Who wants a Graduated Kat ? GradKat with graduated bars like vibes !

I've been dreaming of a graduated bar Mallet Kat closely matching the playing surface of a vibraphone.
*** So you can use the same ingrained mallet spread or spacing for both instruments !
A Mallet Kat is essentially an electronic mallet instrument that plays any sound you want.
All the pads are the same size.
You plug it into any amp or sound system. We may add a built in, for practice, speaker.

7 aspects of the music we play and how it is recieved

Today's coffee hour conversation touched down on this twice, once during the discussion of mallet hardness (pretty universal agreement that music not heard is music not good) and again during the discussion about the role of lyrics. These are concepts I have been wrestling with for years and my ideas are not yet fully formed, but let me know what you think~

I believe there are four modalities of the sound we create with our instruments.
