Once again a piece from the Excess Space Baggage series a five tongued thumb piano mounted on some kind of napkin holder. All these lovely things were just lying around the spaceroom so I thought I would mount them all together and see what happens. I still feel that I have yet to really rap my head around the true potential of the thumb piano, but I feel confident that day will soon come.
I have a double bridge thumb piano made with a gourd. There is a hole in each side (3 total; those two and the sound hole under the tines) that allow you to put your fingers there and if you continually touch the hole and move away from it you get a really fun vibrato sound.
I'll upload it to one of my sites and send you the link to it; my description may not be all too great.
Happy Tuesday!

that would be cool Matt thanks
What are the tines on this one?

Relating to what Matt said - I once had a thumb piano with similar holes in the side that was fun to play by covering up one of the side holes and putting the other one up to your mouth so you could use your mouth/vocal cavity to shape the resonance, jawharp style..
