Spectacular-looking but pretty dumb. Technically a string bass but it can only play a few notes, slowly and with no nuance. You don’t press the fingerboard as you would other orchestral stringed instruments. It’s far too difficult and awkward. Instead you depress a huge lever that in turn pushes the string down, and there are only 8 or so levers. No vibrato, tremolo, or glissando for you!

- 6stringmerc 4y agoI dunno man after 25 years of guitar I think it’s pretty dumb too. The tuning and chording are all insane. That said, i think the gimmick is neat but agree with you in ways - I bet a 3d printed from CF or something with good resonance could add in those music techniques and make something pretty fun. If anything it could add some tasty meat to synth soundtrack lines.
- tengwar2 4y agoIt's in an orchestra. Not every instrument has to have every capability - that's why they are used together. I had a weird error from the embedded YouTube link in that page, but I found a page which showed it being used realistically_ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v62YjjV-Roo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v62YjjV-Roo.
