Music nerds and band geeks all over the world, REJOICE! There is a new instrument to meet the world that you're going to have to embed within your vocabularly.
The Eigenharp! Ah yes, this... peculiarly named instrument is the latest and greatest in musical-electronic engineering. What IS an Eigenharp? Well, I could get all technical, but I'll save you the trouble. The nickname for this curiosity that has spawned on the internet is "The Any Instrument" Instrument. Obviously, this is on account as the Eigenharp is capable of reproducing the sounds of a large amount of different instruments within one object, including clarinet, synthesizer, drums, and many more.

The BBC did a cover story that shows you a quick run down of how it works, as well as lets the students who have begun mastering this odd instrument to play you a song. Okay... so they play Moby, but it sounds REALLY COOL. You guys won't be disappointed. You'll also want to see them play The James Bond Theme. View the BBC link before you watch this lower video though. And enjoy!
