hello, i am not sure if this is where i should post this, so mods, feel free to move this accordingly!
anyways, I have been listening to this song on Lateralus called "reflection" and about 1:35 into the song there is an instrumant solo, but i don't know know what instrument that is! i also remember hearing it when i watched the movie "passion of the Christ" it kind of sounds like a violin, but i am not sure. Does anybody know what instrument that is?

Check the liner notes, maybe a guest musician will be listed if it's not one of the band members playing it? |

Adam used to play violin, and I assumed it was him playing it. |

At least, that's no sound I've ever heard come out of one. |

oh, and definitely NOT a theremin. I need to listen to that album again. |

More likely, though, it's the Epilady Adam uses from time to time. It's an old device that women used to use to yank hair out of their legs. It's got a wire sort of like a weedwacker that spins in a figure 8. I've read some things where he says he uses the wire on his guitar strings, and it makes a bow-like sound. |
