NOTHING TO DO WITH OBSOLETE, Part 2.
Apparently, the L train’s Bedford Avenue platform is the place to be if you are a giddy-new-digital-camera owner. Ben Simon, seen here, made this fantastic instrument. He calls it “Guitar2-D2.” Clever! At least I thought so—and I’ve never seen any of the Star Wars movies. Truth.
Guitar2-D2 has a synthesizer in the body and built-in speakers. It also has a set of 4 strings that are supposed to vibrate, like a sitar. “But they don’t really work,” he told me. “They just look cool.”
To learn more about this instrument-from-space, email Ben at getthepeople (at) gmail.com.
