    Default New musical instrument

    I came across the following on BBC and thought it might be of interest - at least I thought it was!

    Cut & Shoot, Texas. Yes, it's a real place and much more sedate than the name might suggest.

    Wow. That's like the techo version of the pib uilleann. Looks like it would be fun to play with, though I'm not sure I could ever lean to actually play it.

    I think you might be right there JR, though I'd be looking for something to squeeze under my arm. A missed opportunity there IMHO! :smilielol5:

    It it's a success, and the prices come down (around £4k from Eigenlabs although the little one looks more affordable), I suppose we can expect to see every street busker with one.

    There's a competition to win the top of the range one at the website too, all you have to do is buy one of the little ones.
