I stumbled across the Ruby Gamba the other day 
(http://www.ruby-gamba.com), 
and I thought it would be of interest to the loopers out there. Its an 
electric upright 7-stringed instrument  (tuned like a 7-string guitar or a 
viola de gamba) with frets that can be played with bow or pizzicato. It is 
freestanding, which allows people to twiddle on electrical equipment 
without 
worrying about holding the instrument up.

It looks great... and I want one. :)
