Inspired by Les Claypool's own "Steve Whamola",
I decided to build Steve's bastard child for the final project
in my Multimedia class. Although I didn't have the resources
to build it like I really wanted to, I think it turned out
well and it's playable! It continues to be a work in progress
so I thought I would start documenting the evolution of this insane instrument.
Whamola Project update! Read my blog post which explains more about the project and how I built the instrument.
