Bit of a random post but if a praying mantis was to play any musical instrument what would it be and why? Any Suggestions?

I would love to say that my answer is backed up by years of scientific research on the mantis, however just looking at the creature it would look pretty funny playing the harp with its "praying" like limbs plucking. Also more logical reasoning is that most mantises are ambush predators, waiting for prey to stray too near. Basically the mantis would lull the audience of hundreds in the Royal Albert Hall(by this time he is big time and he's got a sell out tour) into a sense of harmony and bliss than when they were mesmerised by the mantises masterful plucking on the harp he would then strike, unleashing his ferocity.
