This is really good, and very interesting.
Surprised I've never heard of this as we listen and play a lot of music.
The good players seem to really have this instrument in hand. Sounds to my ear like a mix of lute and guitar, with the range of a piano.
A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they know they shall never sit. Allegedly Greek, but more possibly fairly modern quote.
Consider helping by donating using the button in the upper left hand corner. Thank you.
Good morning DM. Glad you find it interesting. When they
first came out, I envisioned them as a combined bass and guitar, but that was just the acoustic unit. When some of these players add foot controls for fuzz, tremolo, wah, and all that they can get almost reminiscent of an organ, but they haven't really caught on with music groups.
be well and have a good one

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.
Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.

Afternoon Dysto, glad you liked it.
I really wish my hands still worked, because I think it would be a real gas to fool around with.
