Scratchophone Breathes New Life

What looks like a Conga drum is actually the Scratchophone – a portable scratch instrument that makes you cool simply by carrying it around. The Scratchophone is, in essence, a combination of a turntable, tonearm, mixer, speakers and a rechargeable battery. These are all stored within a customizable drum-like shell to give it that unique look. Of course, being special could mean running up a hefty bill as well since the basic Scratchophone setup already costs a whopping $1,617. For those who prefer to go about on their own, you can always purchase a kit although getting the $160 drum might get a little bit tricky should scarcity issues arise.
