Well, I build 'em and it's no wackier than some of the relatives of the instrument like the santir. And, frankly, some of the chromatic arrangements are kinda' screwy too, so what the hell...........

BTW, Dusty Strings is selling a piano version of their own (actually the pet project of one guy) and I guess it's marketable...not the same arrangement, but yet again, something different.

I suppose it's not unlike Libba Cotton on guitar.......It's what you learn. At this point, it would screw most of us up just as Libba's technique would on guitar.
