My science teacher was telling me about this earlier. I've always wanted to play clarinet like Benny Goodman!

Awesome!

Sounds like some stuff made in Softsynth on Atari XL/XE (Does anyone remember this? :D) or early 90's MOD music. The instrument looks and behaves pretty cool too!

It's a wind string, keyboard, synth instrument all wrapped up in one!

If this does well, I hope EastWest and Vienna will make some kind of compatible setup!

Those things are going to be pretty expensive, anywhere from $6k to $9k.

It's planned to be 3950 British pounds, about $6300 at current rates. Still, that a whole lot of instrument when you consider a Starr Labs Z-Tar M3 is about the same price ($5900-6200, dependent on paint job), isn't open-source (meaning if MIDI format dies, so does your expensive controller) and requires you have at least passing knowledge of a fret board.

Hope it will still be around by the time I save up enough!

This reminds me when I was in high school on vacation in Florida and saw a duo where the guitar player had a guitar with a gutted out keyboard attached to the bottom part of the guitar body and a drum stick tied to the headstock for hitting on a high-hat.
