Well there’s no excuse then, you have to make more and sell them (not for too much though!) :)

@ Neil, Well it’s conceivable, if you sweat through 3 layers of fabric and a layer of felt, but you probably wouldn’t do any real damage. It might even sound more interesting since the analog controls would go all haywire.

BTW, I recently added a mini-out jack to the design and it spits out more than enough signal to power some headphones loudly. I imagine it could sound pretty great amplified as well.

I’m in if you’re ever going to sell it! That’s awesome! Would there be any problems with sweat causing short circuits?

Unfortunately, not quite ready for sale, as I still need to work out the batter dilemma. Maybe I could make a kit if there is interest…

That looks pretty awesome, I’d buy one right now if i knew where to get it. A fashion accessory and instrument, who would’ve thought.

@BirdFLU: ha! I expect *someone* may have tried that with synth design at some point. Very doable. Go.

Instead of a wristband, I would like this as a codpiece.

Whisper = Want.

It’s perfect for boring meetings and too quiet study sessions.
