NeKo Keyboard Set on Fire, Beaten
by Peter Kirn

Here at CDM, we've covered instruments powered by flames,
but not necessarily instruments set aflame. This one is just too
painful to watch. At a party hosted by Native Instruments,
Windows-powered keyboard maker Open Labs encouraged DJ Richard Divine
to destroy their NeKo keyboard, supposedly to demonstrate how rugged it
is. So Rick D responded by setting the NeKo on fire. Apparently that
did nothing, as the keyboard plays on in the video. Until he hit it. Hard. With a baseball bat. Several times.
I had to avert my eyes. Um, Open Labs, next time can you just give it to me instead?
Via Music Thing. I think Dave may be a guitarist, if he has a stomach for watching this happen to a keyboard.
