Throughout human history, musicians have tried to push the boundary of sounds and music by inventing newer and innovative ways of creating music.
This day aims to encourage people to not only learn to play some of these uncommon instruments but also to make their own contributions to the world of music by making their own musical instruments.

Syracuse basketball recruiting: Updated look at Orange's 2019 big board (PS; Waters)
The NCAA's open evaluation period came to an end over the weekend.
For the past month, college coaches have criss-crossed the country to watch high school recruits participate in a variety of summer events.
Like their coaching colleagues, the Syracuse coaching staff took in the action from Orlando to Los Angeles and New York to Las Vegas.
With the open evaluation period over, now seems like a good time to take another look at which recruits the Syracuse coaches are still actively pursuing.
A few caveats about this list. It's not official. It's subject to change. A player who's on the list might in reality not be considering Syracuse anymore. Likewise, a recruit who isn't on the list might be on SU's radar (we just don't know it yet).
Still, this is a reasonably accurate look at Syracuse's recruiting targets in the 2019 class.

Josh Pace reunites with former Syracuse basketball teammates after TBT loss (PS; Ditota)
Demetris Nichols greeted him outside the Boeheim's Army locker room Sunday, his presence permitting Nichols to break out in a big smile.
Nichols' team had just lost to Golden Eagles to eliminate any chance of continuing to compete for $2 million in The Basketball Tournament. But here, in front of Nichols, stood Josh Pace, his former Syracuse basketball teammate.
The two embraced. They shared a few moments.
Pace, the former Orange guard, was in Atlanta last week to recruit. He is an assistant basketball coach for the Pepperdine women's team. Atlanta teemed with girls in basketball gear all week. The Nike nationals were in town. Pace would also attend a girls basketball tournament in Cartersville, Ga.
"It's a big recruiting period for us. There's two tournaments," he said, "so I've been out here recruiting."

Syracuse Basketball: Tyler Roberson is headed overseas (itlh./com; Mlodzinski)
Former Syracuse basketball forward Tyler Roberson is headed overseas. Roberson has agreed to play for the AEK Athens, a Greek league powerhouse.
Yes, you read that right. Former Syracuse basketball star Tyler Roberson will be playing overseas for one of the premier teams in the Greek League. AEK Athens a Greek club team, won the Champions League last season, after finishing 5th in their league.
Roberson actually had a very successful G-League campaign last season, averaging just over 10 points and 7 rebounds per game. In a guard oriented league, those numbers proved to be good, but Roberson decided that the Greek League was a better opportunity.
While some people may say that this is just another failed NBA Career by Syracuse, I’d ask them to think again.
Roberson was never the most talented player at ‘Cuse. From time to time, he gave it his all, having games where he would grab between 15 and 20 rebounds. However, Roberson’s career stats were lackluster to say the least, averaging just a bit over six points and six rebounds throughout his four year career.
