According to the
New York Times, there's a new instrument out there: "Earlier this week, The Sharper Image began selling a laser harp called the
beamz. The 18-inch high, $600 device, shaped like a W, connects to the USB port of your PC. It has six invisible laser beams that function as 'strings', each programmed with sounds. Breaking any of the beams by putting a hand into it triggers the system and gives the impression of a string being 'plucked'... The price does seem steep for what is essentially a high-end toy and has a very good chance of ending up on the high shelf of a storage closet."
Rico says he will avoid the obvious pun on being 'plucked' for six hundred bucks, though reluctantly, but it does look extremely cool...
