Ebow: mimic the chords in the chorus but in the highest register on guitar. Almost sounds like a string section. Lots of energy.
Mellotron samples of strings, choir, flute.
Chinas instead of crashes.
Hand made spiral cut cymbal. A one off from a Sabian clinic. Sounds like glass breaking with a long sustain.
Cool double chamber Ocarina for instant ethnic feel.
Jaymar toy piano.
Double reed snake charmer flute from Turkey. (can't remember what it's called)
Remo spring drum (sounds like thunder)
Tyco Hot Lixx guitar. Actually makes some really cool noises. And the whammy bar works.
Actually I generally buy anything that's cheap and makes sound. I have a huge collection of dumb toys and cheap world instruments that come in handy very often for giving something a different kind of sound. They're usually less than $5 at garage sales so why not?!?
