Here's an example, this man gets really lovely tone out of this budget instrument (despite the automatic volume control in the camcorder audibly squashing all the peaks): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uumuT...eature=related
And another:

And this is a pretty nice demo of the instrument, including comparison with a regular guitar:

If my hands were smaller I'd probably get one of these just for fun and giggles (and to add interesting sounds to some of my home recordings).

Gnobuddy - thanks for the reply , Ive seen some wonderful things done on Youtube with all sorts of different and interesting instruments -even a fellow who put rubber bands on a cigar box - I really believe with enough practice anyone could play a song that sounded half way decent even on the worst instrument . I believe they also make the Gitaralee out of other woods -maybe I'll give one a shot when they come out with better made model -but I try not to buy wall hangers ( i have a few of those already ) Peace.
