How 'bout one shaped like a beer bottle that plays “the mug of brown ale?” or a kettle that plays “the cup of tea”? Possibilities are endless here. 
Ummm…
A wind instrument’s sound is created by the player blowing air into the instrument, which creates a vibration of air known as the acoustic resonance.
Say what?
most traditional wind instruments have taken on tube-like shapes for which the resonance is well understood, as creating free-form instruments manually has long been considered a challenge.
Not so much of a challenge. They are simply creating ocarinas, calculating the internal volume and the area of the holes, and predicting the playing frequencies from
.
As many here know, predicting the positions of toneholes in a tube-like shape is not necessarily “well understood”.
It’s an idiotic invention of zero use to the tinwhistle community. I just found it amusing that people went to the trouble designing software to create novelty ocarinas in weird shapes. Bachelorette parties, for one, will never be the same. How about a d*** that plays “here comes the bride!”
It can get worse…there’s a 3D guitar kit, too:

I actually saw this kit in person. I can’t even comprehend.
Could be worse than that - wait until the 3D bodhran kit comes out.
Wow, that serpent really looks like a serpent, but it’s not big enough.
Indeed tin coffeepots in the right hands could pull it off https://forums.chiffandfipple.com/t/penny-whistle-inside-coffeepot-a-clown-instrument-help/95556/8
