There's nothng like this!

If you play piano and guitar, you should be all over this! It has elements of both, but takes on a life of its very own once you understand it. I've only had it for a week and I'm not saying I understand it toally yet, but it's so addicting to play and so much fun, and can lead you in so many creative directions. I look forward to really learning how to play it, and getting out there in the world and being the only kid on the block with it. A new challenge late in life, and a lot to love about that!
