You want me to PLAY WHAT?!!

So many times in a musician's life, the band leader, the bride, the drunk or the wealthy patron asks, 'Can you play xxx?' Already rehearsed, the set list is down, there are no requests or in a live concert...we, the musicians, tip our head sideways and ask 'you want me to play what!?' This cat signifies that moment. Interestingly, the upside down instrument this sculpture is based on was a reject attempt at a new type of instrument, a Marxolin from the Marx Instrument company in the 20's. And they wanted us to play what on this?
