Can anyone please tell me what instrument they use on the new Nintendo Wii commercials?  Can you recommend a good CD of that instrument?

OOOps,  here is a link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJgmOKx4W1M  The audio quality isn't great but they are airing it like crazy, at least in the North East.

Thanks,

Ken

Thats what it is.....Info Link....... (there's an audio link there as well).

They should add the sound of breaking glass. Read a story today in the paper that said plenty of broken tv screens lately. Seems the controller on the Wii tends to fly out of people's hands when they play..... crash.....

Yeah, spastically waving a stick around is no way to play videogames!

Any good recordings?  I will google it.

Thanks,

Personally I'm waiting for someone with no body position awareness to accidentally hit himself in the groin with a Wii controller.  You have no idea how hard I'd laugh if that happened.
