A friend has a book called experimental musical instruments and in it 
there's a gutted speak and spell that has a silver platform and three 
balls that you can roll around on it to change the sound... wild... 
I can't remember who made it.
I'll find out who published the book if anyone's interested.... it 
came with a CD but i'm not sure if it featured that instrument or 
just some sound work by the maker of it....
