Dunno if anyone has seen one of these yet:
It's an Ocean Harp instrument. It's supposed to be a metallic jug of some sort with plectrums and other gadgets that mimic the sound of whales or give you really out there synth-like sound. Lately I've been seeing a good amount of "world" instruments that are doing lots of cool things a keyboard can't do. Does anyone else know of any other similar instrument's that can create synth-like sounds?
