In theory? does it work? I think i'm just going to try it with my
fingernail next time i go to the shop. Hay! thanks for all the input
fellas. Happy to say, i went on a mission today and hooked up with a
little Fischer Price jammy for 10 bones!

There was a discussion on another list about this; the gist was, that
in theory you need only a cone of paper & a pin (stuck through the
bottom of the cone).

Someone then one-upped that & said you could eliminate the pin &
simply use the corner of the paper.

So, there you go, no style or sound quality in sight. And, you can
play at any speed you like!
