A new musical instrument.

When I first unveiled ‪@TheGlide‬, a TON of people instantly said "oh it's like a theremin." I thought this was kind of annoying, to be honest, because I thought people were just trying to put a new thing into an existing box. It bothered me.
But this brand new instrument, the Wicka Wicka Whistle, people basically have NO existing thing to compare it to. The best one I've heard is from my friend Russ, who said "it sounds like R2D2 rapping." Lol.
It's really a percussion instrument, but one that you blow into. It's weird. I love it, though. And since I believe in it, I'm setting the price really low, because I want a ton of people to pre-order it and try it out for themselves.
So, for now, the pre-order price is going to be $39. Which is pretty crazy. 🙂
Tell your friends!

Highly amusing. Perhaps you should hire a beatboxer to replace the machine. I think that would be a great presentation.

Just to give some details: 1. It is acoustic and stand-alone. It's not MIDI or connected to a computer, and all the sound is produced because of the air you blow into it. 2. It has a little DC motor that runs off of two 9v batteries. Like a siren, the sound is produced by "chopping" the air that flows into it. What's different is that the pitch is *not* controlled by the amount of force, but by the button. 3. The button is a pressure sensitive resistor that makes the siren disc spin faster when it's pressed harder. It's a little too sensitive to actually play discreet pitches, but is great for the "wicka wicka" stuff I do in this video. Any other questions?

The pressure-modulated resistor it's pretty interesting to this one time electronics tinkerer. I don't think I've ever come across such a unit, but it definitely stokes the imagination!
