I see one of these and I go to youtube to look at the Super Mario theme being played on a similar instrument.  I had to explain it to Lisa, she had no idea how anyone would begin to play on one.

With a neck that wide, is there anyway to play it other than tapping?  Reminds me of a Chapman Stick.

i guess off topic, but arctopus is pretty awesome. when mick barr gets involved, things definitely get intense. check out krallice, too.
