Post 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.

Wow. 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.

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.

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

What a great combo. Bob puts the "I am" in ambidextrous.

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"

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

Why is the AcouStick not being marketed?
