So, Leonardo da Vinci designed a keyboard that bowed strings, but never built it; now, after 500 years, a guy has built it from Leo's plans
and plays it
. Enjoy!

The sound reminds me a lot of the old melodeon organ I own. The attack is almost identical. The notes themselves are very close to the reeds in an old pump organ which are a bit fuller than the reeds in a melodeon.
