Back to the topic, people!

About the "instrument" itself: given the information from the trac ticket, it 
is of course neither supposed to be a musical instrument but an household appliance nor 
widely used by various musicians. Therefore it serves no real purpose for a big part of 
the db but for one artist only. So I'm against it.

More "votes" on this, please!
