It's hardly a business plan, but when I win the lottery, I'll happily
purchase several. But seriously, I think a good thing to do would be to
get one in the hands of someone well-known and visible for free. Joanna
Newsom might be a good choice, and I'd love to hear what she did with
it. --DaveX

> Hello everyone-I'm the guy who came up with the wheelharp several years ago, and it seems that Oddmusic has generated way more interest than I would have ever thought. I have had several people wanting me to build them one, or a varient...but I still felt the design had a few bugs to work out, so I have spent the past seven years experimenting with new designs as time allows. I am starting on an instrument now that uses what I feel are the best qualities of everything I've tried so far. It's home will eventually be a gentleman in L.A.,who I am sure will master the thing...goodness knows I never will. Anyway...I am slowly trying to learn the business end of things- and am taking some free business classes offered by a local university extension office. Aside from being FREE, there is even the prospect of a grant to fund start up of a small business if they feel it has a shot. Has anyone here ever done a business plan, and demographics of who potential customers would be for odd musical instruments? I know there are folks out there- they may be few and far between, but they are there. I was even contacted by someone who worked for Bjork, as she was interested in commissioning a wheelharp- unfortunatly, my spam filter trashed it, and I didn't find the email till over a year later.
