Yep, doesn't do it for me.

 

[Fred the Shred]

While not doubting the instrument's potential, all I see in spite of the number of strings is something a reasonable performer with a goold old Chapman Stick and half the number of strings pulls off easily.

looks like a cock and balls

 

[Splinterhead]

no whammy bar?? wtf?

Yeah, and the vid title reads like a big innuendo.

+1 agree completely.

Nail to the head.

Agreed, this seems to be overkill for the sake of it, not as an actual avenue of musical expression.

Sounds about right to me. Maybe I would change my opinion if see something that actual warrants the use of all those strings.

 

[Solodini]

At least it's fairly catchy, rather than just wank!

 

[SenorDingDong]

I don't want to think about the time spent gauging those strings... Also, it sounds so out of tune.

 

[in-pursuit]

that was absolute rubbish, I'm pretty sure I could do better on my standard six string.

yeah...cock and balls don't do it for me

That guy had better watch out- Optimus Prime is pissed and wants it back.

 

[sell2792]

What the fucks goin' on here?!

 

[Konfyouzd]

Meh...

 

[Waelstrum]

Looks cool. I think that this one guy is hardly showing the full potential of such an instrument, and I highly doubt he's doing anything that can't be achieved on a chapman stick or even (probably) a six string bass. It does seem like overkill for the sake of overkill in this case, but I do think that this probably has a lot of potential.

I will add, however, what is going on with those neck pickups? There are only two, and they 'only' cover twelve strings.

I somehow can't see how it's fun to walk about bearing a piano, but I have to applaud this guy for his courage and creativity to build and play this crazy thing!

LMAO

seriously, as mentioned, no need for that many, chapstick would do it fine.
its not a bad tune though
