited as to what you can save if I remember correctly.

And you've tried www.wwbw.com?  Try also Ebay, of course.  \n\nOther than that, try www.saxquest.com in St. Louis.  You'll have to email him and ask if he has one or maybe he'll know where you can get one.\n\nAnother source is Bob Ackerman in NYC.  I'm not sure if he deals with mouthpieces, but he'll know as well as anyone where to find one of these.
