Oh, Bob.
It's not enough for Bob to just play the Stick at the master level. Now he's playing three instruments at once! And he invented and made one of them. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmU2npHqHOM[/youtube] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmU2npHqHOMWow. We are fortunate to have great players on the Stick to keep us moving forward. Oh, and I love this accidental YouTube mashup that happened after that video finished. -Eric

Re: Oh, Bob.
Looks like Bob's got a Richard Bowring foot pedal on that Shruti Box. It's crossed my mind to self accompany with a harmonica in a neck brace but this is way more esoteric. And that cello thingy! WTF? What a hypnotizing sound. Pretty damn cool Bob.

Re: Oh, Bob.
He had one foot that wasn't playing an instrument, neither was he singing simultaneously. Such a slacker!

Re: Oh, Bob.
LADC: You are welcome. I'm adding Bob's notes from the video with some details:
=============== Bob's Video Notes:
"Published on Aug 3, 2015 In this song I use 2 new instruments I have been working with. The Celloharp and Shruti Box, All performed live.
The Celloharp is an Instrument I developed to create bowing sounds. There are 9 strings all tuned in C thirds apart. (E,G,B,D,F,A,C,E,G) The idea is to be able to play single notes or 3rds. Key wise it is a bit limiting. I plan to add a couple harp levers to change key. The Celloharp is designed as a one handed instrument I mainly use to occasionally create a new timbre along with the Stick.
The Shruti Box is a bellows reed instrument to create a drone. This instrument is used in Eastern music. I am able to play it with a foot pedal the Bowring pedal. I like this accompanying the Celloharp.
Enjoy
Bob"

Re: Oh, Bob.
And let's not forget The AcouStick, which is another brainchild by Bob.

Re: Oh, Bob.
Why is the AcouStick not being marketed?
