I had the privilege to play one once for half an hour. It is a beautifully elegant instrument and incredibly expressive in the right hands (obviously not mine!). If I had $20,000 guacamoles, I'd certainly do my best to talk them into making me one. The most interesting thing about it is that you don't have to fight it to make expressive music.
