      ​@@fronreilly4787 I was about to comment how a treddle could be outfitted with one of those, without the machine. Love it! Looka like a similar musical concept to a glass harp. Have always wanted something more cost effective/practical to accomplish that sound.

    • @Shunteration

      Speaking of pedal controlled, have you considered rigging it up atop an old foot-pedaled sewing machine's desk, or building something something similar for it?
      ruclips.net/video/2o7_IAWhMtE/видео.html&ab_channel=COWDesignStudio
      That way, you could allow the player to have a bit more fine control over the speed of the spin.

      Honestly we'd probably have plenty more interesting innovations and inventions if people weren't doing it for the sake of money. Because what makes money is what gets funded and beautiful albeit niche instruments aren't really going to be invented all that much simply because most people don't care enough to fund it. I really hope this inspires people to go out and come up with their own though.

      This instrument can only play two chords without being retuned, making it's use in songs that have more than 2 chords extremely restricted
