I've never been a big fan of 3-piece live bands (drums, guitar, bass) but I could see a guy or gal on this thing with a drummer and bass player and really produce some melodic stuff with decent range . . . heck, they may even be able to chop out the bass player. Which reminds me of frequenting night clubs and dance lounges in my youth where a 2-piece band (drums and keyboard) really got us dancing. Can't remember the name but they'd cut the lights in the middle of a song and when the lights came back on they'd be in gorrilla masks. The drummer was also on a rotating pedestal which was cool for us kids . . . sorry for the digression

That is a really interesting instrument. I would like to get one but as Bob Uecker would say "It's a little outside my price range"!
It is a beautiful sounding instrument.
When you are at the checkout line and they ask if you found everything say "Why, are you hiding stuff?"

It's very like many of the zither and cymbalom type instruments, but the tuning arrangement is interesting and probably user-friendly. Neat bit of design.
Jazz relative beginner, starting at a much older age than was helpful.

Interesting, we love trios. Cream, Stevie Ray, ZZTop, Hendrix and many more. The demands on the singer guitar player are enormous as they have to play an interesting rhythm and fills while singing in addition to all the solos and the best trio bass players and drummers work together so well to make it all happen, e.g., Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker. Some of my fav gigs were trios - reckon I’m biased  FWIW and forgive the ole guy post hijacking. Bud

Two or more lead instruments that can call and answer and intertwine with each other is what I enjoy for a full, rich sound. Chicago, Pink Floyd, Beatles, Alan Parsons, Grateful Dead are a few examples. Give me a keyboard, 2nd guitar, sax, xylophone, violin or brass instrument anytime. But to each his own, music is highly personal

But to each his own, music is highly personal Hey, didn’t mean I don’t like it all … just love the effort a good trio takes. I recorded garage rock bands in the 60’s and played in a number of five piece acoustic bands for decades. Janice’s brother and a brother in law played in some notable progressive rock bands. And we much like classic rock of the 80’s, jazz and more. It’s all good!

Fully agree, to really pull it off all 3 players need to go above and beyond. ... back to the subject . . . check out this full song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wr87Z7rZiWE

Basically a next-generation Zither (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KKQDotECdg for the original). But yes, sounds pretty good, especially through a good amp.
