Love Arm 4
The first Love Arm that can be held in one hand. It weighs approximately 3.5 Kg, equivalent to the normal electric guitar. Rawlings Big Stick baseball bat is used for its basic structure. At the tip is a battery operated flashing light, at the head part a spring unit and battery compartment box, and at the grip end one jack is installed for sound out put. To play Love Arm 4 you can boost up the out-put and just swing, lightly hit the stage or the ceiling, or just throws it when you get on the groove. The vibration of the spring will transform into a sound like crushing rocks or an explosion. It is structured to enjoy feedback sounds different from regular electric guitar sounds by turning up the volume of the amplifier.
