Uncommon Instrument Awareness Day is celebrated on July 31 of every year. Today is a day to celebrate rare, odd, and uncommon musical instruments. For a very long time, musicians have tried to discover new music and sounds by inventing unique, innovative, and newer instruments. Many unusual varieties of instruments in the world either have keys or strings in them. Few instruments like drums don’t have both keys and strings; few instruments play without even touching them, like Theremin which is an electronic instrument. This day is observed to create awareness on various uncommon instruments and also to encourage people to learn about such instruments. There are many instruments like a baritone, sousaphone, mellophone, Xaphoon, Saxophone, and a lot more, which people wouldn’t have heard of or can be recognized.
