   It IS 'squishy' to the touch, because it's molded from silicone, which also   
   gives it the ability to produce vibrato in response to the player's finger

   directly above the keys, or below them.

   It's got me interested...see, I'm not averse to new things...only to hyping   
   them for nothing more than they're being new.
