The flexatone is a wonderful quirky instrument. If you want to hear it way up front in music, better put on Can's Ege Bamyashi and listen to Sing Swan Song where it practically works as a lead instrument. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

| awesome! thanks for the tip, I adore this instrument, I think I might buy one! Just one of those sounds that I always associate with the mind bending sounds of the 70s... |
