It&#8217;s called the REEL. It&#8217;s a remake of the 30 foot long EEL that I helped design in 2013. It&#8217;s about 3 foot across 40 pounds and has 20 audience playable keys. All of it can be controlled \u00a0remotely through wireless DMX. \u00a0Designed to either be crowd surfed or carried through the crowd allowed everybody a chance to play along with the band. This new device which is yet another invention of the very creative mind of Mike Gordon\u2026was mostly the work of my friend Collin, his dad Tim and \u00a0software wizard Loudoun\u2026 My role in this one was relativly small. I helped On some of the design considerations, worked some of the software and helped Colin and his dad on tuning and testing. . The amazing thing is that Collin and his dad finish the mechanicals just in \u00a0time to loaded on a truck to take to Austin and Loudoun was able to integrate his software on the last day.
