... hell is this thing? Well we're not going to tell you, just for once. See, this is the first of an occasional series of Making Music's fabulous What The Hell Is This Thing competition. Look, we'll give you a little clue. It's a musical instrument. All you have to do is to tell us the make and type, send it to What The..., Making Music, (Contact Details), by 31 July, and we'll give a free year's subscription to the first one out of our homburg. Go to it.
