Here are some views of the musical instrument oddity, the Marxolin. This multi-stringed instrument was meant to be played with a bow, violin-like, which is conspicous in its absence in these pictures. I didn't get one when I bought this used! Just as well. If I had tried to tune the strings, I think they would have broken or otherwise damaged the hardware on this old thing. Look up the history of this ax yourself to get a better handle on how it was played. The whole thing perplexed me.

eBay Update
I sold an Echoplex on eBay recently. A very nice unit I owned but which I didn't use much. I am next trying to hook up with a buyer on eBay who requested a Marxolin. Yes. I have one of those, too! I think I bought it from the same place that sold the Echoplex. How amazing.
