This looks fun... like a cross between a melodica and a Yamaha synth with breath controller (well, without any synth controls

). I guess it is a melodica with a 1/4" out...

And it comes with a manly belt to whip people that don't like your playing.

Looking at the pictures I thought "Keyboard Kenny G."

Hohner's made them for years, calling them melodicas.

I saw a guy use one back around 1970 with a pickup on it plugged into a Marshall amp

Yep, an electric piano melodica. It looks like it's larger than the one Hohner makes. I wonder if Hammond-Suzuki might start making accordions and concertinas in the future.

Joy Division and New Order used melodicas on quite a few songs.

I totally want to be in a band with that dude, he looks like the guy who's shitfaced at a wedding and says inappropriate things to the brides niece and her dad...

dude. you can put a trumpet mouthpiece on it.

for other noise...i always thought it was fun in my school band days to put a sax mouthpiece on a trumpet...

so you could put a sax mouthpiece on it too.

or an oboe...bassoon...etc mouthpiece.

then run it through your geiger thing.

Right, and it is used all over dub raggae as well... but this is different in that it is higher quality and has the built in 1/4" out... easier to use effects boxes and what not IMHO.
