Kelstone, new musical instrument

Hello fellow members,

My name is Jan Van Kelst and I’m the designer of a new revolutionary instrument: The Kelstone.
The essence of the Kelstone is that the hands lie on top of the strings, giving the player enormous new possibilities for harmony and expression:

The Kelstone is tuned all the way up in fourths (B, E, A, D, G, C, F, Bb, Eb) and as a consequence the studying of chords and scale is a lot easier than on the guitar or keyboard.

It is a very intuïtive and direct instrument because it lies in front of you. This gives a perfect visibility, ergonomics and a great freedom of movement for the player.
It sure adds a value on stage and studio.

We would like to contact Prince and his musicians when they come to play on the 5th and 6th of july in Ghent, Belgium.

Does anybody have a contact so that we can propose this to the band or the management.

You would help us a lot.

All the best

Jan Van Kelst

albo, I fixed your link; it was gong to a "computerworld" thread or maybe the poster can contact Gav, a moderator at www.moquake.com to see if he could get a name for a contact person in the Prince camp.
