Japanese String Instrument Flat Hand Tool

Really fantastic big string sound in the VSL instrument family.

Dust cover, stretchy material, pull string to tighten around instrument base. Plenty of slack to fit just about any keyboard 49-61 keys.

It is truly a reliable tool to have on hand.

Excellent tool for the price. This is a must-have for those tiny little screws on Japanese cameras. If you do manage to catch one of them with an American screwdriver you will soon strip the head. This little tool grips them perfectly so you can insert and withdraw those little screws with zero damage to either the tool or the screwdriver. The rotating head and knurled body are very helpful details.

Brilliant case, fits in hand nicely with a good grip. String magnet as well.

At first glance this wrist strap seems flimsy. But it is actually fairly sturdy. The string loop is thicker than some cheap straps I bought at that giant online retailer everyone shops at. The main nylon loop is smaller than usual and fits my small hand, but a large hand might be a problem. The stitching looks strong. I wouldn’t use this with a heavy full frame camera, but it seems adequate for APS-C or smaller.

Just the right tool for hand holding the Rotolight.

Great tool to have on hand for video shoots!

Great tool to have on hand... way too expensive for what it is, but super useful.

Got this based on my experience with the TE Op-1, a modern classic. The Z is smaller, more powerful, and a distinctly different instrument to the OP-1. The emphasis here is on performance, and the influence of the Pocket Operators is strong on this. Theres a lot of options and control behind an interface that has a bit of a learning curve. Bear through it, it pays off! The integration to do light controls and Unity to do visuals on an iPhone or iPad is a game changer. Its easy to connect and is the ultimate tool to impress at a house party (sadly no longer in my repertoire). Its pricey and doesnt compare with synths in its price category for synth editing and sound creation, as its really a category of its own. The sequencing, sampling, sound engines, etc. all together makes it the ultimate musical tinker tool on the airplane, tour bus, backwoods -- wherever. If history is any indicator, TE will invest in lots of updates that will continue to unlock functionality over time, which is like getting a new instrument every few months. Recommend buying one - put the future of synth workstations in your pocket!
