Here is my newest instrument up for auction. Let's get right down to the modifications. This one has a pitch knob, which is controlled by a toggle switch. When the switch is in one position, the knob which controls the pitch, will pitch the instrument down, when the switch is in the other position, turning the knob will pitch the instrument up. It also has another knob which distorts the tones. This is capable of some neat things, disintegrating melodies, and weird patterns. Take a look at the video, and tell me what you think. Takes 3 AA batteries.

This is a speak and spell clone. It's called an alphabet learning center. I opened 'er up and added in some nice bends for you. It's got one potentiometer which controls the pitch; it can be pitched up, and down, until the tones, voices, and various other sounds decay into blips, and squeals, and patterns. There is a second bend, which is potentiometer controlled, but I didn't want to lose the original sound of the toy, so I added a switch to turn it on and off. It distorts the sounds, makes the voice more robot like, perhaps. You'll love it, I'm sure. I also added in a 1/4" out put jack, for your sampling, amplifying, plugging needs. Takes 4 AA batteries.
