Interesting needle.
I found this little gem in an online auction and figured I'd post a few pictures. It's along the lines of the Everplay needle. Someone put an advert for chewing gum inside the lid. I wonder if it was the needle maker, or the company who made the boxes working some sort of deal. The needle itself sits in a groove on the shaft and is held in by a thumb screw. The top of the needle is threaded so length can be adjusted for the desired volume.

Re: Interesting needle.
I've never seen one, but it's an interesting concept...

Re: Interesting needle.
I see how you replace the tip, but how do you vary the tone? By how far you extend the tip?

Re: Interesting needle.
The thumb screw is fixed and the back of the. Needle is threaded. The more you twist the more needle is exposed.

Re: Interesting needle.
Personally, I wouldn't use this. I would display this as a curio. It sure is unusual.
