Is it anything like the "Gizmo" that 10cc pioneered before Godley & Creme left?

Yeah, it is in that you have one key (button?) per string. The Gizmo had tiny wheels that functioned like the bow of a violin, whilst this one here seems to have hammers only - although maybe it can come with picking devices as well, Idunno.

Yup, technically though it'd be a [i]Virginal[/i] 'cos there's only one string, innit. Also says a lot about the sort of player tempted to use one of these...
