I had dreams about just such an "alien" instrument when I was a very young boy back in the early 70's.
My gut reaction : cool!
Now, to the real question, is it performing?
To borrow a useful "German-ism", Yein. (yes AND no)
In a classical sense, hell no. But in a contemporary sense, making use of the musical technology available to us today, it certainly contains an element of performance.
I'll wager Bach & Beethoven would have thought it most excellent as a performance device, if we could transport an i-Whatever and the other necessary bits to an earlier century.
Definitely not for the "purists". I can't see Jack White using one on stage anytime soon. But being able to hammer like Jan with nothing but a thumb is pretty f-in cool if you ask me.
Now, back to my keys & strings...
