This appears to be one of the coolest kits. It's circuit bent awesomeness in a wooden box.
The board is beautiful. It's got rhythm that you mess with by touching contact points.
It sounds really cool, take a listen and check the video! - Link
Wander round the site while your at it for some circuit bent inspiration. I've been looking through all this stuff for a while and I'm itching to fire up the soldering iron. - Link

The output may be cool, but that circuit interface needs some serious work. Those flying leads are from hell! How about routing all of the contact points to a header on the side of the board....now that would make a lot of sense.

That's one of the coolest pc boards I've ever seen... and I collect pictures of PC boards :-)
Here are some more pictures of the fyrall, along with some equally cool design documentation.

Peter Blasser of Ciat-Lonbarde is a demented genius of electronic circuit design. He would be a great candidate for a Make: interview. You can try your hand at making some of his free circuit designs here:

You print the designs out on paper and then poke the component leads through the paper, instead of using a PCB. All of the circuit designs look really cool, which is somethng that can't be said for 99.9% of PCB layouts.
