While running errands this morning, I came across an interesting street musician that I've seen before a number of times at the train station. As you can see from the picture, his instrument is quite unique.
It looks primarily self-made and sounds somewhat like mix between an electric guitar and a harp. He runs it through a regular guitar amp and gets a very clean tone that is altered by a hint of reverb and delay.
The guy plays some pretty cool songs that I assume are his own. While a lot of the other street musicians play covers of well-known songs, I would expect him to play something he actually wrote given the investment of time he presumably put into the instrument itself. I just can't imagine him going to such great lengths from a creativity standpoint and then phoning in the songs themselves through covers.
