Osmose, if it’s ever released. First regular keyboard that is directly MPE.

Saw him playing one of these recently in a Nick Cave video. Love Warren Ellis.
I had the same reaction. Gotta have one of those.

I have the Ellis 5. I liked the idea of a 5-string baritone tenor guitar, tuned just like a cello with the extra string being E. The one downside is the low C string is kind of floppy, which I'm sure can be fixed by replacing with a thicker gauge and maybe a setup job.

There are sites you can use to check string gauges against tuning and scale length, such as this one:

Yes, it’s a very interesting keyboard. I’ve had my eye on it for a while, but my keyboard chops are shot. In the hands of a master it should really be something.
