I agree it sounds like a terrible idea for amplifying your instrument for a traditional sound but, as someone who is also interested in more experimental music, it could sound really weird and unlike anything else, which is why I'd like to hear it in action.Joe Cook wrote:Why?

I used to be the administrator of a rather large forum. Some forums require a lot of moderation, which makes people angry.

I like how he has plug-in-jacks for common 120 volt accessories such as blenders, mixers, and toasters.Nic Neufeld wrote:OK, check out the lap steel he has it pictured with:
I'll give him credit, he must be an out of the box thinker to say the least!
A banjo, like a pet monkey, seems like a good idea at first.
