I’m not even sure what I think of this, but as an upright bass player, and incurable geek, it appeals to me on many levels. Of course, the musical purist in me also cringes every time I watch it, although I can’t stop watching it. Here’s the video:
From boingboing.

I think that is really cool! Music purists apply the rules to create beautiful music. It’s the people who are purists about the passion of music that end up creating (and probably having way more fun too!). That’s my bit from someone who knows nothing about music but always admires people who are willing to break out and explore with it.

That’s ummm .. definitely thinking outside the box.
I understand what you mean by cringing, but at the same time, it’s way cool that something reasonably musical can be done as a hack like that.

Yeah, I think it’s always cool when someone can make music in a new and unique way. This thing amazingly sounds very much like a regular acoustic bass!
