  1. Even granting that having to hold this thing sticking out from your shoulder like a violin is a good idea (which I doubt), why, exactly, is it a good idea to have to carry the weight of the modules?

    A violin is held the way it is to allow bowing. This thing has nothing like the expressiveness of a bow.
