speak and spell bending is the most popular mod of the bending world (along with the casio sk range). everyone has done it due to the fact that it sounds great and it's easy to do.

there a link to get you started but if you search in google for 'bent speak and spell' you will find lots of other info.

I suspect this man has a Grillo Parlante which i have been looking for for ages. Does it actually speak in italian?

I love that little bug fella on the front.

If anyone can get me a german 'Buddy' i'll gladly swap it for my left leg or other bodily part.

and that wasn't meant to be quite as gay as it sounded................. ;)

The circuit of the grillo parlante is going to be exactly the same as most other speak&spell machines. I've got a french one that has the same layout and the same bends.
