No price set, the actual design is not finalized. 

Wondering if the Dasher Cootie paddle would change my operating style, I put a cardboard cutout next to a Bug at about 2 finger widths from the Bug dah paddle. This was only a guess for spacing. 

For double dashes,  ie, like Q, W, J, M, numbers etc, I am finding that touching the Cootie Dasher paddle feels very normal. Even if making the character has your finger at the Cootie Dasher then touching the dit paddle is not a strange feeling. 

Probably my explanation is terrible, sorry!

Has Begali set the price yet?   I was lucky enough to get one of the eleven Begali Sculpture Galaxy bugs (S/N008) that were just released.  Its cost was, let’s just say, jaw-dropping at over double that of their other Sculptures (>$1100).   Not sure the XYL will approve another such purchase before she gets ‘her turn’ at a luxury purchase.    Oh but what a beautiful bug it is.   Stunning next to the other Sculptures I have.  This bug / cootie design is intriguing.  I never learned to send cootie style.  Seeing it in operation has be wondering how it would throw off my bug sending fist.

Happy Dance, received the email from Bruna Begali this morning and I'm on the list for the BUG! 

 

This is a new design for Begali and we all know he will get it perfect as usual.

 

If you would have an inkling about acquiring one, please contact Bruna Begali and get on the list.
