Are you sure that was from the BBC, not Nuts magazine?

Looks great.
I'd love one but the price (which I think is probably well worth it) would

The small version looks like a melodion.

They got one thing wrong - the LEDs are orange.
Surely they must know about the magic qualities of blue?

Thanks for posting that Steve, I caught the last bit of a piece on Radio 5 
about a "new instrument" but in the 2 mins I listened they didn't say what 
it was called so I had no idea what to look for.

P.S . Hmmm.. .....I wonder if the lefty version is more expensive
