I'm sorry to disappoint folks, but--the instrument will have strings made of wire--and thought the will have to make sound--the instrument is not supposed to be tuned or anything. No tuning pegs, just some fancy screws and hardware. But then again--you know me--I play tunes on elastic bands, cans, anything--I can probably pick out a tune on it! And the first thing I'll play is ELO's "The Whale"! And Willie--why am I going to be caned?
