MIDI "fingerboard" - New Flickr Shot

Interesting piece. According to the caption that's a MIDI ribbon controller based on the Kurzweil Expression mate. Shot by royce. "This is a somewhat customized midi controller based on the kurzweil expressionmate. i used to play violin, and especially loved string quartets, so i wanted to have a "fingerboard" for glissando and vibrato effects."

Update: I asked royce how he positioned it when he played it. He replied, "i pretty much play it like a cello, although still use keys for discrete pitches. also use a footpedal extensively. this wendy carlos ripoff used it quite a bit for natural vibrato effects (i used to play alot of classical violin): rrooyyccee-aaddaaggiioo.html
