What new musical Instruments were invented in the United States?
musical instruments December 28th, 2009any musical instuments that have been invented in the United states would be great. Thank you.
Well, the sousaphone was presumably invented by or named after John Philip Sousa. I imagine it’s American.
I imagine we might also be responsible for one or another of the various banjos, and a funny guitar with a metal sounding board called a dobro. There’s also the autoharp.
We’re probably also guilty of things like the banjolele and similar combination instruments.
