I thought ok I'll check how much these are on the website thinking it would be around £40 but then it said £400 what a rip off!

@skoolsuks100 We understand that Skoog could seem like a pricey item sometimes, if you have not had a chance to try a Skoog first hand, but we know that the schools + music therapists, musicians + families that have already bought their Skoogs, do really love them + often call us again to order more :) There's heaps of other ways to use a Skoog + that makes them really worth while for Skoog players...especially for people who find it very challenging to play a typical instrument. Music for all!

There is a lot more to the Skoog than just the Skoog sensor. Check out the 'software' video links on the Skoog website to get a feel for the range of functions the software provides. The Skoog bundle is a combination of the Skoog instrument and the skoog software. The software gives you physical modelling, Sampling and Midi functionality. The software also allows you to customise your Skoog to suite a range of abilities and provides a single hub for using the SKoog in a variety of ways.
