Chop-shop reworkings of instruments built for other uses rarely appeal to me and, as far as I'm concerned, are rarely as successful as things finding uses at least a little closer to a builder's original intent.

i, however am sympathetic to this and any other down market attempt at going baroque. frankenstein was looking for the secret of life and his monster did, indeed, experience soul. perhaps these deviants will find themselves sailing into bleak and desolate arctic wastes and end their wretched existence on a lost and lonely ice flow ...
