Teh ScratchophoneI ran across this very interesting turntable hybrid in a Google Video search for turntablism. It appears to be a turntable, mixer and bongo drum all in one! Check it out at the scratchophone website. This concept is absolutlely off the hook!!! I can see some real potential in this instrument. Very nice job on thinking of an awesome concept and turning it into a reality! Keep up the good work - stick at it. This hybrid really takes the ‘turntable as a musical instrument‘ movement to the next level!

Two faders up. T T.

I have a few questions for the creators of this ingenious invention:
1. How does the tone arm stay in place without skipping or damaging the record?
2. Exactly what type of fader are you using?
3. How do I get my hands on one to test it out? Where are you based?
