It's a cool instrument. Too bad we're still limited by the number of fingers we have.

I don't get it.. you can play a bass guitar by just pressing on the strings and releasing? It looks like each hand is play a set of melody concurrently.

That fvcking thing looks like something Paul Bunyan would play. A tree trunk with some bungee cords strung across it or something.

i think someone threw some sound effects in there, i don't think you can get harmonics to sound like that (The coins.)

I think he had some kind of foot pedal that changes the sound.
