Looks like he glued a Chapman stick to a couple of steel guitars and wants to use them as midi triggers. Funny, that sure was a lavish video considering the instrument doesn't really exist yet.

Looks like you have to be a lefty to play it. It also looks like it will be stupidly expensive.

On the other hand, I doubt that one would ever get bored or run out of techniques to master.

He might have better commercial success if he made it modular so that you could start small (and less expensive) and then add-on as desired.

Quoted from the website "The StringStation utilizes every playing technique known to stringed instruments..."

you couldn't use a bow on it

Apparently Mr. Bartz has a patent on it:

The patent was applied for in 2001, so obviously the guy has been working on it for a while.
