It must have had some kind of seal on it, but not to much because the outer peice has to move back and forth for diferent sounds. Anyway, it sounded great and had quite a few different notes to it. It really took the dig to the next level. Far better than just the one droning tone. Not that the drone is bad, this is that, plus more.
wow, like a glorified slide whistle! well, withouth the whistling part. that reminds me of the pitch bend on the keyboard i used to use, the dige patches were some of my favorite to manipulate.
