Australian Bull Roarer or Bora-Bora
“Bull Roarer” or “Bora-Bora”, in Dutch “Snorrebot” or “Zoemhout”.
A traditional instrument of the Aborigines. Swing the board around above your head, and there is a heavy humming sound. 
If the bull roarer does not immediately make the desired sound, then turn it about 20 times on the rope so that it starts 'spinning'. The sound is created when the whiskers rotate around its longitudinal axis while you let it rotate around you in a wide arc.

Murchunga
The murchunga is a mouth harp, also called jaw harp or in English Jew's harp (although it has no connection with Jews or Judaism). In Dutch: mondharp, kaakharp.
The mouth harp is considered one of the oldest instruments in the world. Originally it comes from Asia, but its use has spread all over the world. This mouth harp is made in Nepal and consists of a flexible metal tongue that is attached to the frame. To play the instrument, the frame must be held against the teeth and the metal tongue played with the finger to produce a tone.
The murchunga is a single pitch instrument, but the player can create the most beautiful melodies and overtones by changing the shape of his mouth and the airflow. When the musician vibrates his tongue, an enchanting sound resembles the buzzing of a swarm of bees.

History

A monochord [Greek: μόνος (monos), χορδή (chordè=string) is a simple instrument that was used by the ancient Greeks to measure and control a scale. Its invention is attributed to Pythagoras (ca. 580-500 BC). At that time, a monochord consisted of an elongated sound box over which a string was stretched lengthwise. Under the string was a movable comb that could be slid along a scale.
The instrument was used by Pythagoras and Christiaan Huygens, who developed and checked their Pythagoras tuning and 31-tone tuning respectively.

Later extensions of the instrument with more strings continued to be called monochord.

As an independent musical instrument, the monochord has hardly played a practical role for a very long time. The first step in the development towards a full-fledged instrument was the addition of a second string, which made it possible to produce harmonic sounds.
Ptolemy (ca. 85-161 AD) and Aristidus Quintillianus (around 300 AD) speak of a "monochord" with 4 strings, which was called a "helicon".

By Boëtius (ca. 480-524 AD) the West became familiar with the monochord, which was then used as an aid in voicing the hymns. In the Middle Ages, the name "monochord" was often found corrupted as "manicorde" and "manicordeon".
In the Middle Ages monochords with up to 4, 6 or even 19 strings were also found.
