It's a one-of-a-kind instrument built by Korg. I always wanted to try one, but Joe had the only few they built.
It's wind controlled, with pressure & velocity controlling volume.
The notes are done with square buttons, like an accordion but larger.
It had MIDI output, so he could control any electronic instrument with it.
Awfully cool.
