cigari

An electronic cigar box guitar. The fingerboard is made of pcb material with a resistor connecting each trace. This makes the fingerboard a giant variable resistor, and allows the Critter Board to measure finger position. This information is used with the 2 knobs to control a couple of oscillators. It has a built in speaker and amplifier, and may be powered with a battery. Here is a short clip:
