At first I thought it was a Harmonium, but without a picture of the keyboard... now though I'm not so sure!

I'd say it's a sruti box. This is a type of harmonium that has no keyboard: it just plays a drone for indian music accompaniment.

But there are members who know probably more than me about that

Wood case with four dials and bowels on both sides.

Nevermind the sruti box! I'm going for the Stradivarius violin he has for only $19.95!

And have you checked out who the high bidder is?

Could someone be bucking to become the Undisputed King of Sruti Journalism?

Is there no limit to this man's ambtion?

Yeah. What I dig about it...it's not so much an instrument that fits in a suitcase. It's an instrument that IS a suitcase.

If you get it, I want a review

And I want to try it when I eventually get back to Alabama.

Jack of all trades, master of none? That describes a lot of us on this forum, actually.

I like how the seller spelled "instrucment" over and over.

Dale, when you win the sruti box on ebay, maybe you would be agreeable to a duet with my Hugh Tracey tenor kalimba, which I know that you also collect. If I remember correctly, when I drove through Alabama this summer, the state license plate has a reference to a song about stars, assuming, of course, that everyone should be familiar with that tune. Instead, let me suggest a song with more universal appeal, namely "Back Home Again in Indiana", not wanting to be partial or anything.

I don't know what that thing is, but it's got bowels on both sides. Ewww!
