  • I love my fender.

  • This is a horrible video. Akio Obuchi made a reproduction of this instrument, and it actually sounds VERY unique. It sounds like a cross between a violin and an organ.

  • wow, that sounds awful.

  • poor da vinci. now ppl say that this is your most important creation... wtf

  • @Sparklesarb Pretty cool, although you are centuries late!

  • I came up with a similar concept a few years ago, before I had heard about this. In my design the bow was activated by a foot pedal.

  • @rojman123 there ARE some reasons why inventions are never built lol

  • thanks for a great video

  • Da Vinci is said to be the true inventor of the bike chain...I think thats a bit more useful.

  • it's horrible!
