Anyone here ever owned or tinkered with an omnichord? I've been offered one & it seems intriguing for soundscapes and backing tracks.... anyone experienced one of these oddities
 
I can remember lusting after one when they came out. I never did get round to buying one. It looks like a lot of fun. Maybe a little dated now but still some interesting possibilities. I can't remember if it's midi. There might be lots of sounds available to download. More portable than a keyboard but not much more than a laptop. I'd give it a go if the price is right.
 
Never heard of it before but as Dooce described it as like an Autoharp, go for it.

If the bars work like a 'harp, pressing more than one at a time you can pick melody as well. One enormous advantage of that electronic version is never having to replace a string or tune it. Okay for the first one or two, then the hand hurts.

BTW:-How's the nipper doing with the slushpump?
