^wow. it would be a dream to get my hands on that.

OH. what do you think of Harry Partch? he's my hero. I would love to build instruments like he did, but i don't find myself very handy.

he was quite the tech artist, like a cross between moog and terman [theremin] and liberace.

nope, i have no idea what harry partch looks like. i only know what his speaking voice sounds like. i have one of his old albums where he talks about his creations and the philosophy behind them. no, the avatar is none other than the late character actor art carney as "henry corwin" a drunk and disappated department store santa who has seen better days but finds redemption at the end, in the classic twilight zone episode "night of the meek."
