Until about twenty minutes ago, I had never heard of this instrument. I must say I am impressed with what can be done with it though.
I wonder how many among us here have seen, or better, played one and what are your impressions?
Here is a video of Robert Culbertson playing his own version of George Harrison's "While my Guitar Gently Weeps".
Is it just me or does anyone else hear a vague reference to Ralph McTell's Streets of London?

So who has played one, who has previously heard one, or who knows a lot more about these wonderful sounding instruments.
