"a 21st century Keytar" !

 

JPaul23,
Yeah, it's expensive, but we can dream - the idea is great!

i don't think so - every midi keyboard has more features.

 

herw,
But do the features respond to a player's natural movements?

yes - i think that eigenharp is a way for guitarists to change to a keyboard player
:lol:

 

herw,
The guitar is my main instrument, but keyboards are much easier to play, and easier for composing, and the eigenharp even gives sax players a hand!
If you know what the uillean pipes (from Ireland) are, you know that they use a bellows to provide the wind --- that's so they can continue to drink while they play!

:lol:
ok that's a weighty argument

 

herw,
I'll lift my pint to you tonight.

i kind of agree with you
