    2. This thing is a rocker. I use it in my punk/ska/baroque band. It adds a wonderful texture that my music cannot go without. What a great sound.

    2. I've played one of these and it's fantastic fun, a beautiful design, and a real musical instrument. Children and others gathered from all around and played with me. Everyone broke out into big delighted smiles. This is a real "people's design." Highly inventive, creative, communal. It HAS to win.

    2. This is the coolest invention you can imagine. If you've ever played one before, it is totally other-worldly, like you're in a dream or something. A wonderful blend of design, form, function, art, and invention...
