Live Band, ThumFest™ 2005, www.thummer.com

The Thummer™ is a new musical instrument that is more expressive, easier to learn, and expands musical horizons.

In music education, the Thummer can help
- Beginners SUCCEED in understanding and playing music
- Music teachers SUCCEED in teaching more students more music at a faster rate, thereby gaining a competitive advantage that could result in earning more money from the same teaching load

In music performance and composition, the Thummer can help musicians
- Look and sound different enough to be interesting, but not so different as to be weird
- Get more out of the other music gear they've already paid for
- Play with more emotional expression
- Explore musical effects that have never before been possible
- Gain a deep understanding of Western music theory
- Apply this understanding, more easily than ever, to the music of other times and cultures

The Healys have regular gigs in their home town, playing covers and original songs. The Thummer supports this well. The Thummer ALSO makes understanding music theory easier. Should this *necessarily* lead to esoteric music? I don't think so. Gavin Healy is happy that the Thummer helps him understand chords and chord progressions better and play them more easily. Others will be, too. Yet your point is well-taken; I appreciate your making it.

Thanks! :-)

Very cool!

I just don't understand why everyone seems to use stock guitar solo sounds.  why not step outside the box a little? All the things I've seen you could easily do on an electric guitar, which seems pointless to me.
